  1. How much was the total cost of the tour so far then? If someone could tell me the number of total touring days (all the days that cause expenses) that would do too.
  2. Some other stats not dollar-related so far for the tour:

    *First post -TUF tour not to feature Bullet
    *First time Pride has hit the top of the most played songs
    *Beautiful Day first song from the 2000's to crack the top 20 most played songs
    *First tour since the 1980's to feature 4 TUF songs
    *First tour since the TUF tour to feature so few songs from the new album (7).
    *And as I've said numerous times before, first tour not to feature Boy
  3. There's some impressive numbers there, but I think all the talk of 'records' is reaching a little. They set records because, largely, they were able to sell more seats due to the set design. Btw, did anyone notice the low average ticket price in Toronto? That's what happens when you comp a ridiculous number of tickets to the undeserving.

    I do wonder though, what the net profits are, if any. This is one very expensive show to keep on the road.
  4. The costs were $ 750.000 per day, wether they play or not. During the second leg somewhere break even.


  5. Same as Zooropa, but that one only have 10 songs on it.

    So far. The next show can invalidate most points above

    Actually, I don't see this as a problem...I like the NLOTH songs they have played till now, and I belive they choose the "right" ones. The problem, in my opinion, is the small number of "different" songs they played...They haven't played one song from Boy, Pop and Just one song from Zooropa...
  9. epic stats.

    I didn't say it was a problem. I just offered it up as an interesting, yet meaningless stat. I do agree with you on the "number" of songs played. I guess we wait until the end of the tour to properly review this.

    You've got me there. Only I classify Zooropa as not really having a tour of its own in the way AB did. ZooTV was a showcase for AB, not so much Zooropa.

    Zooropa had its own tour, called Zooropa In Europe, and Zoomerang in Australian area.
    Of course, it was an extension of Zoo TV, but officially a different tour.
