Madonna’s MDNA Tour hits North America
Madonna’s MDNA Tour hits North American shores tonight with a show at Philadelphia‘s Wells Fargo Center, having wrapped the European leg of the tour last week in Nice, France.
The tour, which began May 31 in Tel Aviv, has grossed $115,701,909, with attendance of 985,340 to 33 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. For North America, Madonna has sold $111 million in tickets for 44 shows in the U.S. and Canada, according to Arthur Fogel, chairman of Live Nation Global Touring and producer of Madonna’s tours.
Dates are currently on the books up until a double at Foro Sol in Mexico City Nov. 24-25.
Madonna is no stranger to the elite ranks of touring artists, as her last tour, Sticky & Sweet from 2008-09, is third all time in box office revenue at $408 million, according to Boxscore, highest ever for a solo artist. MDNA is tracking on Boxscore to be among the biggest not only for 2012, but also one of the top tours of all time.
