Fleetwood Mac proves to be one of those
timeless rock acts that can successfully
renew itself decades after its inception.
Thirty years after the group was formed in
London, their new album "The Dance" has
sold more than two million copies and
sparked a reunion tour that resulted in 42
sellouts out of 44 shows in 40 cities
between Sept. 17 and Nov. 30. The total
gross from ticket sales of 767,285 came to
$36,183,224 - an average of $822,346
and 17,438 attendance per show. The
highest grossing stand on the tour was the
Oct. 17-19 shows at California's Irvine
Meadows Amphitheatre. Those three
sellouts drew 46,023 fans who paid
$2,036,485 on tickets ranging from
$22.50 to $125. The highest grossing
single show came near the end of the tour
and is on this week's BOXSCORE chart -
the $1,174,075 total from a 16,164 sellout
at Atlantic City (N.J.) Convention Center
Nov. 29. Tickets there were $25-$100.
