Mumford & Sons saw great success on their prior summer run during Gentlemen of The Road dates, which hit major U.S. cities from June to August along with other big name artists. Those dates averaged $143 on the secondary market, according to data provided by TiqIQ. The band's priciest show was their August 17 stop in Los Angeles, where a resale ticket averaged $186, with the cheapest ticket available for $99. Not a single date on their summer tour fell below the $100 average, as their least expensive date in Mansfield, Massachusetts still had a ticket average of $101.
Based on secondary market tickets, Mumford & Sons are already on their way to another successful tour for 2016. Their most expensive performance is scheduled to be their April 19 stop in Omaha, Nebraska at CenturyLink Center, where an average ticket is already $289, with a get-in price of $88. Their cheapest stop is currently their April 14 date at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, where an average ticket is $151, with the cheapest ticket available for $80. ParkWhiz.com will have available parking for each city the tour arrives, with some arenas such as TWC Arena listing Charlotte parking starting from $5.
Mumford & Sons have yet to slow their momentum since Wilder Minds was released. The album was an instant U.K. No. 1 hit, selling 81,300 in its first week. The band's 2012 release, Babel, was the band's first No. 1 debut and sold just under 159,000 copies.
