Diamonds World Tour & Mrs Carter World Tour
These tours need to be in the list right now. The tours grossed more than 130 million. It need to be in the last section. JLeemans1 (talk) 18:47, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Inaccurate list
Why isn't 25 Live by George Michael listed? Also, why is Devils & Dust Tour here if it only grossed $33 million?--79.112.52.101 (talk) 20:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

If you can find accurate information for 25 Live, it should be added. As of today, Devils & Dust Tour is no longer listed. :00, 09 October 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurencedunne (talk • contribs) 18:13, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Other high-grossing tours that might need investigation for inclusion are Pink Floyd's Division Bell Tour of 1994, the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over Tour of 1994-1996, the Elton John/Billy Joel joint tour of 2001-2003, and Tina Turner's Break Every Rule Tour of 1987-1988, Wildest Dreams Tour of 1996-1997, Twenty Four Seven Tour of 2000, and Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour of 2008-2009. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:53, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Also worthy of inclusion if anyone can find reliable information on them, are Guns and Roses Use Your illusion Tour, U2's Zoo TV Tour and Popmart Tour, and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA Tour.

You have put bon jovi's Have a nice day tour as grossing 109 million, how did you work that out? they played to over 2 million people, just a bit less than there lost highway tour, which grossed 227 million, not the 210 you claim, unless you can not get the write figurs, i suggest u delete this page, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.84.223 (talk) 05:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC) I think you have to show us better sources.

I'v never done this before, but I'm trying! Okay, so Celine Dion's Las Vegas tour [according to Billboard] grossed 390,800,000-

Concert name: A New Day... Years Active: 2003-2007 Number of shows: 723 Tickets sold: 2.930.000 Gross sales: 390.800.000 Average price per ticket: 133

AND

Concert Name: Let's Talk About Love Tour Years active: 1998-1999 Number of shows: 97 Tickets sold: 2.300.000 Gross sales: 133.000.000 Average price per ticket: 58

Both of these can be confirmed on the Celine Dion official website. http://celinedion/tours.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.37.106.11 (talk) 22:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Your link is no good, and we really need Billboard links anyway. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Your link does not exist, also "A New Day..." was NOT a tour, it was a Las Vegas residency in one venue only - not a tour  J W A D  talk 22:20, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I disagree. While Fansites should not be used, official artists websites and press releases from the artists are the best measurement. Billboard measures only the USA, not worldwide, and artists don't fluff their own numbers (at least not upwards) because they report those numbers to tax authorities. Fansites, of course, are a different story. --Laurencedunne (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Wrong. Billboard also reports other venues in the Boxscore chart. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 15:33, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Adjusted for inflation/Sources/references
Please do not add unsourced or unreferenced material on this page. Fansites or other wiki pages are not reliable sources. Also please do not add an "Adjusted for inflation" section which is completely misleading, unreferenced and has been added to enable fancruft to be added to the page. It is completely unacceptable to use the adjusted amount to define the Top 20 as it is not accurate and not referenced. Thanks  J W A D  talk 19:39, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree completely about needing real sources, not fansites or other WP pages. However, I disagree strongly about removing the inflation-adjusted grosses column. In any economic or political science paper or textbook, monetary amounts across time are always adjusted for inflation, otherwise you reach completely skewed conclusions. The same is true in this context. Articles about the most popular movies of all time, for example, frequently adjust receipts for inflation, because otherwise the list is completely dominated by films in the 1990s and 2000s and incredibly popular films of previous decades, such as Gone With the Wind, The Sound of Music, and Jaws get lost. Our article List of highest-grossing films in the United States and Canada presents an inflation-adjusted list as well. Coming up with the inflation-adjusted figures here doesn't need fansites, just use of an inflation adjustment calculator on the actual gross figure, which is what was done.

Furthermore, there's a third way to rank concert tours, and that's by the total number of tickets sold. If you think about it, that's the way that all other music rankings are done. Nobody puts together lists of the "Top-grossing albums of all time". As shown in List of best-selling albums in the United States, the rankings just count albums sold, and it doesn't matter whether an album sold for $3 in 1970 or $15 in 2000. In terms of the popularity of a tour (and not how rich the tour made the promoters), it's total tickets sold that's probably the most important indicator.

