It was only in 1995, that it started to consistently report international figures which would appear in the Billboard Boxscore charts. **For a while, only the mid and year-end top 10 touring acts and top 100 boxscores were reported (same as Pollstar). Billboard only start publishing the top 25 tours from 2001. Edited March 10, 2018 by Travis Bickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViviLittleM Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Some numbers are so false, also a lot of artists are missing I already can say JWT by Lady Gaga is missing from the 2017 list (oh nvm just noticed it's from Billboard Year End when the whole year isn't even complete) Edited March 7, 2018 by ViviLittleM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katamari Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) it seemed like it was much harder to get a show 100 percent sold out back then. Not even legends could do it Grateful Dead fans went in tho Edited March 7, 2018 by Katamari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even legends could do it Grateful Dead fans went in tho Because back in the day you couldn't fake sould-outs like right now. You could literally rent a stadium, have 10 tickets to sell and calling it a sellout since you sold all those 10 tickets available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
