Madonna Wants Your Money - ALL Your Money, Bitches!!!
Filed under: Madonna > Music Minute
We're not sure how we feel about this!
Not only does Madonna charge upwards of $300 for the best seats on her tour, but now she wants a piece of the ticket scalpers' pie.
Yup!
Ticket scalpers (or "brokers" as they like to be called) buy up the majority of concert tickets, leaving many die hard fans to turn to other venues to buy their tix.
Now, Madonna is going into bed with the enemy!
Her Madgesty is the first artist to make a deal with StubHub, which is owned by eBay and lets people legally scalp (or "resell") their concert tickets.
M will get a base fee PLUS a cut of all the ticket sales.
So, in theory, the higher U pay for your ticket on StubHub, the more money she makes.
Why would Madonna (or anyone) wanna encourage ticket scalping/reselling????
Money isn't everything in life!
FIRST!
So she's double dipping…wow
Makes great business sense to me! Madge is pops Bill Gates!
SECOND BITCHES!!
MADONNA'S VAGINA HAS WARTS.
That is such a weird idea. I hate when people resell tickets for a massive profit. They don't even want to go to the concert when they buy them yet someone who is actually a fan has to pay three times the normal amount just to get a good ticket. How does that make any sense?
This is also a stupid idea because the majority of scalping is not going to be done via this site– although she will get some profit. Maybe now that people know she is getting a cut of the money– taking money out of the scalper's pockets, they'll opt for some other method of selling them?
It's not like she needs the money anyway. Just let her fans go to the darn concert for a reasonable fee!
THIIIIIRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!
Additionally, art should NEVER be made solely for the generation of profit… that's kind of what I feel she is doing here.
how rude i hope this isn't the beginning of a new celeb trend LETS RIP OFF OUR FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Money hungry cunt
i dunno what number i am and i hope its not eight pages yet!
that does suck, about the tickets though.
damn!
what a grouchy grandma. must be starting to have hot flashes. maybe she is a single parent now. she knows fewer people are jumping into her sinking ship of popularity and the gays are all tired from too many drugs and probably cant stay awake for the whole concert. bitch is washed up. and i LOOOOOOOOOOOVe music. her crap isn't music, i listened to the new album and it sucked. shes a hack
Very greedy!
she's great!
wow! the best business woman in the world!
the bitch's ego is through the roof, and i wouldn't pay $300 to watch her granny ass flop around and lip synch
Money Hungry Hoe
Greedy bitch.I hope the majority of her scalped tickets end up on ebay instead.
greedy. she doesn't care about the working class- which is the majority of her fanbase. the working class who takes a week of hard work to earn enough money just to get a decent seat at her concert. how much money does she need? how much money do her fans need? i was considering going to her tour catch her this tour but i don't want to give this bitch one dime. the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
MADONNA IS A M O N E Y D E V I L

I remember when the argument used to be: who would stand the test of time? Madonna, or Cyndi Lauper? Our teenage money used to be on the artistry of Cyndi. How naive we were not to understand the ultimate importance of being a business woman.
sounds like the love affair is over.
She's Madonna so she figures she can I guess. This will not discourage scalpers!
sounds like the love affair is over.

