With the first leg of her “Rebel Heart Tour” now ended, Madonna has found it difficult at times to match the box office success of her previous tour.

At many of the stops along the 14-concert part of the tour, ticket revenue fell 50 percent below that of 2012’s “MDNA” tour, according to Billboard’s Boxscore data.

For example, at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on Oct. 5 and Oct. 6, Madonna’s two shows grossed $3.4 million — less than half the $7.5 million in tickets she nabbed for two shows at the same arena in 2012.

At a one-night stand at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, Madge sold $1.5 million in tickets for “Rebel Heart” — 48 percent less than the $2.9 million recorded for her only show in the same arena in 2012.

The Material Girl did relatively better in her hometown of Detroit on Oct. 1 — raking in $1.2 million in ticket sales. But that was down 33 percent from the $1.8 million take for a night’s work at the same Joe Louis Arena in 2012.

The fall-off in ticket sales in some cities comes during a relatively healthy year for concerts.

You're so desperate you went out of your to find a pic not even used in the article? :usrs:

For what it's worth - also from the same article;

"It’s not that the “Rebel Heart Tour” has underperformed quality-wise.

Billboard gave the concert four out of five stars, while the UK’s Guardian went all out with five stars for Madonna’s Madison Square Garden performance.

Remarkably, Madonna accounts for 12 of the Top 17 highest-grossing concerts, according to Billboard’s most recent data."

Whispering

Her tickets are cheaper this time, due to several factors. 

She's still doing quite well.

I'm not surprised.

1. The MDNA tour had Superbowl promo.

2. The MDNA tour generated bad press (especially regarding late starts and not enough hits).

3. She has no new hits to draw casual fans.
