Thumbs up Bon Jovi haved grossed $65 million!
Not too shabby.!
The Stones are in another league though, and I'm sure U2 would have even outgrossed them if they had not cut short their tour.

Don't the Stones charge a lot more for tickets though? People bitch about Bon Jovi's prices, but they're still less than a lot of other acts.

Bon Jovi may be third in total dollars but they have sold more tickets than both U2 and the Stones. Thats a more impressive accomplishment than charging 200-300 dollars a show......or 400 per show if you're Madonna.

Than U2, yes. Than the Stones, no. The Stones played South America where they drew HUGE crowds.

And isn't that gross just the arena tour of the US??? I don't think the summer or Europe numbers are in there so by the time all is said and done the gross will be over 100 million.

I just remembered the 1.5 Million people show in RIO. Bon Jovi didn't have that in the whole German tour together. Now you might say that that show was free but it was you who said that:

well...this more impressive "accomplishment" is not really more impressive having in mind that a lot of people can't go to a Stones concert because it's 40 euros(Billy Idol or Depeche Mode tickets are just as much) more expensive than a Bon Jovi concert
