Wow, that's pretty damn impressive for a tour that many called a fail. Especially considering the average price is so much higher than any of the artists before her. I still wonder why they overpriced the tickets that much, especially looking at the economy and the ticket market! Even for Gaga, who is so huge right now, the average price is almost half of Mariahs! And that's surprising too, that Mariah is only one down below Gaga, probably because of the crazy prices, but still!

Wow! I'm impressed. I guess this is why they decided to charge so much. Despite using smaller venues than most other acts the gross per city still turned out really high.

She´s the highest prices in the top 20 by far. Grrr! lol
But impressive!

Send this to Perez. His ass was going on for months about how hard the tour was flopping.


I can't even know what to say!

^ I agree, someone of Mariah's name not selling out theaters of 3,000 is bad. I know touring is not her thing, but still. My high school gym was able to seat 3,000 people. It might not have been a flop, but I wouldn't call it a success.

What you guys think is irrelevant though. They obviously set a certain goal for this tour, and it was fulfilled. It's not like she sold out 50% - that would've been a flop. Considering the small production, they definitely made a profit.

She had no hit out at the time and there was almost 0 promo for the Tour. So it did very well for almost knowing she was on Tour.
