How these numbers are counted
A show is one title in one city, however many dates or sellers it has. Only upcoming shows are counted. Prices are the lowest "from" price a ticketing site shows for the show; shows without a listed price are left out of price figures, and a city's median price is shown only when at least 5 of its shows have a price. Figures come from 2,382 listings on 23 October 2026 and change as the listings do. You are welcome to quote them; please link to this page.