Perez you cunt ass bitch, you know exactly how you feel about this. But you are terrified to call out her 'madgesty for what she is. . . groping for material gain as she slips away. . . You have your lips so firmly attached to the power structure that your fifteen minutes of fame are officially over. Sell out, but you can't take it with you.
That sux! she shouldn't encoage that…
yea shes greedy. but then again, stupid people will pay that much to see her for an hour. they need thier heads looking at!
I don't care what she does -IT'S HER DAMN CONCERT, MUSIC & HARD WORK!
She's one of the last ACTUAL ARTISTS that WORKS FOR HER ART! THIS WOMAN PUTS ON AN AMAZING, SEAMLESS SHOW THAT RUNS LIKE CLOCKWORK! AND SHE'S ALMOST 50, WHILE TARTS HALF HER AGE ARE FORCED DOWN OUR THROATS AS THE NEXT BEST THING, ONLY TO BOMB TEN SECONDS LATER. I'LL PAY TOP DOLLAR TO SEE HER, JUST LIKE I HAVE BEFORE.*** AND FUCK YOU, PEREZ, FOR BEING CRITICAL OF HER, WHOM YOU SUPPOSEDLY WORSHIP*** NONE OF THE INDIE ONE-HIT-WONDERS THAT YOU PLUG ON YOUR SITE WILL EVER REACH HER STATUS. I DON'T SEE WHY SHE SHOULD LET SCALPERS PROFIT FROM HER OWN DAMN WORK.
and yet again she isn't coming to Australia - COME TO AUS MADGE!!!
Fuck that money grubbing, black baby stealing, cradle robbing, dennis rodman dick sucking, fake ass implants, steroid taking, smelly fish….cant sing worth a damn, dingbat!
Good for Madonna! I know what it's like to pay high prices for tickets because I always want to be up front. I would rather see an artist I love make more of the money I spend for the priveledge of seeing them. If I'm willing to spend a grand over face value for a ticket, why should the act get the same amount of money as they would if I had bought it from TicketBastard?
That's gay! Like the old girl doesn't have enough fuckin money. That's just pure greed.
I HATE Stubhub.com - it's a scam that the powers are making seem like a deal.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT A SHIT YOU ARE. I THINK MADONNA DESERVES CRITICISM FOR ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR EXISTENCE, NOT FOR BEING A GOOD BUSINESS-WOMAN. AT YOUR LEVEL, YOU'RE DESPERATE TO EXPAND YOUR "BRAND" AND YOUR NAME, AND YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE TO BE AND MAKE ***MORE***. WATCH YOUR KARMA, BUDDY -YOU'RE ON THIN ICE. I FELT DISGUSTED WITH YOU FOR YOUR HATE-VOMIT ON (SICK) BRITNEY SPEARS, BUT I REALLY DO FUCKING HATE YOU NOW, 'CAUSE MADONNA'S MY IDOL. F*U*C*K Y*O*U!!!!
(Full disclosure: I entered to win the exclusive tickets to Madge's recent NYC gig here on Perez's blog knowing that, if I were to win, I'd list them on eBay. Baby needs an updated stainless steel microwave.) BUT: IF I win the Tina Turner tix (for which I also recently entered to win)–I AM THERE, bitches.
She's a stupid skank! How dare she do this! FUCK MADONNA!
ahh..because she is a cunt. she doesn't "care" about anything but money. This is the same Madonna that we have always known. Perez..do you agree that she markets herself to kids and is all sexed up yet doesn't let her own kids watch TV?– C-U-N-T!
I think there is method in her madness. she will do something for charity with that money id assume
Yeah….but who else is going to feed the millions of starving africans who have aids and do not have access to the deluxe version of the album hard candy that comes with actual hard candy…jesus perez do u think??? Pssssh
She says in her songs she's going to hell anyway so she'd better make the most of this earthly life.
First time I have ever commented on this site.
This is just lame. Terrible. In an age when more and more artists are giving away their product for free, she turns around and does this. Makes me sick.
People will just stop using StubHub for Madonna tickets then!
www.drfunkenberry.com already reported on this and has ticket prices up from stubhub!
Holy crap those tickets are outrageous.

As a Madonna fan, I've been pretty lucky managing to get tickets from the official seller for her last three tours…I understand she wants to earn what she rightfully deserves and not allow ticket scalpers to juice her own work, but this does NOT STOP re-selling, it is only going to become HARDER, MORE EXPENSIVE and a TRULY ABUSIVE situation for fans, the people that from the start have bought all her albums, supported her unconditionally…
it is all slightly disappointing
GOOD CALL PEREZ….THE 1ST TIME I AGREE WITH U
Re: Baba – Re: Wendy Porter – no difference.
Cause if you know that someone is making 500$ from something YOU ARE DOING,from YOUR WOrK….you feel robbed and you want a piece of it!!!
MAKES SENSE
ITS HER TOUR
SHE SHOULD BE THE ONE MAKING MONEY OUT OF HER OWN WORK
NOT GREEDY SCALPERS
I WOULD IF I WERE HER
BESIDES
U KNOW
ALL THE OTHER FAMOUS PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW HER ON THIS

Mean… I think that is mean.
What does SHE needs this extra money for??
I'M A LONG TIME MADONNA FAN BUT HAVE TO SAY SHE IS A MONEY GRABBING WHORE. I'M SICK OF HAVING TO PAY EXTORTIONATE PRICES TO SEE HER LIP SYNCHED SHOWS WITH HER COVERED IN SWEAT. SHE EVEN MAKES HER FANS WAIT FOR A WHOLE HOUR BEFORE GETTING HER OLD ASS ON STAGE. THE TICKET PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS SO I DONT THINK I WILL BOTHER SEEING HER IN CONCERT THIS YEAR. FUCK HER.
I WOULD RATHER THAT THE PROFITS GO TO MADONNA WHO ACTUALLY WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY THAN SOME FAT SLOB TICKETBROKER. THE SECONDARY MARKET WILL EXIST WHETHER MADONNA GETS INTO IT OR NOT. SHE JUST DECIDED THAT SHE DESERVES A PIECE OF THE PIE. IT'S HER TOUR, IT'S HER SHOW AND IT'S HER BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS SO WHY SHOULDN'T SHE.

Madonna is very greedy. She obviously doesn't care about her real fans.
Re: LICKMYNUTZ –
stay at home..thanks.
It's funny. America likes just about anything. So, when this immoral douche stepped into everyone's world, America could only shout "MORE!" I used to love her when she didn't take herself so seriously. C'mon now, we need someone with talent, and I guess when Brit fell from grace, we had to go back to Madonna. This woman has way too much, and I don't think she appreciates it anymore. Greedy.
So does Obama…and maybe he gonna let Michelle do Madonut for a little kitty kitty cash to let us all watch pay per view scratch and sniff y'all!

