Will Gaga reach $400M tour gross?

Moan moan b---h moan. Shut up. Live Nation care about money, that's all. "It's not about the money, it's about the show" that's nice, the staff at livenation can feed their kids bits of giant castle, then.

Now that pre-emptive strike is out of the way, let's get to the question at hand. With the right sales tactics, performing the correct venues for the location, with the right support act (these have been VERY significant for people like U2 and Madonna in getting high gross) will Gaga reach $400M with either ARTPOP or the 5th Album's tour?

I personally believe that she will, optimistically, of course, if the strategy is correct and she doesn't damage herself.

She's got the ability to perform in stadiums in high profit places (Europe, Asia) and can add the odd stadium for North America, too, like New York. This allows her to get a huge gross by performing just one show. In addition to that, Livenation could strategize with ticket sales and show dates, by having the tour take place during an active album (not after it's fizzled out lol) and milking her popularity in certain areas (Taiwan, Japan).

I mean, if she puts out something with the hype and popularity of TFM, or even a fraction of it, in the future, she could pull in over $400M for a tour.

Simple question, answer it, I don't need a moral lecture about "Money isn't important" because it is.

Because I have an interest in money and how people make it. Strategy is something that's interesting, because, if you look at it, she could've made alot less money with TMB, but she didn't, she made loads, however, with a different strategy, would it have made less or more? I mean, it would've been the same show (2.0) so that's irrelevant.

Also, supporting someone and hoping for their success isn't such a strange concept, is it?

AND, in addition to that, I'd like to know what others think on the subject.

Okay, those are good reasons. It was an honest question on my part ;)

I'm interested in it as well, though I don't really know enough about it. I do know her BTW promotion was a freakin' mess. But I'm quite sure they realized their own mistakes now that it's finally over.

So, yes, I actually do think she'll reach the tour gross. But maybe not with ARTPOP.

Problem is; Gaga has been touring through Europe, NA on and on for the past five years. Don't you think that there will be people that say: No, we're going next time she's here, like people in Mexico for example, did. Also, I think that Gaga should focus her ARTPOP promotion a little bit more WW, she could do a mini-tour on TV programmes in Europe with many viewers (there are enough programmes that about 1/10 of the population watch, and perhaps a little bit more with Gaga in it if it gets milked a lot before the performance, like with Oprah's interview with Armstrong), and not too much in the US. Also, she should use the time she's got right now to start figuring her performances this year, the EMAs, VMAs and Grammys are the most important of them, how will she promote the single AND herself, in a way that her fashion and award-winning does not overshadow her performance, and that the performance makes people want to buy tickets to the next tour, but at the same time makes you want to go to the iTunes store and buy the single?

Anyways, I think that because of the poor planning of the BTWB (in my opinion) the ARTPOP ball will attract much less people who've been to the BTWB too. I mean, she's been world-touring constantly for the past 5 years. And I agree with you that the tour should go on sales around the same time as the album does, and that the tour isn't too long after the album. Not like the Born This Way Ball. Another thing that might be important is promoting her album and ability to perform live in South-America too, a continent that has the potential to make a huge amount of money (look at the Sticky and Sweet tour for example), also, how will she do it in Asia? Do you think that the sales were only good because it was her first time there? Or could Gaga still make that much money there (especially in Japan!). Anyways, I hope that the tickets will be somewhat cheaper for the tour, I think that Gaga's tickets were way too expensive in places like South America making her flop a little. Also, in what order should she do the tour? NA -> SA -> Asia -> Oceania -> Europe -> SouthAfrica -> Middle-East/India? or NA -> Middle-East/India -> Europe -> South-Africa -> Asia -> SA? Or should she skip South-Africa, Middle-East and India and South-America entirely? (breaking her promises she would never do a tour without visiting Latin America again).

It's definitely possible. The longer she's in the game, the more of an icon she will become, resulting in higher demand to see her live.

True, but, isn't it a little bit too soon after ARTPOP? Thing is, if this indeed is the album of her life. How is she going to tour it? She's just gone on a one-year-long world tour, and last time she didn't even sell out in South America, how will it be if she comes back only a year later with a different tour? Will there be more or less people?

Yeah, I was just speaking generally, not necessarily with her next tour. :) it might take her a while, but I'm sure she can manage.
