Sir Paul McCartney reportedly charges the most across the world for his gig ticket prices.
New figures have shown that The Beatles and Wings legend commanded an average of £206.68 per head for his two-and-a-half hour shows in 2022. Ed Sheeran, who charges £68.78, would have to sell three times as many tickets to match the 80-year-old’s concert revenue - Sheeran earned £209.3m from 63 shows while Sir Paul raked in over £87.57m from just 16 shows.
The Scouse superstar’s average ticket fees also eclipse those of far younger A-listers like BTS (£129.7), The Weeknd (£121.66), Lady Gaga (£119.05), Red Hot Chili Peppers (£108.26) and Billie Eilish (£90.35). Coming in at second most expensive though was UK rivals Genesis and The Rolling Stones, fronted by Sir Mick Jagger, 79.
