According to Billboard.com, by the time Gaga's Monster Ball wraps up touring in the U.S. in September and then in Europe this fall, it will most likely pass the $200 million mark.
Since it kicked off on June 28 in Montreal, the tour has hit nearly every major city in North America including New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Toronto, Dallas, Houston, San Jose, Vancouver, Edmonton and Philadelphia.
In fact, the demand for tickets was so high that Gaga's promoter, Live Nation, says the tour will head back to the States for another round in Spring of 2011. 10 arena dates have been confirmed, starting with Atlantic City on February 19.
