<em>
On February 8, the Amway Arena hosted a sold out show of Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band. Buffett claimed the number one spot as the highest grossing show in Amway Arena history, surpassing the 2006 record previously held by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Soul2Soul Tour, which grossed $1,107,425. Jimmy and his band "sailed" to the top spot with $1,405,234 in gross ticket sales, and a total of $183,594 in food and beverage sales.</em>

(thanks to Bill for passing that along)

Ok...I would be interested to know what the average gross is per show is just for merchandise (tshirts, etc)!

Overpricing the tickets is the only reason why he became the leader.
