Nightshade Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just got a response from ipex saying the australian leg is still definitely going ahead but plans might be changed I.e dates, cities, venues etc. This might mean more cities could be included in the overall schedule. If this is true, I wonder if they are pushing Australia back to make room for South America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Insane Person Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have a feeling she is only doing Brazil before heading her way to Australia as Brazil was originally planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Papi Si. Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 ^ Maybe Argentina too. Glad to hear that Australia is still a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Insane Person Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) So it might just be business as usual than. She was probably originally going to go to Brazil anyway so it prob wud have been just before Australia. Plus if city plans change, there's a chance we could also see an inclusion of Brisbane and Perth on the initiary.

GOD Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Andifeel is also warning that more schedule changes are likely and is urging people to book only refundable or changeable flights and accommodation. Why did they announce dates and sell damn tickets and then change dates? First finalise the itinerary then sell tickets. If she comes to Australia I am seriously considering going there to see her.

Philipandglenn Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 All of the floor and the lower tiers in the US for Confessions were the equivalent of $AUD500 nine years ago. Ipex said that the prices were going to be "the highest ever seen in this country". That record is currently held by The Rolling Stones, who charged $580 for the best tickets. We're not looking at $AUD450 here (that's what we would have been paying for Confessions in 2006) - we're talking at least $600. This is just speculation, of course, but remember that we paid $200 for the best tickets in a stadium in 1993. We'll be seeing her in (relatively) tiny arenas this time around, with a catwalk that basically extends to the back of the floor, so we're going to be paying through the nose.... Wow I can't imagine them selling out if tix are $600 or more each. Joe public simply won't pay that much. No wonder the promoter is nervous about paying up front ( if that's true) do you think the public will pay that sort of money in Australia?yes Rolling Stones charged that for the entire floor and most the lower stands plus the VIP were double that I think. But they also only did one night in each city. For m to sell out multiple nights in each venue at those prices I just can't see that happening. Australians just aren't used to those prices. Maybe if just one concert in each city she could sell out but that's not going to cover the overheads I wouldn't think. Btw I hate to think what the VIP prices are going to be if this is an indication of the normal tix prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iasonas Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I doubt Madonna cares about what an average Australian thinks is a reasonable price. Remember her statement back in 2012? When asked by Newsweek if her tickets will be very pricey this time around, Madonna said her fans should work all year and scrape their money together because she's worth it. "So start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together, and come to my show. I'm worth it."

Yes i do remember this and I agree she doesn't give a rats about the prices. She has also made it clear and she certainly doesn't care about the average Australian (or any Australian for that matter) by not touring here for over 23 years LOL. But that doesn't mean people will buy exorbitantly priced tix (by Australian standards). I'm sure she will care if the arenas are half empty due to tix not selling (meaning she will cancel lol). It will be interesting to see what the final prices are and whether they sell or not as the prices we are talking about atm are all guess work really. time will tell i guess.

apj Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think people will pay outrageous amounts for a legend who hasn't toured here in so long. Many will see it as a once in a lifetime thing. Rolling Stones sold out 7 shows at their prices, over 136,000 tickets. Even if they'd limited it to 2 cities, I think people would have travelled from all over Australia to see them.

Thanks, so no longer Arenas in Sydney & Melbourne in Feb only as we've been hearing? Wonder if this means Perth & Brisbane & stadiums now? If stadiums, they will have to lower the prices alot compared to an Arena tour. Also if stadiums, the shows have to still be in Feb as from March onwards, they are used for sporting events country wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So work all year, scrape the money together, and come to my show. I'm worth it." I definitely think it was a joke besides the bag part. I honestly think she believes $300 purchases are a doable thing for the average person. When you're a millionaire/billionaire you kind of lose touch on stuff like that. It's like when the media ask politicians what's the price of a litre of petrol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It is a bit odd that every other major artist can tour Australia though? I don't get how they can take her tours to South America or even Japan but not Oz. Yeah we get stuck with low rent budgie Minog who no one cares about. .. We need THE QUEEN to tour not the dish scrubbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humanracin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Tasmania is a very cool place. They have really interesting Music Festivals like Dark Mofo and Mona Foma. I'm going down there to see Antony & The Johnsons and The Irrepressibles in June Does Madonna know where Tasmania is or if it even exists… no And some of you people are dreaming if you think that just because she hasn't toured here in years that she can charge whatever she wants and it will sell out. This tour will struggle to sell if the prices are as ludicrous as some people suggest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rachelle of London Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 She needs to do Oz. If Janet can tour Oz three times and her tours only gross 10 quid Madonna can with her $300m+ tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
