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.

In total, Beyoncé’s four shows earned the most revenue, with Eagles’s three shows in June coming in second place. But it was the Italian opera singer that brought in the most in ticket sales for one night – beating out all the musicians, comedians and other entertainment events that were held at the Dublin venue in 2014.

The full list of highest grossing acts for the 3Arena, with figures provided by music and entertainment trade publication Pollstar, is here:
