Another week, another 5 concert reports for the Idol Live Tour. This time…5 SOLD-OUT concerts. Yay! Much has been made that the venues are smaller this year, but I will note that the Raleigh and Nashville concerts were the second and third most attended single concerts since Season 5 (only the concert in Little Rock in S8 sold more tickets). The S10 Nashville and Raleigh concerts were the best attended for those cities in AI tour history. In S2, Raleigh did sell-out (the runner-up, Clay Aiken was from there), but the number of tickets available were fewer. Nashville has never had a sell-out before. In fact, Idol frequently struggled to sell tickets in Nashville and skipped over it often.

So far, Raleigh has sold the most tickets and made the highest revenue of any concert this season.
There are no concert reports for The Voice, yet. But Live Nation was very slow at reporting AI tour reports last year (and reported very few of them). AI is back with AEG this year and we are back to getting timely reports.
