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!
The hatred towards women on this site is appalling.
does need more money?
even if this fucking old hoe pays me to go and watch her cunty show i'll tell her to go fuckherself !
Re: MAN-DONNA WANTED !!!!! DEAD !!!!!!!!! –
hehehe…I thought I waz radical…hahahaaha
IF money wasnt everything Perez, you fat fucking douche, you would not be commanding outrageous amounts of $$ in ads and sit on your fat fucking ass making gossip up. Ugly hypocrite.
Perez, you are too big a fag now. Your site isn't even worth coming to anymore.
The way you say "bitches" makes the dork come out of you.
Re: Reality – SHE GOT THEM FROM YOUR GRANDMA BITCH
Ok Perez…update this shit already im tired of looking at money-hungry madonna
what an absurd amount of money to see her show. she is not that great. and she doesn't even sing her biggest hits from the 80's. i dont respect her at all, sing the damn hits that MADE YOU FAMOUS.
To this cold hearted old hag… apparantly money is everything. She's gross with her stupid slut act at 50 years old. Go home you old whore and take care of your kids especially your little adopted boy before Malawi takes him back.. lord knows he'd probably be better off back in Africa instead of your stanky ass raising the poor kid. Money isn't everything old slut!
Sad. Our Queen is hurting the people. The Crown seems to sit now on a weak head.
We, the People, need to overthrow the Queen!
The Princess Must Step UP!
It's going to happen anyway, so why not make something from it? This is going to be a groundbreaking deal that many artists will have no choice but to follow in her footsteps. I love this new move with LiveNation.
DONT BUY HER CD!
DONT GO TO HER CONCERT!
ENOUGH WITH THIS BITCH!
DONT BUY HER CDS!
DONT GO TO HER CONCERT!
GRANNY NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!
DONT BUY HER CD!
DONT GO TO HER CONCERT!
If people are stupid enough to pay a scalper or at the box office let them be stupid. This ho is out of date, old and has not talent worth $300 or $3 dollars for that matter. Personally I'd rather sit home and watch AMC movie channel on a Saturday night than waste my time going to see a bunch of crap like her show. These entertainers are over paid anyway. Instead of making prices reasonable for the average person to see they are out gouging so they can sit up in mega mansions and drink champagne and think they are better than the average person on the street. Madonna is a whore and a bitch whose slept with an army of men in her life and I'm sure has genital warts by now.
Re: mADONNA OLD HAG – HATER….HER CD IS NUMBER 1 IN 30 COUNTRIES…U STUPID HATING BITCH….SHES MORE RICH THAN U ….HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
greedy bitch! Madonna isn't the first artist to do business with StubHub. Beyonce also demanded a cut from StubHub during her last tour. Remember when Beyonce scalped the concert tickets reserved for her fan club? How quickly people forget. I bet Madonna will scalp her fan club tickets too. I'm sure many artists are doing business with StubHub.
is it me, or does perezhilton really suck on the weekends?!?!?!?!!?
Perez would know. He demands $9000 a week per ad.
She has a lot of nerve. Her new album sucks. I agree with you #406 her name should be Madollar.
fuck HER bullshit!
This old rag album bombed in the US Billboard Charts and now that her career is finally over she need to suck every penny out of what ever fans she has left.
IN NYC they could not give tickets away to her last tour. NOT SOLD OUT AT ALL
I guess this why she is visiting other cites that she has not visited in 15 yrs !
Re: moimoi –
those were the good 'ol days…
her new album sucks hard candy, shit madonna, you couldn't come up with anything better than this!!
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.

suck it whores
Re: LATINO –
Oh please… Isn't there a border you should be sneaking over about now?
this cough cough lady has snowballed into a trashy act. i'm done with her Shock and Awe campaigns. it's embarrasing to watch her mature in age and stay immature at the same time. Rebellious grannies are nasty
Re: liz –
ITS NOT YOU
PEREZ
update JODERRRRRRRRRRR K PASA CONTIGO?
Oh yeah, Perez…I'm sure money isn't everything to you….you sell your soul daily on this inetrnet blog all for fame and fortune yourself…Money isn't everything MY ASS.
