Honestly, I think the stanning in here is a little blind/delusional.

This tour is underperforming in the UK, it's criminally mismanaged tbh.
After the bad press she got with DWT, she should've only done 1/2 stadiums and held the rest of the shows at large arenas.

She could gain back her reputation with on-time appearances, great vocals and sold out shows and then consider all stadium shows for the next tour.

Anyway, my date tomorrow
I hope my direct debit pulls thru sometime tonight so I can withdraw it all to spend on merch tomorrow

Is it true she cut SOM & Pose?
I'm a little upset she has but thankfully all my fave songs are on the setlist (LOTB, Desperado & Consideration).
I love how ANTi-heavy it is when she could've gotten away with all hits + only a couple of new songs.

That's what she's been doing with this tour. It's the reason why she received so much positive reviews with this tour.

Originally posted by Schoolin' Life You are delusional if you think it's still ok to book so many arena/stadiums with 2/3 capacity filled. I can asure you if US&European legs were sold out there wouldn't be a problem with Rih "not accepting sponsporship" for SA leg. Also death at people thinking Rih"SoldOwt"anna wasn't bothered by seeing empty levels at her shows Lame excuses everywhere.

You hoes are fuming because Rih isn't bothered by this one bit.
She puts on a show just like she does with every single one and doesn't give a **** what you loose bottoms on a forum have to say.

Yeah I know, I think for the next tour people will be much more willing to shell £80 on a stadium ticket but her reputation was pretty bad at this point which is the reason why she sold bad (that & too little promo).

She definitely has the starpower and popularity, she just didn't have the reputation this time around.
Plus now that the press can't come for her performance or tardiness, they're focusing on unsold seats.

I love her and want her to do well, it's just frustrating seeing her not reach her full potential when she could be a huge touring force.

Not sure on figures but from what I can tell the seats aren't selling great since lots of decent ones are still available.

There's a lot of unreserved seating at the Manchester date (pretty much all of the back) too so it'll probably look worse too if people decide to stand.

I agree with this, she should have only done Wembley, Manchester, and Glasgow.(Also think she should have done Emirates in London instead of Wembley) Not only was the promotion awful, but she played Wembley at the same time as Glastonbury where ADELE and COLDPLAY were playing.

LIVENATION is probably still making money, just not what they expect. She has multiple big sponsors (PUMA and Samsung, mainly). The money they pitched into the show probably covers most of it especially since the production cost probably isn't that high.

She'll most likely revert back to arena or just go on an other stadium tour but on a smaller scale. She's doing too many stadiums in each country without promoting. LiveNation is probably just going to require her to promote more if she wants to go a large scale stadium tour, if she doesn't want too they'll probably ask her to go in arena or do something small like 2 stadium in each country instead of 4-5.

Originally posted by Teezy The way this tour is doing is...devastating. 😓

Originally posted by istan4badgalriri The US shows grossed $1M/show on average and the tour is most likely going to gross $100M in the end, but maybe that's what you call 'devastating'

Originally posted by Mystic Boy Sorry but that would be weak !! A tour with as many dates she has and mostly in stadiums, should gross at LEAST 200 millions $ . For example, her peer Katy Perry did an arena tour and still crossed the 200 millions $ mark , that's the least she can do for a star of her caliber...
