I'll guess anywhere from 2.3 to 2.7 million in ticket sales. Not bad for 10 months of touring (Oct. 07 to July 08) Imagine the type of $$$$$ and # of tickets sold if the band were to do a full size 18 month/2 year tour????? They could easily challenge the stones bigger bang and U2's Vertigo tour for highest grossing. In five years if they were to release a 30th anniversary greatest hits cd with a couple of hit singles included on the compliation, and tour North America/South America/The Pacific Rim/ Europe/Eastern Europe and Asia. They would for sure become the highest grossing tour ever. Bands like the Stones,U2, Bruce, and the Police (all iconic bands and well deserving) when they tour, though not as often as Jovi, they tour for at least 18 months to 2 years. I'm just saying that it is very, very impressive for Jovi to put up the $$ and #'s they do in such a short period of time, not even a full calendar year, most of their tours last only 9 to 10 months with lower ticket prices than the artists mention above.
If you were to add up the tour attendance from 2000 on (Crush 1.1/OWN 1.9/Bounce 1.8/HAND 2.1/LH 2.3) it equals 9.2 million tickets sold in eight years. This is an AMZAZING statisitc, almost 10 million in eight years. No other band can compete with Jovi in this category, not the stones, u2, bruce, or the Police. Add up the amount of shows for each tour (Crush 41/own 54/Bounce 84/HAND 89/ LH 99) you have 367 shows over eight years with an average of 25,068.12 per show. WOW!!!!!
