According to Billboard Boxscore figures, Billy Joel at The Garden earned $266.7 million and sold 1.9 million tickets over the course of 104 shows. Joel began his historic residency at Madison Square Garden back in 2014, and other than a break during the pandemic, Joel performed at least one show at MSG every month over the last ten years except for June 2017 and December 2022. Joel’s $266 million total makes his MSG residency the third-highest-grossing concert residency in Billboard Boxscore history.

Celine Dion has the top two residencies of all time, as her 2003-2007 run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas made $385.1 million, while Dion’s 2011-2019 residency pulled in $296.2 million. Billy Joel’s final show in his MSG residency took place on July 25, marking the Piano Man’s 150th total time playing the legendary arena. His historic accomplishment is recognized with a banner hanging from the rafters of MSG that reads, “Billy Joel 150: Most Lifetime Performances By Any Artist.” (Billboard)
