Back to 2021, and the Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer Hella Mega Tour banked $67.3 million, selling 659,062 tickets over a 20-date trek, with an average ticket costing $102.09. Guns N' Roses placed at number seven on the list, pulling $47.3 million for the year, selling 351,339 tickets over 23 shows in 21 cities: the average ticket cost here was more expensive, at $134.75. Similar amount of dates and venues for the most part and they sold almost half as many tickets as the GD tour…not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day’s tour seemed to mostly be baseball stadiums. GNR played some of those same places as well. They also played a few smaller venues and arenas too, but they also added in 3-4 huge football stadiums to even out the potential tickets sold. It’s not a perfect apples to apples comparison, but GD’s tour was much more impressive box office wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hmm, I would think there is a decent profit on that and that it validates the touring they did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know what you're saying 3 famous bands co-headline are sure to draw in a big crowd... but GNR with Slash/Axl/Duff are monstrously huge, bigger than those 3 bands together... so while it's an uneven advantage GNR should have equaled or bettered the numbers. Obviously we all know the things they could have done to up those numbers, but they didn't and it's done and dusted so forget about it😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it validates the promoter for giving them their guarantee for this run. GNR got paid whether the shows made $ or not. For LN, it’s surely revenue that they can show to their stock holders. It also sets the bar for what GNR can demand for the next go around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sets the bar for what GNR can demand for the next go around To be more accurate, it likely lowers the bar for what GNR can demand the next go around. They went from being a top 3 tour of all time a few years ago to getting outperformed by GD/Weezer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i have to solve that answer i would say: Izzy, Sorum, private shows for fans, play complete AFD only for fans with the 5 AFD members and finish with a UYI Tour 2023-24-25. Plus new songs (or unreleased UYI leftovers) made by the dream team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went from being a top 3 tour of all time a few years ago to getting outperformed by GD/Weezer. The fee probably stays the same. They’ll move to arenas and count on fans paying more per ticket. When a tour doesn’t make LN $, that’s when the fee goes down. They don’t need sell outs to turn a profit Most bands try not to oversaturate the market so that they keep their booking fee and have success over time. Seems like Guns are gonna keep going until the $ doesn’t make sense to go out any longer Edited December 17, 2021 by guitarpatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
