How we measure this
The price of a show is the cheapest ticket listed for it on our partner marketplaces (HelloTickets, Ticket Squeeze, TicketNetwork) with fees included, read twice a day. It is the price to get in, not the price of a good seat.
Rankings use the median across each artist’s upcoming dates and include only artists with three or more dates on sale, so a single expensive night does not decide the order. “Popular” means the 40 artists with the most demand on the ticket platforms we track.
