Why no numbers for the Fearless tour? Are they not sharing?

I expect that they're withholding the numbers at the moment so that at the end of the tour (or at a significant time such as when most effective for an award bid), they can release all the numbers and put out a HUGE press release boasting about the records broken, etc.

Youngest country artist to gross $__ and sell __ seats... First female to sell (insert number) seats on her first headlining tour... Only female to sell out tickets on an average of this number of minutes...
Come on, people! :) There are people whose jobs are to write these things.
(And I'm not just talking about Taylor, but press releases in general. Taylor was just the topic asked about. Plus, it's more predictable in her case. Didn't they have a press release about how many hours she signed at Fan Fair last year? Her team is brilliant, btw.)
(And I should just stop talking...)

Her show was good, but not $300/ticket good. If you've seen any of her videos and any of her awards show performances, then you've seen what her live show is like.

Im just surprised its not even top 100 It's because the tickets aren't very expensive. The ranking goes by how much the concert made. And since she has a lot of her tickets at $20, the concert didn't make as much as people that charge a lotttt more.

I just thought she charged more; originally i knew she only charged $20 but when I said that some of her diehards told me she charged $300 for some, so I was confused lol

I think the most I've ever paid for a concert is $20. For three people.
Cheap cheap cheap, I know. But hey, I live like, 5,000 miles from any good venues. The only acts we get around here are long-since-has-beens like Janie Fricke, Bobby Bare, etc.
