- Pennsylvania ranks 4th out of the remaining 16 destinations on Pink’s tour, amid a surge in Google searches for ‘Pink concert Philadelphia’

A new ranking has revealed which states will struggle the most to secure tickets to Pink’s remaining concerts this year.
Summer might be over but the pop sensation’s Summer Carnival 2023 tour isn’t and fans still have the chance to witness the singer’s iconic music in 16 states.
To help fans decide whether they should stay local or if a trip is needed, JustGamblers ranked these states in order of how likely people will be able to score tickets.
The ranking is based on an original list of every state, which scored them out of 40 on ticket likelihood overall.
It took into consideration the number of venues visited across 20 of this year’s biggest tours, average venue capacity, how often an act stops in each state and local ticket demand.
Although no state scored higher than 23, meaning that nowhere can guarantee attendance, some did fare better than others.
Best states for securing concert tickets to Pink’s Summer Carnival 2023 Tour
| State | Likelihood Score | State | Likelihood Score | ||
| 1 | California | 23.3 | 9 | Washington | 14.7 |
| 2 | Florida | 19.5 | 10 | Missouri | 13.4 |
| 3 | Texas | 19.3 | 11 | North Carolina | 13.2 |
| 4 | Pennsylvania | 18 | 12 | Ohio | 13.1 |
| 5 | New York | 16.7 | 13 | Colorado | 12.6 |
| 6 | Tennessee | 16.6 | 14 | Nevada | 11.5 |
| 7 | Georgia | 16 | 15 | Indiana | 10.8 |
| 8 | Arizona | 15.3 | 16 | Kentucky | 10 |
It’s good news for Californians. The Golden State boasts the highest likelihood of securing tickets, so there’s no need for fans residing there to worry about whether they’ll have to travel to see their favorite artist.
Instead, their biggest obstacle is competing with others for a chance to attend, as the average venue capacity is only 30,835 in comparison to the state’s population of 39.2 million.
And with a breakout in Google searches all across the US for ‘Pink tour 2023 California’ over the past 30 days, there will likely be some competition with fans appearing willing to travel to see their idol.
Fans in Pennsylvania will be pleased to know that it ranks in the top 5, as Google searches in the state for ‘Pink concert Philadelphia’ shot up by 900% and ‘Pink concert Philly’ increased by 600%.
Pennsylvania scored 69 out of 100 for interest in Pink, placing it joint ninth – alongside Delaware – out of all the US states.
Top 10 States Interested in Pink
| State | Interest | State | Interest | ||
| 1 | Nebraska | 100 | 6 | Wisconsin | 75 |
| 2 | North Dakota | 87 | 7 | Minnesota | 74 |
| 3 | New Hampshire | 86 | 8 | Nevada | 70 |
| 4 | Massachusetts | 85 | 9 | Pennsylvania | 69 |
| 5 | Rhode Island | 77 | 10 | Delaware | 69 |
Nevada is the only other state in the top 10 to still be a destination in Pink’s tour, and unfortunately, it places in the bottom three in terms of likelihood of tickets.
Fans from there will have to be quick if they want to watch the artist close to home – especially as the state scored 70 out of 100 for ticket demand for Pink.
Alternatively, they can consider planning a trip, as a few hour’s drive to California could significantly increase their chances.
Commenting on the findings, a JustGamblers spokesperson said: “There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the difficulty of securing tickets for fours, especially given complications with platforms like Ticketmaster and the rising prevalence of scalpers.
“However, beyond this, it’s clear that some states are at a greater disadvantage than others based on variables like local competition, venue availability, and how frequently a state hosts a show – and, surprisingly, some states are ignored by artists altogether.
“This research can help fans decide whether they’re better aiming for tickets in their home state, or if they’re best off considering a road trip – and for some, the answer is obvious.”