HYPOCRITE…not that you care because you're making money! Right??!
It's OK, c'mon.
I don't know if this is true-but If it is, girlfriend needs her priorities checked. Her kids are still at the age when they actually want to be around their Mom- the last tour was amazing, but I find her extremely self-indulgent this time around, She has a new baby boy, and she is gonna leave him to go on tour? Maybe she is a Man after all…
And people WILL pay it! She WILL play to packed arenas…..we all know that! She has adopted the same philosophy that Andy Warhol had…..to bring home the bacon! To them, art is nothing more than a money-making venture and if some beauty or artistry actually emerges in the process…..that was an unexpected bonus! I doubt if Madonna ever meant to be a "starving artist"…..this has ALWAYS been about money. Surely everyone out there knows that Madonna is the owner of one of the most formidable art collections in the world. Does it sound like she's doing all this for the sake of art? SUCKERS!
I'M SURE THEN, THE FANS–INCLUDING ME…WOULD NOT USE STUB HUB
TO GET TIX…
HAHA..
GO TO 1 OF THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF SCALPING SITES. SRSLY!!
MADGE NEEDS TO CHILL THE FUCK OUT…SHE'S GETTING SO MANY FUCKIN MILLIONS ANYWAY..SHE'S NOT GETTING SOOO SHAFTED. UGH.
Re: JC – Hey, Mr. economics: Maho sold her soul to the devil a longtime ago.
And once those tickets leave the original sellers, she shouldn't have jack to do with it.
She's greedy old hag.
Her next PR move: She'll be making some nonprofit, most likely controlled by her and her minions, the beneficiary of the tour. We the people, who funded the nonprofit, won't know how much money went where.
But maho will make MILLIONS.
Boycott Maho and StubHub…
"Money isn't everything in life!"
So why is there a blog entry about a sales competition between mariah and madonna everyday???
weak. very.
Re: Lyndsay lohan – Dear, she does something and the press doesn't know about it?
Who are you kidding?
She farts and turns it into an event.
She's the most selfish artist there is, and there will be severe backlash from this.
People are sick of performers who want to rape fan wallets.
Just remember kids: prostitutes do not care about you even when they say you do when they are fucking you. Madonna is an old washed up whore whose love of spreading STDs is only superceded by her love of money.
Madonna is a brand now and could give a crap about fans. She is the Exxon of music, how much money does this girl need? She should give a free concert to fans who can't afford $300 yuppy price. Please, this is not about being an artist but being a money making machine. Can anyone spell narcissistic?
That is soo fucked up
Stubhub is not just scaplers. It is a website for FANS to buy and sell tickets. I think this was a great move on Madonna's part and good for Stubhub too.
"money isnt everything" is that your quote perez?
are you hawking that ridiculous clothing line for free??? no you're a business…..
and all you people talking your shit…..she's selling a product…..if you were doing the same you'd want YOUR CUT now wouldnt you?
get off your soapboxes people!!!
Her ego is over the top. She isn't even a real person anymore.
who would pay that kinf of money to see this walking disease box. one dirty bitch. i would still bang her but would double up on the condoms. all guys like a pig.
She knows how unfair it is for scalpers to buy up all the tickets and sell them at an over-inflated price. I rarely go to concerts anymore because the cost is way to high…
-
The scalpers need to be eliminated in a major way…
Pay 300 dollars for a box seat at the metropolitan opera to see La Fille Du Regiment… not an underdressed, overhyped and over the hill prostitute.
She looks like an Elf here..
I don't like it either, Perez. I thought Madonna was past all that greed. Unless she uses that money for charity, then it's just plain greediness.
Disgusting greedy monstrous creature that would sell her soul to the devil for money! She makes me ill and those who follow her in droves are even sadder because you aren't fans you're cash cows to feed her sickening greed. Humanitarian…ha hahahahahaa….more like self centered, money grubbing egoist!
They need to change this kind of shit. Way to expensive to go see a concert. The scalpers immediately buy them all up, you are left going to ticket agencies and paying 3 x's as much. Won't do it!
