You Must Love Me / Don’t Cry For Me Argentina (Buenos Aires, Dec 04)

Further to this morning’s announcement regarding the rescheduling of the Buenos Aires performances, Madonna personally sends this message to her fans.

“I am so disappointed that I had to cancel my show tonight. I’ve been so looking forward to these four shows in Argentina. When I found out my stage was not going to arrive due to plane delays, I started to cry. Fortunately I am able to make up the show and I am very sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone. I look forward to seeing you all at River Plate Stadium tomorrow night and this weekend.” Love, Madonna

Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour in Los Angeles (November 06 2008) – Pictures by Chris

Madonna decided to cancel a series of tour dates in Australia, according to Sydney Sunday newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. The gigs pulling-off reportedly happened because of current global crisis which resulted on the high-price tickets people can’t afford to buy.

A source said as quoted by the publication, “It got as close as anything ever gets. Madonna was coming to Australia, the dates were resolved, then economics got in the way.” In line with the source’s statement, local promoter Michael Coppel stated, “Everyone is feeling their way. The risk level has gone up substantially.”

Beside Madonna, Neil Diamond, Paul McCartney, Eagles, Green Day, and Metallica also scrapped their Aussie tour dates due to the economic crisis. “It’s unknown territory at the moment. A lot of tours went on sale before the dollar crashed. We are only starting to see the affect of the economy on the tour industry,” promoter Michael Chugg explained.

Madonna has wrapped up her “Sticky & Sweet” tour on November 26 at Miami’s Dolphin Stadium. From the 28-date roadshow, kicked off on August 23 at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, she earned a total of $91.5 million profit with over $207 million in ticket sales.

Madonna wraps the North American leg of her Sticky & Sweet tour tonight in front of 50,000 people at Dolphin Stadium in Miami.

The 28 dates in North America have grossed about $91.5 million and moved about 550,000 tickets, according to tour producer Arthur Fogel, chairman of global music for Live Nation.

Next up is Mexico City, beginning Nov. 29. Counting her European run, Madonna is currently at about $207.5 million in ticket sales and on a pace to hit about $282 million when Mexico/South America wraps. That would make Sticky & Sweet the top-grossing tour ever by a female artist or solo artist.

The tour wraps Dec. 18 – 21 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
