Numbers went down after CD was released but then again ticket prices went up by about 35%. Looks like they have their repeat audience in the bag.

2.6 million $s for 14 shows? I'm surprised that Axl is still interested in touring the same show for the zillionth time. I expected a higher sum, although with this attendance, you really cannot have more.

those 14 shows were played in small theatres...thus, the UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL tour as it was called. I don't think they did that one to make money...not at all. I think they actually did it for fun and for the hardcores.
Re: North American Tour Stats for new Gnr
They also have a sizable overhead with the usual stage production.
The Azoff complaint mentioned Guns earned around $12,5 Million for the early 2009-10 tour legs. With some 32 shows, they average at $400,000 in revenues, which, I assume, includes merch.
Axl complains all managers want to scale things down by (for example) cutting it down to one tour bus. If the boss could be arsed to travel with the band, the band might be looking at earning additional hundreds of thousands of dollars per show.
The Vegas thing is pretty much a god-send from a business point of view, given they got a good deal. In theory, the overhead is radically reduced along with travelling costs, the public exposure is there, this would be a time to aggressively sell the new band with new (yes, NEW) music.
Then they call it Appetite for Democracy and we cross fingers that Axl strolls into a local recording studio, or at least, saves up the dough in the band war chest.
It's a nice job, if you can get it.
