Bruno Mars plays 93.3 FLZ's Jingle Ball at the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times Forum.
Bruno Mars placed in two capacity categories on this week's chart. His two Staples Center shows in Los Angeles grossed a combined $2,734,648. Tickets for the July 27-28 dates ranged $39.50-$129.50. The highest ticket price was much lower at Mars' Aug. 5-6 dates at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo. A top ticket price of $79.50 led to a gross of just over $1 million for his two shows. Tonight, Aug. 14, Mars plays a sold-out show at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. His next performance, Aug. 15 at Toyota Center in Houston, is another sellout. Next, Mars heads to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 17, and KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., Aug. 18.
Kenny Chesney also appears twice on this week's Hot Tickets chart. He had a huge, $3-million date at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, where nearly 48,000 fans came to watch the country star. The ticket range for the July 20 performance was $26.50-$225. Chesney's July 24 show at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., grossed nearly $700,000 with more than 11,000 attendees. Ticket prices for the Fresno show reached up to $79.50. Chesney's tour is promoted by The Messina Group. Next, Chesney plays Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto on Aug. 15, before heading back to the states to play at Ford Field in Detriot, Aug. 17.
