Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour By The Numbers

Now that Jay-Z’s BP3 tour is all wrapped up, Billboard Boxscore reports that within a two week span (March 11-24) Jigga’s traveling circus pulled in $9,731,218. The second tour to promote the album included Jeezy and Trey Songz, kicked off last February and made eight of the top 35 shows this year. That’s big business.

    Jay-Z has never fallen off. This guy just doesn’t quit.
    Clap for him!!!!!

  3. King JuggaNott says:

    Damn. Hard work pays off.

  4. RAY says:

    All that money went to live nation. Jay-z make a salary from them $15 million a year work or not. he has a 360 deal with them for th enext 10 years. The tour did very well and live nation is starting to recoup there $150 million dollar investment. They have a lot more record selling and touring to do before they break even.

    PSYCHO – lol at you thinking Jay splits money evenly with two guys who are opening up for him. Use some logic dude.It’s the Blueprint 3 tour, not the Trey Songz or Jeezy tour.

    RAY – Live Nation splits profit with Jay-z, they don’t recoup everything.

    HOV THE G.O.A.T
    BP3 TOUR WAS HUGE BOTH THE FIRST LEG WITH J.COLE AND WALE AND THE SECOND LEG WITH TREY SONGZ AND JEEZY THATS HUGE.
    NOW HE IS EMBARKING ON A WORLD TOUR NEXT AND ALL THE FESTIVALS HE IS HEADLINING THIS YEAR.
    HARD WORK PAYS OFF AND HOV IS JUST KILLING THEM RAPPERS SELLING CLUBS IN EUROPE.

    I’M ABOUT A DOLLAR WHAT THE FUCK IS 50 CENT. LOL
    HOV THE BEST

  12. herbsaac says:

    Sorry folks but an Eminem tour would kill this shit.. Seriously.. Relapse > Blue print 3such a lame pop sell out cd) I mean its cool to sell out no real problems with it.. But i dont like that Jay-z is now known as “Lay-Z” in my mind because thats what his flow is.. Lazy.. He doesnt have the hustle or grind in him anymore when it comes to his own cds.. Granted he kills Remixes of other peoples shit..(Put on is an example) but his own songs are starting to smell like dorm bathrooms.. Horrible.. Eminem would do double probably triple the numbers that Jay has done.. SO this really is nothing.. But Big UPs to Jay-z for selling out and having metiocre tour numbers.. The rap game is all about eminem.. just like it has been for the past 9 years.. (even for the four eminem wasn’t apart of)

  13. LOL says:

    ^ Lol wrote a whole paragraph

  16. mike says:

    jayz doesn’t take money on the tour probably
    because thus who the fuck live nation recoupe doe
    150 millie was the deal to promote concerts and albums!
    so jigga is already paid. now live nation takes his money back…
    jayz got a job from live nation. jayz makes $ from roc nation in the futur

  17. YOUAJOKE says:

    NUMBERS DONT LIE SO 50 IS BETTER THEN JAY? YOU NIGGAS NEED TO QUIT SAYIN JAY THE GREATEST CAUSE HE NEVER GOIN TO BE BETTER THEN BIGGIE, NAS, PAC, EM, PUN… HELL I COULD GO ON FOR A WHILE…

  26. John says:

    Its no Biggie, im juss the king now….-Hova

  27. Oj Da Cornball says:

    ^^^ so was Lil Wayne the greatest when he grossed 42 mil over this 9 mil?

  28. SLOW YOUR ROLL, KNOW YOUR ROLE says:

    @ OJ 1 album deal w/ atlantic paid $5mil 2 get his last album off def jam. Deal was for $150 mil, but he keeps masters n 50/50 split on everything else. LiveNation gave Jay the $$$$ to be a 50/50 partner. He’s raping record labels 4 wat they did 2 the Cold Crush!!!!

