:thumbsup: Adele, I think it is, beats them by only selling to registered fans. Most bands/singers are in with the leeches, selling huge blocks of tickets to them for collosal sums. So they get two income streams - one from fans and touts directly buying from them as far-from-cheap prives...

You can see why Ariana has a massive following, great voice, looks and charisma. Brilliant that she returned here so quickly, showing that the free world goes on.
