Default Bon Jovi #1 Touring Band Billboard 2010
Congratulations to the boys from new jersey on being the #1 touring band in the world for 2010. These #'s are from only 69 shows played so far. U2 second, ACDC third respectively. At the end of the month Bon Jovi should also be #1 on Pollstars year end chart as well

http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/conte...46ce43eb863d8c

"But, as is typical, the road veterans ring up the biggest box office. Bon Jovi's Circle tour (which has morphed into a greatest-hits tour that extends into 2011) leads all touring artists. Grossing $146.5 million, the four New Jersey boys played for 1,591,154 people at 69 reported shows"

Bon Jovi is in great position to repeat this accomplishment again for 2011 making them the first artist to win in consecutive years.

Because of stadiums for U2 vs. arenas (mostly) for Bon Jovi.

Another article on it:
http://www.billboard.com/features/bo...f575c03e8f%2C0

And FTR, if you want the real reason the sets aren't very rarity heavy (and never have been), look no further than this quote from Jon:
Quote:
Bon Jovi says fans don't come to shows because the band is the top touring act. "They come to see it because they've seen it before and they're willing to spend their disposable dollars," he says, adding that the band doesn't set out to top the Boxscore charts. "You can't think about it. In order to break records you have to just do it to satisfy the need."