So in order to be useful and fair, this article needs to present the top concert tours in all three categories, actual gross, inflation-adjusted gross, and tickets sold. Wasted Time R (talk) 21:45, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe we can incorporate what you have mentioned and have 3 seperate sections on the page: "Actual Gross", "Gross adjusted for Inflation" and "Tickets sold". These will all have to be referenced and proved.  J W A D  talk 17:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Having three sections is a lot of extra work to maintain. Having sortable columns allows having just one table, and the reader can chose any of the three sort options.  It's okay with me if the default presentation is actual gross.  The key to having one table, however, is that the cutoff criteria has to be any tour that gets in the top 20 (or 25 or whatever you pick) by any of the three criteria.  Wasted Time R (talk) 23:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * sortable columns is the way to go. I strongly believe that adjusted for inflation is the correct way to measure the gross of a tour. It's the only way to compare tours across different eras. If the inflation adjustor used is not the best one out there, lets get a better one, but using flat dollar amounts to compare tours is not the right way to go. Also, I agree with previous writers that total tickets sold might be a better measurement, sadly it's also a harder one to get accurate information on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurencedunne (talk • contribs) 17:23, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you should not use the inflation part, cos as i remember i payed the same price for a ticket at Bon Jovi's HAND Tour and Lost highway tour, both were £40 including booking fee. so there price didnt go up with inflation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.84.223 (talk) 20:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Very good point indeed, I paid the same price for my tickets to Madonna's 2006 Confessions Tour as to 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour.  J W A D  talk 22:22, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * My Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium tickets were $18 in 1985 and $95 in 2009. That's the kind of change we're trying to reflect. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

A New Day...
This was a show in Las Vegas and wouldn't be considered a concert tour. Therefore it shouldn't be on this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burbscinates (talk • contribs) 20:48, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Tour is a series of concerts in various cities. Bluesatellite (talk) 01:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

so how are you calculating the ticket inflation prices?? what are you using because its a bit confusing.. here it says "Bruce Springsteen's 1984–1985 Born in the U.S.A. Tour, which grossed between $80 million and $90 million at the time,[22] would be between about $190 million and $210 million in 2010 terms" but when i use the inflation adjustment calculator i get a very lower figure ..so how is this been done  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonash7 (talk • contribs) 13:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Michael Jacksons Dangerous world tour
Why isnt Michael jacksons Dangerous wolrd tour on the list. It grossed over 125 million dollars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.132.207.229 (talk) 11:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

many of michael jackson tours should be included.. bad and dangerous grossed 125million at the time and with inflation it comes close to 300mill.. look into this please — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonash7 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

As to the Dangerous Tour, Michael himself said he wanted to reach $100 million by Christmas 1993, but the tour was cancelled after November 11, 1993. Given inflation and the fact that Michael's Bad Tour, which grossed $125 million, barely made it on the list, I don't think the Dangerous Tour will. The HIStory Tour will probably make the list, though. Mauri96 (talk) 05:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

U2 Tours
There are several U2 tours that could be on this list but are not because of the inabililty to find accurate information. If anyone can find a reliable source, please add to list:

Elevation: USA Today reported North American Sales of $109 Million for North America Alone, not counting the 33 concerts in Europe, many of which were in open-air parks or stadiums (like the famous Slane Castle Show)

If anyone can find reliable information on their european revenues for that tour, it would easily make the list.

Zoo TV: According to U2's own figures, POP grossed $171 Million from 3.9 Million people. Zoo TV played to a much larger 5.3 Million. It surely deserves a place on this list if good revenue figures can be found for it.

Joshua tree Tour: 111 mostly stadium concerts, if anyone can find reliable references, it shoudl be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.200.27.9 (talk) 15:32, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

This list is really inaccurate there should be a ton of changes.

Averages need an asterisk
It's not clear how the "Average gross (millions)" and "Average attendance" are computed.

Most of the time the Average gross matches the gross divided by a 1,000,000 divided by the attendance but in many cases it does not. It's not clear if when the music industry reports "Average gross" if they are including or removing some numbers such as unpaid tickets. Some of these are close and may be rounding issues but others, such as Celine Dion's "Taking Chances Tour" are quite different.
 * The Rolling Stones's "A Bigger Bang Tour" reports a $3.8 average gross per show but the computed value is $3.9
 * Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour" reports a $4.79 average gross per show but the computed value is $4.80
 * U2's "Vertigo Tour" reports a $2.96 average gross per show but the computed value is $2.97
 * Celine Dion's "Taking Chances Tour" reports a $2.9 average gross per show but the computed value is $2.1
 * Lady Gaga's "The Monster Ball Tour" reports a $1.14 average gross per show but the computed value is $1.13
 * Metallica's "World Magnetic Tour" reports a $1.4 average gross per show but the computed value is $1.2
 * Pink's "Funhouse Tour" reports a $1.3 average gross per show but the computed value is $0.9

Likewise, for "Average attendance" it's not clear if the music industry includes unpaid attendance in the average but not the "attendance" column.

