Travis Scott has officially made history, with his Circus Maximus tour surpassing Drake’s previous record for the most ticket sales on a rap tour, as earlier predicted.
As of Tuesday, October 22, reports from Complex indicated that Scott’s tour had sold an impressive 1.5 million tickets, eclipsing the record set by Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour, which garnered 1.3 million tickets from 2023 to early 2024.
Travis Scott can’t still touch Drake’s revenue record
While Travis Scott’s ticket sales are remarkable, there is still a gap in revenue between the two artists. Drake’s tour grossed a staggering $320.5 million, a feat that may remain untouched for now. Earlier this month, Circus Maximus grossed $154.6 million from 1.2 million tickets sold, leaving it unlikely to match Drake’s financial success.
