Will she allow phones this time?

[eXtremeOccident 2,467]

Will there be a phone ban for The Celebration Tour?

Before you say the idea is absurd, I’ve seen it be done successfully at other arena shows (for stand up comedy). And we know she has certainly started to take a bit more control of her image lately via social media and what not.

 

We didn’t find out until last minute about the Madame X phone ban. Do you think she’s gonna do this again?

[androiduser 2,405]

I think phones will be allowed, it would be too much work to hand out 15+k phone cases each night

[Rebel Hugo 16,997]

I hope that doesn't happen again, but how I'm supposed to see the show? 🤣 And I don't want to wait until the DVD comes out because it will surely take 2 years after the tour is finished to release it and surely it will not be the complete show. 😂 

[Jackie 8,023]

Yea, I don't think it'll happen, far to hard to control- although there is time to do it, I mean, she won't be on stage till 11/11:30pm :P

[madgefan 10,137]

She needs the damn publicity!

[Madgesty 2,740]

It wont happen.

[MartineX 569]

Anyone wanna buy my tickets?🤔

I think you're on to something here. Maybe she comes on so late hoping most people's phone battery will have died. 

[EgoRod 5,429]

I think with MX was due to the settings. In a theatre  someone could easily record the whole thing with a decent sound if they wanted to. They already had deals to do the film about it. And at the time the ticket prices were considered extortionate. Leaking of the show would have damaged sales. But this is a total different take with tickets selling everywhere really fast. The recordings would create more publicity than damage. Because of the size of the events there won't be high quality recordings anyway.

i truly wanna see how she will be takin away phones from whole arena crowd 

 

[Dj Garrido 1,689]

I bet there will be moments when she will ask us to save our phones in the pocket and moments she will ask us to turn on the flashlights.  

[Lucky90210 741]

Yes of course.

Yondr cases are used in almost all comedians arena tours. Chris Rock. Amy Shumer. Dave Chapelle. They all used Yondr. The reason is because they usually have streaming deals with Netflix/Hulu/Amazon and they don't want their show fully available by some bootleg video on Youtube months before it debuts on their platform. It's possible to use Yondr cases in large spaces like arenas and do it efficiently. I've seen it first-hand with the examples above. Having said that, I've never seen it done in an arena for a musical act. If she was doing it for this tour she would have disclosed it up front I'm guessing.

While I’d love to snap a few photos, I’m honestly not bothered… the worst thing to happen at a gig is when you’re surrounded by a sea of phones and you can’t actually see the artist. Tori Amos in Edinburgh this year was a bit like that during the encore… having to watch through other peoples electronics is somewhat frustrating.

People have to film concerts on their phones now because they dont know how to enjoy themselves unless they are collecting likes on social media - i dont know why they even bother to go - they arent interested in living in the moment ....

[Sultrysully 2,865]

I wish phones were banned but the arenas are probably too big to store all of those phones.  

[fauxswan 255]

I hope not, I'd like to see some pics and videos because I won't be able to go. 

[VogueMusic 677]

I highly doubt they will use those Yondr cases this time. Plenty of the latest big tours from mainstream acts in arenas and stadiums have tons of phone footage all over youtube. As @EgoRodsaid, The Madame X theater tour was a very different and specific situation.

Thank you 

[BuggedOut 4,121]

How does someone have the control to not allow HD videos of their current tour on YouTube?

Thats some creepy shiz.

Can you imagine if M did that?

[Prayer 14,274]

No way she's doing that on an arenas and stadiums (rumored for Chile, etc.) tour. It would be a logistics nightmare.

"Madame X" was different, theaters, much less people, etc.

Plus the new tour is already a sell out anyway.

[Piksel8 619]

I don't know of any arena or stadium concerts now that reinforced the yondr phone storage. Its too much work. Jack White did it for his recent tour, but he only played in small venues so it was doable. Madame X was a sit down theatre production, so they wanted to treat it like a Broadway show in which filming is strictly prohibited.

it's also because comedians use the same material and the same jokes on tour, and this might ruin the jokes and the spontaneity people expect... with a music tour, people know the same show is performed every night.
