  2. I think the capacity for the GC is up to 10,000 knowing LN they will fill it to the brim.

    As for getting a good spot well I think it will be a bit of a bun fight with all the other gheys.

    Are the stadium shows having a pit? Or is that just for arena shows?

    Tell me about it. You guys in the UK have started dealing with this only in 2008. In Italy we're used to it since DWT. The floor for her 3 Milan arena gigs in June 2001 was an atrocious sweaty mess of queenishly mega proportions.

    Regarding pit areas for her outdoor/stadium gigs in Europe I think Guy said a while ago through Twatter that they were working on something.

  3. I got golden circle for Hyde Park in the icon pre sale

    so it's no too bad. I really wanted to see her in an arena.

    Oh well never mind. There are rumours that if the first Birmingham

    show sells out really quickly they have the 26th on hold and may announce

    a 2nd show. There is definitely room in the schedule between Dublin

    and Vienna.

    I got Golden Circle for Hyde Park but no Early Access ticket unfortunately. EA ticket holders get to enter at 3.30pm while all other GC ticket holders one hour later. From what I've read on here a while ago GC Hyde Park has a 10,000 people capacity? Is that accurate? How many EA tickets did they print? Do you think that with a general GC ticket you can still get a good spot?

  4. Its £190 with booking fee :confused:

    I dont think ive paid over £160 before.

    :shock:

    Yes if I remember correctly since RIT 2004 her top price ticket for an arena show in the UK has always been around £160 (all included). That's £30 more in just 3 years. Now I really do think this tour is going to produce some seriously staggering figures. But you know, we know it's worth it :horn:

    Madge has another record-breaking smash of a tour on the way :inlove:

  5. You're insane.

    This tour will be massively successful and yet you're already diminishing it by putting these absurd expectations on it. She's not competing with U2.

    :lmao: But excuse me who should be her competition in terms of touring figures? female performers?

    I mean Madonna is the only woman who plays at that level of the game in terms of sheer numbers.

    Besides it's a business, competition is a natural element of it. It's not about U2 vs Madonna personally, it's about putting out the best you can put out and rake in the most out of it, all artists are like that.

  6. You're insane.

    This tour will be massively successful and yet you're already diminishing it by putting these absurd expectations on it. She's not competing with U2.

    Diminishing it? Absurd expectations? :blink:

    Are we talking about the same artist with related track record?

    I've just said it's going to be one of the most successfull tours if not the most successfull one ever, judging by how things are developing. Or maybe the problem is that YOU think she can't surpass her previous tour or U2 alltogether :blink:

    Anyway there was nothing diminishing about my post. Don't you think that basically she's playing S&S all over again just in Europe and North America, with dates in at least 2 other continents to be added, chances are she will surely get to the half a billion dollar mark and possibly match 360 by U2? Just saying

  7. This tour may gross 1/2 A BILLION DOLLARS! :dramatic:

    The half a billion dollar threshold will be easily reached, no question about that. So far she's doing almost S&S total number of gigs distributed between Europe and North America alone (it's 9 gigs below S&S total at the moment). That alone is a pretty astounding confirmation of what this tour is shaping up to be: consider that South America and Australasia haven't been announced yet and that she's got slightly pricier tickets this time around (not the top tickets maybe but the average cost), so she's bound to have a higher average gross per date (S&S was $5m per show), plus just look at how many stadium and outdoor gigs she's planned (more than S&S and the number of stadium gigs was pretty impressive even then)

    This tour is destined to rake in between $600m and $800m. She's burning all her contemporaries and the younger artists. And she is a 53 yo woman mother of four doing pop music

    MADGE delivers MDNA delivers THE SHOW of ALL SHOWS :inlove:

  8. With the latest additions of MSG, Birmingham and Kiev so far the tour has an itinerary of 76 dates just Europe and

    North America. S&S 2008/2009 had 85 dates in total. She still has to add Australasia and South America

    At some point there were rumours about South Africa too. MASSIVE TOUR :bow:

  9. Confirmed by Universal Music: Madonna will be performing for the very first time in Colombia! November 29th! I'm gonna EXPLODE :wow:

    I'm happy for you :thumbsup:

    This tour is likely to surpass U2's 360 as the highest-grossing tour ever or at least it's sure bound to move up 2 slots on the current list and become the second highest-grossing tour ever and cementing its highest-grossing tour for a solo artist status

    Wikipedia Highest-grossing tours

  10. I am no touring expert, but I don't know why she hasn't put more of an emphasis on Australia or East Asia? Maybe that is coming in 2013.

    Of course. She's doing almost the same number of shows she did for S&S in total just in Europe and North America. This tour is massive :clap:
