If I told you Madonna would kill me. And that would not be good as I have tickets to go see her and she'd be disappointed that I couldn't make it.

Actually I can't even use the password anymore because it expires once you buy tickets and I bought 2 for out here even though I will be seeing her out there.

It's crazy that she keep skipping her own hometown.She played here on the Drowned World Tour and things went great.This show was even used on the HBO and DVD release.Why is she so against playing this area again??

Did you get good seats? I'm gonna out on Monday morning and try my luck at the HP Pavilion box office.I figure the second and third shows will go on-sale immediately after the first show sells out.I like to be there when this happens Gives me more options.

I'm not happy about the high ticket prices,but I think I can understand why Maddy is doing this.Several reasons...

***The high cost of putting on a show like this---Let's face it,Madonna spares NO expense when it comes to touring.Her shows are big,theatrical affairs with lavish costumes,props,dancers,gigantic video screens,new video footage created especially for the show...the whole nine yards.For this tour,I have heard that she has already spent $3 million on just the sound system alone.

***Ticket prices for other big name artists---Barbra Streisand and The Rolling Stones charge well over $300 for the best seats at their shows.Madonna is no fool,she's not gonna be outdone by those old geezers

***She won't always be able to charge this much---This is a business,after all.Artists should make as much money as they can.Things can change,and someday,Madonna might not be able to charge this much for her tickets.As a live performer,she is at the peak of her popularity and is only charging what the market will pay.

I'm not defending her,because I think $350 is an outrageous price for a 2-hour concert.Just trying to put things in perspective,and look at it from her point of view.

and ol' girl doesn't even make most of the money from ticket prices. have you seen the price of her tour merch from the re-invention tour? t shirts for 95 bucks!?! that's where she makes the majority of her money. the ticket price probably covers the cost of putting a show on plus a chunk of profit; the merch is almost 100% profit.

i can't hate on someone for maximizing their profits. will i pay 350 for a ticket? hell to the naw! somebody will, though, and why shouldn't she take advantage of that? i'll take my 55 dollar tickets and look for same woman who moved me down to the pit last time!

I got good seats. 13th row I think in the lower level. Decided not to get a 2nd mortgage to go see her on the main floor. A friend of mine now really wants to go and has no one to go with, so tix are taken now...glad I didn't get the really expensive ones.

so everyone can stop asking for them.

She charged as much last time for really good seats. I don't like the high prices too, but it almost guarntees the fans will get them and makes it hard for scalpers. It's not like 350 is the only price for tickets.
