Guest boytoyville Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well...looks like the talks have broken down once again. You never know but per Arthur Fogel, Austraila and North America still not happening. http://www.ticketnews.com/Madonna-extends-...-America1930710 Madonna extends Sticky & Sweet tour but not in North America Latest News Headlines Daily tour recap: Johnny Winter, Tom Jones and more Oscars sue Arizona marketing company over alleged sale of tickets David Archuleta, Bruce Springsteen tickets on sale this weekend Flight of the Conchords tour maps U.S. dates for spring Carolina Panthers revoke PSLs from those who did not buy playoff tickets Leonard Cohen tour plots first U.S. dates for NYC, Coachella Paul McCartney, The Killers and The Cure to headline Coachella Daily tour recap: Leann Rimes, The English Beat and more Ray LaMontagne tour spreads more 'Gossip' around the U.S. Slayer, Marilyn Manson headline second Mayhem Festival Fri, Jan 30th 2009 3:40 pm EST By Bob Grossweiner & Jane Cohen The touring industry is ebullient since Madonna has extended her Sticky & Sweet Tour for a second year, something she has never done. Madonna will perform 24-25 European concerts this summer beginning July 4 in London, ENG and the last one booked so far is on August 20 in Ljubljana, SLO. Paul Oakenfold is the opening act on all of the extended tour dates. Sixteen concert dates have been released, and the London concert is the only repeat market from last year. The rest of the tour will include appearances in cities she has never performed in before, such as Werchter, BEL; Marseille, FRA; Hamburg, GER; Oslo, NOR; Helsinki, FIN; Tallinn, EST; and Ljubljana, SLO; as well as stops in Romania, Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. She has booked a few cities that she has not performed in for more than 15 years, inculding Madrid, SPA; Gothenburg, SWE; and Munich, GER. Shows are to be announced for Bulgaria, Hungary, Russia, Romania and Serbia. Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring/Artist Nation, advised TicketNews that there is "no chance for a North American extension of the tour." "This is a first for me," Madonna said in a statement. "I've never extended a tour before. I'm excited to be going back on the road, visiting places I've never been and returning to places I love." In 2008, the Sticky & Sweet Tour was seen by 2.35 million fans in 58 cities and grossed about $282 million. The tour boasted record-breaking ticket sales everywhere, including 650,000 tickets sold in her series of South American dates; 72,000 tickets at Zurich's Dubendorf Airfield -- the largest audience ever assembled for a show in Switzerland; 75,000 tickets in London and four sell outs in New York's Madison Square Garden (60,364 tickets). "This new run of dates will further solidify Madonna's position as one of the top selling touring artists of all time," added Fogel, the tour producer. And despite reports in the Australian media that four concerts are scheduled for an September/October outing Down Under, Fogel said that there is no validity to the reports. Madonna has only toured Australia once -- back in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrozenLight Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Excellent new schedule. She will have no problem selling out these dates because they are all new markets (London and Manchester are pretty much a no brainer to sell-out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesshot Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I bet she tours in 2010 as well. She is extending this tour to mainly new territories or places she hasn't been in awhile. She is leaving out touring extensively this time around but mark my words, she will tour 2010 with her usual itinerary( Europe, US, probably Japan and Australia next time).

Brisy_Boy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Only European part of the tour was presented... I believe she will surely go to Japan and Australia... I mean... those two country can have more than 20 sold out concerts alone... On Girlie show she sold out 11 Stadium concerts in Australia alone... Plus in Japan she can surely do 3 or 4 cities making it more than 10 concerts in total too... she already did 5 concerts from a Tour in Tokio once... and now that Miles Away was such a big hit there even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afrolito Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 It'll be great for the people who didn't get a chance to see her during the first leg, and i'm sure she will be making quite a few changes to the setlist and overall look. This is Madonna we're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which countries are you referring to? How dare you insult Estonia. Don't you know Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud is the Princess Diana of the Baltics?

Guest thehiltonsuite Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 wow.. ESTONIA? that's just mindblowing.. it and several other dates there aren't going to be big money makers and she's finally playing them.. yeah it's still all about money but the strategy is a bit less greedy this time You better believe it will make huge money.....or she wouldn't even bother. Michael Jackson played Estonia on the HIStory tour to an audience of 70,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_On_Her Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 well Oz was immortalized and got featured in the TGS DVD... *fake english accent* "doesn't she always make it up to you" So because Madonna came here on the TGS and we got a fucking DVD shot here we shouldn't get any more of a look in?? Maybe Madonna should start dissing Italy England and Detroit. Some of you are so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowgli Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Any possible chance she'd come to the US again? I know that's asking way too much.. she definitely owes it to Japan and Aus, I'd be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you are so stupid. well... why are you being so negative yet you want her to go there? reverse psychology? the new millennium was 9 years ago... she tried to be there but some cheap promoters in australia are scared to loose money that's why talks went down... she's not going to lower her price for Aussies... what you Aussies need are top promoters having faith that you guys are willing to pay $600-$700 australian dollars just to see her... she tried and was willing to be there... end of story...

Clearly reading comprehension is not one of your skills. I said that her NOT going to Asia or Australia and NOT changing up the production of the show was lame.
