Yeah I saw madonna fans in general say that they prefer arena shows over stadium ones. I found many saying that online.

To make the observation that that era has ended is not a negative thing. 1
spiritboy Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Her competition is not Taylor or Beyoncé though. She has been there, done that. Her competition is other female artists that are over 60 who gross as much as Madonna. She's writing pop history books once again, Madonna runs so your faves can tour easily in their 60s. 8 1
The7thStranger Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, Jjang said: These boxscores are great and show that she's still a fierce touring act. But the fact that her arena shows from 2006/2004 have similar boxscores despite the recent touring industry boom is a testament to how truly impressive her touring prime was. No one but Barbra Streisand and Rolling Stones were grossing that much in arenas but nowadays even acts like Drake are averaging $4m a show. She's still in good company but she departed from the elite tier (who are now Taylor, Bey, etc). Just an observation, it doesn't have to be negative. ...Madonna is a veteran artist selling out venues of literally every size. Talk to me when Drake is earning $4M a show forty years into his career without even an album to promote. 1 hour ago, Jjang said: they’re acting like I said these numbers are horrible She was the undisputed #1 touring female act for decades. To make the observation that that era has ended is not a negative thing. It has a discrediting tone when you compare a veteran artist to today's hottest acts. She's not in competition with them.

Raptus Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Can't wait to see SZA next tour numbers. With how brave her stan is she will outgross Madonna with no problem Edited December 10, 2023 by Raptus
She-Rah Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 i cant at people having any negative to say, these numbers are impressive! and after the MDNA tour, she damaged her touring reputation because she was 3 hours late each night but she has recovered nicely

John Slayne Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 1. great numbers 2. clearly she could do stadiums if she chose to. she sold 429k tickets and in most markets she was well below demand (even the London shows where she sold 90k tickets were way below demand and sold instantly. i know because i only managed to get tickets for the 5th show). however, the show is obviously produced for arenas. it's not a cheap GH tour that someone else is doing in stadiums where you're just there to hang out and vibe. Madonna's show is visually stunning, has choreographies and elaborate outfits and visuals with many references and meaning behind them that tell a story. not comparable at anyone else who is touring rn at all. i'm glad she chose arenas and not stadium, bigger venues would cheapen the experience of a show like this. 3. i doubt that this is her last tour, unless she announces additional legs and starts promoting it as such. if she came out and said this is a farewell tour, she could easily surpass Renaissance Tour in gross. so many more people would break their legs to see M if they thought it was truly her last ever performance. 2

The artists you mentioned are all much younger than her. She hasn't gone to the us shows yet. After all is said and done with this tour ending, we will see Right, the tour is being extended and it seems anything after the American shows will be stadiums and there is even talk of it going into 2025 with different legs. So who knows? 1

thequeenofpopmadonna Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 So no south american tour announcement today? Reportedly it would be announced today after the commercial in brazil. No?? 1
Bubble Tea Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Watching a musical act in a stadium sucks. You're too far away and just watching screens the whole time. ATRL overly hypes them just because they mean a big number to brag about. The experience is lame. 1

Right? Madonna has decades of being a top touring act, Taylor has one tour that does really well which no one was expecting and that overhshadows Madonna? If Madonna did as many dates in stadiums as her i'm sure she would achieve if not more than Taylor in gross.

OT : 40 years into her career
Popboi. Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 Y’all are crazy, she can’t compete with stadium shows of Bey and Taylor cause she’s doing arenas. For good reason too cause of her health right now, one step wrong and she would have to start canceling shows like on Madame X, and best believe insurance for stadiums is not pretty. These are BY FAR the best numbers she’s ever had in arenas, and might even rival MDNA if there are no more dates announced. 1
tiagol88 Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 I hope people realize that if Madonna does stadiums in South America and Europe next year as rumored she's literally going to have the 2nd biggest female tour ever surpassing her own S&S tour Like...she just did 80M with 20 something arenas in Europe and will have done over 200/220M with the scheduled dates alone. If you sum up touring grosses from acts like Kylie Minogue, Cher, Janet, Mariah, etc from 2010 until 2023 Madonna will have surpassed all of their touring grosses from 2010/2023 with a single tour... She's basically writing the book on how successul a female act can be on tour in her 60's and more successful than any woman currently in their 50's as well. She's literally about to prove she can tour in any space and be successful, lmao. 4

Those girls never could beat madonna with the audiences over 120k in rio and Paris. If Madonnas determined and does the tour as long as they do, she could beat them. It's her health issue and mind at this point. Don't count her out yet. People have said that she would disappear in a few years since the beginning. Guess what? She is always the last standing. This one is no different 2
Mr. Mendes Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 On 12/9/2023 at 12:10 PM, thequeenofpopmadonna said: My sis. No she never said that whenever she went on tour. She never said any tour would become the last. She ain't Cher. Last year she said she missed being on stage because she's a showgirl. Fans just say that the tour will be the last, though she didn't. Not to mention, this tour as,well. Some fans underestimate her and keep saying she will quit touring after this. No surprise that they keep pushing her down. The Sticky & Sweet Tour documentary literally begins with her saying she always says she’s gonna not tour again when she finishes one and decides to do it when she goes to someone else’s show. Her own words, not ours.

She never said nor promoted it like that. Again she's aint Cher, with a neverending last farewell tour. She's a material girl and knows what would give her a huge bulk of profits.

The stage layout is not built to fit in a stadium setting. it would look too awkward. 1
