2006?
They will likely beat their 1997 attendance.
Was the ticket count ever reported for the cancelled Raleigh Popmart show?

You´re absolutely right sting2. And we all should remember that Popmart was the tour with the most attendance in the US back in 1997. The only reason why Bridges to Babylon was deemed a more successful tour is tickets were more expensive thus making it the top grossing tour in the US that year.
Actually, the Popmart tour sold 100,000 more tickets than the Bridges to Babylon tour in the US. U2 played 10 more shows than the Stones that year in the US, so someone could argue that if the Stones had added three or four more shows to the tour, they would have superseded U2 in the number of tickets sold too.
So, why didn´t they do it? I´m pretty sure the reason is there was no additional demand.

I don´t think so but remember that the main reason they cancelled the show was they got the screen extensively damaged by a storm or something like that.
Regardless of the number of tickets sold, at least they had a good excuse.

Actually, that isn't correct. I have to admit I'm doing this from memory, but if it serves me right, then I think that Garth Brooks had the most attendance for his tour. However, his ticket prices were a lot lower than U2's, so he didn't gross as much.

I have an old copy of the fanzine The Zooropean (which replaced the excellent Collectormania by Pimm Jal de la Parra for a few issues) with a review of the first dozen or so shows of the Popmart Tour. It says that only 18,000 tickets were sold for the Raleigh concert.
fedeu2 said:
The Bidges To Babylon Tour continued in the USA into 1998 and this put them over the top in terms of attendence and increased their total GROSS from 89 million to around 120 million. So it was the bigger tour eventually, but not at the end of 1997.
Popmartijn said:
Garth Brooks only charged 20 dollars a ticket and played only Arena's. I suppose its possible Garth could of had the higher attended tour in the United States, but it would have been very difficult to get that worldwide. It takes 55 completely soldout arena shows just to get to 1 million people. To beat POPMART total worldwide figure of 4 million would have required 220 shows.
In any event, Garth Brooks tour was not looked at as a tour competitive with POPMART or Bridges To Babylon back in 1997, probably because of the low ticket price and smaller venues played.

If you read the U2 SHOW book, or crew interviews from 1997-8 about the technical aspects of the tour, the crew said the screen NEVER had a major malfunction.
On can also argue that it would have been relatively easy to reshedule the show.
I think an educated guess was that maybe in the range of 15,000 tickets were sold, or less. When exactly was the concert cancelled - just a couple days before the show?

U2FanPeter said:
It was cancelled just a few days before the show, and the screen broke down again during the show in Washington DC according to fans who were there. Even if only 15,000 tickets were sold the band would have played the show, as they did in Jacksonville with the same number in attendance. But most reports I have seen place the number of tickets sold closer to 20,000 for that North Carolina show.

I thought the gig was even cancelled on the day of the concert. I read about people already being on their way to the stadium when the announcement came that the concert was cancelled.

I was just taken into account the year of 1997.
We can´t compare what happened in 1998 since Popmart tour was over by then.

What makes the excuse even weaker is that the 3 Canadian Prairie shows(Winnipeg/ 2 Edmontons) were performed mostly in daylight.
While some source may have said "18,000", this would not include "walk up" ticket sales, which usually amount to a couple thousand. Was the press in the Local Raleigh area "relieved" at the news of the concert cancellation?

Yeah, and the screen was in really bad shape during the second Buenos Aires show. I should know since I was there!
In any event, the screen DID have malfunctions (mostly because of the weather) several times during the tour.

I wonder if the promoter lost more money in Jacksonville than in Sarajevo? I'm sure they spent way more than $200,000 figuring out how to put on that show in Sarajavo.

Apologies for the backwards math in the post directly above.
I am amazed that Sarajevo and Jacksonville are only about $200,000 apart in gross revenue.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Attendance at all PopMart shows
At any rate, the average weekly cost of the tour was 1.5 million dollars, so the few times they dropped below 1 million dollars in GROSS was not really a factor. Consider the fact that the band went to Sarajavo which was soldout knowing full well that the total GROSS would only be a little over a half million dollars. When POPMART finished in March of 1998, it was the second highest grossing tour in history as well as the second most profitable tour in history.

We now have individual statistics for 83 of the 93 POPMART shows. I was able to come up with the totals for each leg of the tour and the entire tour itself because those figures were printed by Amusement Business back in 97-98.(Amusementbusiness.com)

Thanks again for all these figures. What source are you obtaining the figures from? I'm very curious about this, because these individual boxscore figures were never published in Billboard magazine or on Billboard.com back in 1997.
There are only 10 shows that we don't have exact figures for now. Do you have the following 10 shows:

The capacity of concerts at BC Place can clear 45,000, so I doubt the 35,000 figure.
I can aquire the seating/staging floorplan for BC Place Vancouver Popmart that was used by Ticketmaster.
Does the 12/09/97 fan-cam video give indication of how full the venue?
This link has a decent crowd shot: www.dropd.com/issue/82/U2/index.html(also includes 2 rare shots of a shaved-head Bono)

I think you have all Popmart figures
WOW, this is just fantastic! Thanks so much for completing all the information for the POPMART tour. Your very quiet about where your obtaining all this information. I was just curious because not all of the individual statistics were posted in Billboard magazine or on Billboard.com back in 1997. One reason might have been that for a number of years, Billboard would only post the top 10 concert grosses per week in the magazine as well as on the website. Prior to 1993 though, Billboard magazine used to publish the entire Boxscore chart every week and started to do so again about 4 years ago. The website has always just published the top 10, unless you have membership.
A lot of the concerts we did not have statistics for were the lower attended, lower grossing shows, which may have been because they did not make the top 10 in which ever week they got released, rather than the reason being it was simply not reported for whatever the reason.
Thanks again for this great information. Your information matches up perfectly with all the totals for each leg of the tour. I was 99.99% sure that the totals for each leg that were printed in Billboard were correct back in 1997-1998, but not 100% because there is always the chance for a slight print mistake or math error which is why its always a plus to have all of the boxscore statistics. Now we have those, and they match up perfectly with the totals obtained in 1997-1998.
Anyways, thanks again for the information, and let us know if you can get information for U2's Elevation tour in 2001, where once again, we have a lot of the statistical information, but not all of it.
Is there a database that you subscribe to or once subscribe to where you obtained the information? Billboard.com does not archive its boxcore results at the current time, and I'm not sure if Amusement Business offers a database with an archive anymore, although I believe they once did and it allowed you to check concerts all the way back to 1985.

I think that Billboard does archive boxscore results (results are available, but requests are not free...)
