Most entertainers gain most of their revenue from records sales and touring. Not only does touring allow the artist to see the world, but they get a chance to connect with their fans and prove the critics wrong. Super entertainer Britney Spears knows how to tour. Since her pop debut in 1999, the first
Britney Spears tour took place in 1999 to 56 cities in North America.
With an abundance of airplay for her latest single "Womanizer" from her sixth studio album Circus, a Britney Spears tour would make sense to be next in line. In fact, it begins March 2009. A Britney Spears tour can rake in millions for the 27-year-old star. With her father managing her finances, those millions can come in handy after spending so much on shopping sprees and legal fees.
Hit Us 'One More Time'
It's hard to imagine that the so-called 'innocent' Britney Spears began her career in 1998 with her single "Baby One More Time" clad in a controversial schoolgirl outfit. Prior to her debut, she was singing in church revues and in her choir. In 1999 she graced (or disgraced) Rolling Stone with a cover photo of the young star in a bra and boy shorts. How soon they grow up! Fast forward several years and you will see that a Britney Spears tour can command millions in ticket sales and merchandise. Merchandise on a Britney Spears tour can run the average teenage fan hundreds of dollars.
The Britney Spears tour circuit has made millions for the pop singer, but her endorsements have also added to her increasing bank account. Britney Spears signed a multi-million dollar promotional contract with Pepsi in 2001 and created her first perfume called "Curious" in 2004 with the help of Elizabeth Arden. Just weeks after its release, the scent earned $100 million in sales. Piggybacking on the 2004 success, a second perfume called "Fantasy" in 2005 with similar sales grossed. Her 2006 releases of "Curious: In Control" and "Midnight Fantasy" as well as "Curious Heart" in January 2008 skyrocketed her sales beyond imagination. Despite the perfume endorsements, the success of her Britney Spears tour is what generates millions for the pop singer. Along with her Britney Spears tour, she has published four books and created a video game and a doll. She has amassed over $350 million in Britney Spears tour sales and over $185 million in merchandise for her
Britney Spears tour sales.
With the average Britney Spears tour fan 16 to 24 years old, you would be smart to bring a little extra cash when going to a Britney Spears tour. Although great tickets to a Britney Spears tour will set parents back a bit, the Britney Spears tour memorabilia, including CDs, posters, t-shirts, key chains, programs and collectible jackets, can average over $100,000 a night in gross sales.
When the Britney Spears tour was not in production, she was making television sitcom debuts and starring in reality television specials. In 2004 Britney Spears and Kevin Federline starred in
Britney & Kevin: Chaotic, a reality show. She made a guest appearance on
Will & Grace in 2006 and on
How I Met Your Mother in 2008. With another Britney Spears tour coming together again, she will have to prove to her fans that her meltdown is over and she's back.
