Ai Papi Si. Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/madonna-mdna_n_1680467.html (Not sure how they got their figures but figured I'd post) Madonna has taken in $50 million from the first three weeks of her MDNA tour. And with 70 more shows left, the Material Girl is on track to gross more than $450 million from ticket sales alone. This will make her current tour one of the most successful of all time. "This is one of the biggest tours we have seen … ever," one concert promoter told me. "She is playing some of the biggest venues around the world and selling them out ... It’s putting other summer tours, including J.Lo's first tour, to shame. What is so impressive about these numbers is she’s playing far fewer shows than previous tours by the Rolling Stones, Cher and Lady Gaga, and grossing more." U2 holds the current record for the top-grossing tour for its 2009-2011 360° tour, when the band played 110 shows and grossed $736,421,586. The No. 2 record is held by the Rolling Stones, who grossed $558,255,524 in 2006-2007 with the Bigger Bang tour, involving 144 shows. AC/DC stands at No. 3 for the Black Ice world tour, from 2008 to 2010. It appears that Madonna might soon knock AC/DC off that spot. The first 14 MDNA tour concerts all sold out, leading to the massive hauls below. May 31, Tel Aviv, Israel: $4,339,876 June 3-4, 2012 Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: $8,053,500 June 7, Istanbul: $6,219,598 June 12, Rome: $2,835,542 June 14, Milan: $5,624,570 June 16, Florence, Italy: $4,252,680 June 20-21, Barcelona, Spain: 3,893,274 June 24, Coimbra, Portugal: $3,156,022 June 28-30, Berlin: $3,679,378 July 2, Copenhagen, Denmark: $2,980,465 July 4, Gothenburg, Sweden: 4,510,807 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineaspoe Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I usually don't get hung up (hehe) on sales and rankings etc, but I had to click on this. And just reading it made me so excited. If she adds an Asian/Australian leg, she could be number one. Come on, Queen of Life! You can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I feel sooooo blessed that my gay self was drawn to this woman at such a young age. I mean other bitches can claim the title for their faves, but the fact is we really do worship the greatest female pop star to ever grace the face of the earth. She makes me so proud.

The first time I laid eyes on her was the Borderline video. I must've been 6 years old. I was intrigued and have never looked away since. As M fans, we are spoiled rotten with all she's done and I love it. None better ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to give her a hard time and bitch and moan over silly things when it comes to her, but damn like you said we really are spoiled rotten.

Nightshade Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 the Material Girl is on track to gross more than $450 million from ticket sales alone. I am not sure how.
