The Rolling Stones have the top Grossing tour for North America in chalender year (January to December) with The Voodoo Lounge tour which did 121 million. I think Bridges To Babylon is close or around there but it had most of its tour in 1997 with the rest in 1998. If you don't go by the 12 month chalender year formula then, it to was around the 120 million range.
The Eagles Reunion tour did around 120 million in North America from 1994-1995.
U2s elevation tour would be next with 109 million Gross in North America from the 2001 tour.
I believe the most recent Bruce Springsteen tour may have crossed the 100 million mark in North America, but I'm not positive about that.
Pink Floyd's last North American tour did 103 million in 1994.
Prince raked in a good bit of money on his last tour and may be close to the 100 million category for North America as well.

Sting 2 can I ask where I can find those stats?
very few fans ( specially Pop haters ) knows Pop Mart was their most succesful Tour ever 
As far as I know, that would be Elevation tour, ponkine. Second most succesful ever, behind Vodoo Lounge tour.
I've read that several times since 2001. It was, if I remember right, their tour with the highest profit margin ever.
(that said, how long are Stones' tours? More than a year? How much do they charge for tickets?)

The last one was "short", only lasted 14 months (with some breaks), their Bridges To Babylon tour started on September 1997 and ended on June 1999, of course with various breaks.
And for charge for tickets, the last tour got VERY HIGHT ticket prices that's why they grossed 300 millions with "only" 3.5 million people. They grossed an average of $3.5 millions per show in US and $4.5 millions in Europe/Asia...

Elevation Tour was second highest grossing tour in US!
Worldwide, U2's highest grossing tour was PopMart with 171$ million.
ZooTV did around 150 million without touring SouthAmerica (wich represent almost 500,000 tickets sold in 1998) and many countries that PopMart did.
ZooTV = 5,4 million tickets sold
PopMart = 3,9 million tickets sold

I believe Stones Licks tour (2002-2003) topped $300 million worldwide including $120 million North America (top ticket price $400).
2003 Springsteen $115 million in US (top ticket price $75).
2002 MCCartney $98 million in US (top ticket price $250).
