Comparison of money from tours

[vermicious knid]

I was looking at the pollstar data of Stevie's tours, and it made me want to figure out which had the best average intake per show. I adjusted pollstar's data for inflation, putting the money from each year into 2005 dollars.

Per-show Average
Wild Heart (1983).........................$262,000
Rock a Little (1986)......................$284,000
Other Side of the Mirror (1989).......$249,000
Whole Lotta Trouble (1991)............$198,000
Street Angel (1994)......................$148,000
Enchanted (1998).........................$277,000
Trouble in Shangri-La (2001)...........$425,000

This surprised me. Can you believe how much the 2001 tour leads the pack? I could not find data for the 1981 tour or the 2005 tour.

I think Shangri La is when Stevie got the influx of newer fans because of the Dance, then Enchanted. I mean, I think it took hold then. If you'll notice some of the youngens on here, and even some regular age people say they got into Mac heavily from The Dance. Also, Trouble had new material, Enchanted didn't. Although I'm not sure if that is really a factor.

You'd need to adjust these for inflation:

July 16, 1977 - Lexington KY (Rupp Arena) - $157,001 (20,934 tickets sold)

August 27, 1977 - Tucson AZ (University of AZ Stadium) - Raised $260,000 for the American Heart Association

November 28, 1981 - Houston TX - $99,164 (8,613 tickets sold)
November 29, 1981 - Dallas TX - $114,023 (9,915 tickets sold)
December 1, 1981 - Boulder CO - $77,021 (6,556 tickets sold)
December 3, 1981 - Oakland CA - $105,637 (10,193 tickets sold)
December 5, 1981 - Tempe AZ - $129,497 (14,261 tickets sold)

Thank you. As a grad student, they've brainwashed me to notice these details, too. I'd love to know how many tickets she's sold each tour. I think that's a better measure. Though, I'll admit that I'm a newbie as of TISL, so I know that some of us are pushing up the tix sales....

I used the tour archives section of http://www.bellaillume.com/

I used this inflation calculator.

This is how much she took home personally from each show then?

[AliceLover]

They don't even have all the dates on pollstar......how can they can the right right amount?

I don't care what Stevie makes, She earned it all.
