Talk:List of highest-grossing concert tours by women

Timeline of the highest-grossing tour by woman
There's inconsistency in this article. If Twenty Four Seven Tour (2000) was the highest-grossing tour by a woman, then what do Let's Talk About Love World Tour and Wildest Dreams Tour do here? If we base these claims on Billboard boxscore, then disclaimer should be well explained on the article, because in fact neither Tina Turner (in 2000) nor Madonna (in 2006) broke this record. To avoid readers getting confused, I personally suggest to remove this timeline section altogether, besides there's already Legend (red ‡) indicating which tour held the record.

 * Deleted. The timeline only used sources where specifically said it was "the highest-grossing tour by a women" up that point, like this from Billboard Box Score history. That's why I haven't include Dion or Turner (Wildest Dreams Tour), because as some sources contradict each other, we don't even know per se if Turner's 1996 tour grossed more than Dion of those 1990s tour or less than Turner's 2000 tour. Some reliable sources can give slightly different numbers, including $408, $411 or more for the Sticky & Sweet Tour for example. Perhaps this is why the difference between Cher and the Confessions Tour (a tour with even more than $200 million reported from others too). --Apoxyomenus (talk) 14:58, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Tracking

 * Future Nostalgia Tour have inside WP's main article, a report of $103.2 million enough to be (as of Sep 2023) the fifth highest-grossing tour in the 2020s, but there is not a source. Only a report of $89 million from 71 shows by Billboard Box Score.

The Mrs. Carter World Tour exclusion
The Mrs. Carter World Tour by Beyoncé has grossed 229 million dollars and should be added. Data from Billboard and Pollstar verify its gross. 190.80.34.14 (talk) 10:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Eras - Pollstar
Swift's figure was reported to Pollstar but not to Billboard, which list Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour as the all-time top female tour.

This one sentence should be corrected, not the list, but just this sentence. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour figures has not been reported to Pollstar. According to Variety, Taylor Swift's management team will not be reporting her figures to any tour trackers (link is below). Therefore, any figures reported for the Eras Tour will be estimates. Also, Pollstar's own reporting says that figure is an estimate, link is below. Billboard has their own estimates as well for the Eras Tour, but Billboard does not include estimates in their lists so that is why Beyonce's Renaissance Tour is #1 for Billboard.

Previous Record Holders
I feel there is an inconsistency in how the page report things. Eras tour began in March and the data we're quoting ends in December at 1B USD with only 9 dates after September. Renaissance started in May and ended in October at 580M USD. It is mathematically impossible for it to have grossed more than the Eras, at any point. 37.157.167.62 (talk) 16:09, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
