Big, Fat Flop Tour

I love this thread :drama:

Ok since 2012 is drawing to its end, let's do a quick recap of what another amazing year this has been for Madonna and her fans. Aside from having the not so predictable honour of having a top 10 best-selling record worldwide in her 30th year of activity, it's safe to say she will go down in history for having had the biggest tour of 2012 and obviously the second biggest tour for a solo artist (the #1 slot still occupied by Madonna). This is the essential recap for Touring in 2012:

Roger Waters (who let's be frank should not even be considered in the 2012 category since his tour started in 2010)

The Wall Live Tour (2010 - 2013)

217 shows in total

25 shows yet to be reported

$377m raked in so far - $1.9m average gross per date

72 shows actually played in 2012 for a total gross of $130m

Bruce Springsteen

The Wrecking Ball Tour (2012)

87 shows in total

25 shows yet to be reported

$194m raked in so far - $2.4m average gross per date

Lady Gaga

The Born This Way Ball Tour (2012 - 2013)

117 shows in total (where are the other 333 shows Joanne?)

52 shows yet to be reported

$125m raked in so far - $1.9m average gross per date

Madonna

The MDNA Tour (2012)

88 shows in total

14 shows yet to be reported

$233m raked in so far - $3.2m average gross per date

Do the Math :madgemanson:

This tour is so successful yet it is puzzling me why some people are considering it to be a failure. Is it because of that stupid outburst by Elton John where he said her tour was a disaster that went both viral and global ? All I know, is wait for the Forbes biggest money-earners next year. I would like to put a bet on Madonna being the highest paid entertainer. She is killing them with these concerts. Bravo Madonna.

Forbes are just sooo bad and wrong most of the time.

Tour + album + gyms + perfums + etc...she would always end up at #1...but you can bet they are gonna have Gaga there or J Lo like this year LOOL!
