Tour 2012

[XXL]

WOW, she does get more beautiful as the years pass...

so true. love the pic from RIT and S&S

CT was the best she ver looked (at 48) great styling and she looked beautiful and fresh, pre-2008

not that she hasn't looked good since then but of course you could tell she started doing more things

It's already good enough that she hasn't gone into more invasive surgical procedures yet

[Apples388]

When you're the Queen of Life that's just the way things roll honey-bunnies. I'm sure the 2012 look will be on fire.

[XXL]

Some of those dates are a bit odd. Why would she go to Tokyo in October and then

go back in December? Also I thought Wembley Stadium was booked out for the Olympics.

She struggled to sell it out on S&S so I doubt she is playing 2 Hyde park dates plus a stadium in

London.

Wembley was sold-out marky

*A FULL 2012 TOUR ITINERARY FROM TRACY* : "Alright I was just given the green light from LiveNation and Madonna to show you something very TOP SECRET!! They said that I can show you how we are currently trying to map out the tour. If I show you this nobody and I mean NOBODY!!! Can show or leak this information to any other website. I was only given the go-ahead to show it on this website ONLY!! Now please keep in mind that this is currently a rough outline we are still trying to book dates. Also the Asian leg could possibly be moved to December as we are considering extending the North American Leg through October. While most of these dates that I am showing you are confirmed we are still in the planning/booking stage. And please keep in mind that all dates shown are subject to change at any moment."

This tour list looks real

You can see by the Hyde Park gigs that were previously announced by London Olympics people and by the Milan and

Paris Stade de France dates that were announced way back in the summer

There was also talk of a second North-American leg and a South American leg in 2013

I see she's doing mostly stadiums all over the place and she's gonna milk the London market

3 dates with huge capacity, 1 stadium and 2 Hyde Park gigs

This tour is gonna be HUGE

A total of 100 dates, in 6 straight months. Madonna has never done this before. It's amazing considering her age and her

children. She's such an extraordinary woman. It says a lot about her energy and the love she has for this job,

committing to something that a 20-year old or 30-year old would find suicidal about at best

[XXL]

DWT $75m

RIT $125m

CT $200m

S&S $400m

Each of them followed 2 years after the previous one (except between DWT and RIT) and doubling the previous tour box

office figure

With this tour she's going for the $1bn mark and no doubt she can succeed, with her average $6m gross per gig,

considering there's already 100 dates in 6 months and that she plans a 2013 extension

She's had the highest grossing tour for a female artist in 2006

The highest grossing tour for a solo artist in 2009

It's only fitting that now she's going to have the highest grossing tour EVER

[markm]

Wembley was sold-out marky

Yes, it sold out eventually. But they pencilled in another show and ended up scrapping it because it took so it took so long for the first

show to sell out. I doubt she will sell out 2 Hyde Park shows and a Wembley

Stadium show in the current economy. The last time she sold out 3 large shows in London was BA tour.

[Guest PatrikEugene]

If this tour list is real, P!nk you better watch out! I've never been to her concert before and if she comes to Zagreb my dream will become reality. I'm so, so, so glad for Australian and Asian fans!

[Guest groovyguy]

At least Australian fans got to see her Girlie Show live but the Asian fans apart from Japanese fans, have never had the chance to see her LIVE.

[Dr Lecter]

Ooh if true. Manchester for me. Prefer an arena setting.

[Guest groovyguy]

So So So Excited!

[Child Inferno]

Hope this is real. Greece awaits her!

[markm]

She really needs to up her game on the next tour. The stage was far too INADEQUATE for stadiums. Something similar

to the Take That Progress tour with a huge catwalk would be much more suitable. She needs to make the audience

feel they are part of the show instead of leaving them feeling like they are in the car park outside the stadium

[rafter69]

i'm just glad most of the north american dates seem to be areanas and not stadiums. although i find that odd that 2 out of 30 are stadiums and why in the places that are chosen?

[Guest]

South America 2013?

[Cal1974]

If this is real she is playing Manchester on my birthday. Cant think of a better way to spend it.

[mtzlplk]

suicidal about at best

ah, the word that i was looking for, looking at how many dates there are in that Tour itinerary... I just wish she has enough energy...

[markm]

Some on M Tribe has come up with a list of why the list of tour dates could be fake

1. In this state of European economy they are scheduling Athens Olympic Stadium?? Hard to believe.

2. Two shows at Hyde Park and additional one in Wembley??

3. Only one arena show in Berlin? (no room for additional dates)

4. Only 3 MSG shows in NY + one in East Rutherford? (no room for additional dates in NY)

5. Only two dates in LA + one in Anaheim (no room for additional LA dates)

6. All arena shows in the US, with exception of two stadium gigs in St. Louis and Indianapolis??? If she was to do stadiums in America again, my guess is that she'd normally go after traditionally safe markets, such as LA, San Francisco or Miami.

