magicomg 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Live Nation stated that a little less than 200,000 tickets will be refunded for the 21 canceled concerts. That means that Gaga has sold an average of 9,500 tickets per concert in arenas which could contain an average between 13,000 and 15,000 seats. Live Nation has also mentioned that the 21 canceled concerts have reported about $25 million, which represents an average of $1,19 million per concert, which is below the American leg's average concert gross of the Monster Ball Tour. Let compare the Billboard's numbers for the first five concerts in North America with other pop artists. Lady Gaga Justin Bieber Tacoma Dome Tacome Dome 14,185 20,259 Lady Gaga Justin Bieber Rose Garden Rose Garden 8,853 14,550 Lady Gaga Madonna HP Pavilion HP Pavilion 11,465 25,907 (12,950 per show) I also had the chance to attend the final concert of Gaga in Montreal, which was amazing. But here too, Gaga could not completely fill the arena. According to the Journal de Montréal (Montreal's biggest newspaper), there was exactly 13,650 people at the concert at the Bell Centre. The Bell Centre is the biggest indoor arena in Canada and the second biggest in North America, it can easily hold 17,000 people in a stage configuration like Gaga. Lady Gaga Justin Bieber Madonna Bell Centre Bell Centre Bell Centre 13,650 15,870 16,918 (This is a picture I took at the Montreal's Bell Centre exactly at 9:12 pm, the show started 6 minutes later at 9:18 pm. You can easily see the empty red seats on the left and right. You can also notice the lack of people in the bottom of the Floor/General Admission.) I wish to say that this post is not to disparage Gaga but I like to be objective and may also show a large part of the decision to cancel completely the rest of the tour. http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2013/02/11/lady-gaga-nous-en-fait-voir-de-toutes-les-couleurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyaKara 2,281 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This isn't true, because many fans aren't refunding their tickets. A lot of them are choosing to keep them for memories of what could have been & for their respective events, such as the NYC frame-project that was done yesterday. :yes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hell0samuel 59 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 okay i must say i agree it would not have been incredibly successful, but was not the reason the tour was cancelled. she wouldnt fake/over react an injury, even if she had sold 5 tickets in a 50,000 seat stadium. She wouldnt have allowed it to be for that reason. I think the reason was because she has been out of the public over a year, not had any material out for a while, was too risky. This is why the tour shouldnt be re-shcheduled, people wont buy tickets lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klou 2,414 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Gaga wasn't even on stage yet in your picture. I was at the LA show and people didn't start completely filling the seats until she came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you refund your tickets, you can keep it.. It is just the money you have back. Gaga wasn't even on stage yet in your picture. I was at the LA show and people didn't start completely filling the seats until she came on. Every places is different, we are in a French mentality city, people wait until 8:30 to start the show, not like in LA where people come late at the last minute.

7Days 7 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 What if the tour wasn't profitable and they choosed to cancel it and the hip surgery is fake and made up to cover the cancellation...and Gaga is in vacation in Hawaii drinking beer on the beach joking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicomg 0 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 i think we have a madonna stan in the house y'all So why she sold only 13,650 tickets in a 17,000 seats capacity for stage configuration like that ? Numbers talk by themself.. Yes I'm also a Madonna fan but I admit she fkg flopped her too in Europe, so be a little objective please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
