Eric Church officially launched his “Holdin’ My Own” tour on Jan. 13, at Pinnacle Bank Arena, Lincoln, Neb., and for the first time in his headlining history, there are no support acts. The Messina Touring Group and AEG Live-promoted show at The Palace at Auburn Hills, Mich., Feb 25, made our Hot Tickets chart this week. Church entertained a sold-out crowd of nearly 19,000 fans and, with tickets ranging from $25-$90, grossed over $1.2 million. This time around, in an effort to ensure that his “Church Choir” fans get good tickets at face value, Church revamped the on-sale and pre-sale process to eliminate scalpers from the equation.

Balancing touring with his time on "The Voice," Blake Shelton made our Hot Tickets chart three times this week with his “Doin’ It to Country Songs” tour, which takes him across the western half of the U.S. With a combined gross of over $2 million and approximately 31,000 fans in attendance, these shows highlighted not only Shelton’s hits, but also the catalogs of two of his famous mentorships, Raelynn and Sundance Head, who were his support acts. Fans can catch up with Shelton and his mentees at the Ford Center, Evansville, Ind., on March 16.
