The Set-List was announced here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/21/britney-spears-piece-of-me-setlist_n_4486417.html?ir=Entertainment — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.255.187.226 (talk) 23:47, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
How the grossing should be published
editThere have been editings of the "shows" section in which the editor made an average (split by four, like shown in this version: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Britney:_Piece_of_Me&oldid=592057674) out of the public and grossing to put a date-by-date gross data. It does not work this way, even if it's the same venue, there may have been days in which a smaller number of tickets were made available to purchase due to any ungiven reason, IT DOES HAPPEN. They were reported/released to the public in bulk and so we should post them here in bulk. It's simple like that!
Pics Problem
editCan anyone tell me why the pictures are deleted add again and again? Perhaps you can not use or what? This makes no sense ... use photos Wikicoomons used on other items and do not stop to clear ... all stories on tour concerts usually take pictures of the show itself ... I do not understand anything, and I'm tired, so I ask you please someone fix it, because this can not be so ...--SergiSmiler (talk) 13:47, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
- Not even a sad answer all this time! this is incredibly disastrous ...--SergiSmiler (talk) 13:34, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
This is amazing ... I have no words, this is nonsense!! But what about the photos! All articles about shows or tours have photos of the show itself! Why can not I put leave it as is!!??? I'm so stark but this is no longer normal --SergiSmiler (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- Sergi, you need to understand not every single user checks the talk pages, nor is on Wikipedia every single day. It's not nonsense. I removed the images due to an edit war you were getting into with another user. There is an obvious reason Status has removed them, and maybe it be best to invite them into this discussion, or ask them why (s)he removed them, instead of edit-warring over it. livelikemusic my talk page! 16:20, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Status: Would you care to explain to SergiSmiler why you kept removing the images from the page? livelikemusic my talk page! 00:39, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize. I haven't seen this discussion until now. As I explained in my edit summary earlier, the source of the pictures do not provide which songs she is performing during them, therefore the captions are WP:OR. And while the images may be free to use, they are not used in a way to improve the article, but just for the hell of it. — Status (talk · contribs) 02:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- It's no problem; I just wanted your input on why they kept being removed, as SergiSmiler continues to put them back in. If such edits continue Sergi, it will be seen as vandalism and on going edit-warring. livelikemusic my talk page! 02:57, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Do not worry, now that I finally, after much waiting, and explained the problem and understand it, and although it seems a little silly rule, accedes. There will be no more trouble from the pictures, I hope they can fix that lack of repect to the songs information. thanks--SergiSmiler (talk) 14:26, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Extension
editCame across this earlier. While the piece doesn't give full details on dates, it should be noted that the residency show will conclude in 2017 rather than September 2015. Snuggums (talk / edits) 07:29, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Set List
editCan someone please explain why everytime I edit the setlist, it's reverted back? Isn't the point of the Set List area to show every song Britney has performed throughout the residency? She has performed Alien in place of Do Somethin' on multiple occasions in 2014, something I've only added as a note, not even anything major to the list itself. That's very rude and the fact that I get no explanation whatsoever is just outright offensive. BrittonJeanSpears (talk) 19:27, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
- The main reference and opening to the set list even states it does not represent the entire run of the show; the sources you continue to add are either not reliable or are over-ridden by second-party (which is largely more acceptable). Constant changes to set list do not need to be reported; it is not rude, nor offensive. It's following the policies of the website. You continuing to add in the information, however, is disruptive and border-lining vandalism if you continue to do so. livelikemusic my talk page! 13:21, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- That's incredibly small-minded. The show's setlist should be up to date, not stuck in 2013. What kind of encyclopedia has out of date information? Ridiculous. BrittonJeanSpears (talk) 20:36, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- I was wondering that as well. Why is the setlist so out of date? The purpose of a wikipedia is to provide current information. Britney has changed the songs a lot since the first date. The 2013 setlist is not accurate anymore. Let the people update it with additional notes. 179.111.58.42 (talk) 10:39, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- A set-list does not necessarily have to be 'up-to-date', although I agree that the present 2013 snapshot is inadequate. The setlist section needs to be representative of the tour and reflect the length of the show and typical songs that were played the most. Considering that this residency has continued for the past two years, the songs will obviously vary greatly. That aspect should be introduced in the section, before any songs are listed. Perhaps a more descriptive method should be used to reflect the numerous changes. Otherwise we could get bogged down into a discussion what songs were played the most and warrant inclusion and which ones do not. Karst (talk) 11:20, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, users from Wikipedia, I asked to please delete the 2016 set list because it is a fake one, AKA it is not real and should not continue in here because it mades Wikipedia look like a non-realible source. Please, untill the show start, it would be okay not to have it.
Thanks, Dex.

