Taylor Swifthas one of the highest average ticket prices over the past five years . . . $239.  She’s second only to U2, at $272.  But she’s not even in the Top 10 if you’re calculating it BY THE MINUTE.

A new study analyzed touring data from 200 of the most popular acts, and compared their average ticket prices to the average lengths of their shows.

And it turns out Bruno Mars is the costliest artist, at $2.19 per minute.  Here’s the Top 10 . . .

1.  Bruno Mars,  $2.19 per minute.

2.  U2,  $2.12 per minute.

3.  Drake,  $1.81 per minute.

4.  The Rolling Stones,  $1.78 per minute.

5.  George Strait,  $1.77 per minute.

6.  Eagles,  $1.74 per minute.

7.  Blink-182,  $1.53 per minute.

8.  (TIE)  Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Morgan Wallen,  $1.39

The reason Taylor isn’t high on the list is because, even though her tickets are pricey, you get A LOT of Taylor for your buck.

Her concerts average 3 hours and 21 minutes . . . more than anyone else in the study.

She’s followed by Dead & Company at 3 hours and 14 minutes, and Guns N’ Roses at 3 hours and 2 minutes.
