The Listening Sessions

The Listening Sessions was the debut concert tour by Ariana Grande in support of her debut studio album, "Yours Truly."

The tour began on August 11, 2013 and concluded September 22, 2013; it showcased all of the material from Grande's debut studio album (with the exception of "Popular Song").

The tour was said to expand after the release of "Yours Truly", but those plans failed to materialize due to Ariana's acting schedule and recording sessions for her second studio album "My Everything."

The tour grossed $679,360 from 11 shows across North America.

Tour Background
On July 15, 2013 (the same day that Ariana's single "Baby, I" was announced), Ariana announced that she would be going on her debut concert tour in August of that year; she said she chose the name "The Listening Sessions" because she would only be playing a handful of small intimate venues and fans would be hearing the music from the album before it was released.

Pre-sale tickets went on sale on Thursday, July 18, 2013 and regular tickets went on sale on Friday, July 19, 2013.

The pre-sale tickets had to be taken down early because they were selling at such a fast rate that the tour was almost sold out before regular tickets were available.
