AC/DC, METALLICA Tickets Rock The Top Events Rankings


According to Petrina Crockford from Ticketnews.com, METALLICA dominates TicketNews' exclusive top events rankings for the week ending September 14, capturing the number one spot in the Top Combined Events rankings and in the Top Concert Events rankings. The band, whose first studio album in five years, Death Magnetic, was released last week, is getting ready to kick off an extensive North American tour in October in Arizona. Fellow rockers AC/DC enter the overall rankings at number eight (power score 1.67) after announcing last week the first leg of its 18-month Black Ice World Tour. The tour is in support of the band's first studio release in eight years, Black Ice.

TicketNews Exclusive Rankings and Power Scores are based on ticket sales from the TicketNetwork Exchange, the world’s largest secondary market exchange. A Power Score illustrates a given event’s category-specific significance. Two factors are used to calculate a power score: total ticket sales from the given event and total ticket sales within the category. As such, power scores should only be used to compare events within a particular category.