7. Only one arena show in Manila, despite all the other Asian dates being stadiums and the huge economic interest to bring Madonna to those markets for the first time. Even some lower-profile performers managed to sell out 50.000 + crowds in Manila, so I can't see the logic behind her performing in a 15.000 seat arena there and bringing all that huge and expensive production to Philippines for just one arena show.

8. No break between legs. No way she's ever gonna pull out a 7-months tour without a break.

[MadFan]

1. In this state of European economy they are scheduling Athens Olympic Stadium?? Hard to believe.

I know right. Can Greece afford to take a shit let alone attend M-Dolla?

[loomer]

[markm]

Just thought she cancelled one of the Manchester shows in S&S and struggled to sell a 2nd date on RIT.

Why do they think they can sell two shows on the next tour? The north of England is really suffering at the moment

from high unemployment and lack of disposable income. Unless she is reducing her ticket prices in certain markets...

I actually asked my sister that... why that 15,000-capacity Coliseum? We have bigger venues than that.... unless it's one night and really really expensive to even garner a profit

MADONNA could easily sellout two dates in the Philippines no matter how expensive she will be...

[Narendra Sen]

Am I the only one who thinks Madonna should perform @ the Olympics? Imagine: the SuperBowl and the Olympics in the same year

[Guest Not4Pussies]

wait, she's playing London on july 30th and then NJ on the 2nd? thats impossible.

if those tour dates are legit she's playing in LA on my b'day.

plus she has spoiled Europe way too much. she gave u guys a second leg of S&S.

let other countries she hasn't played get her this time

She will always spoil Europe with tour dates it's her biggest market outside of the US.

Girl knows where the dollar is.

I wasn't aware of that but I would hardly call that struggling anyway, considering that all of her performances

in Europe in leg 1 were stadiums, sold-out stadiums and that she also played two more packed dates at Wembley Arena

9 months later

By the way 2008 was no less a year of financial crisis than the current times are

When the dates for S&S were announced in Spring 2008, an American journalist was criticising her over her choice

of playing multiple stadium gigs, saying basically that it was foolish on her part to think that she would sell-out

stadiums. I guess he was proven wrong. As it often happens with Madonna. Even in this economy she remains a huge

attraction everywhere in spite of her hefty ticket prices. That's undeniable. But we'll see . . .

I think the reason why it took so long for the Wembley show to sell out was that they basically took the piss with the prices.

They were charging 160 pounds to sit at the back of the stadium and it put a lot of people off. Same thing happened at the two

02 arena shows on round 2. Charging 125 pounds to sit at the back of the arena is a joke. The hardcore fanbase will always cough up the cash. Yes she's Madonna, yes she is a huge attraction

and people are still fascinated by her but there is a limit to what the casual fans will pay. A lot of the UK media have turned on Madonna, They portray her as a rude,

self and aged obsessed control freak. She really needs to do some good PR work for this next album and tour like she did with Confessions. The UK public loved her in that era.

it's tiring just to look at that list, lol

[Get Together]

Personally I do not think its real, why would Tracy say " TOP SECRET!! They said that I can show you how we are currently trying to map out the tour. If I show you this nobody and I mean NOBODY!!! Can show or leak this information to any other website. I was only given the go-ahead to show it on this website ONLY!!" erm she posted it on a fanpage on FACEBOOK! would Madonnas team REALLY do that! Like surely they would create their own Madonna Tour 2012 WEBSITE or even have Guy Oseary tweet something. And if this Tracy actually works for LiveNation then why doesnt she post this on LiveNations website!

Am I the only one that think this is suspicious!?

Exactly. Let's just be patient and wait for EVERYTHING to be released officially. I think we'll save a lot of energy that way.

[Guest ditaluver]

TOP SECRET!! They said that I can show you how we are currently trying to map out the tour. If I show you this nobody and I mean NOBODY!!! Can show or leak this information to any other website. I was only given the go-ahead to show it on this website ONLY!!"

its the fucking dumbest thing ive read. give me a break.

as if anyone (with a brain) is going to believe this

[Guest bluejean]

Exactly. So many people believe it too. Why would Madonna/Live Nation allow this one person to put up this info publicly, yet it's so "top secret" and cannot be shared anywhere else??
