markm Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 She is only playing 1 show at Wembley. I think she was scheduled to play another date but she is struggling to sell out the first show on the 11/9. Hardly surprising when she is charging £160 for seats midway and at the back of the stadium. The seats in the top level are £65. I think bascially she pissed people off with the ridiculous prices and they weren't prepared to pay top dollar to sit at the back of a stadium. She can get away with it in an arena but not in the stadium. The Wembley show has the most expensive prices in Europe. They scrapped the 2nd show and moved it to Lisbon. If she was more realistic with her prices she could have sold out 2 shows but in the current financial climate people were not prepared to part with their dollar. Even when her career was on the skids she played 2 shows at Wembley on the Girlie show tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boytoyville Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 ^ There is absolutly NO confirmed evidence of there EVER being multiple shows planned for Wembely Stadium. There is also absolutely NO evdience that Portugal was EVER planned as a SUBSTITUE show. There doesn't appear to be that many tickets left for the Wembely. If you search on ticket master there are only some shit tickets left for seating in the upper most sections & some GA left. I'm sure it will end up selling out by the time the Show starts up.

I wouldn't even expect the Foo Fighers to sell out Wembeley Stadium if their tickets were 5 dollars. They simply aren't that big enough of an act. I'm sure they just decided to use the venue because it's nice & new & was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find Foo Fighters are now one of the biggest live acts in the world, they "sold out" two shows at wembley, Madonna is doing one.

You MAY be correct however I am sure the promoters planned 2 shows for Wembley. Wembley's offical website even had the date reserved in their diary and nothing has filled 13/9 so far. Nether the less the promoters seriously fucked up the pricing of Wembley £160 to sit at the back of a stadium is a rip off when tickets for other European markets are less. The UK is her 2nd biggest market outside of the US. She grossed big numbers in London on the CT. Paris has 2 shows, the first sold out because there is a big difference in the tickets prices compared to London. She could have easily sold out 2 shows at Wembley. The demand would have been there, they just charged too fucking much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be half empty but it is struggling to sell out. I wonder what she will be thiniking when she walks out on stage on Wembley. Will it cross her mind she is only doing 1 show in London when she normally does multiple shows? Or will she even give a toss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTY PIG Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Im sure it will be weird for her usually doing 5 or 6 shows in London (i think) and this time only one. She shouldnt be so fucking greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boytoyville Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 denial is a bytch Just stating the facts that is all. I can't wait for Box Office scores to come in & prove her gross is higher than CT w/most of the dates being sold out. Maybe then you will stop the madness.

She did 2 shows at Wembley Stadium on WTG tour, 3 on BA and 2 on GS. She could easily have done 2 on this tour if she wasn't so greedy. Does she not realise there is a credit crisis, petrol prices are sky high and property prices are falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the gross for the Wembley stadium show maybe higher than the 8 Wembley arena shows on the CT? How does that help fans who want to see her but are not willing to pay rip off prices to sit at the back of a shitty stadium? Why does it have to be about how much money she made at the box office? Why can't it be about giving something back to the fans for all their loyal support. UK fans have stood by her through thick and thin, its her 2nd biggest market. Seriously, she has pissed a lot of people off who feel she doesn't give shit about her fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may only play to 70,000 instead of 80,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, she has pissed a lot of people off who feel she doesn't give shit about her fans. Personally I could care less. It's those fans "problem" No one is making them go to the concert. I have no issue paying the high prices & getting tix to multiple shows. I personally believe I get what I pay for. Her shows always deliver & I expect it to be an impressive high budget production. I would rather the majority of tix be 350 bucks with an awsome production that most of teh tix be in the 150 dollar range and get a half assed production. Thats how I feel. If people want to go bad enough they will save some money up to but a ticket. It's as simple as that. I'm sure she will end up selling out Wembely or come very close. I mean why play 8 shows at an arena when she could make over half of that total gross from 1. People here are always complaining that she doesn't play new markets, well guess what she only tours for 4 months so she can be with her family & by doing stadiums at a higher costs than moset acts it allows her to do a show with a big budget & allows time for her to go to more & different markets. Some fans are just never going to be happy. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acko Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 She should pull a Bon Jovi..This weekends show at Brussels stadium was flopping..so they had a 'sale' on tickets..all tickets at €25 The people who payed full price were very upset. 'boytoyville' stop acting like Madonna's fan fluffer & pull that cork out of ur arse. & Foo Fighters r huge in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boytoyville Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 ^ I never said the Foo Fighters weren't big inthe UK but lets not be silly & put them on the same level as Madonna.

Titty Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 This is the first Madonna gig since Blonde Ambition that I am not going to see. The thought of going to Wembley Stadium to Madonna as a speck on the horizon is not appealing, if I had managed to get Golden Circle tickets I would have gone but without those tickets it's rather pointless.

Queen Bitch Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The most she's ever played at Wembley Stadium was three nights - I'm sure the Saturday was intended as a second night but they didn't realise that the UKers wouldn't pay £65 to sit on the fifth tier at the back of the stadium. The Girlie Show sold out, despite the backlash at the time because the tickets were of a reasonable price - the economies of scale mean she could have charged a one price ticket (like she used to do) and people sat/stood where they could get. The biggest joke of this tour is that she chose to open in Cardiff and that can't even sell out because the hotels can't cope with demand for rooms from people outside the city.

Queen Bitch Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 UM CAN THEY NOT LOWER THE PRICES NOW OR IS IT TO LATE? They'll be doing a 2 for 1 deal before long and the touts will be giving them away outside on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on the DVD I take your point but the DVD will no doubt be as crap as the one for the CT which is a nice production but totally fails to capture the live event. Bootlegs and youtube clips will be your best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The biggest joke of this tour is that she chose to open in Cardiff and that can't even sell out because the hotels can't cope with demand for rooms from people outside the city. But she sold that out for the Confessions Tour. I think it was a mistake to play two large stadiums (especially one as massive as Wembley) in the same territory (UK), or at least to put them both on sale at the same time. She can get away with it in France, but I am not sure about anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
