The Celebration Tour (No Spoilers)

[MattyMads 5,513]

I just wanted to say I'm so excited for this tour I could pee. July 15th is taking too long come 

I can't wait for setlist rumours

 

[eXtremeOccident 2,481]

Selfishly hoping that no details leak before opening night, nor any posts from her revealing the stage, setlist, etc.

I've never done opening night before, and it would be a dream for her to deliver a true tour-de-force show with MDNA production and Confessions style music production for all the greatest hits without any of us expecting it.

So, so excited for Vancouver.

The Q1, the first quarter of the year is always slow for business.

well, yes, but all the original shows went on sale in January, the additional show that are selling slowly went on sale in March

Love that idea MDNA production and Confessions style music production  - what a combination  - I can dream!

I've a feeling the setlist will be pretty tight lipped. Unless she reveals hints on IG like she did with RHT but I honestly think she did that to sell for tickets.

We might get a taste of 1 of those lol

[Winn 2,201]

If she did Spotlight I'd die of a heart attack on site, like, right there in the arena. I'd die happy though.

We'll probably just get a rehash of the Rescue Me/Breathwork interlude from Madame X Tour at best. Go to back to bed

I was about to disagree, but with your last sentence i realized you meant UK only, so i agree with you there. If you check her tour page on her webiste, you can buy tickets for 40 shows out of 83. Almost half. 

That said, plenty of these dates are 2nd dates in each city, and will sellout for sure by the time she hits the road.

The dates that i'm honestly shocked is the latest ones she added in the USA. NYC sold out MSG so fast with 4 dates...yet her December dates for Brooklyn are at like 50% sold. Why do i feel if they had these dates in the first place they would have sold better by now? It's like the initial hype was all gone in a week. It's weird. 

The worst of them all? Nashville... what is this:

They even covered those 4 sections in each side. I seriously hope she doesn't cancel this one date. It was the main point of the PR statement they sent out. It's a shame it's the one date that's selling the least. 

I've said this many times before but I will reiterate. 

I am an avid tour box office/ticket sales watcher and there is nothing abnormal about how these newly announced shows are selling. How the original dates sold was what was abnormal. 

The days of instant sell outs are long behind us unless the artist has achieved a certain pop culture dominance that not many get to and/or the tour itself has drawn a lot of media commotion. That only accounts for 1-2% of touring artists today. In recent memory, the only artists to sell out arena or stadium tours immediately are Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. 

The sales rush Madonna experienced with the first dates came from the hype that was created around an artist of her stature doing a long awaited greatest hits tour. If this were just another album tour, we wouldn't have seen that happen. That was uncommon not just for her current standards, but the for the standards of most artists in today's world. 

Concerts are getting more and more expensive and people are less and less willing to spend that money for what amounts to 2-3 hours of their lives. As such, ticket sales tend to go much slower and we only see full sell outs in the days or sometimes hours before the show actually begins. On the Rebel Heart Tour, Toronto and Nashville both had a ton of tickets available in the week before the show, but by the time she was on stage that arena was full. 

Most people wait to buy either until they've saved money or until they know what they're going to get from a show. Only big fans get their tickets immediately, and as we saw, they did. This tour is not just catering to big fans, it's bringing in an audience she likely hasn't played for in years, and they move slower in buyng tickets just like the always have. The majority of artists won't have their venue sold out until the very day that the show is happening, and that is not some new phenomenon, it has been that way for well over a decade now. This show is months and months away, so no of course it isn't going to be sold out now. That's just now how it works anymore.

These shows will be just fine. LiveNation, the promoters, and the venue wouldn't have booked them if they felt they were in any danger of flopping. Once upon a time they'd take those chances, but not in a world now where touring is such a costly investment for all parties involved.

Hopefully the GC Area won't be to large during the European shows. Seems like it could fit over 400+ people (at least)

Adding a big fat “agreed on every count” to this post.

Personally I’m thrilled with how these shows are selling. I’m also slightly worried that one of many two shows is a stadium and I just hoped she’s been selling well… but when I checked the sales page which shows they’re selling tickets behind the stage… which means it’s going to be packed!!!

Can’t wait to have the up close experience for the first time in 15 years… and Mum is coming with me, our first since RHT! ❤️

you're probably right. I just got used at the first shows selling out so fast that i didn't even consider how the market works.

I mean Beyonce still has like half of her stadium dates with tickets available right now and she's about to start her tour, lmao.
