In 2006,I paid $175 and it was an EXCELLENT seat.It wasn't on the floor,but it was the next level up and best of all,the seat was facing the stage.Sassybritches and Heartbeatocean were sitting in this section too,a few feet away from me.Any fan who thinks $350 is a ridiculous price for a 2-concert concert,should go for the $175 seats.Having a floor seat isn't a priority for me.

This will be my third time seeing her. I had nose bleeds one time and felt like I was watching her on my iPod (but still had fun). I think I’m going to go for the $64 too. George Michael and Tina wiped me out but I missed the Confessions tour. I need to at least be in the building.

sextonseven said:

Good for you More fans should do this.It's not that important to have a floor seat.

SoulAlive said:

A lot of fans are doing this. All the cheap seats for the three previously announced shows in the NY/NJ area sold out during the presale last week. That's why I had to wait for another show to be added.

sextonseven said:

The pre-sale for the show in my area begins next Tuesday (May 27).I'm nervous and anxious at the same time.Never bought tickets through a pre-sale before.I hope everything goes okay.

How soon did she schedule the additional shows? Was it the same day that the first show went on sale? I plan to attend all the shows that she does in my area (she'll do 2 for sure,maybe 3).

I just got mine and I can't believe how excited I am. I'm actually a little surprised at myself.

JackieBlue said:

Congratulations! How much did you pay?

SoulAlive said:

I don't think it was even ten minutes after the general onsale began this morning before the fourth show was added.

SoulAlive said:

I got the $64 seats. I swear it looks like I'm in the exact same section I was in for Drowned World. We had our own little party up there.

sextonseven said:

I hope this is how it works for the show(s) in my area....additional dates going on sale immediately.I'm gonna be at my computer doing the pre-sale thing and it would be much easier if I can buy all my tickets at the same time.

JackieBlue said:

this is for Madison Square Garden,right?

SoulAlive said:

Yes. Saturday night. I can’t imagine going to a concert on a Monday night. Ew.

WOW I am Cardiff too! Wish I had managed to get Gold Circle tix. I have mid tier so not bad.

So cool it's Cardiff eh?

Lisa

JackieBlue said:

She plays my area on a Saturday night too I'm pretty sure she will add another show for Sunday night as well (or better yet,Friday)

I was online the minute the Chicago show 10/26 went on sale Saturday morning. All I could purchase were the $350 seats . Im opting to wait and hope she adds more Chicago shows.

Maybe...She's a See You Next Tuesday. Nothing to do with her childhood.

Initial on-sales for Madonna's upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour are off to a strong start,with weekend sell-outs reported in Paris (Sept.20),Boston (Oct.15) and Chicago (Oct.26),followed by sell-outs in New York this morning.

Performances at Manhattan's Madison Square Garden (Oct.6-7) quickly went clean,followed by a third show now confirmed for Oct.11.

The tour will begin Aug.23 in Cardiff,Wales and will play arenas and stadiums throughout Europe,including a number of cities where Madonna has not performed in the past 15 years,or ever.The U.S. leg of the tour begins Oct.4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford,N.J.,with most U.S. dates going on-sale May 24.Live Nation Global Touring chairman Arthur Fogel is the worldwide producer of the tour.

I'm going to go for the same section. That's also the area where I sat to see the Rolling Stones, 1st Tier Center and I think it's my favorite. With all the visuals at Madonna shows, it's just better for me to be in a place where I can take it all in at once. I've had closer seats at shows, but being center stage is just better than being on the side, in my opinion. I'm going to hunt a deal down on craigslist like last time.

Yes! A concert in Zurich has been added on August 30th! Almost at home! Great!

heartbeatocean said:

Maybe we'll be sitting in the same section again The party is ON!

PatrickS77 said:

When is the concert in Detroit going to be added? Ever? After hearing the album for a few weeks, I wouldn't want to be touring with it forever, either!

VinnyM27 said:

I don't think she's gonna add any more US cities.Why you don't just go to nearby Chicago You can turn it into a fun road trip with your other Madonna buddies.

Who remembers the days when concert tickets were actually this cheap?

newpower99 said:

Yeah,be patient.I know she's gonna do at least two more shows in Chicago

You know what sucks though...some of the $350 seats really aren't as great as they should be.For that much money,I would expect a floor seat in the first 20 rows.That's not the case.That's why it's best to go for the $175 seats,or the $80 seats.I refuse to pay a fortune for a seat that's not really that great.

PatrickS77 said:

Congratulations! Are you going?

Yes, scored a ticket today! The concertsite supposedly holds about 60.000 people and it supposedly sold out in 3 hours! Unbeliveable! The ticketsite went "dead" about 15 minutes before the tickets went on sale!

SoulAlive said:

I'm getting excited!

SoulAlive said:

I remember seeing Queen in the late 70's. Tickets were $15. That seemed pricey at the time.

heartbeatocean said:

Can you imagine telling someone in 1985 that 23 years later the face value of Madonna tickets would be $350.00???

sextonseven said:

I guess it's the scalpers that drove the prices up so exorbitantly. Makes sense the artist would want the money, if people are paying those kinds of prices anyway. And her concerts sell out! It's all what the market will bear. Ah, the joys of capitalism.
