Candylipsgirl Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Live Nation press release mentions 'special stage' www.madonnalicious.com thanks to david: may 27, 2008 Ticket sales for Madonna's highly anticipated Sticky & Sweet Tour continued to explode throughout Europe and North America, it was confirmed by the tour's producer, Live Nation. The demand for tickets in Paris for Madonna's scheduled September 20th performance was so staggering that a second and final performance has just been announced for September 21st. The Sticky & Sweet Zurich show at the Military Airfield Dubendorf scheduled for August 30th has just glided past the 70,000 mark as Madonna fans buy tickets in record breaking numbers for that show as well as in Vancouver, where Madonna's October 30th performance sold 50,000 tickets in a record breaking 29 minutes. In addition, due to instant sellouts in Toronto at Air Canada Centre on October 18th and Montreal at the Bell Centre on October 22nd, second shows in both markets have been added - October 19th in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre and October 23 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. These new sellout performances add to a list of sellouts that already include three sold out Madison Square Garden shows in New York City on October 6, 7 and 11 and sellouts in Boston and Chicago where a second show October 27th at the United Center will go on sale on June 2nd. Additional Madonna shows on sale this weekend include: Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Atlantic City. The Sticky & Sweet Tour, where Madonna once again joins creative forces with director Jamie King, is expected to surpass her previous sold out Confessions Tour in terms of production, visual enhancement, technology, dancing, singing, costumes and nonstop entertainment. A special stage is being created to showcase Madonna, her band, and a stunning troop of dancers, all of which will give fans a breathtaking never before seen or heard once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Sticky & Sweet Tour is being produced by Live Nation. For complete tour information, news, contests, and more, visit: www.madonna.com or www.livenation.com Thanks to David Portuguese Madonna fans, we are happy to confirm that the 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour will stop at the Parque Bela Vista in Lisbon on September 14, 2008.

Guest kramm Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 nah, there probably wont be a huge spike in sales. i'm curious to see how a non-summer tour will do. granted the ticket prices are lower that CT, but $350 isnt "cheap" by any means.

Supernatural Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 If she can get this thing TELEVISED PROPERLY, that would probably be a nice boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt420 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I do think it will help to steady sales, so HC shouldn't free fall down the charts ie: AL. But 2x platinum seems like a high estimate at this point. I think it may not equal COADF sales....which were damn good all things considered but I do think it will have a similar chart run to COADF. I think 1-1.2 when all is said and done...hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR! Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 With the way that is going on 2nd week sales: Madonna’s Hard Candy (WB) appears to be melting toward 85-90k in its second week, probably good enough for #3 in this age of diminished expectations, though she probably can’t wait to get her act to Live Nation. Another diva, Mariah Carey (Island/IDJ), will likely be next with 80-85k, ^Even Mariah's album is selling at a rate of HC's second week numbers Hard Candy is a , It will be lucky to sell 1 million in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world consists of more than your redneck hick town! US market only...

The thread is about how the album is selling in the USA, STICK to the topic! You are right about the fact that Janet did more promo than Madge. But Hard Candy is not selling as expected even THOUGH it has a top 5 hit with "4 minutes". I think that the single is doing incredibly well but the general public are not rushing to buy the album *FACT* So I think that an album that will struggle to make 1 million can be considered a unless the 2nd single ignites more interest in the album as a whole. But I don't see that happening with GI2M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't see that happening with GI2M. You're right, The topic is US. But, Madonna will pass Janet's sales this week. Janet has not even moved 400,000 units since release. So if Madonna sells a million it's considered a FLOP a la Janet? Please Madonna's has already blown Janet out of the water. And how do you know what the expectations are regarding sales? You work for WB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be rude but there are plenty of 80's has been acts out there touring this summer who play nothing but their 80's hits. Check out Poison...I'm sure Journey is touring again.....oh yeah, Motley Crue is on the road again too, perhaps you can get your nostalgia kicks from them. Madonna hasn't reached that point yet (thank God). She doesn't NEED to rely on her 80's hits to sell her shows out....check back in 20 years.

Guest boytoyville Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I think 2x platnium is still possible but only if she makes a couple televised appearences while on tour in the US & if she gets 30.000= airplay with the next single or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoko Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The tour will not impact sales at all. Never have, so why now? I don't know how the CD will sell because I don't know if Madonna plans any type of promo at all. At the current rate things are going she might hit 850,000 units at most. With some effort she can do 1,000,000 - 1,300,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
