Now let´s wait for haters to come with one of those pics when the crowd is still arriving and saying that it was a half-empty show with lots of tickets left un-sold and huge empty spaces :roll:

Probably... apparently judging by the pic they didn't sell tickets for the upper bowl.

I was just thinking the same. If they did sell the upper bowl then we would have seen at most 40k, but I'm afraid I've reduce my prediction to 25-30,000

Maybe Madonna should go back on playing multiple dates in arenas instead of stadiums in Europe.

Looks full for what they put on sale. I wonder if they tried to put them on sale if they would have filled up?

Actually for Europeans fans I bet they like this because she plays in different cities.

Next tour that's what she's gonna do for sure! Unless it's a coutry she never visited of course.

And to be honest...i really hope so! I hate stadium concerts! Arenas are much better! imo!

Stadiums have more prestige....(is what they say in touring community)

When she play stadium even not full stadium, let's say 32-35k people, it's like she did 2 or 3 arena in a row in just one date.

According to this review from the concert in Vienna attendance was about 30.000 with many seats left unsold

Okay guys...the concert yesterday

There were some unsold seats, but really not many. I even saw her having her soundcheck

The mood during the concert, especially in the beginning, was pretty bad because she came on stage more than one hour too late. People started to whistle and boo.

The show is a bit too dark and violent to me but of course absolutely amazing. The staging, the videos, the dancing is absolutely amazing.

Of course.. but when you can sell them out like U2 or Paul McCartney.. with Madonna it just causes controversy and backlash because she can't sell them all out like she used to.

McCartney?
What's the recent example of his stadium tour?
Just to ask, absolutely no polemic, I'm simply not aware of it.
About the stadium issue, untill she'll drag in the range of 30-40k people, it's ok that she play it, it's strategically more convenient for her than playing multiple date in arenas, also considering the phisycal effort she put in every show.

U2 and Paul McCartney would struggle to sell even half the tickets she has if they were using it mainly to promote a new album.

Again.... don't know about McCartney.
But U2 is undoubtely the biggest tour drawn band alive , they'd sell out anytime, anyplace.
We also know the rock public is more inclined to live show and rock band usually benefit of it.
Madge on the other hand still is on the absolute TOP of the pop area when it comes to Tour as well.

McCartney has played sold out stadiums in the US and Latin America.. but he wasn't a good example since his tours are real short.. U2 would be the best example :wink:

Undoubtly... but apparently the pop acts are no longer able to sell out an all-stadium tour

I mean sure Gaga has sold out stadiums and Britney too but only some dates.. not a full-stadium tour.

Also you have to consider the pricing. I mean MDNA prices are so damn high - I have heard a lot of peoeple as well my friends didnt go but wanted, cause they couldnt afford

Can someone confirm if yesterday madonna said this: "who loves me is my fan and loves me as I am, who, in this stadium,it is not may also leave."?

For the past couple of days, the media has enjoyed a field day reporting on how Madonna's career is over with since she was booed off stage at a private Paris concert. They have been doing this despite the fact that videos show the crowd having a great time and dancing. To make the story more believable, the media emphasized how after the show, "fans" threw bottles at the stage and called her a "slut." Until now, nobody looked into the allegations.

It turns out that many fans did feel shortchanged due to lack of communication on how the show would be shorter. But the actual riots and the screaming were started by supporters of Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far right National Front in Paris. Apparently, they are still upset that Madonna compares Le Pen to a Nazi in her tour. Even though Le Pen isn't a Nazi, the National Front has been accused of having Nazi ties and until recently, denied the Holocaust existed.

The French DST (equivalent to FBI in America) reported that a disturbance was planned, whether Madonna left early or not. There were several people holding up signs that made fun of Madonna's age, sexuality, and political affiliations. Once the show stopped, they started calling her rude names, rushed the stage with bottles, and encouraged others to boo. They took videos and uploaded them to YouTube immediately.

But Le Pen's supporters aren't the only ones involved. On several sites, many of Lady Gaga's "little monsters" are asking each other to post messages everywhere to say they can confirm Madonna is a liar since they were at the show. They are even posting false pictures of themselves at concerts and saying it was Madonna's Paris show. It's doubtful Lady Gaga would approve of this.

One fan emailed us and explained that he and his friends had an amazing time, but were certainly disappointed about the show's lengh. "Madonna was in top form. It's a shame she left early, but we still had a great time. I can tell you from being there that her own 'fans' did not start any riots. That is just media spin. There are people negatively commenting on Twitter who claim to have been at the show, but weren't. I can tell you 100 percent of what happened because I was there."
