Previously, SoFi Stadium announced that tickets for BTS' four LA concerts were completely sold out, making the K-pop boy group the first act in the stadium's history to sell out four shows.
According to Billboard, the four-night show sold 214,000 tickets and grossed $33.3 million. Those figures make BTS's SoFi Stadium shows the highest-grossing event since venues started re-opening this year.
Moreover, it is the biggest gross for a course of multiple shows at a single venue in nine years since 2012, when Roger Waters gained $38 million over nine concerts at Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Further, Billboard revealed that "BTS Permission to Dance on Stage" scores the largest U.S.-based Boxscore in 18 years, the biggest ever in California, and the second-largest in the 30-year-plus history of Billboard Boxscore in North America, following Bruce Springsteen's run of 10 shows at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford in New Jersey ($38.7 million).
Overall, BTS' four LA concerts at SoFi Stadium recorded the sixth-largest gross in the history of Billboard Boxscore. A "Boxscore" is a report of all shows that an artist holds at one venue during a leg of a tour, or the whole tour.

This achievement is made more impressive considering that BTS did not primarily perform in English as the septet is a Korean boy group after all. Billboard stated that this was a first for a non-English-language act to cross $20 million gross in one marathon, much less $30 million.
Along similar lines, Luis Miguel holds the record for the largest Spanish-language Boxscore, obtaining $19.3 million from 30 shows at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City back in 2006.
