2007 Has Top Tours Despite Ticket Sale Decline

LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Despite a massive decrease of 19.2% in event ticket sales, some tours still managed to post some huge numbers.

"Yes, a 19.2% decrease in attendance is very disturbing, since it reflects that the consumers are not really supporting breaking and mid-level talent," AEG Live president/ CEO Randy Phillips says. "If this trend continues, who will be the headliners of tomorrow?"

Also according to Billboard, Industry leader Live Nation "was a lighter touring year than 2006," said Jason Garner, president of North American Music. "We saw fewer artists on the road, especially in our global touring unit. We had some great artists out; there were just less of them than past years."
