Number of shows

@Lassoboy: Please discuss your change instead of continuously doing edit war. First of all, most of your edits are unsourced. "Take a look at the tour pages" is not a reason as Wikipedia cannot be a source for itself. Second, the "Shows" figures listed here are not the total shows of the tour, only the shows counted directly to the reported gross revenue. For example, Genesis' Invisible Touch Tour numbers cite this Billboard source which stated: Following Saturday night's gig, the Brit band will have played 111 shows in 59 cities in 16 countries, for a total audience of 3.09 million and a reported gross in excess of $60 million. But you changed it blindly to 113 shows. Please stop! Bluesatellite (talk) 08:02, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inflation

For An adjusted list like we do with "Highest Grossing Films" shouldn't the concerts pre-2000 have their gross adjusted based on current day ticket prices? The average ticket price today according to Pollstar is $123 dollars, whereas the top artists avg around 1000 dollars for ticket prices. These should be taken into account for a inflation adjusted list

While I don't think this is an inherently bad idea, it would be pretty difficult to verify how each concert tour would've sold, as prices can vary greatly depending on the artist and the year of their tour. LaughinElf (talk) 02:17, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, just throwing shit out there to see what people think. Never17 (talk) 05:17, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
