Hey, my sister's getting the tickets and that's what works out best with getting time off work.

And whatever! I went to San Jose for Prince and didn't exactly run into any orgers; too many attendees.

Did you see her last show Cee?

jayaredee said:

Never seen 'er.

Hey, are any of you guys ICON members? Does membership allow access to presales? I'm trying to decide if I should sign up for it.

GangstaFam said:

only if you were a member prior to the announcement of onsales. signing up now will do nothing to help you. plus, i think a lot of presales are sold out now.

sallysassalot said:

fucky.

GangstaFam said:

just wait it out and buy those f'rs on ebay a few days before the show. it'll work for you!

sallysassalot said:

I don't have the same confidence as you. I have to have them in my hands. Maybe I'll hire you.

I'm getting my tix first thing Friday morning!! It will only be my second Madonna concert; haven't seen her since the Blond Ambition tour. I love her new CD and I can't wait to see her again live!!

I'll be at the San Jose show.My friend is trying to organize some kind of pre-concert party at a nearby bar/restaurant

GangstaFam said:

Go to Ticketmaster on Monday at 10:00 and buy the best seats you can find.You will have plenty of time to find better seats (at Ebay or elsewhere) and re-sell the ones you get on Monday.Also,remember that the venues often release GREAT seats a few days before the actual show.Three days before her San Jose shows in 2004,I went up to the venue and bought a floor seat in the 16th row.Relax

Apparently she's announced another Wembley show for the 9th August, days after she's scheduled to play Rome, so it looks like shes heading back to the UK after Italy. Looks like the Sun's prediction that she'd play Manchester on the 12th & 13th Aug could still come true. Ill be made up if so. The MEN arena is like 2 minutes from my apartment. Alot more convenient than Cardiff or London.

CrozzaUK said:

The London shows are selling out very quickly.How many shows is she playing there?

DavidEye said:

I was wrong, shes added 3 more on the 9th 10th & 12th Aug, so looks like Manchester may not happen. Thats 5 London shows in total. I expect more to be added soon.

Okay I caved - despite the hugely inflated ticket prices I have tix for the 9th in London.

I just couldn't resist.





Yay!

adoreme said:

Congratulations!

I'm getting my tix on Monday.I won't be satisfied until I have the tix in my hand.

adoreme,how much did you pay for your tickets? Did you get good seats?

CrozzaUK said:

I heard a rumor that she will add a sixth London show.

DavidEye said:

Not fabulous seats. Closer to the back but on the side rather than the back wall. I paid the mid range £110 a ticket - which worked out at £240 for two. It bites that they are that pricey but I just can't justify stretching to £160 a ticket. I am a little peeved with her as the seating plan was pretty much all £160 tickets.

She's definitely worth paying over the odds for but sometimes I wonder if she's forgotten that her fans don't have quite as much pocket money as she does.

Very pleased that I'm going though. Now I can join in with all the pre-tour excitement without wanting to slit my wrists!

How many shows are you doing this year, DavidEye?

adoreme said:

She has one date scheduled in my area for May 30,so I will definitely be at that show.But I know she's gonna add one or two more dates,so I'm planning to attend all of them.So,it looks like I will be going to three shows this year.I saw her three times in 2004,too.

Madonna just added a sixth London show for August 13th.It's on sale right now.Think she'll add a 7th and 8th show?

DavidEye said:

Good for you. I'd love to do a Madonna marathon but the woman now has enough of my money.

Can't wait for the show though!

Word of caution: it may not be a good idea to get the $55 "cheap seats".You won't have a good view of the stage at all.In fact,you will be behind the stage! Here's a seating chart that shows the different seats for the different prices:

I just got my tix for June 15 in Chicago!!

rainbowchild said:

Congrats.
I can't wait till i finally get to buy mine. I'm scared of it selling out quickly though. Apparently in Montreal people have been lined up since Monday evening.

DavidEye said:

For which arena is this seating chart? If Madison Square Garden in NYC is the same then I may not go. I'll pay $55 to see La M, but I won't sit behind the stage!

sextonseven said:

Nevermind. Ticketmaster says the cheapest NYC tickets are $64.50 and they are available in every section except floor. That means I'm still going (if I get through on Monday that is).

sextonseven said:

unfortunately that probably means the 64.50 tickets are behind the stage on each level.

sallysassalot said:

No. The mezzanine seats are $64.50 only and they circle almost the entire arena.

What concert date and where??
