And yes, gaga's marketing team is the best I've ever witnessed. there are several countries where she sold out her first arena date and the whole media goes crazy about that (even if it's barely 12,000 tickets) - YET, when she booked a second date (that's still not sold out 7 months after they went on sale) they never point this out. They call it "a huge success". Again, selling a small arena out in a few days is not that spectacular for a popstar. but a failed second show in a small arena goes totally unreported.
In bulgaria she had to move her whole castle to a small arena for 15,000 people. the stadium she normally was gonna play at holds 50,000 people. Not only that, even for the small arena date there were STILL tickets on sale, and later they said that 12,000 tickets were sold. 12,000 out of 50,000? Again, why is no one reporting on this? And this isn't the only time. There are a lot of other stories similar to this, and it's not in the media. That IS suspicious.

1 concert out of the 30 concerts in Europe doesn't prove anything.
It was obvious that poor ticket sales in Bulgaria determined her team to change the venue. Why should they shout out that so that everyone knows? The only important thing about it is that her bulgarian fans got to see their idol live.
Most of you really do not understand, it's not JUST about stadiums and expensive tickets. A real artist tours so that his/her fans have a chance to witness their idol live in a concert. It's not about making the biggest tour ever or having the biggest attendance or crap like that.
Let's face the truth. All dates that were reported as SOLD OUT concert were actually sold out, unless they decided to add more tickets for the respective venue. And it was't Gaga's team that *****d out that she sold out that venue and the other venue in that record time, it was her fans. Only ATRL members and Lady Gaga's fans actually know that she managed to sell that many shows in such a short period of time. Most of the general public doesn't even give a **** about this, because all they wanna see is a great show, not how many people attended the concert they're at.
It wasn't her staff that took the press or announced on TV that she sold Twikenham in 50 seconds or other arena shows, it was her fans that did this, it was all over twitter and then the press started making articles about it. That's it, stop pretending that Gaga's team is trying to sell more dates by attracting more people at her shows just because she's such a SELLLOUT artist, because that's not THE TRUTH. All the people, besides some of her fans don't even give a **** about how many people are at the same show as they are
The reason they attended the concert is that they heard that Gaga can put on a great show, or they just knew it.

to Madge for slaying in the MDNA Tour.
welll welll look at the numbers in latin america and you´ll see who´s the queen =) and that´s the first time that the other girl come to latin america. mexico and colombia have underperformed while madonna have in every country (with the chilean exception) 2 concerts par city!!!
I'm so proud as a Canadian that she chose our country to be the only outdoor show! Wish I could have been anywhere in that show.
