Total U.S. attendance for all Beatles live dates: 1,158,623. Their largest venue was 55,000+, most quite a bit smaller. They played four venues on their first trip of 1964,(counting Ed Sullivan), and came back between late August and mid-September. Their 65 and 66 tours were limited to the second half of August. If the Beatles played a club gig -every day- from the -moment- George joined until their first US trip, and we allow each venue a 200 capacity,(generous for the situation), and assume each show to be sold out, we get 402,000 attendance for a total of 1,560,623..and of course it's probably more like 1,350,000. Whatever sparse international dates I'm leaving out are very unlikely to get the total attendance anywhere near 2 mil.