Why do you insist on not working on Saturdays? Some of us need it to get through the day at work!!!! Selfish!!
FUCK Madonna, who would pay 300 to see her granny ass lip-synch on stage??? Greedy Bitch!
If this were any other singer, *every* comment would be against them. Since it's Madonna, some of you are saying "Good for Madonna! OMG Good businesswoman! Wow she's smart! Go Madonna!" Fuck that. It's fucked up for ANYONE to do that to their fans. Hard work? Other people work harder than her and get no recognition. Why is she so great? Because she's an old woman who is physically fit and can "sing" and dance? She's not the only grandma who is healthy.
perez where are you?? you havnt posted anything in ages
Who does this heffer-bitch think she is Jesus? psh. Its time to throw in the Towel madge.
That is shiteous!
Gay…enough with her pathetic ass already….
Re: the real thing –
ok, as far as the maid outfit, Madonna was photographed in a maid outfit YEARS ago, way before Gwen ever thought about it. and she has been making music since the 80's, so how has she always ripped off nelly furtado, kylie, and gwen and the others when she has been around longer?? hello??? think before you post please, thank you!!
it's Madonna, it's not LIve Nation. She does what the heck she wants always.
I'm not going to bother with this concert.
lol you guys are all such losers, it's hilarious reading your little hissy fits on how much you hate Madonna and what a bitch you think she is and that her career is over…..um…yah, that whole rant is getting kinda boring, it's been said over 25 years now and she's still the Queen of Pop, are you guys just that stupid to realize that nothing can stop this woman and your little comments only make her stronger lol.
I think it's a good idea, she might as well make money off of these ticket scalping bastards cause she has no control over who buys her tickets, so why not get a cut of it. Its business dumbasses. if you losers ever make anything of your lives except going on this blog every day to whine and complain like everyone else here and you actually became famous too, i bet you'd be doing everything you could to make yourself more money. Too bad you'll never amount to anything like Madonna has done with her life. There is a reason she is as successful as why she has made so much money.
So keep hiding behind your screens and sounding like a bunch of immature 10 year old kids cause no matter how much whining you do and how jealous you are of Madonna's career and life, nothing is going to hold her back and she'll always be the Queen of Fucking Everything!! I can't wait to get my tickets,and i'll pay the high price for it cause i love Madonna and i'm a fan, something you children obviously aren't.
Re: diji bear – hey its not about Jews or Kabala,.. Saturday is the day of rest, read the Bible… well, if you don't believe in Jesus then just forget about it, you are going to hell anyway ha
Mamonna, you are just crazy for charging $350 for a ticket, no mames! bajale a tu pedo, ni que estuvieras tan chava, well maybe she needs the extra money to get one of those oxigen beds like the Wacho Jacko sleeps in so he can have white and "young" skin, in that case leave the poor fugly hands woman get on your extra money coz to see that playing a guitar or grabing her crotch is yuckyyyyyyyym,,,, peace!
Shame on her, I grow up loving her, now I truly hate her.
Beside all the ticket BS, I know Madonna looks great for her age but her ass is too old to be up there half naked an such…..
She is Madonnna, we will see how many people go to her concert!
You all losers stay at home.
Money is everything in life
Re: MyTwoCent – I couldnt have said it better ! I would much rather watch old movies read good books and actually converse with a real person aka my husband Madonna lives in an unrealistic world she may have achieved her idea of happiness and that is her right but past that I certainly hopes she enjoys her lonely out of touch life with her out of touch children and her out of touch husband
What a greedy cunt…to turn on the people who made her great…it's certainly not the handful of rich asses who pay, but the middle & lower-class en masse who consumed her and her art.
Pathetic, I tell you! Pathetic! Also, didn't anyone ever tell her that the love of $$$$$$$$$$ is the root of all evil?
Sheesh.
Increase profits by doing something completely legal? Yeah, that sounds really strange perez, you idiot.
How about profiting off of photographs of drug addicted celebrities? Well, you do add your stupid comments to them. I guess that does add value.