Buenas Hilton, espero ke te guste la dedicatoria.
TICKETS SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET ARE A SEPERATE ISSUE. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS HER TICKET PRICES ARE WAY TOO HIGH FOR THE KIND OF SHOWS SHE PUTS ON. THE SAME APPLIES TO MOST OF THESE MUSICIANS WHO SET PRICES WAY TOO HIGH FOR THEIR GIGS. I DONT SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PART WITH MY HARD EARNED CASH TO PAY FOR SOMEONE WHO CANT EVEN SING LIVE.
Re: sandro – YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE YOUR FINGER OUT OF YOUR SISTERS VAGINA WHILE YOU'RE DOWN THERE IN THE CELLAR.
At least Mariah can sing LIVE! Grandma Madge mimed her way through Roseland. Haha!
wake up. it's the way of the world…are scalpers giving a lg % of thier profits to charity? NO. but i bet madge is…. so let her be robin hood with the sum profits….do the math.
who wanna see this old bag on stage anywayz. vadge is just shit vocalist is just about her surgery looks and spastic dancing!!!!!!!!
I SAW KYLIE IN CONCERT A FEW DAYZ BACK AND SHE WAS VERY VERY GOOD. OLD MADONNA DONT GOT NO STAGE PRESCENCE AND SHE CANT SING PERIOD!
I'm not sure what the problem is here. There is no way to stop re-selling, so Madonna and her business people have decided to approach the oroblem in a different way.
Just like with paid-for downloads, all artists will do this in future and then it will be a non-argument.
madonna rips off Gwen and Nelly on her new album so nothing original here. her song Piles Away is a rip off of Gwens The Real Thing so I wont be giving this greedy ho my money for a crappy concert full of video screens and no performing trust me

EAT THAT ALL YOU STUPID MADONNA FANS !!
Re: ***KYLIE***LIGHT YEARS*** –
Kylie has as much stage presence as as my 2 year old god-daughter. And remember, her last album is worldwide bomb, only making it to an embarrasing 139 in the US charts.
Don't compare Kylie to Madonna (who's new album has shot to number 1 in 27 countries, including the US, around the world) as Kylie loses EVERY time.
www.meetnudemen.com
DOES THIS RICH CUNT EVEN NEED MORE MONEY??? SERIOUSLY - SHE SHOULD RETIRE. WHAT A FILTHY GREEDY MONEY HUNGRY FAME WHORE.
GRANDMA EVEN HAS TO SUCK FACE WITH A GIRL TO SPARK UP INTEREST IN HER LOUSY ALBUM. ONLY QUEERS WITH NO KIDS AND TOO MUCH MONEY WILL SPEND ALL THEIR MONEY ON THIS CUNT BECAUSE THEY HAVE EMPTY LIVES WITH NO PURPOSE. GREEDY FUCKIN PIGDONNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tragic. I'm glad someone is calling out ebay on letting tickets being scalped legally. Shame on any artist that would support this.
Re: the real thing –
Gwen Stefani wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for Madonna.
Re: Timmy – Ah but Kylie can at least sing to a crowd Timmy. And I doubt your god-daughter could even afford to wipe her own ass let alone afford a concert ticket. That's all.
How can Madonna change her fans so much money $300, that's really sad, thats all madonna wants money money money! how focking greedy, not eveyone is rich out there! i was gonna see her in london but now i will wait for the DVD! Greedy Moo!
PEREZ WE ARE SIIIIICCCCCK OF THIS WENCH AND WE ARE SICK OF YOU PROMOTING HER!!!!!!
SHES TALENTLESS, I WOULD NEVER WAIST MY MONEY FUNDING HER LAVISH LIFESTYLE
HER ALBUM ONLY SOLD 280,000 COPIES IN THE USA, MARIAHS SOLD 500,000 NEARLY TWICE AS MORE! MADONNA IS A WENCH STOP LETTING HER PAY YOU FOR PROMOTION
RE:#74 - timmy says – reply to this
Re: the real thing –
Gwen Stefani wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for Madonna.
AND MADONNA WOULDNT HAVE A CAREER iF THERE WASN'T A ELVIS BEFORE HER….HELLO!!!
Re: timmy – gwen began with no doubt who were more inspired by blondie and debbie harry rather than that old hag vadgedonna. get your facts right asshole
well, if you had a brain you would know why HER company, is doing this.
They have lost millions upon millions with free mp3 downloads etc…
And they want to maintain they lifestyle. It's simple. They are accustomed to living rich and want to stay super rich, not just in the low millions.
U2 and all the big biggies are in the same boat.
u2 SELLS kids memberships to their 'fan club'. yuck. for what…bonos coke and prostitute habit ? ugly.
im a die hard fan of madonna's but this is fucked up. I've bought *ALL* of her CD'S. books, fuck i even have OLD ass tapes from the 80's and 90's i have tons of shit that i've spent my money on and the bitch wants MORE???! what the fuck? I'VE always wanted to see a madonna but it's always been outrages ticket prices.
shes such a cunt.
Why shouldn't she make the money off the tickets it's either them or her and I'd rather see her get it.
