Jay-Z Ticket Sales Bust or Not?

It is interesting to see all the negative and subtle jabs towards Jay-Z by some establishment outlets after creating 4:44 album. From false readings of ticket sales to certain commentators being the mouth piece of those same entities stating the downfall of Jay-Z. If you are going to come after someone, back it up with real data.

The JAY-Z tickets selling for $6 a pop on StubHub don’t reflect soft demand for his tour: they’re actually a sign that the hip-hop star has successfully priced ticket scalpers out of the game by charging market rates for the best seats in the house.
Just three dates in, JAY-Z’s 4:44 Tour is already the rapper’s highest grossing solo tour ever, promoter Live Nation tells Billboard. Average gross for the 4:44 Tour’s completed shows is up 21 percent over his 2013 Magna Carter Tour — Live Nation said the Honda Center show in Anaheim, Calif., earned nearly 49% more than the same stop in 2013. www.billboard.com/articles/business/8023168/jay-z-444-tour-highest-grossing-tickets-stubhub
