I think your age is showing here. The Stones could pull that in 20 years ago. The people who really want to pay to see them are all getting way up in years and not really interested in concerts anymore.

That said, another reason why stadium tours don’t happen much is the huge amount of up front cost of production. Garth’s show takes something like 50 semis to move around. That’s a massive expense to build and you have to be sure you’re going to get a return on it. Nobody really attempts it other than him and Chesney and Kenny doesn’t really use much other than a stage.

Ohh yea. My apologies. I'm a dumb arse. I remember I wanted to go but was poor and peddling pizzas at night as 2nd job back then.

George Strait. Personally, I don't care about Garth Brooks, but if George Strait was going to be performing I'd be willing to deal with the traffic to go.

Beyonce is overrated.

Swift probably could.

Lil Wayne.

Queen maybe.

Guns & Roses maybe. They packed the Raiders stadium in Las Vegas.

Eminem.

Y'all are underestimating the power of pop music.

Think Bieber, Timberlake, and Bruno Mars could reach those numbers.

But if i had to bet money, Morgan Wallen might be able to today because he'd draw in people from any conceivable driving distance. His cheapest concert ticket in arenas sells for around $300 right now and if it ever got to around $100, the masses would flock to see him.

I would rather sit through a six hour Faith Tones concert than listen to five minutes of Garth Brooks.

I agree with this. Anyone go to the Morgan Wallen concert in Lafayette last weekend? How was it?

Didn't go but I've never heard anyone say he didn't put on a good show. Getting canceled might have been the best thing to ever happen to him

The 2007 Led Zeppelin Celebration Day Concert in London had 20,000 tickets to sell. They got 20 million requests for tickets world wide.

I think they could do it.
