Not Even For Free

February 20, 2020 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] You have to give this girl a solid “B” for effort.

She’s a bit long in the tooth – and her records don’t sell like they once did – but she puts a lot of effort into self promotion and staying in the headlines. Yes, even it it means a little fakery here and there!

Despite her efforts, though, she is not having a lot of success on her concert tour. She keeps cancelling dates based on one malady or another.

Yes, she’s sick/injured.

Sick of playing to empty venues, that is!

And her ego is deeply wounded!

She just can’t fill up a venue any more, even with $40 seats. Even the usual resellers won’t buy tickets because they know they’re going to get stuck with that inventory. 

[Her team] bought huge blocks of tickets and tried giving giving them away for free so at least the venue would look full.

Did that work?

People took the tickets but then didn’t show up! It’s like [year redacted] all over again!

Back in that year, Singer did play to venues that were over half empty. It was embarrassing for her. Her people wound up standing outside the venue and giving the tickets away, and they still couldn’t fill the seats!

Singer was so upset looking out over the audience that she started telling people during the concert to move down from the “cheap” seats and fill up the empty spaces. This created a nightmare for security and pissed off the fans that had actually shelled out money for the “good” seats. She can’t repeat that disaster.

The one thing she won’t do? Put the tickets on Groupon.

If she tried to sell the tickets for a big discount on Groupon (like for $10) everybody would know that the tour was in trouble.

So, for now, it looks like her best bet may be to cancel dates at the last minute and then trying to consolidate two or three or four dates’ worth of buyers into one performance!

  16. Babycham says

    February 20, 2020 at 5:09 pm

    Sounds like Madonna.
    The best thing for her to do is instead of having a list of venues to perform, she should put all her energy into a one off filmed show, then a dvd could be available for everyone to enjoy.
    I would have liked to have been to one of her concerts, when she was at her peak. I want to remember her as the successful entertainer that she was.

  17. High Steppa says

    Gwen Stefani and her Las Vegas residency.

    And no, not even with huge discounts lol Her old singlesare good but that’s it. I don’t think she’s intereting as an artist/singer

  41. heartcouture says

    February 20, 2020 at 3:25 pm

  44. Zafona says

    February 20, 2020 at 3:18 pm

    Totally Madonna. I was on her concert a few years ago although I’m not a fan but the thickets were cheap so I went… and the audience was around 50% empty already then. The performance was bad too I left after half an hour. She doesn’t really sing just dances awkwardly and tries to shock people doing weird stuff. I wouldn’t go for another show even for free.

  45. pawpaw says

    February 20, 2020 at 3:12 pm

    I wouldn’t go even if the tickets were free

  48. zappy2050 says

    February 20, 2020 at 3:06 pm

    Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey.

    Play to smaller venues. Not as prestigious -but if you are “long in the tooth” (not my words) – things might have expired.

    Want to be “on tour?” Then do it at smaller venues.

    • zappy2050 says

      February 21, 2020 at 12:12 pm

      Yes, Madonna makes sense. In that case, I don’t think smaller venues will help. Madonna needs to retire.

    I’d pay $10

  55. silence1534 says

    February 20, 2020 at 2:37 pm

    Madonna

    I would pay $40, but I can understand why others wouldn’t. She’s no longer pushing the boundaries like she was in the 80’s and 90’s, she’s older and trying to be youthful when needs to accept aging more gracefully.

  57. Cheezieb says

    February 20, 2020 at 2:33 pm

    Gwen Stefani and her many Vegas show cancels. When she was in MN for the superbowl a few years back they had to downsize the venue and tickets were first discounted then offered for free for casino patrons.
    I think b for effort is a clue – hollaback girl b for bananas. What would I pay? Ummm I was offered free tickets and still didn’t go. LOL

  58. challows says

    February 20, 2020 at 2:23 pm

    I’ll amend that to Lana Del Rey

  59. jeepster says

    February 20, 2020 at 2:20 pm

    lana del rey? she cancelled her UK and EU tour this morning as apparently she lost her singing voice and was told by doctors to rest for 4 weeks… her albums have been pretty successful, especially NFR, but having had seen her live before she doesn’t exactly fully sell out arenas?

    am one of the ones who got cancelled on this morning and paid £65 +booking fees. i think that price is fare, would to be honest pay up to a £100. would love to get a free tickets just outside the arena though

  60. beachchick218 says

    February 20, 2020 at 2:20 pm

    Madonna. I wouldn’t pay one red cent. Her music is nasty and she is nasty.

    It might serve her better to retire or do one or two concerts a year.

    It’s funny she wouldn’t let her kids listen to her music, but she wasn’t to principled to get rich on the backs of everyone else’s kids listening to her filth.

    Empty venues? Karma.

  64. Arisia says

    My first thought was Celine Dion.

    • High Steppa says

      February 22, 2020 at 5:39 am

      I went to Celine’s Vegas residency early last year and it was a packed house. So I think she’s still good.

    • violetandsnoopy says

      February 25, 2020 at 1:38 pm

      Celine had a very good run in Las Vegas.
      She made money like Elton John. $$$$

    Probably I’d pay £50 these days.

    Thing is, no one’s music is selling like it did. The last thing the music industry is about is selling the music.

    • violetandsnoopy says

      February 25, 2020 at 1:44 pm

      I actually saw Madam X and it was a good show because she plays at smaller venues but it starts at a crazy hour and No cell phones with cameras out.
      Her live songs are soooo much better.
      I suspect that she will record live plus tape her show and salt it away, ha ha!

    Would not go to see her.. even for free

  75. Delightful says

    February 20, 2020 at 1:44 pm

    It’s Madonna and it breaks my heart. I saw her twice- once in 2001 or so on the Music tour, and it was awesome. Saw her again in 2011 or so on the MDMA tour and it was not good. She doesn’t need to keep doing this, she should retire from the road and just make music for her own fun and enjoy her life.

    • bertwheeler says

      February 21, 2020 at 11:07 am

      This is probably the only way she makes good money. Her albums don’t sell, and her songs aren’t played on radio (except her earliest hits on oldies stations, and she has to split those royalties with others).

    I’m gonna say Madonna, though I’m thinking of Gwen Stefani too. It could fit either one,

    I wouldn’t pay to see either and you’d have to pay me A LOT to sit through one of their ‘shows’.

  84. aaaAtika says

    February 20, 2020 at 1:36 pm

    Madge’s Madame X tour!
    She’s a hasbeen and I would not pay for her effort to pretend she ain’t passed 60 yet!!!!

    Janet Jackson. She just needs to stop touring. No one wants to see her perform anymore.

    • Ruddiger says

      February 25, 2020 at 9:08 am

      It would seem so at first – but bits do not add up.
      Madge has cancelled gigs due to illness, but tickets to the remaining dates are still $400 plus (with full houses). Her last tour also made millions.
      This blind is Gwen Stefani – a quick search of ticket sites shows hundreds of tickets for $40 on all days… Even the front pit is still available at most shows for $100….
