PollStars Top 10 Grossing Tours

[Zahzoo]

Interesting the top 5 is dominated by "older" (my generation's)rock acts. Only 1 Pop act in the whole Top 10. Kinda blows outta the water the assumptions watching the VMA's as to where the "real" money is flowing for live acts.

Rock is not dead!!!

(Per-Show Average Gross)

1. Paul McCartney - $2,610,295
2. Jimmy Buffet - $1,209,574
3. The Eagles - $1,152,054
4. Cher - $1,058,496
5. Britney Spears - $900,655
6. Dave Mathews Band - $827,027
7. Green Day/Blink-182 - $443,465
8. Brooks & Dunn Neon Circus and Wild West Show - $341,727
9. Sammy Hagar/David Lee Roth - $301,781
10. Robin Williams - $301,099

Knock Paul, Jimmy, Eagles & Cher... but a per show average of $$1 or 2 million is pretty damn respectable!!

Imagine that... us old farts appear to be the ones with the cash for live shows... obviously money talks!! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

The first 5 (except Buffet) charge $1-2 million per ticket.