--Marc Kupper&#124;talk 18:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Pink's "Funhouse Tour" reports an 21,461 average attendance per show but the computed value is 14,305. The reported number is a full third higher than what's computed.
 * Pink Floyd's "The Division Bell Tour" reports an 55,000 average attendance per show but the computed value is 50,000.
 * Celine Dion's "Taking Chances Tour" reports an 27,424 average attendance per show but the computed value is 22,727.
 * Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising Tour" reports an 31,081 average attendance per show but the computed value is 26,937.
 * Metallica's "World Magnetic Tour" reports an 16,976 average attendance per show but the computed value is 14,434.
 * Cher's "Living Proof: The Farewell Tour" reports an 10,800 average attendance per show but the computed value is 10,769. This may be a rounding issue to make the reported average a nice even number.
 * Britney Spears's "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" reports an 15,488 average attendance per show but the computed value is 15,464.
 * Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour" reports an 21,250 average attendance per show but the computed value is 21,357. This may be a rounding issue with the average seat count rounded to the nearest 250.
 * Lady Gaga's "The Monster Ball Tour" reports an 12,250 average attendance per show but the computed value is 12,438. This may be a rounding issue to make the reported average a nice even number.

Does anyone have stats on Metallica's Wherever We May Roam Tour ?

 * Since the page has been updated into several periods, I propose the maximum 20 tours in every section to keep the balance of the article. I believe that more tours will gross over $100m in near future, so it's to avoid WP:RECENTISM (2010s) as well. Bluesatellite (talk) 00:47, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

 * I do think we should consider capping the list to maximum number of entries per decade. The name of the list is, after all, "Highest-grossing" and not just "High grossing", implying that there's a cut line of tours not shown. I think the top 20 tours that gross over $100m in a decade is a reasonable place to start. Perhaps in the future we'll have to revisit the cutoff but for now it seems sensible. Should we also consider lowering the threshold for tours prior to the 2000's when $100m tours became more commonplace? 87Fan (talk) 15:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think using the adjusted inflation figure is fairer than lowering the threshold for pre-2000s tours. It reflects how music industry has changed over the years. Before the 2000s, artists still got a lot of their profit from record sales. Now, since record sales have declined very much, they have to make money from touring instead. List of best-selling albums page is dominated by 1980s/1990s releases, and it uses the same threshold (20m copies) for post-2000s albums. So, I think this page has to work the same way. The main problem for the pre-2000 tours actually is the lack of official figures/reliable sources. Break Every Rule Tour by Tina Turner is definitely one of the most profitable tour ever (4m attendance), but we never know how much it grossed. Bluesatellite (talk) 04:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * That is an accurate assessment of the situation and yes that's how the lists are mostly structured. I think this list can be Featured list worthy if we work on it a bit more. — Indian: BIO  · [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 05:52, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * These links describe how touring has taken over the record sales in musicians' revenue. We can incorporate it on the lead section to explain why most of the top-grossing tours come from this decade. Bluesatellite (talk) 12:24, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Why not let it at TOP 40? Any day soon the TOP 20 will surely be higher than 200 million. I only say this because its useful to use the grid to change the order (for instance use the get the most grossing inflation adjusted top where some tours that would be top 20 are already out of the grid and others will be soon). - I'm talking about the main Grid Top of All Time.

Inflation hasn’t been adjusted for all!
Michael Jackson’s BAD tour, for example, grossed 125 million, which, by 2012 standard, is approx. $252.63, so how could the inflation calculation be accurate …I have just used an online inflation calculator for this.

Also, the attendees on MJ’S are higher than some of those further up the list for higher gross, which doesn’t add up; this is part of the confusion regarding the supposed correct inflation in the wiki list.

In other words, tickets were cheaper back in the 80’s and 90’s for concerts for starters, and if you bring the current highest grossing wiki figures back to 1987’s inflation, it practically cuts their gross figures in half - Just as bringing Jackson’s BAD tour gross up to 2012 inflation brings his 125mill to over double.

If one looks closer, another example is number 14 in the list: Bruce Springsteen’s 2007 tour’s original gross at approx. $235+++.+++ brought back to 1996 Dangerous tour era = $177.83++++ = History tour’s $165+++ brought up to 2007’s inflation would = approx. $241.45++++ Or another example: Madonna’s 2012 Sticky & Sweet tour gross of $305+++ brought back to 1996 History tour era inflation = approx. $208+++ while the 1996 History tour’s gross of $165+++ brought up to 2012’s MDNA inflation would = approx. $241.45.

So the wiki inflation calculation for highest grossing is not actually spot on if we were to go into detail with each artist’s year of tour, as the latter tour dates are already going to be in the higher gross bracket due to latter inflation. It is like all the tours on the list would have to be compared calculating inflation against each tour year on the list - in other words, by either bringing thier gross back or forward in years regarding inflation for that time. Similar to what has been done above.

I can't be bothered to do anything like this as haven't time to be honest. However, its just confusing as the calculating is not really in full/true detail! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.111.89 (talk) 06:37, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
