Spice Girls Make $20 Million Each For London 02 Shows | Geri Halliwell Is A Liar
The Spice Girls have just finished their record breaking shows at the London 02 Arena, and reports are suggesting the girls will have walked away with £10 million ($20 million) each from the 17 date run.
An unnamed source who works for the 02 has made the claim about how much the girls have earnt.
If true, the £50 million collective earnings will be the most of any artist who has ever performed at the former Millennium Dome.
They told The Press Association:
“Barbra Streisand had high ticket prices but only did three nights while Prince did 21 nights but sold tickets for next to nothing. Not many groups can sell out 17 gigs at £75 a ticket, it’s quite an achievement.”
This latest claim about how much the girls are making from the reunion tour is completely at odds with claims that Geri Halliwell made at the beginning of the year. She made it clear that the tour was not a money making exercise, and the girls would be lucky to walk away having broken even.
Yeah, whatever Geri.
As my colleague DNG makes clear on She Plays Music, you’ve got to really REALLY love a group to pay the kind of money the Spice Girls have been charging. We’re talking about £75 ($150) for each ticket, and I baulked at that to even see Led Zeppelin, so you know, the Spice Girls don’t compare.
Good luck to the girls, and to be fair, friends of mine who went to the London gigs all came away satisfied, so it can’t be all bad.
The tour has now moved on to Manchester in the north of England.
