  • Description: Ticket sales picked up significantly after capacity restrictions were lifted in June and July on arenas and other indoor venues, and they have held fairly steady even after big-name cancellations like the Foo Fighters return show on June 24 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., which was delayed after someone connected to the band contracted COVID-19. The vaccines would be the new benchmark for safety at concerts and live events with a mandate that would draw rebuke in some states but would make no measurable difference in terms of ticket sales. Since the capacities are smaller depending on the venue, most residencies don't exactly fit the definition of a "big show." Next was Usher, who returned to Las Vegas in July to play 14 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, earning him $13 million for the year with 59,000 tickets sold, the same number of tickets as Mars but with an average ticket price that was over $100 cheaper.
