Edit:
Madonna did 52,444,245 from south America alone.

And Beyonce did 35.5 million in Aussie/New Zealand during her arena tour, she could easily do double that now
Not to mention what she could do in Asia, and Africa

its not really making sense.
madonna played 2 stadiums in gothenburg, capacity 75,000 x 2. beyonce plays ONE stadium in sweden with the capacity of 50,000.
you need to have the attendance to get the numbers. she's not selling out all stadium dates in an hour around the world like wembley. I think madonna's ticket prices are also more expensive (although I see her prices are expensive in the US and the UK too, but aside from that in general for europe and such, outside of the UK, prices seem cheaper than madonna's SS tour.. so how in the world can she make six million/show? it makes no sense
amsterdam arena too.. she sold out one show. madonna sold it 2 times.
unless beyonce asks the same prices and plays for the same capacity (or asks for more money) i don't see how she can.
not sure what billboard is trying to do

But Madonna's tour wasn't exclusively a stadium tour, she also did arenas, and several

her prices range from 80-140€ in Europe depending on where ur seated.
As of now, it's speculation anyways since Bey would have to do a second leg anyways if she wanted to rly attack Madges record. This would then, however, mean she would probably do a second time Sweden and all these other places.

I know she can tour all those places, i'm just saying to reach 408m she would have to be able to do what Madonna did in south America. No need to be angry with me, just trying to be realistic here.

She would not need to do what Madonna did in S. America
Madonna didn't even tour Oceania or Asia (outside of Israel), Beyonce could EASILY make up for S. America in Oceania, not to mention Beyonce will STILL tour S. America

it still makes no sense to say she makes six million a show when compared to madonna's stadium dates for SS

That's just an average, some of her shows will be more, some less. Wembley for example could bring in 9-10 or so million, her Paris dates could bring in about the same

If she add another leg...that glue won't be enough for S&s...but why are people talking only about Madonna what abut male or band grossing tours?

Rihanna is my jam and I love her performing but Beyonce when it comes to live performances she is the queen

U2 - 360 Tour - $736M
The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang Tour - $558M
Roger Waters - The Wall Live - $458M
AC/DC - Black Ice World Tour - $441M
Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour - $408M
most of those are reasonably untouchable, S&S will still be difficult, she'll have to really plan the shows well, as well as some level of promotion and large enough lag times to allow international shows to sell out

no, Ullevi in Gothenburg has a capacity of 60k. Friends arena in Stockholm (where Bey performs) has a capacity of 65k.

why are madonna fans so pressed? no one here is taking anything away from her - billboard just simply stated that judging by TFT stats so far, Bey is the biggest female touring artist AT THIS MOMENT.
If we're talking about the biggest female touring force of all time, the title goes to Madonna, of course. Bey still has a long way to go, but she can surpass Madonna if she plans her dates well, promotes and releases new music.
That's it. Some of you guys are being ridiculous.

I think some of you are getting ahead of yourselves, she hasn't even released more dates and your on about beating Madonna.
