Taylor Swift Nabs StubHub’s Top Tour Of 2015

As if we needed yet
another reason why 2015 was the year of Taylor Swift, we now have it thanks to
the folks at StubHub.

Taylor was the top
tour for 2015, according to new data released by the online ticket outlet.

The
“1989” superstar was the overall top selling act for the year, with
an average ticket price of $237.

Taylor was followed
by Garth Brooks, Billy Joel and U2. Ed Sheerhan (who beat out Taylor as
Facebook’s Top Music Artist for 2015) rounded out the top five.

The Grateful Dead’s
“Fare Thee Well” tour actually topped Taylor in average ticket price,
with Dead Heads forking out an average of $360 per ticket through StubHub. With
only five shows in their tour, however, the pseudo-reincarnation of The Dead
only placed seventh on the overall top acts list.
