The past year has rapidly pushed Ed Sheeran into new territory, and the British singer-songwriter is on his way to even bigger ground. Sheeran, along with the help of opening act Christina Perri, will kick off the third and final North American leg of his x Tour tonight at the BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston. It begins the first of 15 final stops in the U.S. and Canada through the end of the month, and tickets for Ed Sheeran are the most expensive ever, according to TiqIQ. The set list for the tour has also been announced.

The average price for an Ed Sheeran ticket across the secondary market is currently $177, which is about $30 more expensive than his first North American leg of the x Tour, where the average ticket price was $139. Sheeran has been on the road non-stop since the release of his second studio album, x, last June. His current leg will wrap up on September 25 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass, where a secondary ticket is going for an average of $162, with a get-in price of $35.

Currently, Sheeran's most expensive date on the calendar is his September 12 show at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, where the average secondary ticket price is $266, with a get-in price of $101. Conversely, Sheeran's cheapest date is currently his September 17 show at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the average secondary ticket price is $97, with a get-in ticket price of just $29.

Just this month, Sheeran earned himself a spot in the 2016 Guinness World Records book, by setting the record for the longest climb to number one on the U.K. singles chart with "Thinking Out Loud," which took 19 weeks to reach the top. In 2014, x gained recognition when it became Spotify's most-streamed album in the world, racking up more than 430 million streams. This past February, the album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year at the 57th Grammy Awards.
