Ed Sheeran's Australian & New Zealand Tour Just Cracked One Million Ticket Sales

Just make him Prime Minister already.

More Ed Sheeran Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran’s mind-bogglingly massive Australian and New Zealand tour just hit another milestone having officially sold one million tickets.

Sheeran broke a 32-year-old record, stealing the title of most tickets sold on one Aus/NZ tour from Dire Straits’ 1986 tour which saw 950,000 tickets sold.

"Frontier has toured some of the biggest names in music, including Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones, but I’ve never seen a tour like Ed’s. To sell one million tickets is simply phenomenal," head of Frontier Touring Michael Gudinski said.

Not content with just breaking the 1 million mark, Sheeran also takes home the prize for the biggest stadium tour of Australia and New Zealand, the venue record for most number of shows on one tour, venue record for highest cumulative attendance on one tour and venue record for highest attendance for a single show.

Ed Sheeran’s Australian tour kicks off tomorrow in Perth; for more information, head to theGuide.
