The top five concert tours ranked by average box- office gross per city. Includes the average ticket price for shows in North America. The previous week’s ranking is in parentheses. The list is based on data provided last week to the trade publication Pollstar by concert promoters and venue managers.

v(1) Bon Jovi: $3,285,413; $97.33.

v(2) James Taylor/ Carole King: $1,466,130; $82.98.

“Lucky” (9 p.m., HBO): “Oh, if I could only hit the lottery, all my problems would be solved.” So many of us have had that dream. But now this entertaining and eye-opening documentary comes along to demonstrate that a major windfall doesn’t always change lives for the better. Director Jeffrey Blitz crisscrossed the country to track down various lottery winners and examine the impact sudden fortune had on them. The lesson? Be careful what you wish for.

“The Client List” (9 p.m., Lifetime): “Ghost Whisperer” may be no more, but Jennifer Love Hewitt is still getting work. In the TV film, “The Client List,” she plays a mother who secretly turns to prostitution to support her family. We’re guessing that complications arise.
