The point is, even still, Beyonce's tickets are higher than most, if not all, of her peers today.
Besides, you said Madonna had 87 shows and made $300 million. If Beyonce did do about 200 shows, she can definitely top $300 million.

If Beyonce's ticket prices have been about the same as Lady Gaga's then we could use The Monster Ball for a comparison. The Monster Ball did 201 shows and made $235 million. I don't think that Beyonce would be able to do 200 shows even if she did major places multiple times, unless she would hit smaller places that would be skipped. If she did over 200 shows that would definitely be exhausting Beyonce and the fans.
The only way I think she could do it and come back to places on the second leg, If she is planning on doing stadiums would probably overhaul the stage. I'm not familiar with the locations in Europe but all the shows on the I Am... World Tour in North America were arenas probably so she could do the aerials during Baby Boy, so she couldn't pull that off in a crowd of 50,000. But until we see how she makes her way from the main stage to the BeyStage we'll have to wait. Lady Gaga was probably able to get people to come back to seeing the Monster Ball because even with the 34 shows she did with the original show, she was able to come back to some with the one we're all familiar with.
i would go see Rih instead but i'd get ****** ass seats at this point
