Rolling Stones top U2 - top grossing tour

[wbarenno]

The arguments are invalid.

Clearly some of you are huge U2 fans and think they are bigger than Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Queen, etc, no matter what anyone says.

It's not an arguement or debate mate it's a fact Bon jovi arent as big as u2 never was never will be that's not opinion that's fact!

I like u2 more then the beatles (who I love aswell) but the beatles are in a league of their own nobody will ever be more inspiring or bigger then the beatles. My point is I like u2 more but the beatles are bigger that's fact not opinion

Only the brave still book stadium tour dates - USA Today :

(...) U2's all-stadium 360 tour is on its way to being the biggest ticket-selling and top-grossing tour of all time. By the time it wraps up July 30 in Moncton, New Brunswick, the tour will have sold 7.1 million tickets and grossed $717 million for 110 shows in 30 countries. This summer's North American leg includes 16 dates rescheduled from 2010 while Bono recuperated from back surgery. (...)

Edge: Tour Probably Ending in July, U2 Album After That
Posted: March 25, 2011
By: Liseth Meijer / Matt McGee

In a short interview broadcast today on Irish radio station Phantom, Edge talked about the band's plans for a new album, the rest of the 360 tour, and more -- and U2 fans probably won't be too thrilled with what he had to say.
Edge on the U2 360 Tour's Future

Although rumors have been circulating of new dates in Europe later this year, Edge said he thinks that's probably not gonna happen.

"I think we're probably gonna pack up the U2 claw after the American shows. I doubt if -- but you can never say never. But right now, if you wanted my opinion, I'd say that that will be the end."

Edge on U2's Next Album

The different projects the band is working on are all still alive, and the band isn't ready yet to commit to one particular direction. They'll probably decide on what kind of album to make and resume working on new material after the tour concludes.

"Bono's been talking about different projects and they're all still kind of alive. We're not ready to commit to one particular direction, but we've so much new material. And when the dust settles and we're off the road, I think we're gonna give ourselves a couple weeks and sit back and figure it all out and decide which way we're gonna go." Later he adds, "We're enjoying that moment where things haven't fully come into focus and we could take it in a number of different directions."

Edge also mentioned the band will probably change the set list a bit for their performance in Glastonbury and have "a few little extras, but nothing like the 360 stage."

Edge taped the interview last week while he was still in New York City. You can listen yourself on Phantom.ie's website.

Looks like the tours not going to hit 800 million , Hopefully now it will just break through the 700 million bracket.

79,000 people at the Chile concert per the above article. Show should bring in roughly $8 million. As huge of a number as that is, I expected something un the upper 80's. Might still be because this article is not fact by any means but we'll see once the boxscore is released.

[spooky]

It's because seating capacity at Estadio Nacional has been reduced since U2's last visit in Santiago.

That would explain it, thanks. Also, it will be cool to compare the SA boxscores with Bon Jovi's last visit. In Chile, they played to 46,983 people and grossed $3,689,208. U2 may double up on them.

Also, while not at the same stadium (Club Hipico) Metallica played Chile last year to 49,117 with a gross of $3,659,097.

Others say 40,000 which seems a bit low...

[IceAngel]

Others say 40,000 which seems a bit low...

The stadium has a seating capacity of 53,000.

Figures closer to 60,000 make more sense. I believe all three dates are sold out so 40,000 seems too low.

Just think of what U2 could add to their totals if they soaked up what remains of demand after July 30 with an arena tour for North America and Europe in the fall of 2011!

That won't happen though because U2 is restricting themselves to the THEME of the 360 tour which is ONLY STADIUMS in 360 configeration.

U2 to Snatch 'Biggest Tour Ever' Title This Weekend

by Ray Waddell | Billboard.com avril 08, 2011



When the doors open Sunday night for U2's second show at Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the band's 360 tour will become the highest grossing tour in history.

In Sao Paulo, U2 360 will pass the $558 million gross mark set by the Rolling Stones for their A Bigger Bang tour of 2005-2007. U2 will go on to shatter the record at about $700 million by the time it wraps in North America July 30 at Magnetic Hill in Moncton, N.B., and when all the numbers come in be recorded in Billboard Boxscore as the biggest trek ever. The tour returns to North America May 21 in Denver.

360 will also have moved more than 7 million tickets to 110 shows, enough to capture the "highest attended tour ever" mantle, as well. The Stones are also the band to vacate that title, as their Voodoo Lounge tour of 1994-1995 had held the attendance record at 6.4 million tickets, according to Boxscore.

