Total gross so far

The number should be updated. Pollstar has provided the total gross for the 2015 dates: 88 million dollars. Source: http://www.pollstarpro.com/files/charts2015/2015YearEndTop100WorldwideTours.pdf

Firstly please sign your posts and secondly, the final numbers are still not in and until that comes in from Billboard (which is official for boxscores) we do not add the total gross. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 19:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Her total gross is $1.31B and not the typo that appears here ($1.13B). Please correct this, some Wikigod. Source: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.5.100 (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Controversy section?

I know this is going to sound pretty self-explanatory, knowing that Madonna has had a long ray of controversy, but my question is... Should there be a controversy/criticism section about this tour? Long story short, this tour has indeed received a huge backlash due to a lot of things that I believed should be added into the article (and that its so inevitable not to add in my opinion). For example;

• Madonna's lateness! I went to her concert in New Zealand, and she was late (but never mind my personal observation, and I loved it overall anyway). Several media publications in North America,(link, link, link) the United Kingdom, (link, link, link) China, (link) New Zealand, (link, link) and Australia (link, link, link) have widely reported about Madonna's tardiness, and has spark a lot of backlash particularly with fans and some reviews. Even Australian fans had received refunds due to her lateness (link). I think this issue should be included into the article.
• Flag issues. She caused controversy with her use of the Philippines flag, which according to their law, you cannot use the flag as a prop or any other use. And, Madonna did. She was threatened that she may face legal action and future ban from the country for the incident. (link, link, link, link) Madonna also caused controversy for using the Kuomintang flag on social media and not their current Taiwanese flag. (link, link)
• Use of religious symbolism in Singapore (not that controversial, but could be added). (link, link, link) Also in Singapore, the age restriction by the local government. (link)
• Ticket scandal in New Zealand (I was there, and I witnessed it all). The concert seating had been changed without early reasoning or warning, and tickets ordered from another website did not received information about seating changes. This means tickets purchased through that website were rendered invalid. (link, link)
• Sexual harrasement segment. She pulled a woman's top down, which exposed her breast to the public. This one may not be added possibly, but if Madonna can pull her own top down during the Istanbul concert for the MDNA World Tour, surely this can be mention (plus, comments on sections of the articles suggest its "assault"). (link, link, link, link)

I think majority of the reasons listed above can be added to the article, but I just want a general consensus to see if its appropriate or able to be added in a new section titled either Controversies or Criticisms. Cheers CaliforniaDreamsFan (talk · contribs} 06:22, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Wow this is huge research CaliforniaDreamsFan, would you wanna start a section? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:46, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, and I will be happy to start it off IndianBio CaliforniaDreamsFan (talk · contribs} 17:39, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

It's a major concern that untruths reported in publications like The Daily Mail are being reported here as fact. The claim that on average, shows in Melbourne and Brisbane started 3-4 hours late is completely and utterly untrue, yet it's in an encyclopedic article. The support act was due at 8pm and Madonna was due at 9pm. In Brisbane on the first night, she was 2 hours and 20 minutes late. On the second night, they announced that she would not be on stage until 10pm - she arrived at 10:20pm, so she was 20 minutes late. She was slightly late in Melbourne for the first show and later for the second, but definitely not 3-4 hours late (this would have her hitting the stage at midnight or 1am, which did not happen). A TV media report also stated that for the second show in Brisbane, even though refunds were offered to people who were worried about the possibility of a late start, MORE tickets had been sold during the day for the next show than had been refunded. The photos used by the Daily Mail to "prove" that Madonna was performing to an empty venue were taken hours before the show started (the venue was close to capacity by the time the show started). 121.222.250.138 (talk) 11:04, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I understand you point there, and maybe the reference of 3–4 was slightly high, however, these are what the reports and several publications have stated towards their articles. Look up the timings from Time magazine, The Guardian, New Zealand Herald, The Huffington Post, and Mirror Magazine for examples; they all range between 2–3 hours late (not 3–4, my apologies). I am not personally going to pin-point each concert what time she started, how late she was, when she arrived, what time it finish, etc. because it becomes too wordy. I don't mind you changing the article to what you specify or however you want it to say, I'm all free on open minds, but if your going to write what you've given me on the article, make sure you have all the sources you need to warrant your claims. Again, this is on an average. CaliforniaDreamsFan (talk · contribs} 22:30, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

I removed most of it CaliforniaDreamsFan, this is pure tabloid fodder. Most of them are repeating what shits like Daily Mail etc are reporting. And I am highly concerned regarding your source interpretation, just because a source like Time has reported a news, does not merit automatic inclusion. I will have to review the whole section once if you don't mind. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 11:58, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

As intimated I gave another copyedit and adhered to sources, removed any tabloid, or anything which was clearly written as click-bait news. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 14:03, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I have absolutely no issue with any removal or editing of the content; like I said, I am open to any suggestions/editing unless their is a reason for it being removed. My editing is just what I find through the news, but that's okay. Again, I have to no issues whatsoever. CaliforniaDreamsFan (talk · contribs} 23:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Remix of "Like a Virgin"

The remix for "Like a Virgin" was actually created in 2009 by a French music producer and he's thanked in the tour book and the live album's liner notes. Do you think that the information is worth-adding to the article and if so, in which section should it be listed? From what I remember, it's the first time that Madonna uses a fan remix for her tours. I have two sources (in French) to use in the article. Have a nice day! Amzer (talk) 11:11, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

• (in French) Dens54 fait chanter Madonna sur sa version de «Like a virgin»
• (in French) Un Lorrain fait chanter Madonna

Hi Amzer, both appear to be not so reliable sources I'm afraid :( Can you see if there is something which can pass reliability? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 12:53, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
