not to be rude... but does anybody know what dmb's income is? i know they are up there (obviously) but I've always wondered this.


peace,

nope, and we never will.

No, but Rolling Stone Magazine does a article every year with the top 50 grossing bands of that year, and DMB is nearly always in the top 10. So that gives you an idea

if i understand correctly, that's how much money their tour tickets pull in. it doesn't include album sales or anything of the sort, nor does it take into account how much of the money goes to the band. so it's really more like the "which bands make the most money for their record companies" article.

I think it includes album sales brock. Cause I remember Rolling Stones were the top grossing in 03 because they had a tour, 40 Licks cd release, and 4 Flicks DVD release which collectively raked in mad cash. Ill check on their site and see though cause now Im interested.

That is just Dave though. I remember hearing 75 million for the Band, but that seems a bit high.

They have the Stones and Coldplay to contend with.

coldplay wont top them. the stones might though

Yeah your right, Coldplays not a threat. But the stones have a fall tour, which will sell out practically every show, so I think they will win. I forget about McCartney too, he has a fall tour as well, and his tickets cost mad $$$.

[filmdude100cms]

yeah the stones and paul cost a shit load, it says a lot for DMB though, to be in the top 10 each year and the guys in front to charge at least 2 to 3 times for a ticket thats int he 3rd balcony. but then again $150 a peice for elton john is worth it if you ask me.

[Kahn]

Aren't Coldplay tickets like $80 though?. I can get lawn tix for a DMB concert for like $40. I think Coldplay will out-gross DMB.
