No, it's not General Motors, the GM company is GrandMadonna. |

This might not have rubbed me the wrong way except for stuff like she paid around $10,000 (or $1,000?) for some genuine mink eye lashes for some tour several years ago. Oh, I should have copied the wine story to this thread. Let me see if I can find the wine links. Madonna Refused To Pay For Simpson Letters

...a senior member of her management team should have paid the whole bill including generous gratuity without hesitation... ...instead, it was probably the lower level, low paid, members of her troupe that kicked in their own cash when the bar owner showed up... ...yikes I hope we're seeing the final days of this ridiculous, nasty woman's recording and touring 'career'... |

Jesus this woman has hundreds of millions of dollars. I simply do not understand why she's being so frugal. Her entourage in particular seems selfish, immature, disrespectful and childish. |

Madonna is such a hypocrite. She's a committed leftist who calls Michael Moore a hero and has voiced support for the Occupy Movement. She fancies herself as one who stands up for the "99%" against the rich who are exploiting them. Yet this woman charges $300 to $400 for a concert ticket even though she is one of the wealthiest women in the world. What a greedy cheapskate. If she really cares about the 99%, why doesn't she drastically reduce her concert ticket prices so poor people could attend? She doesn't need the money, and she's an Obama supporter. He said we should be spreading the wealth, so why doesn't Madonna do that by lower her ticket prices?

Welcome to the board, Music Man! And Madonna probably wouldn't lower ticket prices because it's too much like right. She has too much greed within herself to do the right thing. Either that or so few people actually attend her concerts that if the price were lower, it wouldn't be much of a profit. I dunno.

Thanks for the welcome. From all I've read, it seems Madonna's concerts are pretty heavily attended. After 30 years on the scene, she's accumulated a pretty significant hardcore fan base. True, she is not as popular as she used to be, but that's because she's driven away most of her casual fans by her antics. And I don't think she's winning many new fans either. But the loyal, fanatical base that she's had for many years is still with her. This is how it works when Madonna pulls out all her raunchy stunts: Normal people who might be casual fans are driven away by her behavior, but her loyal hardcore base love her all the more for it. That's why she can still charge so much money and her loyal fanbase will pay....they want to see her perform live so they can witness her next raunchy and/or controversial stunt. Lots of suckers in this world. |

...while I agree that m still has a hardcore following that will pay rip-off ticket prices to see her, I think even some of those have started to abandon her on this 'MDNA' tour... ...after the tickets initially went onsale there was the usual PR hack hype that tickets were selling out quickly and it would be the biggest tour of all time or some such cr*pola... ...however, as the weeks progressed toward the kick-off of the tour, there were much more subdued reports of tour dates being 'combined' or cancelled and then after the tour was underway we learned that tickets were going unsold even on the day of certain performances.... ...let's face it, most of those initial 'sell-out' ticket sales were block purchases by commercial resellers to build hype for the tour and create the illusion of sell-out demand.... ...lately, I haven't seen any hype about this being the biggest tour ever or even m's biggest tour...that's the thing about the music biz - PR hype only goes so far....sooner or later you have to deliver the goods...and this tour just isn't cutting the kind of numbers worth bragging about....

For anyone who'd like to read more: Madonna ticket thread (page 8 of thread) Page 7 or 8 starts MDNA tour ticket information, and previous pages in that same thread discuss how prior tours did not sell out. |