Page edits
editWhy do the changes I make keep getting reverted back? The grammar and writing of the concert synopsis section is atrocious. I fixed parts of it and they've been changed back to the horrible original. Someone keeps sabotaging this page and it needs to be looked at.
Honestly, it looks like a three year old wrote the synopsis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:84:4601:84D1:1906:2E87:4A9E:8A76 (talk) 00:28, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- Except your edits have zero to do with the summary, and more with adding original research that is not supported by reliable sources, and also defies this this website's policies on years. livelikemusic talk! 00:32, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Grammar
edit"It the end Spears thanks her audience.." is just one example of the atrocious grammar/spelling/English on this page.
Can we please find a decent writer to edit the concert synopsis section. I am willing to edit the section to make sure the English is actually proper, unlike the mess it is right now, if the admin is open to it. I will literally only fix the grammar and not add anything else. We just need a coherent section. It's embarrassingly terrible, quite frankly.
- If you want to edit it yourself just post your changes here on the talk page and somebody else will have to edit it into the article. Now that the article is protected there's nothing you'll be able to do until that protection expires in a few months. MusicLover (talk) 12:10, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Last sentence
editCurrent last sentence of the synopsis section: It the end Spears thanks her audience and runs into the big globe from "Work Bitch". She is lifted up in the air behind the screens. As the screens close, Spears' dancers disappear from the stage and the show ends with a lot of fireworks.
My edit:
As the show ends, confetti is released over the crowd, while Spears thanks the audience and exits the stage by being lifted up in the globe-like cage through which she entered. As the screens close in front of her, the dancers leave the stage as well, while a display of fireworks shoots across the stage and concludes the show.
Fix the page.
editWhat's going on with this page? Why has it been hijacked and why is nobody bothering to fix obvious errors?
Either make the requested changes or open up the editing features so others can. This isn't rocket science. This page needs fixing. Start with the already-submitted proposals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aldrige95 (talk • contribs) 15:28, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I wanted to request the picture be changed to the more recent photo that is currently representing her residency. It can be found here: http://www.newmoviesondvd.co.uk/wp-content/themes/newmoviesondvd/posters/britney-piece-of-me-revamped-401443-poster.jpg
It is the photo you see when going to planet hollywood's website and when going to ticketmaster to buy tickets.

- Can you explain why the one you propose is better than the current image? Sundayclose (talk) 00:05, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the

template. Also, please ensure you're suggesting an image that is hosted on wiki and licensed correctly. -- Dane2007 talk 02:57, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Updating the Page
editHi guys, I would like some help on revamping the page so that it is up to date as of April 7th 2017.
The old page is incredibly out of date and some parts of the page to do not match the Setlist (check the notes beneath the Setlist).
Britney had changed some of the features of the show and the page should be updated to show that. Bjmitchell2001 (talk) 19:20, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
China
editIs it really necessary to list China below Hong Kong, because other editor name "Felipeedit" had reverted the user, and "Musicpoplover12" changed that too, and I get that Hong Kong is a autonomous territory and that user "Hugo.lee.bs" kept changing it so what are we listing? Raritydash (talk) 03:10, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Ticket sales
editIs this sentence sourced anywhere and if not I believe should be deleted "Days after tickets went on sales, figures were reported to be dismal, as only three of the 16 shows placed on sale were sold out. Many pointed to lip-syncing as the main issue." If this is properly sourced, I apologise. Patelgybed688 (talk) 19:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Boxscore 'Britney Live In Concert' $25 millions?
editHave you written that Britney grossed $25 million with the 11 'Britney Live In Concert' shows?
Here is the source, she raised $25 million with 39 SHOWS, therefore there are also included shows from Las Vegas. https://www.pollstar.com/Chart/2017/07/207MidYearTop100WorldwideTours_575.pdf
According to some data, she will have grossed in her 11 shows in Asia, around $8 or $10 million.
Britney: Live in Concert / Piece of Me Tour
editIs it really necessary to put two names for the same tour? I think the title should be Piece of Me Tour and just this.
Confusion on your part
editThe Piece Of Me Tour is not the same as Britney: Live In Concert, apart from being promoted with their respective names in the world, it is not known if it would be the same set list to say that it is a continuation of their show in the vega's. .. Please fix erroneous information which causes problems and confusion among wikipedia readers.
