How Much Would You Pay to See Jackie Evancho in Concert?

The Pine-Richland singing sensation is among the artists with the most expensive concert tickets ever sold.

Pine-Richland singing sensation Jackie Evancho has something in common with international stars Celine Dion, Elton John and Shania Twain besides a sensational singing voice.   

The 12-year-old soprano prodigy is featured among the best-selling artists with the most expensive concert tickets ever sold, according to therichest.com.

Only the average price of the tickets was considered. Concerts that feature various artists were not listed.

After sold-out concerts in New York City with an average ticket price of $624, Jackie, the only pre-teen on the roster, is at No. 5 on the list, beating out veteran performers Twain, Dion and John.

With average ticket prices at $1,073 per pop, Sting is at no. 1 on the most expensive tickets list, followed by “Maggie May” singer Rod Stewart, whose concert sales average a respectable $784 per ticket.

Jackie is scheduled to perform with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 12, at Heinz Hall.

That figure leaves me a bit confused. Jackie's concert tickets usually run from $40.00 to $125.00. Meet and Greet tickets have been priced at $500.00; one venue set it at $750.00. Some PBS stations have charged $1,000.00, but that was for TWO meet & greets, making the price $500.00 each. To say that the AVERAGE price of Jackie's tickets is $624.00 seems a bit ... I don't know ... contrived?

Hi, Jessica. Thanks for posting this bit of information about Jackie. However realistic or unrealistic the measured of the ticket prices, it does not change the fact that she IS on the list,
And what a list! Sting, Barry Manilow, David Foster, Elton John, Celine Dion! That is an elite group to be in. Kudos to Pittsburgh's most famous, successful, and talented pre-teen. Joe Merkt Thompsons Station, TN
