Interesting that there are only three women in this Top 20 list and they couldn’t be any more different! Haha.

great numbers for mariah, also noticed that she commanded the highest average ticket price @ $100 +. if her ticket prices were much lower, she probably could have gotten more people to watch her shows!

@DD I realize that too! I didn’t know tickets were so cheap for other artistes! But then again, to see Mariah Carey, you can’t possibly be paying an average that’s below $100 right? That’s the price you pay for a superstar!!! :-p

DD,
Compared to what Madonna charges Mariah’s ticket prize as a legend is pretty low.

If people want to see you they will pay no matter what so I fail to see how if Mariah went uber cheap she would get more bodies in seats. She charges a fair price for her fans unlike some people.
