Sure, billion gross and 300 sell outs why not? Every show is 100% sold out and the world can't get enough of them Me? I like to see with my own eyes. If Ticketmaster shows lots of blue dots and I attend the show and see lots of empty seats in sections that are in use I know it's not sold out. I therefore know if Billboard reports it as sold out then it is a LIE and that is my point. These figures are not accurate Adelaide and Sydney sold out apparently.. the attendance of the 3 shows combined possibly achieved as little as 50% of total capacity but SOLD OUT to all you billboard believers ? So which 3 shows exactly are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it was walkups or last minute online sales but it was packed. Most of the shows seemed to be that way. They did lower some prices the week of the shows, so that probably helped sales.

scooby845 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It seems that the numbers are updated...It is No 5 now. But I still think the numbers from Japan and Thailand are not counted.. if that's true , that's additional 20 mil.

U2 - 2.Coldplay - 3 Stones - 4 GNR After all is said and done - keep in mind that GNR is the only band with only one european leg - their biggest market with only 19 dates. If they did another 25 next year - it would gross around 200mil and thus would trail u2 by a mere 50 mil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit optimistic, $8 million on average per show? More realistic would be about $125-150 million with 25 shows. As for the end of the year, it'll be close between Coldplay and the Stones for 2nd place, remember that Coldplay has a few arena shows among the unaccounted ones. GN'R will be 4th as you said.

Second best after u2... 100 sold out! Insane! Another plus for coldplay is that they have the least shows after u2. Plus for GNR is that they do not have 2 euro legs or NITL would be a lot more successful instead of stupid 3rd US leg.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Wish they did a 2nd Europe and Asian leg - they can't let Coldplay take the #2 spot. It would be like 1991 again with U2 and GnR as the biggest bands in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow burner so far with gross per night quite low but all the big shows to come. He's sold over 2M tickets in Uk and Aus alone next year and the tour wil run to 2019 If Taylor Swift decides to do a world tour and not a US tour with a handful of dates overseas then no doubt she can push #2 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliehoodger Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Even thought the festival shows in 2018 are part of NITL does that revenue count towardsthe tour gross? How does that work...if so and look8ng at the current wikipedia numbers where they are at $430 I think they will surely beat Acdc's $441 but they might be right under Waters but still fucking awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I fully back them. Drive this tour into the ground, make it the longest and most successful tour ever...then we can say we were all apart of it and it makes up for the very lengthy hiatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
