James Blunt's ticket sales for his gig in Dublin's 3Arena last November were not so beautiful - he came second last in the top 20 most successful gigs at the dockside venue last year.
The champion tweeter and bane of internet trolls sold 3,132 tickets for his show, making €137,964 in sales. Despite stiff competition from megastars Beyoncé and The Eagles, it was Italian popera singer Andrea Bocelli who made the most money for his one night show in November, grossing €1,113,765 in ticket sales.
According to music industry publication Pollstar, Beyoncé, who played four shows at the 3Arena in 2014, earned the most revenue with €4,004,652 or €1,001,163 per show.