How disappointing is to know that she's a fucking money grubber! But I hope I'm wrong and that she donates all these profits to Raising Malawi or any other charities.
unless Madonna is donating all of this money to charity, then I think she can take her concert tickets and shove them up her ass. She already has more money then I will ever have in 10 lifetimes, so why the fuck does she need to do this. If she had any respect for her fans, she wouldn't be doing this. If it weren't for her fans, she would have NOTHING! Now she is pretty much forcing the prices of her concert tickets to go up (and they were already to high to begin with) and now most of her real fans are not going to be able to afford to go to her show. I hope that everyone will just ban any Madonna concerts! I understand that she has been in the business for a long time and is very successful and for that, she should earn good money, but this is rediculous. Greedy bitch!
Hey, the 80's called… They really do not want you back… YOUR old and ICKY!!
Money is everything to MANDONA…she needs to go home and sit down…she is too money hungrey…nothing she does shocks me
This washed up hag was always just about the money….. she cant sing and always used sex to move up, i'm not a bit surprised she does this now. Im sure her queer fans will love her even more after this.
i do love Madge ALOT but this is a horrible idea!!!!!! Ticket scalpers make it so fans can not get tickets and THE TICKETS ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!
That is a demonic thing to do.
thats crap. When gwen stefani went on tour, she charged a $25 membership fee to get the best tickets. You then had to pick up tickets with your ID the night of the show when the doors opened (you put the name the tickets would be picked up under when you bought them). This way fans got the best tickets (for a small fee) and scalpers couldn't sell them (and trust me they didn't, no good tickets were rarely ever on ebay). If you care about your fans, thats how you do it. You don't encourage scalpers.
Nobody is forced to buy tickets from Madonna show
you buy it if you want it, if it's too much money, then you don't go, that's it
Madonna can sell the tickets, the amount she wants
it's her f. show and if you think you can't afford, then sorry
she can't please everybody
Seriously.. this is the first time in 25 years that I am offended by Madonna's actions IF it is the way Perez spelled it out. I've looked up to her a lot, but if she's playing dirty that's wrong. I mean, at least if you're gonna do it, give the extra cash to charity. Damn girl. Wrong, wrong, wrong. And really, her LIVE singing kinda blows, so we don't even wanna go see her sing. We just wanna see HER and dance the night away.
f#ck that! she's not trying to eliminate the problem, she's working with it and all at the expense of her fans. CHARGING OVER 100$ FOR A SEAT IS ABSURD!!!@#!.. nevermind 1000$. f#ck her a her little timbertoy
MADONNA IS A CONTRRADICTION IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD - SHE TELLS PEOPLE TO GIVE TO CHARITY - SHE CLAIMS TO HELP THE POOR YET SHE CHARGES OBSENCE AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR HER GIG - BUT JUDGING FROM HER PERFORMANCE ON THE BBC TONIGHT - SHE IS NOW AN OLD AS BEEN - SHE SHOULD RETIRE WITH GRACE.
um i think thats fucked she has made plenty money during her 30 year stint as a musician nd now she charges tons for her original tickets so she can take that money and also after she makes money from the original buys and from the scalped tickets greedy greedy GREEDY and one more time YOU ARE FUCKING GREEDY YOU MILLIONARE BITCH
She is a greedy BITCH… Fuck her
in order to buy tickets to her last sold out tour they advertised that if you paid to become a member of her fan club you could get tickets presale - so i PAID to be a fan and then i was told that i signed up too late to participate in presale despite the fact that the presale didn't start until about a week later. when i asked for my money back explaining the only reason i paid to be a fan (which is a ridiculous concept anyways) was to buy tickets in the presale i was told to go sit and spin. MADONNA AND HER PRESENTATIVE ARE ASSHOLES. i would NEVER pay to see her now - especially when I saw her give the entire audience the middle finger on her televised thanksgiving concert last year. she's past the point of being an artist and is clearly a self-righteous self-promoting slut who will do anything for a buck to add to her millions. well done you classless ho - funny how true colors show no matter what!