  37. herbsaac says:

    @fatboy.. No.. Just the Up in smoke tour in 2001.. 16 years old.. so dope.. been a fan ever since.. He was was better live than dre snoop anyboyd.. plus luda and nelly when they came to elliot hall of music at purdue.. both suck live.. Eminem and Hov are consistent on the mic live.. They dont just scream they keep their live songs sounding as close to CD as they can..

  38. blaqscorpio says:

    Basically 10 mil on two weeks! Where they do that at?!

    JIGGA! LOL

  39. coffee.black says:

    fucking love it.

  40. Cola says:

    @RAY Roc Nation has artist development, publishing (songwriter & production) and management arms. Bp3 sold 2.5 million worldwide. The revenue split between Jay & Live Nation is no less than 60-40 (60 to Jay) I project. No one is any genre has pulled off such a innovative deal.Come on son……Salute the homie!

  41. Cola says:

    @OJ Da Cornball Roc Nation has a distribution with Sony/Columbia. Jay is just such as boss he decided to allow Atlantic (where Lyor and Kevin Liles is at) the favor of marketing and distributing his final Def Jam album! The loser in all of this is L.A. Reid and Def Jam……..

  42. Ac@pella! says:

    Glad I was able to attend both legs of the tour here in Detroit. Classic. Clap 4 Jay ya’ll.

    ^
    Live Nation iz the label, like DefJam was the label for jayz back then !!!
    (live nation iz concerts, albums and marketing products. a 360 deal)
    ATLANTIC is the records distribution for BP3 albums in stores!!
    the next albums will be on SONY records !

  44. Will says:

    in 360 deals all of your tour money dont go to the label just some its just like another expense if they was getting the full tour money then that shit would be robbery Niggas wouldnt even acknowledge these deals if that was the case more and more people are signing these type of contracts so I doubt they get all of your touring profits

  45. THETRUTH says:

    YOU LITTLE POP NIGGAS NEED TO JUMP OFF JAYS DICK. HE AINT THE GREATEST AND HE WONT EVER BE…. BP3 WAS TERRIBLE POP TRASH AND HE AINT PUT OUT A GOOD ALBUM SINCE LIKE 03. YOU NIGGAS JUST AS CORNY AS JAY THE WAY HE GOT HIS DICK IN YO MOUTH.

    LIKE PAC SAID… JAY JUST ANOTHER GAY RAPPER

  46. 106 says:

    Wow so much hate about a Hip Hop tour??? Don’t bring up em because he dont want it as bad as Jay does he simply cant handle the fame. The real story to me is that U2 and Madonna and other genre’sof music make Hip Hop tours look like kid shit. U2 Paul McCartney Madonna all these old fucks are killing the tour revenues. Jay is the closest thing we got to opening those doors cause truth be told he gonnabe touring for years to come get used to it haters.

    @ thetruth sick of dumbo’s like you saying BP3 was Pop and he aint put out a hot album since “03. You didn’t like AG??? I know the answer you didnt listen. Oh and please name the Pop songs on BP3. ANd Kingdom Come was a good album dont believe the critics they dont know shit listen for yourself. Peace Yall

    50 CENT GETS THE REAL MONEY TOURING WORLDWIDE JAYZ GETS THE ATTENTION LOCALLY HERE IN THE US

  48. CP3 says:

    Damn Shame. 50 will make more (as usual) then Jay this year again without a hot album on his International BISD tour. There’s a bigger world out there people. F these fickle ass US fans.

  49. OK says:

    50 cents make more money than Jay-Z please. You 50 fans need to stop repeating everything he says he WAS hot for a minute but that’s over NOBODY is checking for 50 ANYWHERE. Last time we saw footage of 50 performing over seas it was in a CLUB LOL and in the same video he was saying Jay-Z ain’t international Clown Ass. Last time Jay-Z was performing over seas he was HEADLINING festivals of 50,000+ people including the biggest one of all Glastonbury Remember that first hiphop act to ever headline. If 50 was so international why didn’t they get him to do it. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!
