Boxscores from November 14th to May 13, 2008

Total Gross
$112,471,918
Total Attendance
1,164,945
Total Capacity
1,166,623
No. of shows
70
No. of sellouts
60

The spice girls are a very distant second with a gross of $70M and 581K in attendance.

Also, there is a big ad in the middle that says, "Found Along The Lost Highway...." and at the bottom "The #1 Tour Worldwide". Then in the middle are all these road type signs from the various US arenas most have sold out stamped on them. It's very cool!!

It will be interesting to see the numbers once the Europe and final summer shows are included.
