San Siro tickets trend last 3 days :
08 may - 867 tickets left ( included 274 limited view )
09 may - 711 tickets left ( included 202 limited view )
10 may - now 639 tickets left ( included 152 limited view )
Have you news about Florence? How it is going there?
now the tickets left are : 796 + Prato B 45 = 841
*Flop promotion - Flop CD chart performance - Flop Tour - Flop Era background noises*

Don't worry. The fact that you can still find tickets for all categories doesn't mean it's not selling well, thus risking to be cancelled. They have this policy of putting batches of tickets on sale at intervals. They do with every market to avoid scalping issues. It's like the Milan, Florence and Rome dates: one day you go and there's nothing left or 3 categories on 7 left, the following day there are all catregories available. Yet the 3 Italian gigs have already sold 45,000 tickets each with a stadium capacity of 55,000 on average and a full month to go before she gets to Italy.
Your Vienna show will be just fine

Mariah sponsored Roger Friedman's site, and yet @forbes still doesn't realize the cheap & gossip-oriented journalism? http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/506724-roger-friedman-fox-news-mariah-careys-manager-give-madonna-negative-spin.html
thought it was important for fans here to know why Roger Friedman from Fox News bashes Madonna so much (as well as Tommy Mottola). Apparently, his personal email account has been hacked and this is going around different record companies. I thought it was BS at first, but the personal email accounts are real and the dates seem real, although I didn’t have a lot of time to check everything. Here are some of the juicy details:

Can you believe I’m up this early working. I’m going to be using this email address for our correspondence not my other address. also excuse my spelling and other grammar errors but it’s hard to type on this thing. anyway I hope you are planning to attend the O’Malley event tonight. there will be tons of surprises!

Happy New Year Benny—
As you can tell by my absence, I wasn’t able to make the O’Malley thing because I’m just getting over that virus—you know, the one everybody in NYC has. Mariah was superb on Dick Clark’s special. I just hope she didn’t freeze to death. Anyhow, I’m getting ready to write that hit piece on Tommy Mottola. What should I put in the article, besides the Casablanca thing? I have to submit this tomorrow evening, so please get back to me as soon as possible.

A couple of things you may want to mention-stress mariah’s recent success as well as usher giving him up as well. You may want to mention Thalia (as if anybody knows who she is). Other than that just rip him to shreds!

looking forward to seeing you tonight at the show.
I hear she is going to win at least five awards tonight and one is in a major category. you know she wanted to open the show but the aneroxic whore will instead.
Mariah was upset at first but i told her not to worry since nobody (in the industry at least) cares about the madonna peformance in the first place. Are you going to our celebration party afterwards at Burkles?

Hey there Benny-
You know ahead of time what awards she’s winning — that’s a shocker! By the way, of course I’m going to the party afterwards! I have to do a couple interviews after the show but will certainly go there afterwards. By the way, Madonna is singing “Strung Up” with the Gorillas. They are— get this —dancing with her on stage. I wonder if she is giving them Kaballah water?

nice seeing you at burkle’s.
we are upset but not too upset. I mean, who thought a year ago she would even be nominated.
I hope you received my message about an item page 6 of the NYP is running tomorrow – it’s about Mariah sulking herself in a deep depression in her dressing room after the show. Can you please run a retraction in your column tomorrow.
things are already depressing enough for her today-but this item will make her really angry.

Subject: Corrected Story in This Morning’s Column
Hey there Benny-
You looked sharp in Armani! I hope you read my column this morning where I made the correction. Tell Mariah I said she was absolutely fabulous and stole the show. Did you notice how Vadge—that’s the name they call her now on the Velvet Rope—left the show early. I don’t know one person who cared about her performance except the f****g ancient Kurt Loder. I saw him backstage but nobody seemed to be talking to him. Perhaps he and Martha Quinn—you remember, the slut dj of the eighties who slept with every man in the world to get her job—should just fall of the face of this earth!

speaking of the Velvet Rope, it seems like you have become quite a star there. people keep posting items pretending they are you and they keep getting deleted.

The lady who runs that site—Julie—is a total c***. You know—I used to post there but the site became a waste of time. They constantly harp on me and other professional journalists because they are just so perfect. One of my friends posts there so he keeps me up to date with what is being said about me. I am going to contact a Fox lawyer sooner or later because the stuff they write about me is full of slander.

Rog:
we are getting ready to announce Mariah’s tour dates. they will probably be announced on may 15 (but mariah wants to do it the day after vadge’s tour kicks off).
anyhow, i’m hoping you can go the opening night in miami – August 5 at the American Arlines Arena and possibly review it in your monday morning’s column. if not, she will be playing aug 23 at the garden – but we expect ticket sales to sell really well and have booked aug 24 as well. Tell me which date or dates you want to attend.

Benny—
I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks. I’ll attend one of the dates for sure. Speaking of concerts, did you check out my review of Madonna at Coachella this morning? I wasn’t there— and wouldn’t go there if you paid me to —but had a lot to say about it, including the fact—well maybe not— that she was booed off stage. Someone from Warner Bros. called me about it this morning and was really pissed. I was laughing my ass off!

