After reigning supreme as the top selling summer artist on StubHub in terms of sales volume, Taylor does it again. The artist has the highest selling ticket on StubHub at $13,520 for her concert at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on October 17. On average, Swift’s tickets go for $141 on the site.

2. AC/DC

Rock veterans AC/DC are still filling up stadiums at number two. Their “Rock or Bust World Tour” is winding down in North America. The band commands an average of $158 per ticket on StubHub.

2014’s second hottest tour is now the best deal this year. His average concert ticket price is $68 with the low at $13.64 and the high at $3,225.

It’s been a big year for the country superstar with his “Comeback” tour after announcing his return to music nearly a year ago. Brooks’ wife Trisha Yearwood joins him on stage as his special guest. Tickets are set at $74.98 but go for an average of $140 on the secondary market.

8. One Direction

After being the top selling 2014 fall artist, One Direction now ranks eighth. The recent announcement of a post-tour ‘break’ may have contributed to the drop. But the boy band still commands the highest price per ticket of the season at $15,084.
