Lady Gaga disastrous ticket sales not reported to Billboard
Quote:
Today, Billboard reports their top concert grosses and even though Lady Gaga made enough money from some of her South American dates to be charted, we are told that—once again—none of her South American dates will be reported.
Lady Gaga's shows that made a lot of money and sold a lot of tickets have been reported in the past, but don't expect Live Nation to report her Mexican or South American dates anytime soon.
She outright lied about her show in Peru, which she claimed had an audience of 50,000.
Actual ticket sales, however, were reported to be around 17,000.
However, many tickets for this show and others were given away for free with a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Several other Lady Gaga dates in Latin America failed to garner huge ticket sales, while Madonna continues to play for more than 55,000 each night with tickets priced three times as much.
Lying about number is bad, but hiding them is even worse.
