mr_boogiewoogie Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 So it seems tha more then 75000 people attended the show in Hyde Park http://www.examiner....ans-and-critics The numbers that Live Nation submits to Boxscores may end up being lower if they had lower expectations as far as a sell out figure for Hyde Park.
realityisalways Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Sorry to be off topic but I can't open my own thread, does anyone know what goes down in: http://breathlessmadonna.com/index.php I tried becoming a member 87987 times but they always rejected me. I really need my fix of rare photos and I feel they have a lot. Is it like a closed community only for traders?
DIRTY PIG Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 so MDNA is one of the top 5 best selling albums of the year? what a disaster.

HBK-79 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Were there any stands set up for this show? Personally, I love GA. But not every concert-goer likes to do standing-room-only.
Barney Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 http://m.digitalspy....ise-curfew.html Snow Patrol got permission but Madonna didn't/couldnt?! Sort of. The UK's sick of the complaints so lifted the curfew. We cant complain.
iainmdna Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Sort of. The UK's sick of the complaints so lifted the curfew. We cant complain. Shame it wasn't lifted before Madonna arrived.
XXL Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-20055062 Live Nation may end 10-year link with Hyde Park Live Nation may pull out of staging concerts in Hyde Park in London because of a dispute over the tender process. The live music company has filed a letter of complaint to The Royal Parks raising "serious concerns" about the tender and bid process for the new four-year contract up to 2017. It said it is "focusing on alternative venues" while it awaits a decision. Live Nation has brought the likes of Paul Simon, Madonna, Rihanna and Live 8 to Hyde Park over the past decade. It was also responsible for 25 days of events at the London venue as part of the London 2012 Festival supporting the Olympics In July, fans at this year's Hard Rock Calling event were bemused when Bruce Springsteen and Sir Paul McCartney's microphones were switched off during a duet. According to Westminster Council, Live Nation took the decision to end the concert "to comply with their licence". Criticisms The Guardian reported it understood Live Nation had been "highly critical" of The Royal Parks tender document, claiming it did not recognise the complex logistics and costs associated with running big events in a central location in London. It added the complaint letter also highlighted issues such as noise restrictions, crowd safety considerations in shutting off neighbouring Park Lane and unrealistic revenue assumptions. The Royal Parks, a government agency within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport which is managing the tender process, declined to discuss any details until the process was complete.
XXL Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Don't you people miss the wood chips and horse shit
jonski43 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I just don't get why they have to hold her concerts in such crap venues. Wembley is just as bad. It's so big that if you're near the back, the videos are out of time with the sound.
Dr Lecter Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 God Hyde Park is awful. I'm not keen on Wembley. Was so glad I saw S&S at the 02 Arena. She should have done Emirates
markm Posted October 27, 2012 Author Posted October 27, 2012 Yep I don't know why she didn't play Emirates Stadium. I guess they couldn't get a good deal on the venue?
Guest Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 It was because of the Olympics and travelling issues. Duh.
Dr Lecter Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 They did Hyde Park as it was a Live Nation leased venue. Coldplay played Emirates and it was great
find_a_groove Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Don't worry, the next time she's in London she'll most likely play the new Olympic Stadium in Stratford
jonski43 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Having never been there, why is Emirates so good?
