Written by . Published: August 30 2014
One Direction have become the first act to break through the $200 million mark for concert ticket sales this year (14).
The boy band's Where We Are world tour tops Billboard's Hot Tours list thanks to $130 million in revenue from a 10-week summer trek in Europe and North America. Ticket sales from the 2014 tour now total $230 million from more than 53 sold out concerts in six countries.
The Best Song Ever hitmakers will add millions more to that tally
when they perform three sold out shows at the Rose Bowl in
Pasadena, California beginning on 11 September (14).
The tour is set to wrap in Miami, Florida at the beginning of
October (14).
