The Stones posted more than a half a billion dollars in sales the ABB tour according to Billboard.
More than 4.6 million people paid to see the Stones on the ABB tour. That doesn't count the 1 million + people who saw them in Rio.
All in all it appears the Stones were not playing to "Wide Open" stadiums around the world.
Not bad for a bunch of guys pushing 70.

I wonder if Keith keeps track of his money? I really can't picture him going to the bank..

That's an awful lot of money. Even though that's not net for the Stones themselves, they're comfortable.

The fact they made so much money, and delivered a few half ass shows, is the reason I'm done going to their shows...

I'll cut back too but I'll probably still do Chicago Summit if it happens. It's more about the friendship than the band, frankly.

I'll pony up the bread for all new concerts, albums, DVDs, documentaries, books...
I have emotional problems and the Stones are the only cure.
