5-6x* more than the Femme Fatale Tour.

Cultural impact + huge following

Bitch you can miss me with that.



As long as you know your fave's place in the world.

1) Britney had other deals but we'll forget about that Besides, Britney is more legendary according to the Britney stanbase and has been in the business for more years. Usually that equates to higher tour grosses. So I still don't get why the BTW Ball might make at least 4x more than the Femme Fatale Tour.

2) Hmm sure?

Didn't FF Gross $47,656,358 out of 22 - 23 shows ??

Well BTW Grossed $44 million from 16 tour dates

You might have a point with the profitability thing, but only because of how much Gaga spends on her shows. The castle alone probably cost a couple million dollars and having to constantly fly the pieces everywhere can't be too cheap with petrol prices these days. But you're also implying that marketing = surefire success. Not true. Just because they air commercials for her tour, doesn't mean people will go see it.

Still can only do so much... you kneed to do more than just promote the tour.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

I was aware of the Femme Fatale groupon deal. I was aware of the Rated R $0.99 Amazon deal. Others were aware as well, and clearly they didn't exactly rush to purchase the product.

Gaga's show cost 4.5 mill dollars for set up alone. She will hardly make profit. You think Britney's disgusting, cheap tours cost 1/2 as much?



And you two can go to hell .

Seems like people want to see this generation's biggest entertainer live.

Becuz she is an incredible performer?

Andre, don't get yourself banned.

We need all the people on this site to celebrate Gaga's status as the #1 Touring Artist Of Our Generation.

Not any marketing. with the kind of marketing she has, 9 times out of 10, it does.

I might be wrong, but she's the only one of her generation with a 360 deal.

No, not really. I would say 5/10. Not everyone can afford to see her even if they wanted to.

Even with the massive costs of the show, Gaga's label will see a profit bigger than the total grosses of her conteporarys' tours.

She is a part of the trinity with Britney/Madonna .

She's the biggest and most global star on Earth right now and people love themselves a great show.

Live Nation also bangs the drum, having signed so-called 360 deals with the likes of Madonna
and Jay-Z.
