There has been talk for a Spice Girls reunion for a year or two now, with debate on whether or not a reunion tour would be profitable at all. However, past reunion tours would suggest it would be.
For example, the NKOTBSB reunion tour earned sizable profits, grossing over $40 million with 51 shows last year. Likewise, if the past is any indicator of the future, the smaller 2007/2008 Spice Girls reunion tour grossed a reported $70 million, suggesting that a larger, more publicized tour would do quite well.
Ray Waddell, Billboard Magazine employee, says that at least two decades is the ideal time to wait when beginning to market nostalgia.
"When seeking to tap into nostalgia for teens, 20 years gives those original fans time to grow up [and] get married...plus there is hopefully a little more discretionary income available," Waddell told to eonline.

One thing I know, if a tour is announced, I'll be in line for tickets.
