‘SWEET’ ENCORE?
January 2, 2009 –
The success of Madonna’s 2008 “Sticky & Sweet” tour – she reportedly earned $280 million in ticket sales – may not have hit its final note. Madge (above) wrapped up her world tour last week, but a source told us, “She will be back in London this summer performing a few more shows.” We know one person who won’t be in the crowd – Guy Ritchie. Madonna’s ex-husband is living in the London home they once shared, while she held on to their Manhattan place. Her rep did not return e-mails.

THIS IS MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like the Sticky & Sweet Tour’s second leg will happen, Madonna is set to tour from May – September 2009 visiting Australia, Japan, Europe, Turkey and Israel. The show will have a revised setlist and a few costume changes and will not be so much focused on Hard Candy album.

Go go go Madge!
I hope she comes to Jordan it’s next to Israel.
is there any chance for another new single coming out? i mean to have another tour should be comes with a new single, right??
Celine Dion’s fans discussing on her forums:
“by the end of february when the tour its over SHE WILL KICK MADONNAS @SS!!! many concerts to come still!!!! ”
“After they count all the concerts in Mexico, Puerto Rico, American dates in December, and the 25 shows to go, she WILL beat MadwomanDonna”
Listen people, don’t you get it?????????
In the last several weeks Celine Dion has added extra dates in her Taking Chances Tour because she knew that she couldn’t gross more than Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet 58 dates, despite having twice more shows scheduled (about 120 dates).
Celine Dion fans have been complaining on her forums that they have been tricked, they bought expensive tickets for her supposed final shows, but after that several more date have been added continuously. Don’t you get it, what Celine’s team did was to add those extra shoes so that they can make sure she overpasses Madonna’s SS Tour?
Celine’s tour was officially programmed to be over around 12 February (the same when her tour started, a year ago), but now it’s 26 February, because team Celine added more shows, realising that TCT couldn’t outgross Madonna’s SS Tour with only those dates, even though they were already twice more shows than Madonna’s 58 (around 120, now thay are 134 because of the last dates added in the last moment).
What Madonna and Live Nation should do is to quickly announce a 2nd part for her SS Tour early this year and put ticketes for sales. Madonna can easily sellout several stadiums in Australia, Asia, Eastern Europe (Turkey, Russia etc) and for instance easily add 50 million $ to her total so far (280 million $), from only 10 shows
It would be such a shame for her tour not to ramain the first tour for a solo artist, because there were only 58 dates in only 4 months, whereas Celine’s has 134 dates in more than a year (with the extra shows added in the last moment on purpose to outgross Madonna)!!! and even so it will be so close!!!
Madonna should stop directing stupid movies next year that nobody cares about, cancel all her side projects and concentrate on adding some extra dates to her SS Tour, she only needs 10-15 stadium shows (over 50 million $ in gross) that she could do in a month or so to maintain her record! I’m sure that’s what her fans want!!!!!
Listen people…. can I please set the record STRAIGHT once and for all:
The Celine Dion “fans” are absolutely delusional to think Celine Dion will overthrow Madonna in any way shape or form.
There is absolutely no way miss Dion will over-record this record.
She’d have to do approximately do the numbers of shows as Madonna, and the tour logistics and crew has to be numbered, and the venues and everything.
Both Celine Dion and most Madonna fans do not keep in mind everything that comes with this magnitude of a tour. MAGNITUDE….
Miss Dions tour is not capable of this magnitude, it is ridiculous to speak of.
And I do not wish to go into great detail, so please.
Please, I urge you to not even care what some other fanatics say.
THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE ELSE WILL BREAK THE RECORD MADONNA HAS SET.
THIS HAS BEEN OFFICIAL IN ALL THE IMPORTANT MEDIA BILLBOARDS AND POLLSTAR, BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY/GLOBALLY.
(Celine should be extremely lucky she came into 2 nd place, considering her not-so-successful leg on the European ground).
And I will not confirm nor deny…. but let’s wait for a few special surprises from Madonna’s camp in the near future, people….. JUST WAIT
Long live the true one of all time……. MADONNA.
Bow.
peace.
Gosh, she s so beautiful

Celine has grossed 236 million until now with 25 more shows to go. She will surpass Madonna if she doesn’t add a second leg to the SS Tour!
European contracts have been signed and Madonna is set to announce second leg European Dates of S&S tour this week for summer 2009!!!!

“Celine’s tour was officially programmed to be over around 12 February (the same when her tour started, a year ago), but now it’s 26 February, because team Celine added more shows, realising that TCT couldn’t outgross Madonna’s SS Tour with only those dates, even though they were already twice more shows than Madonna’s 58 (around 120, now thay are 134 because of the last dates added in the last moment).”
Since Celine’s tour started last February, only a dozen dates were actually ADDED (Mexico, Puerto Rico and new shows in Quebec – where the tour was supposed to end) whereas a few US concerts were canceled and finally POSTPONED. That’s why the Taking Chances Tour ends now in late February, instead of February 15th. I really don’t think whoever works for Celine’s team is constantly adjusting her tour schedule according to Madonna’s grosses…
Anyways, the number of tickets sold is fare more important to me than the number of concerts scheduled: both Celine and Madonna have sold more than 2 million tickets in the countries they visited. I can see no difference in playing a big stadium once or twice rather than 8 times the same indoor arena…
lmao not one of the dates listed in here are correct
