The Police claim third spot on highest grossing tour list

The Police's reunion tour, which ended in New York on Thursday night has become the third biggest-grossing concert tour of all time.

The trio's 151 shows grossed over $358m (€229m), according to Billboard Boxscore.

Only the Rolling Stones' 'A Bigger Bang' outing and U2's 'Vertigo' dates, both between 2005 and 2007, raked in more cash.

The Police began their reunion tour in May, 2007. The trio has shifted more than three million tickets for 146 shows since then.
