They still give a shit about him. Unfortunately, it looks like we're the last holdouts for GNR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juicyswoos Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 POLLSTARS of the WebWeekly chart showing the Internet's most popular tour itineraries as measured by fan requests on Pollstar's popular music fan site, Pollstar.com."This chart has nothing to do with ticket sales. Its a nice little nicey thing, but lets not get to excited about this chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMac Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 (edited) That list is complete BS... Kenny Chesney had the highest grossing tour of the year and Rascal Flatts came in at a close second. Does this list only count rock shows?Edit: my bad, this was from memory, the rolling stones had the highest grossing tour.

Does this list only count rock shows?I don't think it has anything to do with ticket sales, but rather how many times a tour schedule is searched on pollstar.com. Someone should search for GNR on the website 100 times a day, and I bet they take the number 1 spot on tha chart the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 If it's not based on actual ticket sales, then it's meaningless. Real solid information on the ticket sales is hard to get but it worries me when I hear anedotal evidence of tickets being given away free for some shows.
