tiagol88 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) So i decided to do this. I'm sure a lot of artists are missing from this list, so you will help me to complete it if you wish. My idea is to have a topic that complements the one already existing. You just need to give me the total gross adjusted to 2016/2017's numbers and the overall attendance, plus a link for your source. I will include only tours over 100 million US dollars (after being adjusted) so that's why tours like Loud or ARTRAVE aren't here. After this list is in better shape and more definite, i will do a much better OP. I will do 2 lists: One with the highest adjusted grosses as i've been talking about and another one with the biggest adjusted overall grosses BY ARTIST. This way we'll get a much better look at what tours were actually successful and not just the most expensive ones. Madonna: Sticky & Sweet Tour (2008/2009)- $455.46 million (3,545,899 attendance in 85 shows) Cher: Living Proof: The Farewell Tour (2002/2005) - $320.06 million (+ 2.7 million attendance in 325 shows) Madonna: The MDNA Tour (2012) - $318.38 million (2,212,345 attendance in 88 shows) Cher: Do You Believe? Tour (1999/2000) - $316.29 million (+ 1 million attendance in 121 shows) Celine Dion: Taking Chances World Tour (2008/2009) - $312.80 (+ 1.3 million attendance in 132 shows) Beyoncé: The Formation Tour (2016) - $256 million (2,242,099 attendance in 49 shows) Taylor Swift: The 1989 Tour (2015) - $254.9 million (2,278,647 attendance in 85 shows) Lady Gaga: The Monster Ball (2009/2011) - $242.10 million (+ 2.5 million attendance in 203 shows) Madonna: The Confessions Tour (2006) - $231.31 million (1,209,593 attendance in 60 shows) Beyoncé: Mrs. Carter Show World Tour (2013/2014) - $229.7 million (+ 2 million attendance in 132 shows) Katy Perry: The Prismatic World Tour (2014/2015) - $204.3 million (1,984,503 attendance in 149 shows) Tina Turner: Wildest Dreams (1996/1997) - $193.95 million (??? attendance in 255 shows) Lady Gaga: Born This Way Ball (2012/2013) - 189.08 million (+ 1.7 million in 98 shows) Tina Turner: Twenty Four Seven (2000) - $170.36 (+ 2,400,000 attendance in 121 shows) Madonna: The Rebel Heart Tour (2015/2016) - $169.8 million (1,045,479 attendance in 82 shows) Adele: Live 2016/2017 - $167.7 million (1,548,639 attendance in 107 shows) * Madonna: The Re-Invention Tour (2004) - 158.50 million (896,787 attendance in 56 shows) Taylor Swift: The Red Tour (2013/2014) - $151.95 million (1,702,933 attendance in 86 shows) Tina Turner: Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour (2008/2009) - $147.91 million (??? attendance in 90 shows) Britney Spears: The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009) - $147.13 (+ 1.7 million attendance in 97 shows) Rihanna: Diamonds World Tour (2013) - $145.89 million (+ 1.6 million attendance in 96 shows) Beyoncé: I Am...Tour (2009/2010) - $131.24 million (+ 1 million attendance in 109 shows) Taylor Swift: Speak Now Tour (2011/2012) - $128.31 million (1,642,435 attendance in 111 shows) Tina Turner: Break Every Rule World Tour (1987/1988) - $121.50 million (+ 4 million attendance in 218 shows) Madonna: The Girlie Show (1993) - $116.05 million (??? attendance in 39 shows) Madonna: The Blond Ambition Tour (1990) - $114.94 million (??? attendance in 57 shows) Beyoncé: The Beyoncé Experience (2007) - $103.95 million (??? attendance in 96 shows) Madonna: Drowned World Tour (2000) - $103.88 million (731,606 attendance in 47 shows) * Tour still on the road For now i included tours from Madonna, Cher, Tina Turner, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Adele... Many attendance numbers are not yet here. I'll have to investigate it better. If you know them, say so if you wish. This topic is from all of us and for all of us, so give me more numbers. I'll collect all the data you help me gather here in the OP and in a few days/weeks, i'll do a prettier post. In the long run if this works i might include tours with weaker grosses as well. One step at a time EDIT 1: Added Britney Spears (Circus Tour) and Celine's Taking Chances Tour. On The Run is now out. Edited April 1, 2017 by tiagol88

I will include the others he mentioned though. About On The Run...i will remove it. No need for all this drama. Jesus.

Ari29 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Tina Turner: Break Every Rule Tour. $121.5 million, 4 million attendance, and 218 shows. The tickets must've been super cheap
katykater Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 The difference would be even bigger with ticket price inflation. Back in the day tickets weren't outrageously priced and you could get them at the box office without having to rush for it. It changed in the Internet age when we have to make time for snatching tickets when they put them on sale. So big names jacked up their ticket prices.

And it's more important how many people saw you live, not how much money the tour made. Edited April 1, 2017 by Mariano
katykater Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) 300 million in '99/2000 was an achievement comparable to 500+ million in our times. 200 million in '96 is comparable hard to get as 500+ million in our times. Edited April 1, 2017 by katykater

And it's more important how many people saw you live, not how much money the tour made. I agree with both of you. The problem is it's really hard to even find correct and exact data from the 80's or even 90's in terms of attendance. That was actually my original idea. But i also think rulling out ticket prices is not right. Just an example: Someone might enjoy Madonna more. But if her ticket is 100 dollars and Rihanna is 40 dollars, i'll go see Rih cause i have no money for Madonna. But if their prices were the same, i'd go for Madonna. Their ticket prices do represent their demand. After all ticket prices are about Demand and Supply.
