Tour Schedule & Sold Out Shows (artRave) - $83M tour gross / 74 shows

This. She did TWO stadium dates last time. She can definitely do at LEAST one or two more shows at the O2.

but she has Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, New Castle, and sheffield show rn, I don't think so if she do the 4th Show at O2 London. But it's fantastic if she add London 4th Dates, Aberdeen, Leeds, And Liverpool in 2015

i open the webpage and I saw the concert schedule number increased to 79, when I check back, it turns out there is a new schedule, which is in Auckland and Anaheim. but after I refresh again, all of the new schedule that i saw is lost. But I'm sure Gaga will going to Anaheim and auckland. some time ago, they also add Israel on 13 September in the list, but sometimes disappeared, and sometimes reappeared again. but the fact that she will come to Israel. Let's wait until the official announcement

Probably fake, this is too late to add new dates in the US.

 

Wikipedia is not a good source sometimes.

Its clear that the tour isnt doing well in Australia. Even before that post, I saw people talking about how strange was that the first dates in Sydney and Melbourne sold out in one day, after they didnt in 4 months. I dont know if that guy really has information from Ticketek, but selling less than 1000 tickets for the second dates based on how the other dates sold isnt hard to believe.

 

 

South Africa isnt a place where is the demand for shows on every tour. BTWB did good there, but thats all. The box offices werent out of this world.

 

She wasnt in Poland with TMB? I think that its the right move to stay away from Eastern Europe. She didnt have a hit from too much time in the region.

Agreed. It was a great choice to go to South Africa with the BTWB, but right now it wouldn't be considering ARTPOP wasn't a big era there and it's basically useless to perform in South Africa in arenas, because that way you don't get the invested money back.

 

And it wouldn't even surprise me if the Australian dates were actually selling that badly. We already knew that Melbourne was doing better than Sydney, and that Perth and Brisbane are doing terrible. And we also know that the second dates in Melbourne and Sydney are unlikely to sell out unless she somehow promotes there.

ooh I love that screen shot. lol It has all my remaining shows on it - all the Aussie ones plus Dallas, Vegas and LA. haha

 

Well it'd be nice if she does go to Auckland, but I'm not sure she will.

I could edit in an extra 100 stadium dates on Wikipedia if I wanted to. You could, too. Basically anyone can. But it'll be removed when there aren't enough sources.

Most of us knew that the Israel date was very likely to happen on 13 September. Some media outlets have been hyping it for quite some time already, but oh well.

 

 

It'd be great if she added a date in Adelaide and went to promote there. She could perform on some talent show or have a small commercial during the FIFA World Cup and the shows would instantly sell out

I really can't believe only 500 and 750 tix sold for the second two shows in Aus though. Well I mean she sold the 40 (20 at each show) most expensive tickets already. hehe Plus i know some other people who bought LMZ tix for the second Melb show....and i bought LMZ for the second Syd show. lol In Melb best A res it's giving me is row E - which is the 5th row, but that means they have pretty much sold at least the first 4 rows in A reserve and I'm sure there's gotta be at least 500 seats in those rows combined already. I mean I know this arena so well - I go to the Aussie Open tennis there every year and in the first rows the number of seats is over 200, but then obviously taking into account the stage is gonna take away seats from that....but still there has to be more than 500 tix sold fof the second Melb show.

 

It also seems that most of the first 4 rows of the upper section are sold coz it's giving me seats in DD for C res. I mean I'm not denying that the sales are sh*t, but I just don't think they are *quite* as bad as 500 and 750.

 

I actually wonder how much it costs to hire the venue. I mean everything's already gonna be set up from the night before...

I've read before that the Stade de France costs 3~5M EUR to rent... but an arena must be less... perhaps like $200~500k?

 $200k for a few hours? That sounds expensive still, but I have no idea.

 

haha I googled cost to hire RLA and Wikipedia gave me this:

 

The arena is frequently used as a venue for music concerts.

American singer P!nk performed a record breaking 18 concerts at the venue in the summer of 2013 with her Truth About Love Tour, beating her own record of 17 shows from the Funhouse Tour in 2009.[7] She is currently the artist who hold the record for most shows at the venue. Pop superstar Katy Perry is set to perform 8 shows at the arena as part of her Prismatic World Tour.

Lady Gaga has also performed at this venue multiple times. She performed as the opening act for the Doll Domination Tour on March 26 & 27 in 2009. She performed here in 2010 on March 23, 24 & April April 9 as part of her The Monster Ball Tour and in 2012 on June 27, 28, 30 & July 1,3 as part of her Born This Way Ball and is set to bring her ArtRave: The ARTPOP Ball to the venue on August 23, 2014. Another date was added on the May 22, for August 24, 2014 due to high demand.

 

hehe Gags gets her own paragraph. ;) Didn't actually give me anything useful on cost though.

ooh just found this article: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/high-prices-are-music-to-everyones-ears-except-fans-20130107-2ccuq.html about a breakdown of costs per ticket. ie what the money you spend on your ticket is actually for. They used a $150 ticket as an example and they said about $24 of that would go into the hiring of the venue. So it probably would be about $250k if you're looking at around 10,000 tickets sold (I think that's the number they were basing the figures from).

Nice find! And that's quite interesting if it is real

I mean obviously it can vary, but yeah I think it's a good guide. It's based on Australian figures of course. I think it would be reasonably accurate. I'm not sure how reliable the Sydney Morning Herald is - I'm from Melbourne but I think the figures are believable at least.
