The show begins with a video introduction of five young girls playing inside a house when they find a magic box. Sixteen additional dates in London were eventually added, all selling out within one minute.
Demand was so high that many dates quickly sold out and new dates in London were immediately announced after the first date at The O2 Arena sold out in only 38 seconds. On 30 September, the successful applicants for the Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Vancouver and London concerts were informed of how they could purchase their tickets, via email and text alerts, from valid ticket vendors. Initially eleven dates were announced and spanned North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and South America and fans were informed that they had to pre-register for tickets on the group's website. During the press conference, the group laid out their plans to embark on a world concert tour that would be seen as a celebration of the group's history and to tour as a quintet for the last time. On 28 June 2007, the Spice Girls held a press conference at The O2 in London, formally announcing their intention to reunite as a group, a plan that had long been speculated by the media. The 17-night sellout stand at London's The O2 Arena was the highest-grossing engagement of the year, taking in $33.8 million and drawing 256,647, winning the 2008 Billboard Touring Award for Top Boxscore. The tour was the 8th highest-grossing concert tour of 2008. The tour is estimated to have grossed over US$70 million and produced $107.2 million in ticket sales and merchandising. This tour marked the group's first tour since Christmas in Spiceworld in 1999 and the first as the original five-piece since May 1998, during the Spiceworld Tour. The Return of the Spice Girls Tour was the third concert tour by the British girl group the Spice Girls.