[ShaneO]

It has taken 5 years but after the U2 360 concert tonight in Brazil, it will be time to rename this thread as U2 will have topped (unofficially) the Rolling Stones as the highest grossing tour of all time!

I wish U2 would hit the UK market again and Asia as there is clearly demand for them and that would have pushed them well past the $800 million total tour gross mark but perhaps next time.

[GUS argentino78]

It is so cool they are Number One! I went to the concert in 0buenos Aires and it was awesome. According to the media between the 3 shows their assistance was around 150K people

Judging by the videos I have seen on YouTube, Argentina has amazing fans!!!

U2 Sets Record For Highest-
Grossing Tour

When the doors opened last night (April 10) for
U2's second show at Morumbi Stadium in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, the band's "360" tour became the highest
grossing tour in history.
In Sao Paulo, U2 "360" passed the $558 million
gross mark set by the Rolling Stones for their "Bigger
Bang" tour of 2005-2007. And by the time it
wraps in North America on July 30 at Magnetic Hill
in Moncton, N.B., U2 will have shattered the record
at about $700 million -- and when all the numbers
come in be recorded in Billboard Boxscore as the
biggest trek ever. (The tour returns to North America
May 21 in Denver.)
"360" will also have moved more than 7 million
tickets to 110 shows, enough to capture the "highest
attended tour ever" mantle, as well. The Stones
are also the band to vacate that title, as their "Voodoo
Lounge" tour of 1994-1995 had held the attendance
record at 6.4 million tickets, according to Boxscore.
Owning the "biggest tour ever" record is "something
we're very proud of having set," band manager
Paul McGuinness tells Billboard.biz. "And to
set it with a further 20-plus shows to go on the tour
is kind of mind-blowing. It means that it's a record
that will probably never be outstripped."

Regarding U2 capturing the hard-won Stones
records, Michael Cohl, producer of Stones tours
from 1989 through "A Bigger Bang" (and currently
lead producer on "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark"),
called U2 capturing the title "an incredible achievement,
a great group, ['360' is] an amazing tour. Congrats."
Topping all previous tours at the box office is the
culmination of a career effort by a band that built
its foundation around live performance. "We were
always very conscious that we had two parallel careers:
as recording artists and as live performers,
and each was absolutely vitally important," McGuinness
says. "In our own kind of quiet way we were
all somewhat military about it. We would talk about
territories and conquering them, and if there was
somewhere that was slower to come along, we would
go back there and work it again. Bono is kind of a
closet General Patton. So, for us, this is a real victory."
This time around, no areas were slow for U2. On
the average, both gross and attendance are staggering
numbers at about $6.4 million and 63,600 per
show, respectively, surely in itself a record, though
as-of-yet unquantified by Boxscore.

For tour producer Arthur Fogel, chairman of
Live Nation Global Touring, and his Torontobased
team, there is still work to be done. "It's
great to break the record, but after that there are
still 26 shows left," Fogel says. Even so, breaking
the gross record is "an amazing accomplishment,"
Fogel says. "I don't think the average
person can really relate to the whole thing, it's
hard enough for us to come to terms with it. More
than the dollars, when you think in terms of when
this thing does wrap it will be over 7 million tickets
on 110 shows, it's just mind-blowing on an
average per show."
The success of "360" is more a statement about
the band's global popularity and the unique 360-
degree staging and its resulting capacity increases
of 15%-20% than it is about ticket prices, which
ranged from as low as $30 to a top end of $250.
The attendance mark is "absolutely the bigger accomplishment,"
Fogel says. "There are so many
factors that play into it: the unique nature of the
production, the ticket pricing model, the strategy
of where to play and how many tickets are in
the market," he says. "It all comes in to play, and
when it actually unfolds as you would want it to,
then I guess it's the perfect storm."
Launching the most expensive touring production
in history with huge capacities in an uncertain
global economy was ambitious, to say the
least. Staged as it is, "360" risked looking ridiculous
if it played to half-houses. "It was a bold move
on behalf of everybody, because the reality is, with
this production, you're kind of naked out there,
there's nowhere to hide," Fogel says. "So when
you undertake that kind of production, sightlines
and staging, you better be pretty confident you
can pull it off."
"360" was the first tour under a 10-year multirights
agreement between the band and Live
Nation, and beyond the staging configuration the
tour's "360" banner is a sly reference to that deal,
according to McGuinness, who calls the tour
name "a little private joke to amuse myself at one
point." When it's all said and done, U2 "360" will
have visited more than 30 countries, dating back
nearly two years ago to the opening show in
Barcelona, Spain on June 30, 2009. Sidelined last
summer by back surgery for the band's Bono,
"360" never missed a beat when it resumed. The
tour visited Australia/New Zealand, South Africa,
South America, Europe, North America, and Mexico.
Going forward, there is a new champ in the
Billboard Boxscore records. "Frankly, if anyone
else said it was the biggest tour in history it wouldn't
count," says McGuinness. "You guys are the
journal of record."
Given the unique capacities that the "360" production
allows and the band's massive popularity
all over the world (as well as the uncertainty
of the Rolling Stones' touring future and the fragmented
nature of today's music popularity) this
is a record that will likely stand for many years if
not forever. "This is one of those things that is so
special and unique that, in this form, it probably
only comes around once," says Fogel, who has
now produced four of the top five highest grossing
tours of all time. "And I think that's OK. It
accomplished everything that everyone set out to
accomplish, and I think that's the way it should
end."

