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!
Never thought I wouldn't try to get tickets for a Maddy show, but it has happend. She is only playing the really big, shittie stadiums here in Europe, tickets are way too expensive and the tour is so short that they're won't be any extra concerts. She is just taking the money and apperently doesn't care about the fans….stupid Live Nation deal….I'm really worried becaue the loves of my life U2 have also signed with Live nation….
Hi
it s discrimination… financial discrimination .. She probably learned that from THE KABBALAH CENTER… they do that too.. that s why the pair works out so well together…
I ve been a fan for the last 25 years.. but I just don t buy it this time around…

what do you think?
The only reason she made the documentary is because she wants an oscar the bitch doesn't care about Africa she works in Africa because she wants to convert the Africains to Kabbalah.
What a shame… Her greed is staggering. Her narcissism is staggering. She is like the kind of evil female that picked on shy insecure little boys all through grade school and high school. Just about everything about her is wrong. The only thing she's done right was her support for Gay Rights but even that may have been just for publicity. When it comes to that woman, everything is always about herself.
She doesn't respect or care about her fans. I'm certainly not one of her fans but still it saddens me to see people get taken for a ride by someone ruthless and uncaring. She is akin to an cold stripper who works to crowd for money.
If Madonna was at least a true artist, like Robert Smith, Thom Yorke, Jarvis Cocker, Morrissey, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell (and thousands more) and her music had value, then maybe her behavior could be excused. Then again, if she was a true artist she would probably not be that greedy. She only has a sandwich made of cold feces to offer to her fans. She doesn't deserve her success on any level.
