Observations
Across the reported dates, several consistent trends emerge: arena dates and larger venues generally produced higher grosses, while smaller clubs and theaters often reached sell-out status despite lower total gross. Touring productions tied to television properties remain a viable draw, with many engagements achieving strong attendance percentages. The mixed performance of The Sing-Off Live Tour illustrates the variance possible when a show visits different regional markets and venue sizes.
