Guest moboy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The issue is if you go to stubhub.com or ebay.com there are all these tickets for sale, but nearly double or triple the original price. I'm tired of nonfans buying tickets and then selling them on ebay, etc. I can't even get two tickets for Chicago, yet I have bought about 20 copies of Hard Candy.

Guest boytoyville Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 ^ Hopefully another show will go on sale. I am hoping that if it does it will go on sale tomorrow as I have the day off of work & can check the computer periodically to get a second set of tickets.

Good Mariah tickets are hard to get also. Those lambs buy them up, its the nosebleed tickets that are easy to buy at Mariah concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course she is here to please her FANS and people in general. People won't buy something they don't like. No matter who it is. If she was so deluded in thinking that she is making "ART" for "ART" sake then she should have released the album online as a FREE download. If she is going to charge people, and charge them the prices she is, she better fucking hope she is pleasing the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemini1313 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm afraid so. And while there are a lot of pissed ICONERS there are still many nutjobs who think Madonna can do no wrong and think we should stop complaining and accept the seats we get. LOL!! I just imagine many of them are walked all over daily since they can't take truthful criticism of a woman we all wish to walk on water. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================ I AGREE...IN A RECENT INTERVIEW IN THE "CANDYSTORE" ..MADONNA SAID SHE WAS VERY PLEASED THAT HER NEW DEAL WITH LIVE NATION IS 50% OF ALL SALES AS OPPOSED THE 25% THAT WARNER HAVE HER. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF...WHAT THE HELL DIFFERENCE IS IT TO HER ANYWAY? WHTEHR SHE GETS 8 MILLION BUX IN SALES OR 16 MILLION BUX IN SALES. AT THE END OF THE DAY..SHES STILL FILTHY RICH..EITHER WAY......ITS JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET OF HER 300+ MILLIONS. I THINK WHEN U STRIP IT ALL AWAY.....SHE IS A VERY GREEDY ($$$) WOMAN ( note to madonna>>>you are no linger a "girl">>> you are a woman now) IM REALLY PISSED ABOUT THESE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES...AND NOW I HEAR MADONNA MIGHT HAVE A STAKE IN THE WHOLE SCALPER SIDE AS WELL..THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF ...ALTHO..IM STILL GONNA FIGHT FOR TKTS....WINK WINK ....................... LONG LIVE HER MADGE. ==================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisy_Boy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I tried and could not get tickets for TCT... well I decided not to get tickets on the back as those were the only ones I was getting (for London show)... and so I didn't make it... It's hard to pay this money as it's really hard to work for it and to earn it but going to Madonna concert it's a UNIQUE experience! I only went to DWT in Paris (2 concerts) and RIT in Lisbon (2 concerts too) and I can tell you that being hard to get the money to go outside to a Madonna concert I would do it again if I just could get good tickets... By the way... all those tickets are very good... I was at the middle of Bercy at the DWT in Paris... was the best I could get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acko Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Madonna royalty rate is 50 percent? and her warner rate was 25 percent? so that is why she got that 20 million 3-4 album deal in 2000 because her royalty rate went up higher. Janet and the rest should have signed a deal like that. and this is the case i tried to make to alot of clowns around here I think Janet's deal was quoted at a 28% royalty rate.

Guest boytoyville Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I am VERY suprised that a 2nd Chicago date has not been added. I thought for sure it would have been added by today but perhaps they want to continue to see how the other markets in the US do before they add more shows.

Don't you hate when they take forever to add another show? I went through this in 2006 with the Confessions Tour.She scheduled one show in my city,it sold out,but she didn't announce a second show until a few weeks later.I like to get all my tickets on the same day,at the same time. Chicago is a major market for Madonna.I know she could easily sellout three nights there.I wonder what's taking so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet and the rest should have signed a deal like that. and this is the case i tried to make to alot of clowns around here I'm not so sure her royalty rate is now 50% - she simply said it was a 50-50 partnership and that could mean anything. For example, she now gets 90% of her concert revenue (under the new Live Nation deal) and 50% of any licensing profit. She also received $50 million in cash and stock in their company - which makes her a major shareholder and therefore a "partner" of sorts. In fact, as a major shareholder, she could be making money off of Janet Jackson's tour this fall since Janet splits her tour profit with Live Nation. See, she's a smart cookie. Let Mariah have her paltry profit margins on her albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think Janet's deal was quoted at a 28% royalty rate. Not quite... This is from the Los Angeles Times (January 12, 1996) when Janet signed her last big deal with Virgin. I don't think Island Records gave her more for Discipline after coming off the bombs of Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. But sources said Jackson will be paid a $35-million advance upon signing and guaranteed an estimated $5-million advance per album plus a 24% royalty on the retail price of each record sold--about $2.50 per record. Jackson's new deal covers four albums of new material plus a greatest hits compilation. Under the terms of the contract, ownership of the masters to those albums will revert to Jackson seven years after the contract ends. Sources said the agreement also requires Virgin to allocate about $25 million in video production, marketing and promotion costs--a huge amount by industry standards. Virgin will deduct all cash advances from Jackson's portion of the royalties until they are paid off. Sources at Virgin said the company plans to dramatically expand Jackson's presence on the international front, where compact disc sales are still booming. at that last part.

I though they would for sure add it after the auction was over on ticket master for the action tix but perhaps they are going to wait some more. You can't even get a single ticket through ticket master for the Chicago show at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My meeting ran to 10 minutes after 10 am. Then I have another meeting at 10:30 am. I only had like 15 minutes to work with and grabbed the best seats I can during that time period.
