Incorrect.
The Rolling Stones:
’89’-90 Steel Wheels / Urban Jungle Tour…$170 million
‘94-’95 Voodoo Lounge Tour…$319 million
‘97-’99 Bridges To Babylon / No Security Tour…$339 million
‘02-’03 Licks Tour…$300 million (grossed slightly less than their previous tour because less shows were played in comparison)
‘05-'07 A Bigger Bang Tour…$558 million
U2:
‘92-’93 ZOO TV Tour…$167 million
‘97-’98 PopMart Tour…$172 million
‘01 Elevation Tour…$143 million
‘05-’06 Vertigo Tour…$389 million
Couple of things to keep in mind:
1) The above post first mentioned U2 being ONE of the biggest draws in the world. This wasn't to say that it's U2 and only U2.
2) The above post then stated how RIGHT NOW, U2 is the biggest draw in the world. Nothing you wrote disputes that.
3) Stones have notoriously charged TONS more for their shows. Even now, U2 has tickets at low prices, while the Stones would charge double for those field tickets (if not more).
In other words, the Stones may have grossed more over the years, but they also charged more.
And right now, the Stones aren't touring. They may return in a year or so, but by then the economy may have improved a lot. U2 is doing this now, with the current economy.
moggio is completely annoying.
the stones have been out at least 15 years longer than u2 has.
in 15 years from now u2's touring record will crush the rolling stones...
and moggio has no clue what he is talking about.
p.s. oh i forgot to say something else...moggio you should take your sad little love affair for the stones and perhaps post on a stones forum site...
...because really noboddy cares here that they are not as big a concert draw as u2 is..laters!
So what does everyone expect for German and Scandinavian shows in 2010?
.
... and yes we know the stones "were" the biggest draw, but not anymore...
I'm saying u2 are currently the biggest draw...
if the stones do tour when you say they might and gross more thats great for them i really dont care, i'm not a fan of the stones but i like some of their songs.
But they're not.
Then why make an issue out of it?

this will be my last post about your facts on inflation maggio. if you take a bigger bangs $558 million and inflate it currently it will be $610,310,000 not $700 million so please get your facts correct. at the pace the 360 tour is going and considering we are in a recession, and don't tell me it doesn't affect the tour because it does slightly, it will surpass a bigger bangs inflated gross, so there this is over.
