Metro Boomin and Future have sold 177,318 tickets for their North American tour, which went on sale Friday. The sales figures have been met with criticism from Drake fans, who have pointed to Drake’s recent tour success as a comparison.
Drake’s tour, which wrapped up last month, sold over 830,000 tickets and brought in over $200 million in revenue. Metro and Future’s tour sales, which represent 43.13% of tickets sold, have been seen as lagging behind Drake’s massive success.
However, defenders of Metro and Future have argued that the tour has only been on sale for a couple of days and that the sales figures are still promising. They have also pointed out that the tour is a non-pop hip-hop tour, which typically sells fewer tickets than pop tours.
Metro and Future have been feuding with Drake since the release of their first collaborative album, ‘What a Time to Be Alive,’ last month. Across their two albums together, they have hosted several artists to diss the Toronto rapper. It remains to be seen how the sales of their tour will compare to Drake’s in the long run.
