Imagine, if she keeps her popularity up, what she could do with tours in ten years? I mean this tour honestly could make it past $400 million, and that would make it the second biggest solo tour ever (since the MDNA Tour will likely be bigger [I am hoping they both outgross the S&S Tour]).

Potential $400 million and she's only been here for four years.

such a queen in her own capacity. I love it!

goes to show how afraid people are of her impact

They just can't stand it. One complimentary thread and they run in there to try to shoot her down, nearly breaking their backs in the process. She makes them seethe in the truest sense of the word.

Damn, get that money Gaga

I would have posted this in the other thread, had it not been closed.

Not to be a downer or anything. The main reason Gaga has been doing as well as she has is because of the marketing dollars that her touring company (LiveNation) is putting forth. Her manager, Troy Carter, said it himself.

If Rihanna was touring through LiveNation, she would probably be pulling similar numbers throughout the globe as well. Except maybe Asia, because Gaga has been able to crack that market in ways that not many artists other than Avril Lavigne have been able to do.

Basically, I'd say it's a combination of star power and marketing. They go hand in hand. Yes, Gaga is a huge star in her own right, but it's not really fair to ignore the importance of the promoters.

I'm hoping she announces the US tour dates in November for that exact reason
I'm saving to buy a new MacBook Pro around September or October and I'll need a couple weeks to save for a ticket! Maybe even two if any friends want to go.

I'm not getting my hopes up for anything more than $350M, but by the looks of things anything is possible. I just wish she would visit my country.

I can almost hear it: "Santo Domingo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!"

But the thing is, you can market and promote all you want - doesn't mean people will buy a ticket. If huge promoting led to guaranteed commercial success, the BTW era would have been an extreme success. Think of the countless MTN performances, and it peaked at #29. So yes, marketing/promo does indeed help, but it only does so much.

I'm just saying, it's a combination of everything.

That's great but if that's the case then I wonder why the other artist aren't putting money into marketing their tours like Gaga has. I mean when you say it like that it just seems much more easier. I guess Gaga's team just has the money to spend. I guess we'll also see the effects of it when it comes to the U.S.

Truthfully though, many pop acts don't do full on global world tours like Gaga does within their first four years of their career. Gaga should be commended but I don't like tooting her horn too much because then I'll seem over confident/arrogant.
