<p id=”par-2_51″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/harry-styles-prepared-new-album-listening-nothing-but-classical-music.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The global superstar</a> has already seen huge demand for tickets, with his U.S. dates at Madison Square Garden helping cement his position among music’s biggest commercial draws. According to an expert, Styles is now in the same commercial league as <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-swifts-fans-pay-25-pieces-of-garbage-picked-up-madison-square-garden.html/”>Taylor Swift</a>, meaning his eventual personal payday could approach nine figures.</p>

<p id=”par-4_62″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.covers.com/entertainment” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Covers</a>, Cornelius told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “When you look at the sheer scale of Harry’s demand, with records being broken for his London and New York dates, he is now operating in the same kind of commercial territory as artists such as Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny, and that level of demand could make this tour incredibly lucrative.</p>
<p id=”par-5_65″>“The amount Harry earns from his Together, Together tour is far beyond the millions generated from ticket sales alone. The biggest driver in revenue will likely be merchandise, with hundreds of thousands of T-shirts, tote bags, and more being sold to fans wanting to take a piece of the tour home with them. But the earning potential doesn’t necessarily stop when Harry leaves the stage.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_60″>The expert explained, “If he follows in the footsteps of Taylor Swift and turns the tour into a cinematic experience, that could open up another major revenue stream while allowing fans to relive the tour long after the final date. We are increasingly seeing artists use concert films as a way of maximizing the commercial life of a tour. </p>

<p id=”par-7_68″>“Taylor Swift demonstrated just how lucrative this can be with The Eras Tour, while artists such as Beyoncé and Oasis have previously shown the huge appetite there is for bringing a major live music experience to cinemas. Taking ticket sales, merchandise, potential cinema revenue and other commercial opportunities into account, I wouldn’t be surprised if the overall revenue generated by Harry’s tour eventually reaches the hundreds of millions.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_77″>Cornelius added, “Of course, that doesn’t mean Harry will personally pocket hundreds of millions. The costs of putting on a tour of this scale are enormous, and he will have to pay his crew, production teams, venues, management, agents, and a whole host of other fees before calculating his final profit. However, I would be very surprised if Harry doesn’t walk away with a close to nine-figure payday for himself, earning around the $135 million mark. </p>
<p id=”par-9_54″>“With the extraordinary demand for his shows, the mountains of merchandise he has sold, and the potential and the opportunity to extend the life of the tour through a cinema release, there are multiple ways for him to turn this into an enormous money-making machine, and make this potentially his highest-earning tour to date.”</p>
