Express Yourself 2 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Gagas ticket prices aren't even comparable to the absurd prices Madonna charges her fans. Shes notorious for being overpriced on the road. The people going to Madonna's concerts don't seem to mind seeing that watching Madonna live is worth the price.

Americano 31,061 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 When she kept getting booed for showing up late or doing like 2 songs in France, at her own shows, I think they did mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Congrats to Gaga! 65 out of 65 reported shows sold out. And she's only 26. The Born This Way Ball Tour is bound to gross more than $200 million by the time it concludes in early 2013. And this would be her second consecutive world tour to pull such achievement. Not to mention, she'd be the only solo contemporary artist of this generation to do such thing. :legend: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express Yourself 2 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 All crazy and mind-sick Madonna fans can blindly swim in the poisonous admiration of their star and spam Billboard comment sections, ignoring the fact that Madonna is attracting less and less viewers to her shows, and even her financial results with this tour are worse than her previous tour (though the number of dates is almost the same) You can't really compare the ticket sales of a concert before the financial crisis and a tour after the GFC.Its just not a fair comparison to make in this economy. When she kept getting booed for showing up late or doing like 2 songs in France, at her own shows, I think they did mind. The crowd for 1 smaller show in France counts for the opinion of all the people that went to the other70+ shows does it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial crisis is a complex problem and it didn't spread equally around all the territories in the world. Some places on the planet went through the harsh times, but some could deal with it relatively easy, so dividing all the world into pre-crisis and post-crisis isn't fair, too. You can't write all the problems off towards the financial crisis. Really. There are some other reasons which should be counted, too And as a reply to your second question - no, not only France.

Jellybean Monster 10 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I don't care what anyone says, being #6 in the world when your tour isn't finished and you've sold out all your shows...That's excellent. She is not Madonna, she hasn't been around since like 1983, so I don't really expect her to surpass Madonna tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayCart 8 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 If you take some things into consideration, you may conclude that Madonna earned approximately 140$ per attending person, while GaGa earned 112$. I think asking an average of 140 against 112 from your fans is to be taken into consideration. Makes Madonna look like she's all in for the money, which she obviously is. It isn't all about how much money a tour grossed. It's about how many people you played to, and how much money you pulled out of their pockets. That being said, I believe that Bruce Springsteen truthfully deserves that first place as he got to share his music with 500.000 more attending fans than Madonna, and he only asked approximately 92$ on average. That's how you treat your fans right. Funfact - If Madge asked the same price on average as GaGa, her tour would have grossed 183 million, which would make her tour #3. If GaGa asked what Madonna is asking, considering she would still sell out that way, she could've made 155,6 million which would put her at #4 beating MJ and Coldplay. Funfact 2 - Seeing as how long Madonna's career is and how long GaGa's is, the fact that Madonna only sells about 5000 more tickets per show than GaGa is rather pathethic. GaGa's amount of attendance is at about 77% of what Madonna brings in. If GaGa had all those extra years Madonna did, she would obviously attend more than what Madonna is attending now. Reason being; Madonna is visibly in for the money, doesn't have any connection with her fans and mocks other artists all the time isolating herself. Madge's percentage of attendance when compared to Bruce Springsteen though is only 75%. Bruce gathers 7000+ more fans than Madonna per concert. Queen Bruce Springsteen anyone? He appeals to so much more people. Funfact 3 - If Bruce Springsteen would've asked 140$ average for tickets he would've grossed about 295.000.000, or let's say 280.000.000 (15.000.000 saved by people that don't wanna pay). #1 tour anyone? But hey congrats Madonna you are rich. What are you going to buy? More money to stick into the Red Label Johnny Walker foundation (MDNA in stores now)? But yes GaGa's 400.000 BTW sales cuz of that 1$ action on amazon is so bad! Good thing she has some catchy songs though because her live voice (wait, does Madge even sing it live?) is dreadfull sometimes. /rage i love you! where were you to help me defend gaga in the comments section on that page that this chart was posted aka billboards.com aka madonna fans breeding ground.

SayCart 8 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 and btw why does it say all of her shows so far were sold out, didn't some of the shows only have like 80% and even one where it was almost half, at least that's what i read on the tour information in tours forum.

The tickets could have been sold out, actually. Nobody knows why those people never turned up to the concert, you see besides, it's a special thing with Gaga and with some other artists. When the tickets are sold not directly through Live Nation, they actually sell them first to the re-seller, and the re-seller sells the tickets to the audience. That's why they will be counted as sold-outs, I think ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey everybody! "This is a ranking by box-office gross compiled from Billboard Boxscore data reported between Nov. 9, 2011 and Nov. 13, 2012." - a quote from Yahoo Chart Watch. So, Gaga's Latin America Leg finished on November, 26. That's why we didn't get it by the time this ranking was built Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
