Noise of the Week: Bon Jovi is highest ticket earner of 2010

Bon Jovi have topped the ticket sales for touring acts in 2010. Their Circle The World tour of 2010 scored Bon Jovi over $200 million in ticket sales. The $201.1 million earnings beat out AC/DC and U2 by a huge margin of more than $41 million.

Lady Gaga's Monsters Ball tour netted her $133.6 million in sales (from 138 shows) and Metallica scored $110.1 million. Michael Bublé was the sixth highest-earner, followed by the Walking with Dinosaurs tour, Paul McCartney, the Eagles and Roger Waters rounding out the top ten.

When the list was limited to US ticket sales alone, Bon Jovi was first, followed by Roger Waters, Dave Matthews Band, Bublé and the Eagles. (From Music-News).
