I'm wondering whether we don't have the numbers of the European leg because of Celine's lazy team or because of those Billboard tards

MADONNA'S 'STICKY & SWEET TOUR: #1 GROSSING TOUR IN HISTORY FOR SOLO ARTIST

Monday, December 22, 2008 - For Immediate Release - Los Angeles:

 

With the completion of Madonna's final show in Sao Paulo Brazil last evening - one of eleven record-breaking performances in South America - the 'Material Girl's' 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour reigns supreme by becoming the Number One Largest Grossing Tour in history by a solo artist, it was confirmed today by Live Nation, the tour's international producer. Her 58 shows in Europe, the US, Canada, Mexico and South America played for a staggering 2,350,282 million fans and sold over (USD)280,000,000 in tickets.

 

"Madonna has yet again demonstrated her true global appeal as a live performer whether in stadiums or arenas. Not only will this tour be the top selling tour of all time for a solo artist and a female artist (eclipsing her own record), but it will position her as one of the top selling touring artists of all time" said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring.

 

Along with record breaking ticket sales in South America with a total 650,000 tickets sold, the 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour sold 72,000 tickets at Zurich's Military Airfield Dubendorf - the largest audience ever assembled for a show in Switzerland. In London, where she performed in front of 74,000 fans with over 12 million dollars in ticket sales, Madonna surpassed all previous records at both the old and new Wembley Stadiums. In New York City, Madonna's four sell-outs at Madison Square Garden shows added up to a record breaking 23 sold out performances since 2001 at that venue - a record for most appearances for a single artist in this decade.

 

Madonna's multi Grammy-nominated CD "Hard Candy" debuted at number one early this year in over 37 countries.

I have no idea why we don't see the figures for places like Tokyo, France, the Uk, Paris, Ireland, Germany----I mean all of these locations had a huge audiences and I'm sure the Boxscore would be huge if they'd friggin well report it!

 

Tis' not accurate, but $91 Million for what was reported is awesome!

Bah. This business is so unfair.

Forget about the TC tour...Celine will break the record again with her 2009-2012 My Love tour :clap:
