Top 10 Grossing Tours of 2007
From Bumpshack...
The Police got back together to collect $212 million dollars in concert revenue in 2007. They reunited rock group earned the most on the road for the year. They were followed closely by 80’s competition Genesis. Sexy R&B star Justin Timberlake took the third spot, followed by Kenny Chesney, Rod Stewart, Cirque Du Soleil’s Delirium, Roger Waters, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Christina Aguilera and Rascal Flatts. The Top 10 Grossing Tours of 2007 1. The Police ($212 million) 2. Genesis ($129 million) 3. Justin Timberlake ($126.8 million) 4. Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million) 5. Rod Stewart ($70 million) 6. Cirque Du Soleil’s Delirium ($59.4 million) 7. Roger Waters ($53.2 million) 8. Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million) 9. Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million) 10. Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million) Imagine how much money The Police would have made if Sting could still hit that high note in Roxanne...

No Hannah surprises me so much that I refuse to think this list is accurate. Wasn't that thing sold out everywhere?

The big issue with the Hannah Montana tour is that a) there were only 55 dates originally, and b) top listed face value of the tickets was $63, regardless of the scalpers' value. The above tours likely outgrossed it due to higher ticket value, greater number of dates, and/or larger venues.
It's also possible that the extension of the Hannah Montana tour to January 31 means it's not officially a "2007" tour, but IMO that's quibbling. |

Do we really think that the people lining up to overpay for tickets for this sort of show are motivated, even slightly, by the quality of the performance they are going to witness? |

They just released some more tickets in Austin I think it was, or they added a show. Something like that. My wife was able to get 4 tickets. I wish they were to sell online, but they are for the kid and her friend (her mom is paying us back) and the moms. After my unhappiness faded away I told her I might want to take our daughter. The hot mom single mom potential at that show should be tremendous. Also, the creepy old single guy coming by himself would be more fun to see then I can imagine. Quote:
It sucks. It also says a lot about our nation's taste in music. It sucks.

Christina is the only one on that list I'd consider seeing. And that's all I did, because she was here and I passed.

Shorty, you need to re-read the other side of your man card...

These are worldwide tour numbers. The Police and Genesis, especially Genesis which has been playing in huge sold out venues in Europe all year, are being supported by oversees dates. |
