Ed Sheeran‘s two sold-out shows at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai last month became the top-selling concerts in United Arab Emirates history, according to All Things Live Middle East CEO Thomas Ovesen, who co-promoted the show alongside AEG Presents. The capacity was 30,000 per show, with both evenings selling out. On his last visit to Dubai in 2017, Sheeran sold 23,272 tickets at The Autism Rocks Arena for a $2,783,800 gross, reports the Pollstar Boxoffice. Previous concerts promoted by Ovesen at Sevens Stadium range from One Direction in 2015 (29,300 tickets sold, $4,263,314 grossed) to Justin Bieber in 2013 (28,544 tickets, $7,773,419 grossed, across two shows).
