This number proves just how legendary AC/DC is, a staggering eight years after their last big tour, they’re finally back on the road with the Power Up Tour! While strategically avoiding major sporting events like the Olympics in France and the Euros certainly helps attendance, it’s not the only factor at play. As the quote from Pollstar reveals, meticulous planning considers logistics, weather, Brian Johnson’s vocal health, and financial viability. Get ready for a concert unlike any other – a night where legendary anthems collide with new sonic assaults from their chart-topping album, Power Up.
On the topic of the ticket sales for AC/DC’s 2024 tour, Chris said:
“We believed it was going to be one of the biggest tours ever, but you just never know until you put tickets on sale. It’s like Christmas the night before we went on sale. You can’t sleep, you’re nervous. I woke up at 2:30 or 3 in the morning and Europe had already opened — and we’d sold out some of the shows already. They sold 1.5 million tickets in one day. … It’s staggering and it gives you great faith because they’re very particular in how they conduct their business. They don’t do VIP. They don’t do dynamic ticket pricing. They never want to hear fans complaining about ticket prices being too high. There’s also a point where we have to push it a little bit because otherwise they couldn’t afford to tour — especially when they’re playing one day on, three days off. … Obviously the goal is to hopefully have them continue if they enjoy it and it works well … to try to keep them out in ’25, ’26, ’27, however long they want to go, but we gotta get through Europe first.” You can read the whole article at Pollstar
