U2 tops list of most expensive concert tickets in 2024 as Taylor Swift ranks 17th

In 2024, U2 topped the list of the most expensive concert tickets, averaging nearly £300. Taylor Swift, despite her popularity, ranked 17th with an average ticket price of £163 for her Eras world tour. Garth Brooks and Lady Gaga followed U2, with average ticket prices of £285 and £252, respectively. Other notable acts included the Eagles, Bad Bunny, and George Strait, all charging more than Swift. The high ticket prices for U2 and Brooks are attributed to their performances in the U.S., where additional taxes apply. Meanwhile, the UK government announced plans to cap resale ticket prices to combat ticket touting.
