Thanx for Posting Deb :)

Is this just for 1 week?

The average gross and ticket price are for all the shows in 2008. So far this year Jovi is number one for North America. Not sure they will hold that ranking though once the summer concerts start and a lot of tours start up.

How could it be $2 million for all the shows in 2008?

$2 mill in a week! Think it through McDuff :p

Forget the week. Its 2 mil average for a show

Holy crap - the Spice Girls are ahead of Bruce :shock:

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.......

Again, the figures quoted are an "average" for each show not the total. And the figures are GROSS so that's not taking into account all the costs with putting on a show as well as the portion that will go to the promoter and Uncle Sam!

They will be the number 1 this year for sure.
