mtzlplk Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 ^ Missed the point again. lol. This has nothing to do with me defending myu Queen lol, it has to do with actually knowing how concert numbers are tabulated & clearly you know nothing about it.....

notsomuch Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Most people on this board with the point entirely and do not have a clue.

HolidayGuy Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There will be a bunch reported in the same week, so she'll likely dominate the top 10. All about promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 There will be a bunch reported in the same week, so she'll likely dominate the top 10. All about promo. I am beginning to think that ALL of the European shows will be announced in one Boxscore (maybe next week). That'll be KILLER - she could very well dominate the entire Top 20 at this rate.

Gutten Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It was the same thing Mooriah 2 years ago. Madonna would sell out an arena 15 000 and Moo would sell out the same venue with 11 000. That's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madonna would sell out an arena 15 000 and Moo would sell out the same venue with 11 000. That's weird. Mariah had a bigger stage. Also, when a show is soldout and the demand is high they release tickets on the sides of the stage. Those tickets are horrible. You pretty much just go to hear the music. They typically release those ticket for Madonna due to high demand. For Mariah, they don't do that since her shows are typically just close to being sold-out.
