Unless people know the definitive figures what's the point in people estimating?

1984, though opening most places, was about 3 million.
1985, same as above, about 3 million.
Slippery was about 4 million.
New Jersey was about 4 million.
KTF was around 3 million.
These Days was about 3 million.
Crush/OWN was about 3 million.
Bounce was about 2 million.
HAND was about 2 million.

The others are scattered among special appearances such as Live 8, Live Earth, award shows, benefits, TV appearnces, etc.

bollocks!

1984 <1 mil
1985 <1 mil
Slippery - around 2 million in the US and less than1 million abroad
Jersey - on Access All Areas Jon says at the end 3 million something people
KTF - between 3 and 3.5 million
CrossRoad/These Days - between 5 and 6 million
Crush - less than 1 million
OWN - I think 1.4 was the number
Bounce - no clue...
HAND - slightly more than 2 million

What's bollocks?

I remember reading that they played in front of 6 million people between 1984-85. They played over 400 shows in those 2 years to my recollection.

As for the These Days tour, I don't know. I tihnk 5-6 million seems off. Of the 126 shows they played on that tour, 42 were played in the US and Canada in arenas or amphitheatres. If you figure every one of those shows was sold out (which they weren't), that would amount to about 640,000. When I saw them in Hartford, there were only 8,000 people there. I know they played mostly stadiums elsewhere, but an average of 65,000 people a night seems pretty high.

Bullocks, those things you mentioning are things wich maybe was said in the media by promotion, nothing accurate.
6 million people in 84-85, and you actuall believe that??? Damn talking about naive. Do you also always click the ad on this page when your the 1 million visitor?

The numbers Devil had rings a bell, has been on this board once with a source.

Happy searching

I didn't think the 84-85 numbers were correct either. They didn't play nearly 400 shows. I'm almost certain of that. I forget where I read that. I'm sure it was media release or something. Then again, where do they get over 2,500 shows from?

Slippery - 190
NJ - 232
Faith - 190
These Days/Crossroad - 126
Crush/OWN - 100
Bounce - 84
HAND - 89

That only equals 1,011. There's another 1,500 shows that have to be made up between 84-86, oneoffs, etc.

My thought is, the northeast of the US which is one of the biggest US markets for them only drew about 10,000 a night. How did the rest of the US draw? If you take away those 40 some odd shows, to hit 6 million, you'd have to be about 70,000 people a night overseas. That seems very high.

Then again, it's certainly not impossible. Maybe These Days was thei biggest Tour attendance wise. I just can't imagine only 3 million for the New Jersey Tour. That's only an average of about 13,000 per night. That doesn't seem right.

First of all those figures are released by Bon Jovi, not by any offical statement, logica does a lot tough.
2500, yeah maybe including television/radio/festival/promo everything shows.

Don't forget, the TD was BIG stadiums all over. New Jersey was maybe in the US big stadium, but in outside US audiances of 10.000 - 20.000 maybe even lower.

Anyhow, we'll never get the the precise figures. Most of them is hyped for media anyway

That's exactly what Jon says in his final speech in Guadalajara. As far as I know, that was the last concert of the tour.
