Drake‘s final ticket sales for the It’s All A Blur tour have been tabulated, and, as expected, have blown pas the record for the top grossing Hip Hop Tour to date.
According to an Instagram post by Genius, after selling out each of the 80 shows on the North American run, It’s All A Blur grossed a total of $320.5 million.
Along with the grand total, the post also shared a screenshot of a breakdown of the ticket sales at each of the 39 venues Drake played along the way. All in all, a total of 1.3 million tickets were sold.
Check out the post below.
In November, with just 30 of the then 72-scheduled shows in the books, Drake eclipsed Kendrick Lamar’s Big Steppers Tour by earning $129.7 million for his It’s All A Blur Tour.
Going into this tour run, some speculated that Drake should’ve done stadiums but it looks as if the arena strategy has worked out just fine for the OVO boss.
The Big Steppers Tour began in July 2022 following the release of Kendrick Lamar’s long-awaited fifth album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers and came to an end that September having earned $110.9 million from 929,000 tickets across 73 shows.
The It’s All A Blur tour broke another record in July of this year, when it rumbled through Washington, D.C. for a pair of shows on July 28 and 29, which made him the first rapper to eclipse $5 million in revenue from a single arena concert in U.S. history.
According to Touring Data, the Capital One Arena concerts each banked an average of $5.032 million in ticket sales, which amounts to a combined $10.064 million across the two nights.
The back-to-back sold-out concerts drew a reported 34,303 attendees, with tickets prices averaging $293.40.
These huge figures mean his July 28 stop in D.C. was also the highest-grossing concert of Drake’s career.
Drizzy even referenced the $5 million-for-a-show bag during his tour stop in Montreal last month while performing his 2013 hit “Started From the Bottom,” on which he rapped about getting $500,000 for a show.
