I'm guessing that these are American only shows. There is no way they sold out over 90% of their shows, especially in europe.

It's worldwide because the Rolling Stones and U2 numbers are right.

Agreed.

They played 100 on the LH tour, which would mean only 149 dates across the other 4 tours. Not sure that's accurate...

That's bullshit. I know for a fact there have been U2 shows around here that haven't been sell-outs.

Plus, only 249 shows for Bon Jovi? That's not right. They did 100+ on LH alone. So between the previous 3 tours, they only played about 50 shows each?

Crush Tour: 40 shows
One Wild NIght Tour: 54 shows
Bounce Tour: 83 shows
Have a Nice Day: 89 shows
Lost Highway Tour: 100 shows

That is 366 shows and don't forget all promotion gigs an other "between-tour" gigs. So it's almost 400 shows this decade !