I WOULDNT PAY ANYTHING TO SEE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS NO VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND SHES TOO DAMN OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is so fugly.. I wish she would just disappear already off the scene… who wants to still see this old hag farting around.. yuck!
first off: 300 bucks for best seats? that is fucking ridicilous. i went to the christina aguilera concert, and her whole huge ass circus was like $95 for floor as far as i know. isnt madonna rich enough to not have to rip off her fans so much? just cuz she has sold a certain amount of records shouldnt mean that her fans are as rich as her! also and how much does the production of her tour cost? is it that huge that she needs to charge so much?
and the whole scalper thing is just low. come on! how greedy can you get! Re: CC –
People you need to stop acting like stupid sheep and buying into this old hag's shitty music and her idiotic shtick! Her music is shitty… she's a money grubbing old bitch. She's such an ass one week she's promoting her little Malawi film complaining that people should give money blah blah and then next week she's whoring herself out like some teenage tart. Go home and take care of your kids and your new little boy from Malawi you old whore… stop trying to act like you're 18… it's over woman… you're going to be 50.. are you still going to try and do this shit when you're 60? 70?? get a clue… try something new no one wants to see you jiggling your saggy tits around Justin Timberlake like some horny old cougar!! YUCK … GO SCREW YOURSELF YOU OLD BITCH … I WOULDNT PAY A PENNY TO SEE YOU AND YOUR OVERPRICED SHIT SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that's not even the real issue here. the real issue is that she is too fucking OLD to be wearing that kind of shit! EWWWWWWWWWw!
It's the way of the future. Of coarse she should get a cut. MADONNA
and you are surprised? because ???????? this bitch has always been about the $$$$$$$$$ that's why her fake ass Kabalah spiritualism and buying African babies is so repugnant and offensive. if crazy bitches wanna pay $300 for nose bleed seats to see this bitch sing offkey good for them, I am saving my $$$$ for Tina Turner, real talent and she cares about her fans, the high price tkts are $160
44
Greedy bitch! Mo money mo greed!
This tragic old hoe really gives Americans a bad name.
She IS COPORATE AMERICA and tries to act all radical and shit.
What a fake!
That's ridiculous - she shouldn't encourage scalpers - it's illegal!
i m a big madonna fan,but greedy is the first word that came to mind when i seen this post.Its pretty sad when you re that rich and you just keep milking it dry.
Get rid of the ticket brokers and things would change fast…
-
I would not go to a Madonna concert at $300.00 but I guess if she can get away with it and her tickets sell, and it is LEGAL, there is nothing wrong with what she is doing…
-
Basically, like anything in our market driven world, you can make a statement simply by not buying into it - that goes for Madonna tickets or any concert tickets -
WOW, F*CK THIS OLD HAG! Greedy, greedy, greedy. Why not try and come up with a way for scalpers "brokers" not to resell jacked up tickets?? Nope, she wants more money. Her new stuff sucks anyhow.
haha madge is the shit!!! cant wait ta see her in philly!!!
oh, what's the matter mario?
Have you realised that she you tubed you for extra exposture for herself.
AH, DERRR!!!! YOU PATHETIC IDIOT, SUCKED IN. You are so stupid, to even believe that she gave a shit about you. First, it's madonna,madonna etc.
Mariah's a bitch, etc. NOW, THAT SHE'S HASN'T GIVEN YOU THE TIME OF DAY!
YOU ARE BAD MOUTHING HER. THINK HARD MARIO! FIRST, kiss with britney, christina. Then, music with justin. then, your little video,(which u got a boner over)Then, another kiss with french woman in paris! C, EXPOSURE 4 HER
DER.DER,DER!!!! SO, HOW DO YOU FEEL, QUUEN OF ALL MEDIA.(THAT IS STOLEN,FROM OTHER SOURCES.*COUGH,COUGH* !!WANKER!!
LOOKS LIKE AN OLD HAG NO ONE WANTS TO SEE A 50 YEAR OLD WOMAN IN UNDERWEAR. SOMEONE OUGHT TO TELL MADGE TO RETIRE.
