In 2018, Forbes listed Travis Scott in its "30 under 30" list of influential people in the music industry. At the time, Scott reportedly earned over $100,000 for each stop on his tour. Scott continued to dominate the airwaves and as of 2020, Forbes estimated his singles alone raked in $100 million. This all on top of his multi-platinum album "Astroworld" and the accompanying tour, which became "the top-grossing rap tour in 2019." That year, Scott took home an estimated $15.5 million with $9.6 million of that total coming just from his tour, per Billboard. Then, in 2020, Billboard ranked Travis Scott as the 35th highest paid musician in the United States for 2020. He reportedly earned $5.82 million in the year in a combination of revenue from fans streaming his music, sales, and publishing.
In 2021, Scott held his third Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. As recapped by The Sun, general admission tickets cost over $400 including a concert fee, VIP tickets cost nearly $800, and deluxe VIP tickets went for over $1,000. Both VIP options reportedly sold out and over 50,000 people were in the crowd on the fateful night. As a result, anyone who purchased a ticket received a full refund.
