U2 tour is most successful of all time

.
U2’s current 360 tour has officially become the most successful tour of all time. Following Sunday night’s sold-out show at Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo, U2 broke the previous record, held by The Rolling Stones’ Bigger Bang tour which grossed $554 million from 2005 to 2007.
.
U2 has 20 dates remaining on their trek, but when it concludes on July 30th, the tour will have grossed over $700 million. This means the 360 will also set the record for the highest grossing tour of all time. The tour will also have sold over seven million tickets and landed in 110 venues in 30 countries, according to USA Today.
.
U2’s manager Paul McGuinness said, “That dollar figure for the gross looks enormous! Of course I can’t tell you what the net is, but I can tell you that the band spend enormous sums on production for their audience. Fans all over the world agree that a ticket to U2 ‘360′ is good value for money. We’re really proud of this tour and this achievement is great news, coming as we head back into North America.”
