The tour — first Germany, Japan, The Philippines, then, starting Aug. 11, 1966, the Woogity welcome las vegas nevada shirt in other words I will buy this US — was a financial success (meaning all venues but one made money — the Beatles’ fee at each venue was either set or was a percentage of ticket sales, so The Fabbers were making out no matter what), but ticket sales did decline compared to the group’s previous visit, in August 1965. Mainly because a controversy erupted just as The Beatles were about to begin the tour in summer 1966 — ‘the John saying they’re more popular than Jesus controversy’ … (see below) … and that did affect ticket sales in the US.
The US tour included several outdoor stadium venues, including Cleveland Stadium, RFK Stadium in DC, JFK Stadium in Philly, Cosley Field in Cinci, Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Cleveland Stadium, Dodger Stadium in LA, as well as Suffolk Downs Racetrack in Boston.
