Billboard.com listed Green Day at #9 in the summers "Hot Tours", based on how much money the tours are bringing in. For one week, July 29th - August 7th, the band brought in $1.3 million.

The #1 spot went to Madonna, who brought in $20 million during the same week for her overseas tour. The biggest difference is that Madonna tickets average nearly $140 each, while most Green Day tickets average $40-$60.

In 2005 Green Day made the top list with the full tour bringing in over $90 million. There have been some comments about Green Day playing smaller venues than they played in 2005. That year marked Green Day's debut at huge stadiums across the US, as well as the 100,000+ attendees to the Milton Keynes shows.

Green Day's tour outside the US is set to begin at the end next month. I expect next year to be Green Day's big year touring again. By then they'll have more of their singles/music videos released and lets remember that these tour tickets first went on sale before the album was even released. People who missed the chance to get tickets the first time because they didn't know the band was touring, will be more aware next time around, just as in 2005 after American Idiot was out for a while.
