She starts the tour in L.A. on May 24th.I'm sure she'll hit the Bay Area immediately after,so I expect to see her sometime around May 28th.To those of you who live in the UK,tickets for the Earls Court show on August 18 go on-sale this Friday!!

Prices for the Earls Court show range from £50-£150. WTF

polkadotsuit said:

Can you "translate" those prices for me in U.S dollars,so I can get some idea how much the tickets in the States might cost?

DavidEye said:

$90-$265 approx

polkadotsuit said:

Yikes!! And I thought the DWT tickets were expensive

DavidEye said:

i guess that's what happens when your label needs some quick cash!

and yes, purplegypsy...we will be at the show.

oh, and thank god it is not being called the whore of babylon tour! i like this name, especially since ol' girl is known as the mother of re-invention.

are you a member of her fanclub ICON? There will be a pre-sale for existing members.But this doesn't apply to NEW members who sign up right now,or in the weeks ahead.You have to already be a member to take advantage.Luckily for me,I've been a member since the mid-90s


But just for fun,I still might go and camp out,to buy a few extra tickets.

Update: Madonna Tour To Kick Off In May

Kicking off May 24 in Los Angeles, Madonna's upcoming tour will consist primarily of North American arena dates, as well as 12 European shows and a stop in Israel. At deadline, a handful of North American dates were confirmed through early-August, along with an Aug. 18 show in London and Sept. 1 concert in Paris.

"Madonna has already started rehearsals for the re-Invention Tour and she can't wait to get back on stage to recreate her songs from the earliest days of her career up until the present," manager Caresse Henry says in a statement. "There is no doubt that this tour will be the pinnacle of her long standing and well deserved reputation as one of the most exciting live performers of our time."

The tour will be produced worldwide by Clear Channel Entertainment (CCE) under the direction of CCE Touring president Arthur Fogel. There will be no supporting acts.

Henry also announced that existing members of Madonna's Icon fan club will have access to ticket pre-sale opportunities.

Madonna is touring in support of her Maverick/Warner Bros. album, "American Life." Released in May 2003, the set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 630,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

In 2001, Madonna grossed $75 million from 47 sellouts. That tour was also produced by CCE.

Here are Madonna's confirmed tour dates:

May 24: Los Angeles (Forum)
May 29: Las Vegas (MGM Grand Garden Arena)
June 8: San Jose (HP Pavilion)
June l3: Washington, D.C. (MCI Center)
June 16-17: New York (Madison Square Garden)
June 27: Boston (Worcester Centrum)
July 4: Philadelphia (Wachovia Center)
July 11: Chicago (United Center)
July l8: Toronto (Air Canada Centre)
July 24: Atlanta (Philips Arena)
July 28: Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Office Depot Center)
Aug. l: Miami (American Airlines Arena)
Aug. l8: London (Earls Court)
Sept. 1: Paris (Bercy)

she's in Vegas the same night as Prince!!!!

I've always joked that a serious dilemma for me would be the 2 of them performing on the same night!!!! I may have to give up my Prince tickets for that date!!!

What no Texas dates again? The second most populous state in America and she hasn't been here in 14 years. What is going on with her?

DavidEye said:

this picture is scary. i'm glad she changed the name of her tour, though.

VelvetJ said:

There is nothing listed for Detriot, her hometown and she plays here everytime (I pretty sure) and last time the concert I was at was the one on TV. There must be more dates!

madartista said:

I just looked up Ticketmaster to find Tickets for Prince (and now Madonna too) and it looks like Prince is playing Vegas twice. March 29 and 30th. I'm kind of surprised that they are not only playing on the same day but that they are playing different arena's.

I think Madonna's is bigger.

I really can't afford either one. That is going to be tough for me....

and what's with tickets going on sale 2 minutes after the announcement!!!! sheesh, give my wallet time to get prepared. looks like i'm gonna go to New York. So weird to be in Vegas, knowing she's there.... CRAZINESS!!! I didn't like the Vegas crowd for Drowned World -- I think NYC will be better.

how much is she charging for the us dates? i went to the DWT and i had seats, like, 3 rows from the back, all the way at the top of the venue. i'd love to see madonna do her hits and then some but, really, i didn't like the choreography of the last tour and she has the same direcor for this one. if she is charging more than 100 bucks for prime seats, i will very likely skip it. besides, with all these prince shows (i'm at 4 now), i am still trying replenish my bank account!

SassierBritches said:

you gotta save yo' money for janet too, jay jay!


all i know is that "crazy for you" is my favorite song and if it's true thatshe will sing this wile playing the guitar then I will cream inside sassy asses' undies.

SassierBritches said:

Ticketmaster has listed ticket price info for the MA show and it says: $45.00 USD - $300.00 USD



WTF is that!!!

When I saw the last tour I also was 2 rows from the top.... maybs I should just see if I can get cheap seats again, cos my head spins when I think of spending $300 to see Miss Madonna...

ps, If I come to Chi-town, can I hang with you and the purplegypsy?

endorphin74 said:

of course!!

we can party like it's 1984.

purplegypsy said:

That pic is taken directly from the tourbook.It looks like it represents the first part of the show,which will begin in the roaring 20s.But it also seems that this pic will be the main promotional pic for the tour.Here's another shot,this time with the tour logo...

purplegypsy said:

well, since i don't wear them, they may as well get use from you!

SassierBritches said:

i think i am gonna go to Chicago instead of NYC. It's on a sunday, which makes more sense than going in the middle of the week. And I never been to Chicago. And it's $4.50 cheaper!

That picture was in the papers today (UK) - so Madonna is doing a tour where she promises to play her old hits....hmmm, why does that sound familiar....!

The worlds gone 80's retro crazy!
