Msig Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 But read my post above, the Brussels number is fake as hell. It's not even a technical sellout. It is! One thing is the maximum capacity of the venue, in this case 42,000. Another thing is how many tickets Live Nation expected to sell, as reported to Billboard before ticket sales started. If that figure is met, the show is rightfully reported as a sellout, regardless of the actual capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that Live Nation declared 42,000 as the sold out figure? Who told you that? Also, what do you mean by technical sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_boogiewoogie Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 LN. You obviously have a prejudice that makes it difficult for you to accept how things work in the touring business. It's fine by me if you believe that the numbers are fake just to please investors. No problem about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msig Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 How do you know that Live Nation declared 42,000 as the sold out figure? He doesn't! He only knows that Live Nation confirmed 42,000 as the maximum capacity, but as you explained yourself, the actual capacity has nothing to do with the technical sellout.

So they could hire a stadium that holds 100,000 say they expect to sell 1000 and if they sell 1000 they can say it's a sell out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no....a TECHNICAL sell out. Fan: 'Hi, I'd like 2 buy a few tickets for the Madonna concert.'

MForever Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So they could hire a stadium that holds 100,000 say they expect to sell 1000 and if they sell 1000 they can say it's a sell out? This is an exaggerated example and not realistic. But of course, if they obtain benefits selling those 1000 tickets, they can hire whatever they want. These boxscore numbers are the expected attendance, that's all. They are not equal to the maximum capacity, they represent the expected benefits. These are their rules. You can like them or not, but they are what they are. Debating them is as useless as debating whether the gold certificate should be 400.000 copies instead of 500.000. It's only a reference. And let's not forget that the contrary might happen. It is not the first time that the attendance reported by the media is superior to the numbers included in the boxscores.

XXL Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Didn't they say that the MDNA Tour will wrap up in South America in December when they announced that Australia was scrapped? That pretty much says it all to me. I have a feeling she won't want to do another 2-leg mammoth tour like Sticky this time around. That one was very much a one-off. It may seem so because that tour had "a first and second leg" and a six months gap between the two but actually in terms of length she's already outdone S&S. Between its first and second leg S&S had a total run of 6 months. The timing and scheduling on this one was conceived differently but with MDNA she's touring for 7 consecutive months. First time ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msig Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 with MDNA she's touring for 7 consecutive months. First time ever. I would NEVER have agreed to this! As I've said many times before, both here and in other forums, where I've been active since 2003, I think it would be better for M to take a one-month break after each leg, in order to relax/recover and maybe do some minor tweaks to the show in terms of setlist and costumes.
