It says that there was 103 gigs but only performed 98 in the paragraph but on the side it says 97 and more sites say there was 102 dates so maybe that was the true amount. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.174.255 (talk) 19:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of "acts"[edit]

I believe the names given to the "Acts" of the concerts are complete fabrication. I would like to see some citation of where these names "Snow", "70s" etc came from, as they have never ever been quoted officially. Distant Cousin (talk) 00:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Backin' Britain setlist[edit]

Again, this is completely erroneous. "Backin' Britain" was the name of the documentary on the VHS release that also included the Wembley Stadium concert. This setlist was simply used for the UK stadium shows. Distant Cousin (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New/old version[edit]

Hi, user with IP address starting with 2804:14d. Let's discuss here why you want to revert to the old version of this article, which removes all but 2 cited sources. My issues with the old version is that the overwhelming bulk of its content is completely unsourced, it contains non-neutral words like "monumental" and "fan-favourite" that aren't unsubstantiated, doesn't follow MoS, and has three highly similar setlists that I don't think are necessary to duplicate (the setlist notes already mention the slight differences). I've tried incorporating some of the content from this old version you favour into the current version, but it seems you still object to this version. Is there something in the current article that you feel strongly needs to be removed/replaced? Please discuss it here. Thanks. Bennv3771 (talk) 13:43, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

North American leg -- $93.6 million gross?[edit]

User:Solidandrewsister repeatedly reinserts the claim that the North American leg of the tour grossed $93.6 million in ticket sales. They cite their claim to this Billboard source. However, the cited ref is about the 2007–2008 The Return of the Spice Girls Tour, and states:

The Spice Girls lead the 19 Entertainment roster in gross ticket sales reported to Billboard Boxscore during the past decade. The first performance by the group reported to Boxscore took place on June 15, 1998, and since then, the Girls have grossed some $93.6 million in ticket sales, according to Boxscore.

The "$93.6 million in ticket sales" that Billboard is talking about is the group's ticket sales gross since June 15, 1998, up till May 2008 (when the Billboard article was published). Which would then include both the 1998 Spiceworld tour and the 2007–2008 Return of the Spice Girls Tour. User:Solidandrewsister further claims in this edit summary:

Billboard released the figure on May 2008, three months after The Return of the Spice Girls (TROTSG). But we must take note that the TROTSG figure was released on July 2008. That means Billboard was talking about ONE tour here--the SW98. Because Christmas in Spiceworld in 1999 never made it to North America.

What does "the TROTSG figure was released on July 2008" mean? Billboard updates their Boxscore chart on a weekly basis. And though web archives, we can see that the TROTSG figures were released on the Billboard website (9 April 2008) before May or July 2008. Bennv123 (talk) 10:04, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
