A SURPRISING NAME earned the lowest box office sales per night at the 3Arena in Dublin last year.
James Blunt came bottom of the pile of musicians at the venue with a paltry €137,964 in ticket sales (that would be 3,132 tickets sold) for his November gig.
There was also a shock name at the top of the per-night earnings – as it wasn’t Beyoncé or Ed Sheeran. It was, in fact, Andrea Bocelli who made the most money for his one night show in November – grossing €1,113,765 in ticket sales.
