Nate Bargatze is far more popular than many might think. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the inoffensive standup comedian’s ongoing “Big Dumb Eyes” tour is on pace to sell more tickets than Beyoncé’s highest-grossing tour of 2025.
According to WSJ, Bargatze is on track to move more than 2 million tickets for his North American arena run, which would surpass the 1.6 million that Beyoncé sold for her stadium “Cowboy Carter Tour” last year. (Several acts, including Oasis and Coldplay, actually sold more tickets in 2025 but had a lower average ticket price than Beyoncé’s $255.36.)