I am going to try to make Mariah’s opening in Miami. Even if I can’t, just tell me what’s in the show and I’ll write a review of it the next day. But I’m going to try my best. I will definitely be there for all her MSG dates.

I’m going to do a “review” of Madonna’s concert this week at MSG. Madonna’s sheeple refused to give me free tickets last time she toured, so I paid for the tickets myself just so I could trash the show. I think I can get in this time for free though. Be sure to read the details in my column this week.

Subject: Very Serious Matter Here!
Benny-
I didn’t attend the show but did a little negative vibe type thingy in my column this morning. However, I have to be honest with you regarding something I’m very upset about: Somehow, our conversation about my upcoming review got into the media. There was a Chicago radio station—B96 I think—that gossiped how Mariah was upset about her poor ticket sales and hired a gossip columnist to plant in a negative piece about Madonna’s tour. This was last week—before my column even appeared. Dan called me about it this morning and I cooled things down. I’ve received several emails about this as well.
Benny, it is very important that our conversations stay between us. I’m not accusing you of telling anybody or doing anything, but stuff like this can get me in a lot of trouble. You know that I love working with both you and Mariah, but I love my job more than anything.
Because of the suspicion, I cannot do a review of Mariah’s concert dates. I will be more than happy to attend and party with you two, but my discussion of her tour will be very minimal. I hope you understand.

We definitely need to talk. I’m going to give you a call in about 15 minuts.
I understand your positon on this but have to stress that I did NOT say anything to anybody. I agree that it would look bad if you do a review but don’t worry. I talked to Helen at MSNBC -she is going to do an article around the time the tour kicks off.
I can't believe how sick these individuals are. Just trying to trash M at one of her most artistically, commercially and critically fruitful moments in her career, as 2006 was, is in itself pathetic and an evident sign of dumbness

What is this?

Usually, only the first one or two songs are professionally filmed, primarily for news broadcasts - this time we'll have four songs, probably from different segments.

And yet again, we have another set list posted today by Sashal and he writes "this one is rehearsed so far...
but Give it 2 me is not yet rehearsed (so it might be cut out entierly)... Superstar/Vogue Interlude video is not yet made, and it is still a subject of change...might be replaced with Some Girls Video Interlude (like Sorry Remix and Get Stupid Remix) and Superstar/Vogue will be live because they say it sound so great mashed with Vogue, it has Vogue music, Superstar guitar and Vogue rap in the end...
We'll see Boombox who's right very soon (Love Spent is there and it is dance version heavily choreographed morphed into Hung Up),
this is the info from one of the dancers, my ex bf, from Paris..."

I don't mind Music but if she does ROL again she should really perform a different version for a change.

MDNA Tour in Mexico: 3096 tickets avaiable (from 52.000)

People shouldn't expect Madonna to sell out in minutes every time. That just isn't realistic. Her shows are a long way off. She'll have no problem selling out before the shows. She played most of these places last time, which isn't a bad thing, it just means she will sell more slowly but just as well this time. Her prices are high but who knows what everything costs in total. I do think the prices are a bit high but they are so worth it.
A friend of mine spoke with a Live Nation person a few months ago and she said Madonna was committed to focusing mostly on Austalia since she hasn't been there in 20 years and has promised but failed to bring her tour there numerous times.
-
When she's gone, everyone is going to realize just how amazing this woman is. Hell, I barely have a 5 year "career" and I'm already thinking about what's next... The fact that she still CARES enough to do a great album and great tour and delight us with something like the SuperBowl is a GIFT.
Now try and explain that in the UK charts thread
-
Hope that BF will be replaced by BK and BS some times
I agree.
She could leave BF out in favour of a better track either from the past or another MDNA song.
-
This set list is monumental orgasm material!!! Beyond epic!
It is
Love that she's pulling heavily from 1989-1992
And Masterpiece featuring elements of WTG I am sure she's preparing a spectacular finale version of Celebration. Nobody thought Give It To Me would work as the closing number for S&S and instead it did and wonderfully. -
Is that US dollars or Argentine pesos?
(I guess dollars)
-
Argentina Prices
VIP Package - $475
VIP Field - $315
Low and medium stalls - between $200 and $360
Field - $145
High stalls - $90
General - $55
wow

Madonna + MDNA +

That Open Your Heart clip sounds insane!So intense and powerful.
It does

Argentina price range: $55 to $475.
-
It doesn't sound like she is singing that live. Sounds like her vocals have been processed
Well of course it's not live but at least the clips give an idea of how the song or mash-up is going to sound like
-
It would be so cool if she did a Gambler 2012
-
Fake or not they both sound brilliant
If she is indeed going into this direction it's just marvellous. I am sure this tour is going to leave both hardcore fans and the general public pleasantly surprised once again. -

MDNA ALBUM DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)
in ARCHIVE - Madonna
Posted
oooohhh MDNA only sold 100k copies in the UK so far. It's at 40 in the midweeks chart oooohh she's sealing the end of her career oooooohhhhh boooh
Where 100k copies of MDNA = $1m for Madonna (vs $500m)
And anyway as if the younger acts were selling better than she is, all the whining in that thread is just ridiculous and pointless. MDNA top 10 best-selling record year-end worldwide, after 30 years (and no promo)
