How do you know these things ?

These figures are available to industry insiders, and also to paid subscribers of Billboard Music Business News (billboard.biz). I know a few people with access, but haven't asked them to look it up lately.

Also notable - the venue size and fees factor in. The Sony Centre was larger than some others I believe, and the ticket prices in Toronto were significantly higher than others, specifically Kitchener - a reflection of the higher venue fees.

If you can,please post further informations on the subject as it becomes available.

I would offer a caveat about such figures as Box Office Grosses: after a bit of clever accounting and after everyone has been paid, it's impossible to discern what's actually left over in Leonard's pocket (I presume that's the reason these were posted, or idle curiosity). Some high-grossing movies can even make a loss 'on paper', if the numbers are fiddled with enough!

I think otherwise - posting these figures is a huge indicator of the scope of Leonard's reach across audiences.

He's broken North American box office records, which is a huge deal - primarily because this is based on a handful of shows in Canada only.

If this tour progresses through the US, we're going to see figures that are astounding.

It's an incredible statement on his talent, and how he's touched so many people. They may just be numbers, but to me they represent so much more.
