Rihanna crying on stage over flopped tour
Months ago the Judiciary Report stated
Rihanna’s then planned world tour would suffer from low
ticket sales, due to the fact she suffered 4 flopped singles
in a row and very low album sales, over people being tired
of her chronic acts of copyright infringement, which led to
lawsuits (Rihanna's
Tour In Support Of 'Anti' Album Flopping With Poor Sales Prompting
Free Ticket Giveaway).
All the
signs were there that her music career had crashed under
public disfavor. Rihanna’s label and management began
employing heavier levels of payola to secure radio airplay
and falsifying streaming reports via Jay Z’s failing Tidal,
to gain undeserved chart placement for extremely low selling
music singles.
Since the time the Judiciary Report stated
Rihanna’s tour would flop, it has gone on to do just that (Rihanna ‘Anti’ Tour Opens To Half Empty Arena Due To Massive
Sales Decline).There are a
number of long standing management rules in the
entertainment industry that smart managers know and one of
them is you do not book big venues when your career is in
decline. Delusional, egotistical artists do that and go on
to suffer for it.
Only a foolish
recording artist would believe the hype their own label and
management pay for and put out in the press and online.
Rihanna's tour keeps suffering
from half empty venues
It’s simple mathematics. It costs more
money to rent and insure bigger venues (greater
expenditures) and if you fail to sell a sufficient amount of
tickets, the show will be in the red, costing rather than
making money. The excessive number of empty seats also bring
home the fact to the public and critics that your career is
in the toilet.
Since the time of the Judiciary Report’s
article stating her tour would flop due to poor record
sales, they saw it for themselves, as Rihanna’s management
had to cancel select concert dates in America due to low
ticket sales (meaning it would cost more to actually put on
the show in said cities, due to ticket sales being that low
in several markets). However, the tour dates she did
actually go forward with, did not sell out, struggling in
the sales department as well.
Rihanna should have called her
concerts "the half empty seats" tour
Both Rihanna and tour sponsor Samsung got
burned. And once again, Samsung did not give Rihanna
$25,000,000 to underwrite the tour, as Jay Z again lied to
the press in trying to create hype for his failed projects (Jay Z Lies In New York Post Article About Samsung Paying Rihanna
And Roc Nation $25,000,000 For Tour).
Samsung are not idiots in business to lose
money, as a $25,000,000 deal would only be appropriate for
big sellers like Taylor Swift, Adele or Justin Bieber, who
have bigger record sales to back up tour expenditures
against potential profits from significant ticket sales.
Rihanna received closer to $5,000,000 and that was to cover
staff, set construction, trucks and airfare, which has been
wiped out via heavy expenses and poor ticket sales.
Twitter feedback exposed the fact
Rihanna's album and now the subsequent tour has flopped
The biggest humiliation came last week
when Rihanna’s tour of Britain and Ireland did not do well,
which is embarrassing for a mainstream artist. Mainstream
newspapers reported that Rihanna played concert dates in
Britain to half empty venues. Rihanna, looking out at the
lack of a crowd during one particular tour stop, began
crying. Other international and British artists had sold out
shows in Britain and Ireland recently, so this was square
due to Rihanna’s falling career. Fans again took to Twitter
to tweet the British venue was “half empty” and
“embarrassingly empty” much like they wrote for her tour
stops in America.
Yea, but keep stealing people’s
copyrighted music, videos and photos and showing off about
messing with people’s husbands and boyfriends Rihanna (Jay
Z, Lebron James and Future, among others) and see how far
your career is gonna fall (sarcasm). I’ve stated it before
on this site and I will state it again, history has shown
the public doesn’t like supporting people who go around
doing mean-spirited, vile things to others (cc: Rita Ora -

moment out...
