McGraw and Hill's tour of 55 cities began on April 21 in Columbus, Ohio, and ended on September 3 after three consecutive nights at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. In all, they performed 73 shows, of which 53 were sellouts -- including two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York and three at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Before ANY one of you start complaining, you may wanna read this before you post:
McGraw + Hill = 89 million / 73 = 1.22 million / per show
Madonna = 86 million / 34 = 2.53 million / per show

I can't believe some of you are complaining JUST because there's 676 tickets left.
Madonna is the top grosser among all other female acts, what more can you ask for? :square:

$30m more needed and only 5 shows left to be reported. This gonna be close. It all depends on Japan. Wasn´t tickets there extremly expensive. What´s the number of audience there? 100.000 in total?
Tokyo Dome capacity 55,000
Osaka Dome capacity 55,000
All 1st date of each city has sold out. Total tix = 110,000 (2 shows only)
Whereas for Mimi TAOM, she has sold out almost all 5 dates but the total was just 116,000 tix.
Even if all Madonna 2nd dates sold only 10%, it will STILL outsell Mimi

oh sure. that's the first thing I thought. they're gonna go for a lot on ebay. But I mean to the scalpers on the streets, they probably didn't care and were just giving them away in the end.
and damn, your sig picture is making me hungry!
Oh, it's just the ingredient for puttanesca.

Russia Weather Experts Promise Sun Will Shine on Madonna Concert in Moscow
Russian weather experts are to spray the sky above a Moscow stadium so it doesn’t rain on a show by Madonna, The Sunday Times reports. Grey clouds are expected during her concert next Tuesday at the Luzhniki stadium.
But they will be “spiked” in advance by 10 planes spraying chemicals forcing them to release rain before they reach the Russian capital.
The system was originally developed to keep Red Square rallies dry in Soviet times, and was used for the G8 summit.
Meanwhile, security has been stepped up for her first gig in Russia following death threats to her and her two children. As she arrives in Moscow Monday her hotel has been turned into a virtual fortress.

Weather Madonna-fication
A sign of achieving the pinnacle of international pop superstardom, I suppose, is when one has the power to make it rain.
By Fyodor Savintsev, AP
With a billboard advertising the first ever concert of Madonna in Russia, left, and a statue of Lenin, right, in the background, police officers guard an entrance to the Luzhniki stadium, the site of the concert, Moscow on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2006.
That is the power of Madonna, as she makes her first ever concert appearance in Russia tonight. According to a Mosnews.com story, Chris Lamb, manager of the Confessions world tour, said that, "Rain would be an unpleasant occurrence. Madonna will dance a lot during the show and the stage must be dry."
Apparently, Russian weather experts got the message loud and clear. With cloudy skies in the forecast, they plan to deploy 10 planes to spray chemicals above Luzhniki stadium in Moscow in advance of the concert to coax any moisture out of the clouds.
The system had been developed in Soviet times to keep rallies dry in Red Square, and it was also used when Moscow hosted the G8 summit.

Let's see:
Cher - US$200million / 325 dates = US$615,385 / date
Madonna - US$180million / 60 dates = US$3 million / date
Madonna wins!

She should cancel the show!

Madonna Concert Ads Removed From Moscow Streets for Security Reasons
Moscow authorities demanded that cellular provider Vimpelcom remove the billboards featuring ads with the slogan: “Break your way to Madonna concert!” the PRIME-TASS news agency reported Friday.
Chairman of the Moscow city committee for advertising, information and decoration has sent a letter to Vimpelcom asking to change the slogan as it could allegedly be considered as a call for violent action during the concert, the company reported in a press-release.
Vimpelcom said it would replace the billboards despite the fact that they believe that the slogan was not in any way calling for violence.
OMG! She's gonna cancel the show!

...and concertgoers will be given special bracelets.
Hope it will be available on ebay soon!
