It’s no secret that the rollout of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s joint album, Vultures 1, was major. After months of delays and teasing, the duo unleashed the album in full earlier this month. The release came just after their short-notice listening party in Ye’s hometown of Chicago.
Following the release, they went on to host listening events in New York, Miami, and more. The pair even hosted various subsequent events in Europe, reportedly selling out arenas in Bologna, Milan, and Paris. Of course, this is bound to raise questions about how much dough they managed to rake in through the events. According to Billboard‘s recent estimates, the number is pretty impressive.

Vultures 1 Listening Parties Reportedly Grossed Over $12 Million
The outlet reports that Ye and Ty’s listening parties in New York and Chicago each brought in about $2.4 million in ticket sales. Sales figures for the European events were unavailable at the time of writing, but tickets were going for similar prices overseas as they were in the U.S., between $140-$220. As all shows are believed to have sold out, this brings the gross total to more than a whopping $12 million.
It doesn’t look like Ye and Ty Dolla Sign plan on slowing down anytime soon, either. Rumors that Ye will embark on a world tour sometime in the near future are brewing, and the second installment of Vultures is only days away. Vultures 2 is currently expected to drop on March 8 of this year. This will later be followed by the release of the project’s third installment, presumably dubbed Vultures 3, on April 5. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures 1 listening parties bringing in an estimated total of over $12 million? Are you surprised?
