Madonna concerts outsell Lady GaGa three to one in Latin Ame
Quote:
Madonna tickets have outsold Lady GaGa's three to one in Latin America, it has been revealed.
The statistic is even more surprising when taking into account the fact that tickets for Madonna's 'MDNA' shows are three times as expensive as those for GaGa's concerts.The Examiner reports that GaGa's South American dates have had lacklustre sales considering the size of the venues she was booked into.
GaGa claimed her Peru show had an audience of 50,000, whereas actual ticket sales were reported to be around 17,000, with many tickets for the show being given away free as part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Many of GaGa's Latin American shows also suffered from similarly low turnouts. However, Madonna regularly played in the same area to sold-out crowds of more than 55,000.
GaGa's tours have fared much better in Europe and South Africa, and the 26-year-old is set to launch her 'Born This Way Ball' tour in North America next month.
The 'Paparazzi' singer and the 'Give Me All Your Luvin' star have been engaged in a feud after Madonna began bringing attention to the similarities between her song 'Express Yourself' and GaGa's 'Born This Way' on her most recent tour.
GaGa was also reported to have turned down an offer to perform with Madonna on the 'MDNA' tour.
Provide that this is true, it doesn't shock me. Madonna is a much more established tour act than Lady Gaga. Regardless of the prices, she's guaranteed to sell out.
I'm not shocked. To be honest I thought everyone would do better in Latin America than what they did. But congrats to Madonna only proving who runs it!
Monsters, are you still thinking Gaga has surpassed Madonna in any way?
Right? She's also obvious a bigger touring act. They're either going to do the same amount of attendance or Madonna will have more attendance but the "statistics" in the OP don't make any sense. THREE TIMES MORE?
Go Madge.
