So what? Madonna GROSSES more than U2 in most markets worldwide that they have both played in. Period.
:
You've yet to accurately list a single case where this is actually true.
Yes.
Ireland is only one small country. I can't believe you're using that as an example
She had never played there before in her career. If she was such a strong drawing artist, stronger than U2, The Police or the Stones, she should have soldout. She played the Slane Castle concert that usually sells out almost every year regardless of who is on the bill. Yet, she fails to sellout with an attendance of only 62,000 when the max capacity of the venue is 78,000. Her Gross was $6.5 million. The Police nearly doubled that gross figure in 2007 with their show at Croke Park. U2 nearly quadrupled it.
Promoters hold back the best seats in the house for scalpers/brokers, VIPs, etc. ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about the concert business knows that. It's a well-known fact.
mmmm, thats what I meant by the fact that sometimes small batches of tickets are released later. Try reading the response first before you answer it.
That's because her ticket prices are HIGHER. Which essentially means, that the shows will take longer to fill up
The tickets that are still available in Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia are $98 DOLLAR TICKETS! These tickets are NOT HIGHER PRICED THAN U2 TICKETS!!!!! In San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, Detroit, and a few other shows, there are tickets as low as $55 DOLLARS available!
Madonna only has one arena show in Philadelphia. Yet, she has FAILED to sellout the show in one of the largest markets in the United States. There is not even a show in the nearby Baltimore/Washington DC market which should make a sellout in Philadelphia even easier. Yet, there are still tickets available at $98 dollars and $55 dollars for an Arena show that is not even selling seats behind the stage!!!!!
No, they weren't. For reasons already stated.
In terms of the tickets made available to the public on the first day of sale, all 3 concerts at the Amsterdam Arena soldout within hours of going on sale. Thousands of fans attempting to get tickets the first day they went on sale were UNABLE TO GET THEM!
No. The GROSS is. For the ONE MILLIONTH TIME.
Arthur Fogal, one of the main promoters at Live Nation does not agree with you.
She still grossed over $8.1 million there. She's hugely popular in that country.
Thats irrelevant to what is being discussed in the case of the Netherlands.