[ShaneO]

It's because seating capacity at Estadio Nacional has been reduced since U2's last visit in Santiago.

That would explain it, thanks. Also, it will be cool to compare the SA boxscores with Bon Jovi's last visit. In Chile, they played to 46,983 people and grossed $3,689,208. U2 may double up on them.

Also, while not at the same stadium (Club Hipico) Metallica played Chile last year to 49,117 with a gross of $3,659,097.

Lets compare Brazil 2008/2009/2010:

Artist Location Attendance Gross
Rush Morumbi Stadium 26,015 $3,295,393
Beyonce Morumbi Stadium 52,757 $4,286,984
The Black Eyed Peas Morumbi Stadium 56,329 $4,347,795
AC/DC Morumbi Stadium 65,311 $6,928,700
Metallica Morumbi Stadium 84,435(2x) $8,617,636
Bon Jovi Morumbi Stadium 55,833 $9,924,191
Madonna Morumbi Stadium 196,656 (3x) $16,036,336
U2 Morumbi Stadium 269,491( 3x) $32,754,065


I guess you can say U2 is pretty big in Brazi considering they pretty much equal the gross of three Madonna shows, 1 Bon Jovi show and 2 Metallica shows. It should be noted that Madonna did play 2 other shows in Brazil, that grossed $7 million and played to 107k people. U2 still beat her gross but she is also a huge draw in Brazil.

[Mulvanaghty]

You guys must be smarter than this. Let's go over this ONE MORE TIME:

Have U2 sold more albums worldwide than The Rolling Stones? NO.

Have U2 sold more singles worldwide than The Rolling Stones? NO.

Are U2 a larger draw than The Rolling Stones worldwide? NO.

CASE CLOSED.

Well, you last stated that the Rolling Stones next tour would gross $850 million and Madonna's next tour would gross $900 million. Are you still sticking to those numbers?

I ask because Madonna's next tour starts tomorrow, and recent reports show that demand is down from the Sticky And Sweet tour. Lots of markets where Madonna played two stadium shows on the Sticky And Sweet Tour have only been able to support one on this new "MDNA" Tour. Tour Promoter Arthur Fogal says the tour will be one of the ten highest grossing ever, but you only need to hit the $300 million dollar mark in gross to do that. All indications are that she will fall short of her Sticky And Sweet total which was $407 million.

So would you at least admit that your $900 million gross figure for Madonna's next tour was WAY OFF?

It won't be WAY off, it will be embarrassingly off! And get ready for some AMAZING excuses as to why he was wrong. Perhaps he will blame climate change or the fact that Kim Jung Il is no longer alive as reasons her tour doesn't have the same demand that he
predicted. You should know better than anyone that he does not admit when he is wrong.

Actually, he probably won't even post given how far off he is this time.

His prediction for the Rolling Stones is $850 million. That prediction was at least somewhat possible, although right now, there are many questions about the Rolling Stones touring plans. Will they tour again? If they tour, how large a tour, how many shows, what size venues?

[wbarenno]

I know the madonna show near me in Birmingham uk hasnt sold out infact its far from it.its been in he local press saying how poor the ticket sales are. The prices are madness!

Her comeback single just about got in the top 40 it was a shocker to be fair awful awful song! She dosent seem to be doing too well in the uk anymore!
