Nikki Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 When are you jokers gonna realise that without the "general public" there will BE NO MADONNA TOURS? What's that she said about the possibility of a fan-oriented b-sides/rare tracks tour? "Who's gonna pay my overheads" That about sums it up. Keep slavishly nodding your heads to... Body Shop tango version, while the rest of the world jumps and sings to Holiday and Like a Prayer. thats what I keep saying!! I'm fine with BODY SHOP (I love it) or a few songs performed by her but at least 60% has to be hits or songs in the range of WTG and Dress You Up so people know it. otherwise she's gonna have to play small amphitheatres soon, and not even everywhere, just in the main cities. its fun to have M be proud of her new work and only play that, but then WHY include shit like revolver that no one likes anyway? maybe she can do an "anti tour" or whatever its called when she wants to play theatres or small arenas and not have a big production. but it's a bit of a contrast to play just a few well known songs and other unknown songs (to the GP) when youre doing a WW tour as a pop artist.

Nikki Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 and honestly no one except for some hardcore fans here want a song like Bitch Im Madonna open the tour or even get attention, just saying.. iconic MAYBE could work when its mixed the right way with a song that's a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is it true London night 2 still has more tickets available than have been sold? OOPS. Yeah, who needs the songs that made Madonna....Madonna.The floor seats have all sold but there are seats still available in level 1 by the stage. Level 4 doesn't seem to be shifting at all. Thankfully they didn't add a third show otherwise we'd be facing a cancelled show due to "logistical problem". This tour needs good word of mouth and some great first reviews.

Kim Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 and honestly no one except for some hardcore fans here want a song like Bitch Im Madonna open the tour or even get attention, just saying.. The criticism here is aimed at those dumb fans who think this is 2001 and people are lining up to see Madge read the phonebook in concert. Those days are gone. She is breaking out the old tunes by all accounts this time because she, unlike them, realises that's what needs to be done. The floor seats have all sold but there are seats still available in level 1 by the stage. Level 4 doesn't seem to be shifting at all. Thankfully they didn't add a third show otherwise we'd be facing a cancelled show due to "logistical problem". This tour needs good word of mouth and some great first reviews. I periodically check the Glasgow interactive map. She's shifting about 20 or so tickets a week, and the £120 ones RIGHT UP THE BACK aren't moving at all. Sales will pick up everywhere once the tour starts no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Madonna are finally waking up and realising that those late starts, lack of hits and high prices have done a lot of damage. She's a businesswoman she's knows a hits heavy setlist will get her good headlines and hopefully shift tickets. Just a shame they didn't realise it before they anounced the tour.

idro Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I mean if you wanna hear aall those past hits 1 :maybe you just don t like her current music . 2 :you need a Madonna karaoke world tour . 3 :you need gp to singalong to make ya feel pride .

karbatal Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It always amazes me just how different public is in Spain from another countries. Here only BIG BIG BIG fans will pay more than 130 euro for a ticket. And those big fans love oldies, but new songs too. I guess in other parts of Europe and the rest of the world casual people go and spend 150 euro even though they are not big fans and want to listen to the oldies?

Moonray Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Denial, splitting (like these 3 options), flawed thinking... She needs the GP and the oldies !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Let's all calm down darlings. My predictions are for a hit-heavy tour. I think we'll get loads and loads of '80s songs and the general public will be coming back on board and ticket sales will pick up hopefully. The only thing I am not entirely sure of is the start time situation. At the moment I cannot predict for that. Give me a few weeks and I will let you know. When the hurly-burly's done...

karbatal Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 She has been referencing herself and she seems to miss those old days, she posted lots of oldies in her Instagram before the album was out. She's so stubborn that I think that if she's playing more oldies this time it would be because she feels to, not because somebody thought it would be better to sell tickets.

idro Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I didn t want to insult anybody believe me . I think if it was up to her she was going to perform really few old songs ( not even hit songs ) .I get her Picasso(True Artist) point of view ...new exhibition new works .

She's so stubborn that I think that if she's playing more oldies this time it would be because she feels to, not because somebody thought it would be better to sell tickets. Agreed. She has said in a lot of interviews this era that she misses the 80's. A big theme of Rebel Heart is actually looking back, saying that all your past experiences make you the person you are today. Her older song titles are referenced in the songs. So I think if she is going to do a lot of oldies this is the tour to do it. Like a lot of things with Madonna, there are multiple motivations. I'm sure a business practical thing is part of it but I also think she does enjoy singing the older stuff now and wants people to remember those. I'm not too bothered by the set list. I like the majority of what she has recorded, old and new so I'm sure I will be happy with whatever the set list is. But I've never bought the idea that artists that perform their older hits are somehow selling out. Your past music makes who you are today as an artist so there's no reason to be ashamed of them and avoid performing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
