No wonder she won’t settle down. There’s gold in them there auditoriums! Barbra Streisand’s tour raked in the second most cash in 2006; beat only by the Rolling Stones.
The Rolling Stones' ''A Bigger Bang'' tour, which actually began in the fall of 2005, led all other concert tours this year with $138.5 million in gross receipts. The average Stones ticket was $136.63. The tour sold about 1.01 million tickets.
Streisand's tour ranked second, generating $92.5 million in gross sales, with the average ticket price at $298.36.
Not to be outdone: Miss Madonna came in fourth with $85.9 million.
And super-gay Elton John pulled up the rear, so to speak with a healthy $48.9 million.
Not all the tours that pulled in hefty gross ticket sales were put on by individual touring artists. The Cirque Du Soleil ''Delirium'' tour generated $82.1 million, while Trans-Siberian Orchestra earned $37.3 million. Another extravaganza, the ''American Idols Live'' tour, pulled in $35 million.
