4) 2/7/14 - Jason Aldean & Florida Georgia Line | Copps Coliseum, Ontario, Canada | Avg. Price: $283 | Get-in Price: $83
Jason Aldean is on the biggest country music tour outside of Strait and the 10% price increase over the week helps prove it.

5) 2/8/14 - Elton John | Copps Coliseum, Ontario, Canada | Avg. Price: $283 | Get-in Price: $77
On the next night in the same venue, Elton John will be playing with tickets at the same average price of Aldean. The price for Elton John tickets, though, have dropped 26% over the past week, which also leads to the low get-in price compared to the average. Elton John is still sure to put on a great show on Saturday night and the tickets could continue to drop before the show date.
These are some of the biggest names in music and the high ticket prices for each concert show how big each of these tours have been and will continue to be. These top concerts are sure to be great shows and could give fans a good chance to see their favorite artists live.
