Guest FrozenLight Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yep Zarasota is finally confirmed. Does anyone know how the German, Spanish and Italian dates are selling? It's weird because for Sweden, Norway, France, England, Blegium, Estonia and Finland press released were released quickly. But we haven't heard anything about ticket sales for Munich, Hamburg, Milan, Budapest, Madrid, Barcelona, Marseilles. Are there any guys in the forum who have some information on how those shows are selling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 By the end of the second leg she will have visited Spain's five biggest cities How much Hard Candy has sold in Spain? Around 45,000 (barely GOLD). Which is a freaking embarrassment considering how much she has toured there in the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd how much she's gonna tour this year!! I don't know, but the Spanish market and radio have been so weird the last couple of years. It seems like only Spanish music is popular right now. And the radio barely plays foreign hits. And even if they do, they play extremely old songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny86 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think some Spanish members reported it here that the HC singles were ignored on Spanish radio like the COADF era on US radio. I don't get why she's performing 5 big venues in Spain within a year... Is she trying to make up for RIT & CT ignoring Spain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MForever Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Acts like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Usher, Kayne West... are not very successful in Spain. That sound is not very radio friendly in Spain, so that's why the HC singles were ignored. 45.000 copies is not an embarrasment... the biggest-selling albums last year in Spain sold 80.000 - 100.000 copies and not many international artist sold more than Madonna (Coldplay, Amy Winehouse...).

I doubt that, at this stage, album sales indicate her what countries she can tour or not. They do random polls and economic studies to determinate the demand for an artist show. And all her singles were #1 in the physical chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the sound is the problem then why would Coldplay sell on par with Madonna? They don't sound like Timbaland's production. I still say it is a let down to play for almost 100,000 people in Spain and barely manage to go GOLD. The market must be down pretty bad there.

Nightshade Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Looks like ISRAEL might get Sticky and Sweet... From DrownedMadonna: An Israeli news website just reported that a negotiation is under way for an Israeli stop on the Sticky and Sweet tour, early September, and that this time "it looks closer than ever". It also mention that a hotel reservation was already made for Madonna's entourage. Israeli Site (Article) - If you can read Hebrew I realize Australia is SOL, but maybe Japan could see some love? I'd really like to see her do "Miles Away" there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say it is a let down to play for almost 100,000 people in Spain and barely manage to go GOLD. The market must be down pretty bad there. There are two different topics here: sales and radio support. Hard Candy and all the singles sold OK compared to the 2008 best selling albums in Spain, she has a huge fanbase here. It's true that the sales climate is depressing because albums can enter the Top 50 selling less than 200-300 copies, so Gold is quite an accomplishment. On the other hand, the radio support was minimal because the biggest stations (los 40 principales) usually ignore these R&B/hip-hop hits. There are quite a few exceptions, but as I said earlier, they are not as massive as in the rest of the world. And I don't see what's the problem with Madonna doing so many shows here. She is probably our biggest international act, Spain is a big market and has ignored us in many tours. She owed it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I just thought she'd sell more in a market that has usually given her great sales. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny86 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Two dates canceled, 2nd Manchester date & Hamburg!!!! :confused: http://madonna.com/news/news.php?uid=1153 NEW DATES AND SOME CHANGES OF ITINERARY DUE TO UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND BY FANS For Immediate Release: Friday, April 03, 2009. With record breaking sell outs in London, Brussels, Oslo, Tallinn, Helsinki and Gothenburg, Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet Tour' - 2009- reaffirms Madonna's status as one of the most successful touring artists of all time. Due to unprecedented demand by fans and some logistical scheduling issues, new dates and a few changes have been made in the "Sticky & Sweet" itinerary, it was announced today by Live Nation, the International tour promoter for the entire tour. Following a 70,000 seat sell-out in Werchter, Belgium, a 76,000 seat sell-out in Helsinki Finland on August 6th (the largest show ever in Finland by one artist), 40,000 tickets sell-out for the July show in Oslo, Norway, two sellouts in Gothenburg, Sweden and 72,000 tickets sold out in one day in Tallinn Estonia, the passion of Madonna's fans shows no signs of slowing down for 'Sticky & Sweet 2009.' The Material Girl will be making first time ever stops in Belgium, Udine, Marseille, Oslo, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Slovenia, Budapest, Belgrade, Romania and Bulgaria and is returning to Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza, Gothenburg, London, Manchester and Munich. "If those who took in Madonna's world tour have seen anything as slick, innovative and energetic then please point it out. The choreography, visuals and live talent were world class and mind-blowingly well executed, intelligent and witty," raved England's Independent Newspaper. " In the premiere league of song-and-dance spectaculars, the queen of pop remains unrivalled and undefeated" glowed The Times Madonna's 58 'Sticky & Sweet' shows in 2008 played before 2,350,282 fans and sold over 280 million dollars in tickets.

Nightshade Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 What a shitty day for Madonna. She lost her adoption bid AND she can't sell-out dates in Hamburg or Manchester. Lord, the press is gonna run with this...brace for even more negative press. She should just do shows in Japan and Australia and everyone will forget the failures in these two cities.

Guest Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well, thank God this news are released today because all the press will go crazy about the adoption bid failure and nobody will care about these 2 shows canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daizy1 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think the only shows that were cancelled are the ones that would have been three shows in a row. (Bercy and two Manchester shows, and hamburg right before two Oslo shows) So maybe its not because of poor sales, but pretty exhausting for her to perform three nights in a row? I dont know...

iasonas Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh my god! What a bad day I think we should be really worried she cannot sell out a second arena in Manchester... It's Manchester... And it's an arena... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seems as the reason. I was quite surprised about her doing 3 nights in a raw (twice!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
