Roger Waters’ “Wall” tops ticket sales chart

Posted May 19, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters‘ tour of “The Wall” is at the top of the chart for ticket sales of musical, theatre and sports events for the week ending May 16.

Ticket sales tracking company TicketNews announced Waters was #1 on its Top Combined Events chart.

“The Wall” show has a huge lead over #2 on the list — with a 13.19 “power score” over the 4.83 score of Broadway show “Wicked.” Lady Gaga is third at 2.48; Justin Bieber is in fourth place at 2.29.

None of this is news to people who logged on at 10 a.m. May 10 when “Wall” tickets went on sale. Waters immediately sold-out many venues, and added a dozen shows to the tour by the end of the day to help meet demand.

TicketNews’ scores are based on sales from the TicketNetwork Exchange, the world’s largest secondary market exchange. Total ticket sales from the given event and total ticket sales within the category are used to calculate power scores.
