Stones Lick Up $300 Million In Milestone Tour

The Rolling Stones' 2002-03 Licks world tour posted the second-highest gross ever, Billboard Bulletin reports. The tour grossed nearly $300 million and played to more than 3.4 million people, putting it behind only the Stones' marathon Voodoo Lounge stadium tour, which grossed $320 million in 1994-95.

For Licks, the Stones played stadiums, arenas and theaters -- sometimes all three in the same market -- and filled venues to 99% capacity over 116 dates. Billed as the band's 40th-anniversary tour, Licks began Sept. 3, 2002, in Boston, and ended Oct. 2 in Zurich.

"This tour is finished," says tour producer Michael Cohl, but he adds that another may follow in 2005. "I'm always ready."

As previously reported, a comprehensive DVD chronicling the tour, "Four Flicks," is being sold exclusively at Best Buy.

corgi37 3.4 million people? Oh, yeah, the Stones are finished. Not by a long shot mates!!! Mind you, the $300,000,000 compared to VL $320,000,000 is a bit misleading, considering ticket prices must have been at least triple.
