oh you're from bangladesh? kamon acho? i live in texas but yeah im from bangladesh also. arent those two guys arguing above us crazy?
btw, does anyone know the attendance figures for the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels Tour?
thanks, mosquito. and to hasin73, ive lived in texas all my life, but i visit bangladesh every few years with my family. how big would you say the U2 fanbase is in bangladesh?
How do you think 360 will fair in the current economic climate ? I cant see the tour matching Vertigo for GROSS or attendance.
There dont appear to be many shows, although with 3-4 days between shows it looks as if theres room to double up in some venues if demand is there.
i would have expected 3 shows in Wembley, (london) and 3 in Croke (dublin)
also only one in Spain, germany and Italy.
Can only imagine theyre playing it safe and waiting to see how much spare demand there is. At least i hope.
That's definitely not true.
This summer, Madonna just grossed over $116 million USD from only 17 UK/European shows. That works out to be nearly $7 million per show.
And recently, in 2006-2007, Barbra Streisand grossed nearly $95 million USD from only 27 shows worldwide. In North America, from only 18 shows, she grossed over $76 million and averaged over $4.2 million per show.
U2, The Police & The Rolling Stones can't do that.
Now imagine how high their overall grosses would be if Madonna & Streisand did 100+ show tours like many other artists...
Whatever. The point is, overall, she's a larger draw than U2, The Police & The Rolling Stones are.
Anyone know the highest grossing concert tours in North America? I know the Stones had more than $160 million on A Bigger Bang and U2360 has $123 million so far.

The above is actually incorrect.
I didn't include the two shows at Beacon Theater, beause these are the only North American shows without any official box office numbers.
So I assume these must be the official figures?
