因為幣值大貶（這邊應該指澳幣）， 所以原訂明年初要去澳洲辦演唱會的女王，決定不去了。 Madonna dumps Australian tour dates Superstars Madonna, Neil Diamond and Paul McCartney have scrapped Australian tour plans because of the weak dollar. Madonna had agreed to perform at Sydney's ANZ Stadium and Melbourne's Docklands in late January, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal. Tickets for Madonna's shows, presented by US tour giant Live Nation and local promoter Michael Coppel, were due to go on sale two weeks ago. She planned to charge a top ticket price of $400. 'It got as close as anything ever gets,' a tour industry source said. 'Madonna was coming to Australia, the dates were resolved, then economics got in the way.' Mr Coppel yesterday confirmed the Madonna deal, but refused to elaborate. The revelations follow a growing list of postponed tour plans by world superstars. Concert industry sources say Diamond, McCartney, The Eagles, Green Day and Metallica have put visits on hold because of the bad economy. 'It's unknown territory at the moment,' said promoter Michael Chugg. '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.' Mr Coppel said the weak dollar had made promoters, and touring superstars, cautious. 'Everyone is feeling their way,' he said. 'The risk level has gone up substantially.' 另一則新聞，女王日前結束北美的巡迴演出， 累計2億7百萬美元的票房（歐洲 + 北美）， 繼續南美的場次，可望讓女王荷包賺飽飽。 如果肯來東亞+澳洲，絕對會破3億！ Madonna wrapping North American tour Madonna wrapped the North American leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour yesterday night, November 26 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. The next stop is Mexico City, where the Tour performs beginning November 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 December 21 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. http://madonnalicious.typepad.com/madonnalicious/ --
