Mega Star Tarkan, who reunited with his fans in Istanbul after a long time, is being widely discussed not only for energizing art lovers and the tabloid agenda with his concert series but also for the income he will generate.
The earnings claims that emerged during the concert series, where all tickets sold out in a short time and the venues were completely full, drew attention, especially in economic and tabloid circles.
According to the claims, Tarkan is charging a fee of 500 thousand dollars for each of his eight concerts in Istanbul. This striking claim was recently brought to the agenda on a YouTube program.
It is stated that the Mega Star has completed three of the concerts held throughout January 2026 and will continue to meet with his fans in the coming days on January 24, 27, 30, and 31.
It is projected that Tarkan will earn 4 million dollars (approximately 173 million 500 thousand TL) at the end of the total of eight concerts planned for different evenings. This figure is also accepted as an indicator of a new benchmark in the art world. Tarkan hosting the famous comedian Cem Yılmaz as a surprise guest on one of his nights on stage was also one of the highlights of the series. Tarkan's Istanbul marathon, which has received praise for his stage performance and surprises, seems set to remain on the agenda of both art lovers and the music industry.
