Wow no album, no promo, even after the 02 disaster that rocks!! 

[BangoSkank]

The blue man group? where the fuck did they come from, i thought they died. ?Also i will be able to rest easy that GNR beat the American Idols muahahaha

[Crowebar]

59 Million dollars is a pretty sweet payday for Axl if you ask me.

Regardless what his operating expenditures are.

I'd say that gives him more than enough deniro to finish the album and also pay for several kickass videos!!!

Right on Axl!!! Good for you man!!!

[AdZ]

59 Million dollars is a pretty sweet payday for Axl if you ask me.

I'm guessing the $59 is the average ticket price.

It is...almost every city was $75 for good seats and $35 for 'not good' seats

It's incorrect though - it doesn't say anything about 59 million. Not including warmup shows they played about 32 North American concerts so that's about 16 million which is good going because that doesn't include the european tour. Bear in mind 16m is obviously a gross figure and doesn't take into account the cost of running the shows.

[LunsJail]

Extremely impressive if you ask me.....so much for "nobody cares about this new GNR"

[Chief]

wow that is pretty damn good!!  I am impressed!!

[KIKO2K6]

Wow no album, no promo, even after the 02 disaster that rocks!!?

Well said.

yeah where the hell did all this $59 million bullshit come from.  the 59 is in the average ticket sales column.

[GNRreunioneventually]

nice  

Axl, if you reed this, please come to Omaha, NE. Thanks or somwhere near by thanks.


CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS......................eventually

[mega_music]

Very good to know the tour made it to the top 10. I say that is a success. Just think what this band could do when the spot light is on them. 2007 should be a very successful year!

[Refused]

Average box office gross (that's BEFORE deductions/expenditure etc) per city:
$500,380
Average ticket price:
$59.42.


Just to clear that up for you all!

[Demon Wolf]

But even so... They played over 70 shows this year, no? Dunno the European prices... But I think they all can afford their rent by now.

[Falcon]

That's an average of around 8400 people at each show..

[King Axl]

What's remarkable, and somewhat disappointing, is that GN'R's tour finished 10th despite the cancellations and very few shows selling out. Could have been top 5 otherwise.

[bazgnr]

That's fantastic news...imagine what the tours will be like once CD is released.

And is it me, or is that a period in the thread title instead of a comma?? I originally looked into the thread because I thought it was $500 gross per show...? ? ?

[chineseblues]

That's an average of around 8400 people at each show..

And with no new album or single out during the tour and little promotion, I think that is still pretty damn good. Imagine what they can do once the album comes out and the major promotion kicks in!
