Ye broke his own U.S. rap attendance record in Dallas: promoter says 83,000 tickets and $16.5 million

Ye's Nov 7 YE LIVE show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington is now the most-attended rap concert in U.S. history, according to the venue, with promoter figures attached for the first time.

Ye's Nov 7 YE LIVE show at AT&T Stadium in Arlington is now the most-attended rap concert in U.S. history, according to the venue, with promoter figures attached for the first time. AT&T Stadium's official account posted Sunday morning, "history made" and said Ye "headlines the most attended rap show in US history at AT&T Stadium," without giving a count. Later Sunday morning, a representative for IKON Presents, the company producing the stadium run, confirmed to Breakfast Club reporter Loren Lorosa that the Dallas show sold 83,000 tickets and generated $16.5 million. Lorosa wrote that the total exceeds the promoter's reported 74,412 tickets from the Houston show a week earlier, and she added IKON's line: "100% independent tour." One honest wrinkle: the Houston Chronicle and IQ Magazine had put Houston at 80,210, a figure ITSBIZKIT noted was never publicly reconciled with IKON's 74,412. Dallas's 83,000 clears both reported Houston numbers. Kid Cudi and Dallas native Erykah Badu came out during the show. The U.S. run's next date is Nov 21 at State Farm Stadium in the Phoenix area. These are promoter- and venue-reported figures, not a Billboard Boxscore.
