Background

On March 14, 2024, Trainor announced a 24-date North American tour, titled The Timeless Tour. The Timeless Tour was Trainor's fourth concert tour, and followed her third tour, The Untouchable Tour, which she embarked on in 2016, in support of her sophomore studio album Thank You . This marked Trainor's tour return after eight years of absence. [5] [6] Following the tour announcement, there was an artist presale on March 19, 2024, with the general sale following three days later. [5]

Ticket sales for the tour were handled through ticketing agencies such as Ticketmaster, with secondhand sales through sites such as StubHub and SeatGeek. [7] Pollstar estimates the Timeless Tour was 98% sold out, with 259,663 tickets being sold as Trainor's best-selling tour. [1] [2] This revenue is 91% higher with a 50% increase in ticket sales when compared to The Untouchable Tour. [2]

The Timeless Tour was largely performed in outdoor amphitheaters rather than in large indoor stadiums. Despite this, Trainor performed at several stadiums including Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, and Allstate Arena. Additionally, concerts were performed with recorded tracks rather than a live band in order to afford live dancers. [1]
