FYI, if you look around the forum you'll see that there are quite a few people that are consistently negative towards U2.

In case you didn't know, there are other ways of determining alters. :hmm:

Well why don't you enlighten us? Can you prove that the person posting under these names is not MOGGIO or is not in contact with MOGGIO?

Strange, MOGGIO would often say the same thing.:wink:

Dude seems to have serious mental problems that really have nothing to do with the posts I am making.

WOW, this must be the twilight zone here because MOGGIO also said the same thing. But I'm sure this is indeed an original thought by a new poster. I mean you have been registered here for 7 days and have 15 posts. Plenty of time to assess the mental state of everyone here.:wink:


However I am working on getting some numbers in Pollstar Magazine. It has to be Pollstar since I can't find any easy online forms to put them in Billboard. If someone wants to direct me to the proper place to get numbers published in Billboard I will attempt to report a sold out show there too.

WOW, MOGGIO was also in love with Pollstar. Posted a bunch of mid-year statistics by Pollstar. But hey, that does not mean anything, because we always get new people talking about Pollstar at length in here all the time.:wink:
 
maoil, if it is moggio, who cares? this is a forum where everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how ludicrous it may be :lol: , so there is nothing you can do about it.

I suggest you get back on topic.
 
I'm guessing

Houston 60,000
Norman 60,000
Las Vegas 45,000
Phoenix 55,000
Pasadena: 95,000
Vancouver 65,000
 
all estimates for Norman put it around 60k
(local media, newspaper, tv news, and even Bono himself said "there's about 60,000 or you here tonight")

who is MOGGIO?
 
Looks like U2 did well at the Rose Bowl.

Music News, Reviews, Articles, Information, News Online & Free Music | Billboard.com

It took 22 years but U2 has broken its own attendance record for the best-attended single concert performance at a U.S. venue by one headliner.

The band's 360 Tour played the Pasadena, Calif. Rose Bowl on Oct. 25 to a sellout crowd of 97,014 -- the highest attendance on record for one U.S. show by a single headliner based on box office totals reported to Billboard.

The old record was set on Sept. 25, 1987 at the now-demolished John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia with a crowd of 86,145 in attendance for the band's Joshua Tree Tour. This year's Rose Bowl performance grossed more than $9.9 million, considerably more than the 1987 Philly show which brought in a mere $1.5 million in ticket sales.

Among the top five single-concert attendances on record in the U.S., the top three are all U2 performances. The third-highest attendance is also from the band's current tour at its Sept. 29 sellout at the FedExField in Landover, Md with 84,754. Pink Floyd's May 29, 1994 show at the Ohio State University football stadium is in fourth place with 75,250. The Backstreet Boys round out the top five with a sold-out show at the Georgia Dome on Feb. 19, 2000. 73,337 fans filled the Atlanta stadium to see the pop group's Into the Millennium Tour.

U2's Rose Bowl show excelled in gross ticket sales as well as attendance. With $9.96 million grossed, it is the second highest-grossing single U.S. concert by a solo headliner. The concert is second only to the Three Tenors' July 20, 1996 sold-out show at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The Rolling Stones make up the rest of this top five list with a Giants Stadium concert of its own on Sept. 15, 2005, a sold-out benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall on March 14, 2006 and an outdoor show at Chicago's Soldier Field on Sept. 10, 2005.

The attendance at the Georgia Dome is not a record.

According to this article on Billboard:

http://www.billboard.com/#/news/u2-s-rose-bowl-show-breaks-attendance-record-1004032260.story

The Backstreet Boys have the record at the Georgia Dome with a crowd of 73,337.

That's what I was wondering too......it was mentioned here on this thread that The Who had an audience of over 91,000 at their show in Philadelphia.....maybe they might be using a different criteria to come up with the top 5......maybe no opening act?

And I guess bands who ONLY played one night, the Stones played to 95 and change - twice!

The whole crowd at the Rose Bowl was such a clusterfuck they would have been better off doing 2 nights in a smaller stadium but I guess shooting for a record and building a monument to their own popularithy was more important than crowd comfort and convenience. (And as impressive as this is it's still less than half of what they did in So Cal during the Fall 1992 run).

I had to wait in line 20 minutes just to get in the tunnel to get to my section between bands. And I cut only because I was too lazy to look for the back of the line.

wow.......um, sucks for you?

as you've noticed, bitching about U2 on a U2 fan forum isn't going to get you much sympathy.......so maybe you should just take it elsewhere.

Who's bitching about U2 and who's looking for sympathy? Got a problem with reading comphrehension? The stadium wasn't really appropriate for that show. Still not a bad show for $20 and bus fare.

Well, I just don't see what the point was of mentioning how they did not do as well as back in 1992, and making an assumption about their arrogance....and what are you doing on this forum anyways? i thought maoil was crazy.....but i notice moggio is on as well :hmm:

Comparing the "record breaking" 97,000 in 2009 to the 225,000 in 1992. But they are sure cleaning up this time unless you believe that nonsense about not making a profit.

and making an assumption about their arrogance....

Assumption? I thought that was a given.

I came to talk about the Rose Bowl show but found this forum more interesting. But if you popped in the Rose Bowl thread at all you will see I am not the only one mentioning crowd control issues.

Ok, well i'm sorry you were stuck in a clusterfuck........but don't make it seem like U2 are the only money-grubbing artists around. At least they don't charge $500 like the Rolling Stones and Madonna.

Saw that, but neither are the Backstreet Boys in 5th place with an attendance like that. The Billboard list of top attendance when it comes non-festival, ticketed concerts is inaccurate!



I think part of the problem is that Billboard Boxscore's computerized data base only goes back to January 1991. For anything before that, you have to look through the old magazines. So I think its accurate for shows after January 1991, but clearly, they are missing a lot of shows from the 1980s with this list.

Billboard Boxscore only has a computerized data base going back to January 1991. Before that you have to go through the individual magazines. So from January 1991 on, its accurate. They probably only did a brief check or guess on shows before that.

All these artist had opening acts at these shows. The Who show was exactly 5 years to date before the U2 show in 1987 at JFK stadium. It was also at JFK stadium

THE WHO

That show is the old record for a non-festival, ticketed concert.

Nope, the two Stones shows at the JFK stadium in Philadelphia had under 91,000 people per night. Those two shows remain the largest attended shows for the Rolling Stones in North America in their history. Of course, not playing any stadium shows on that tour in New York or Washington DC naturally helped as did having JOURNEY open the show, who by the way would play their own show at JFK stadium on their next tour.
