Yes nearly selling out is exactly the same as selling out which is exactly the same as filling the seats.
You are correct.

These are all on the lower level... and $400 each. For big shows, the nosebleeds sell out quickly, since they are cheap. It is the sides of the stage and far corners that are left, since they are overpriced. Same thing happened with U2 in the same areas. They all will sell out before the show, but whether or not it is for $400 is TBD.

Stop! There's a narrative and we have to stick to it. I can never know what I'm talking about.
As a person who worked in the non-profit world during the Reinvention Tour era, my colleagues were directly benefited by the free tickets to the second night show. The show that the fans and the press perceived as a sold out show.

Hey I'm just going off what is been reported and according to them under 90 seats are available. And I guess the tour is doing more than fine Namo, I'm pretty sure they would not have announced more dates today, especially in the US. Seriously, give it up, you are so full of s**t that it's oozing out of your mouth. You don't like her, fine. However yet again, second tour flop prediction in a row is wrong. As I said to you when we had this SAME conversation with the last tour....better luck next time.

OK, but this isn't really a matter of debate. You can go on Ticketmaster and see they are wrong. Or, even easier, at the screen capture of Ticketmaster from yesterday that I posted. And that is with resale tickets turned off. A lot more tickets are available if you go by the people who have no intention of attending the show, but have tickets to sell.

You both have different definitions of what it means to be a flop. From this discussion, I imagine you will both be correct for as long as you both desire.
Namo says the tour isn't selling out, which is supported by an unbiased source called madonna.com/tour that has a "Get Tickets" button near most every date, and a SOLD OUT label on very few.
You go by journalists reviewing the show who say it was a packed house, sold out, or other things, because there is a person in every seat. And it is true that if Madonna reduces those $400 tickets to something reasonable, or donates them to local charities, people will sit in them so that journalist will not see any empty seats, so the venue will be at capacity, albeit not "sold" out.
I just hope someone Periscopes Amy Schumer, so I can see it without going, heh. She's the more exciting part for me.

Haterobics any of the straggler tickets left will be gone on the night (first night of the tour had people lining up to buy tickets which sold it out, same with Washington), the same will happen in NY. As I've said before you could buy tickets on the night for the past 4 tours, they all sold out.
namo you just keep getting Deeper and Deeper in to your bulls**t, so this ones for you baby

OK, but that is not the traditional definition of sold out. Sold out means you can't get in, long in advance, and scalpers are charging outrageous prices. Right now, you can buy tickets from the venue... admittedly also for outrageous prices, heh.
Like I said, if you define terms differently, you will be able to both be right about this. On the definition of sold out, though, Namo definitely wins. If you can get into a concert almost right up to show time... that's not sold out. At this close to the concert dates, U2 had no tickets available from the venue for 8 shows at MSG. It was all secondary market.

There's finally a full show up on YouTube so I'm happy I can at least see it this way. And I'll say that she sounds absolutely fantastic. When I get back home in a few hours, I'm going to sit down and watch this from start to finish, I'm really excited.

Does she turn down the AC for this concert? Wondering if MSG will be a sweat lodge.

She has to protect her instrument. No diva likes to grab her own frozen va-jay-jay.
Posted: 9/15/15 at 4:00pm
I'm guessing the air con will be turned down, she does it all the time. Thank god the one I'm watching is in Dec.
Posted: 9/15/15 at 4:05pm
If she's gonna be uncomfortable and sweat for 2 hours, she's gonna make damn sure the audience is the same.
Posted: 9/15/15 at 4:20pm
"Straggler tickets" are the new "buzz single."
Posted: 9/15/15 at 5:19pm
Well, a Bikram Yoga class is like $30 separately, so when you look at it that way, the Madonna concert drops down to $370...
Posted: 9/15/15 at 5:22pm
Ripped Man, When you go to the show, I was wondering if you can make a mental note on the following? The percentage of the show performed main stage, percentage in the center and the far stage. I know the full concert is listed on youtube but I may still see this and want the show to be fresh. I have a chance for a really good seat three rows from the center "t" on the floor. If it was in my home city I'd buy it without thought. But concert is six hours drive from me and in January. (Cold) Thanks, I appreciate it.
Posted: 9/16/15 at 12:52am
Totally. My friend and I are going after making a drunken ticket purchase. I wouldn't call either of us Madonna "fans," but I'm super excited to see her, and hope she puts on a spectacular show. Plus Amy Schumaer is opening, so that'll be a blast.
Posted: 9/16/15 at 6:06am
Did Amy Schumaer start on time? What time did Madonna go on Ripped Man?
Posted: 9/16/15 at 7:10am
Her New York dates start tonight.
