Burna boy isn’t just trending on Twitter
for his awesome performance, but also
for the amount of cash he generated
from his sold-out Madison Square
Garden Concert!
It would be recalled that Burna is the
first Nigerian music artist to headline a
sold-out concert in Madison Square
Garden in New York, USA. While his
achievement is mind-blowing, he is
also the first to rake over N3 billion in
ticket sales alone.
According to Business Day, Tickets
sold for as low as $80 with an average
of $350 and as high as $2,125. Their
calculations using average sales of
N145,365.50 ($350) multiplied by the
total available capacity for a music
concert in the arena of 20,789, with
the current exchange rate of N415.33
the sum totals $7,276,150 which cost
over N3,022,003,379.50.
This puts Burna Boy ahead of his
colleagues with his 2 hours internet-
breaking concert. The concert titled
‘One Night in Space’ streamed live on
YouTube gaining over 81,000 viewers
drawing fans from different countries
including Nigeria, United Kingdom,
Australia, and Canada.
With this achievement, Burna Boy
finally joins Michael Jackson, Elvis
Presley, The Beatles, Adele, Rihanna,
Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, and Mariah Carey
on the list of artists, who have sold
out the world’s most famous arena.
