Who the fuck planed this tour? Just look at the arenas, big massive stadiums and grand music halls with capacity for thousands of people. Didn't they learn anything from 2008? She/they would've lost a fortune if they did this tour, hiring these stadiums, equipment, crew to set up/transport the gear etc. How many would come to each concert?
hubris goes before fall.
She've had some success on the telly and now they think she's the big star again? I saw Ellie Goulding 2013 here at place that don't take more than 950 people, saw her last year when she hit it pretty big, ~2200 people.
Ellie Goulding Paris, Le Trianon - capacity 1,091 (Olympia capacity 1,996)
