Seven months after it started, the 24K Magic World Tour has already earned a massive $129 million (and still counting) on ticket sales.

Almost a year ago, singer-songwriter Bruno Mars announced the 24K Magic World Tour which kicked off in Belgium last March 2017. Going through 34 cities in the European tour from March 28 to June 15, the tour had a one-month break before resuming on July 15 at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas. Former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello performed as the opening act for the "Versace on the Floor" singer during the entire North American leg of the tour which ran from July 20 to Aug. 22.

By Oct. 10, and through a performance at Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, 24K Magic World Tour has already sold a total of 659,190 tickets from 42 concerts in 32 cities, producing the $76 million North American gross.

The world tour success of Mars can be owed to the international triumph of his hit songs "Versace on the Floor," "That's What I Like," and the album-title song "24K Magic" which were all released in 2016, this only shows that the "Hooligans" are taking it seriously in supporting their favorite musician.

Back in July, it was confirmed that Mars is going back to Asia, with it being the last leg, to also give them the 24K Magic World Tour feels starting after Oceania next year.

The tour sets in a total of 163 cities (46 in Europe, 75 in North America, 10 in Latin America, 18 in Oceania and 14 in Asia), with a full total of 90 shows and will wrap up on July 2018.

The 24K Magic World Tour is his first full-length tour since 2013. His last tour, the equally successful Moonshine Jungle World Tour, sold two million tickets worldwide across 155 sold-out dates.
