Means...more more than 2 700 000 Tickets sold....this is huge

sure...U2 are bigger...Robbie Williams is bigger...Rolling Stones are bigger

Jon is one of the "Big Boys"...not number one...not number 5...but number 6 or 7...with 2 700 000 tickets sold...this is fine

Madonna play in Munich last year...in front of 30 000 fans...in an empty Olympic Stadium

Rolling Stones play the Commerzbank Stadium in Germany...sold 23 000 Tickets

Muse: Montreal, CAN Bell Centre 15,818 / 16,477 (96%)...Bon Jovi sold Out this place 5 times this tour...every Show sold out with more than 19 000 Tickets

Rolling Stones play many Venues with out sold out.

40 000 tickets in Mannheim is not that big like U2...but great...I don`t have 40 000 Fans in Mannheim


Somebody Is Always bigger...Bon Jovi Are very Big...they were Huge...other Acts are bigger...but...hey...thats ok.

But Bon Jovi is not a real festival band whereas Muse are perfect for a festival. People who go to festivals hardly go there for only one band in particular. In 2007 they did not headline Rock am Ring and only played at a friday right before Linkin Park (that doesn't say anything about the quality of course)

I think it really depends on the country. In Germany Muse could never sell out stadiums and it would be interesting to see how many tickets they would sell playing the O2 12 times. But I know that they are really big in France (think it was their biggest market outside of the UK from the beginning)

But maybe you are right and Muse really have become THAT big. Haven't really been following them during the last 2 years, 'cause I didn't like their last album.

it would be interesting to know if U2 could still sell as many tickets as they do if they would do as many shows and tours as bj.

Why are you picking out the few cities where Bon Jovi did better than the Rolling Stones, Madonna and Springsteen? Why not mention the rest of Europe where all of them are way more successful than BJ?


I don't know why this keeps coming up. Actually, U2 is touring Latin America, Australia and Europe (with a few exceptions) more frequently than Bon Jovi, because Bon Jovi always skips lots of markets each tour.

U2 had 3 major tours in the last 10 years while bj also had smaller ones in the beginning of that decade, but bj have played around 500 shows while u2 only played around 350. So bj are one tour ahead (sort of) (I know bj skipped SA and some parts of Europe in some tours)

I don't want to start an argument I was just comparing.

You picking out Venues where Bon Jovi Are smaller...I Picking out Venues where Bon Jovi Are bigger.

This is for shit.

Bon Jovi are very huge...other Bands were bigger...ok

Lets check out the Tourplan from Muse in 15 Years...did they will sell out stadiums after 30 years in the World of touring????

Bon Jovi did...look at youtube....vienna: full Stadium, Munich: full Stadium, I've senn the Düsseldorf Show: full Stadium, Melbourne: full stadium...Hamburg 2008: half empty Stadium (but a great show )....but thats ok boy

U2 and Stones are bigger only when touring is about,megalomaniacs stage ond so on,they are not better,bon jovi play more stadiums shows then any other band in the world,bon jovi are huge,big time!

That's just wrong!

no,it is not,japanese statistics,they say so and look at all venues through the years since 1984-2011 and you'll see that is true!

I am not sure, but I think Helsinki was sold out this summer. Friend of mine tried to buy a ticket a month before te show, but she couldn´t...

In Japan maybe, but certainly not worldwide.
