Every concert sold out! Over 50k for 1 night :)

Katy's tour is doing well too!

[Push The Button]

Katy sold 20,000 tickets, played 3 dates and still didn't crack a million.

[Arabella21]

Thanks for the numbers.

I guess last week with all of Idol's "sold-out" dates looked too shady, so there's only one this time.

The tickets are very reasonably priced and I think that explains why she's not raking it in.
When I bought my November tickets for her Madison Square Garden show, I was very surprised that the ticket prices were lower than usual shows there.

I need new #'s from the Femme Fatale Tour

[MikeCheck12]

Guess that's not a bad thing that tickets were priced reasonably ....

[HolidayGuy]

I suppose those non-reported Damita numbers will remain unreported in Boixscore- though we do have the Pollstar mid-year chart accounting for those.

[Love Plastic Love]

Katy is still building her touring fan base. I think it should (if she has another cd or two that does well) expand pretty easily. It is very rare that artists can tour HUGE on basically one cd. Gaga is the one recent example I can think of that bucked the trend.

[Caviar]

But she also had TFM.

[treme]

Sade has played to over 400,000 americans already. Hopefully she'll pass half a million at the end of the american leg. Although she isn't selling out, she is making good money.

[Rumors]

Is this typical for Miranda? With all of her success the past two years the attendance here, in an arena that does very well for most artists, doesn't look very strong.

Her appeal and popularity are massively overrated.

I think most people are turned off by crap like her constantly trashing all the women she owes her career to. Literally every outspoken female entertainer (not just comics) that made it big before she did and made it okay for her, as a woman, to say what she wants on live television and on stage despite being in a male dominated industry attracts her venom whenever they are brought up in front of her.

Her mini tirades against Joan Rivers and Madonna are particularly perplexing.

Chelsea Handler wasn't even there. It was just a group of the regular comedians who do the roundtable on her talk show. That's why I questioned charging $32.50, and if you do the math, you can tell most of the tickets sold were in the $10 range.

Chelsea herself seems to be selling pretty well whenever her numbers do show up in the boxscores.


Miranda Lambert's sales aren't surprising. She's had a breakthrough in the last 12-18 months that's probably going to take another album to translate into her being a bigger touring act. Also, there's no way she needs to be charging $60 for top-tier tickets.

I said "basically" one cd. Katy also has two full, entire cds out. They are still both or were still both newbie artists though. You typically do not build that massive of a tour off the back of 1-2 cds. You do good, solid numbers and slowly build your touring fanbase and how much people are willing to spend on you.
Maybe I am wrong, but all the years I have spent watching charts and I don't remember a ton of pop stars having top 5 worldwide tours off the back of one or two cds or 2 years total in the business. Perhaps it is totally common and I just missed those huge numbers? Typically, it is just old fart bands in the top 10 and Madonna
