Wow, I get banned for a month and come back to the amazing news that The Born This Way Ball Tour is selling out ever so effortlessly in Asia and Oceania. I was actually quite worried about Australia since they seem to have the same type of musical taste as America and they weren't really here for the "Born This Way" singles, but I guess this just goes to show that Gaga is a touring artist and a force to be reckoned with. I suppose even with all of the outlandish outfits and crazy antics, she has proven to the world that she is a talented performer, and no matter whether or not you buy her songs, seeing her live will totally be worth the money you pay. I'm hoping she continues to add dates in Asia because I believe she could gross $100,000,000 alone from her Asia and Oceania dates. She, if she wants, needs to milk Asia for every damn penny because she could pull a Rihanna and perform in certain Asian cities over and over again. My faith in the US leg is slowly beginning to come back because if common sense can tell us anything, it's that if she can sell out in a country with 30,000,000 people, she should have no problem selling out in a country with 350,000,000 people. Can't wait for her to outgross certain other popstars' tours so that there will be yet another Gaga-induced meltdown.
Do you guys think the tour will help the album sell more? Realistically speaking, the reason The Fame Monster did so well was because of how massively successful the tour was. It seems as if people who don't have the album go to the show with their friends and end up buying the album if they enjoy the show. I don't know if this is a little generous, but I'm expecting around 1,000,000 more copies to be sold worldwide if The Born This Way Ball Tour continues with its current success path.
