[HelloAngel]

Thanks Dev!! I was so hoping she'd come to Tampa or Orlando.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Skipping Detroit, eh?

Not that I'd see her again, but...

 

[dsmith2904]

This schedule still seems very preliminary, she may be needing to work out her tour dates with the basketball schedule or something.

 

[fah]

It looks like there are lots of gaps between dates for other shows. I wouldn't mind seeing her live. Any ideas how much tickets are going to be?

 

[OzAurora]

Yet again it looks like another 'world tour' that will not be heading to either Australia or the southern hemisphere

 

[Popmartijn]

I hope she also comes to the Netherlands. I'd like to see her live once. On her Drowned World tour she was supposed to play Cologne in Germany (in the same venue where I saw Elevation twice! ), but she cancelled that date. And that was the closest one to the Netherlands!
It shouldn't be that difficult, is it, including the Netherlands and Australia?

Hoping...

Marty (who doesn't have a single Madonna CD)

 

[OzAurora]

I love Madonna, I grew up to her, I have true blue, Like a prayer and even Dick Tracy on vinyl and I have quite a bit of her stuff on cd- Ray of Light is one of my fave albums still to this day and sadly the only other time that she came to Australia, was back in 93 and she played Brisbane in the same week that U2 played, well back then I was only 16 and didnt have that much money, so of course I saw U2, but I would love to see her one day. I cant stand her attitude but she puts on a good show, although I dont think that she has reallyd done anything great since 'Beautiful Stranger' so I would be a bit pissed if she did make it here and I spent shit loads of money on a ticket only to hear her new lame music.........anyway I will bet loads of money that she dosnt make it here

I know what you guys mean. I'm lucky enough to live in Canada's 3rd largest city (largest is Toronto, 2nd is Montreal), and luckily most major acts when touring will come to these 3 cities, but the rest of country can be out of luck. There is a lot of space between Toronto and Vancouver, with several large cities that can and have supported large bands on tour (U2 is one of them). If you happen to live in one of the have not cities your concert options can be really limited. You can either travel to either Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal or the closest American city. Sadly, this means a road trip that many concert goers just can't afford.

 

[Saracene]

It would be very very nice if she came to Australia.

It wouldn't be nice though if she performed any tracks off "American Life" except maybe "Love Profusion" and "Nothing Fails".

 

[Mullen-Girl]

Oh i'd like to see her here in DC...I have never been to one of her concerts before

 

[bammo2]

I heard on the radio that tickets for this were going to be ?175

I'm presuming that not ALL tickets will be that much, but still....

 

[gav6519]

does anyone know why she has NEVER played in ireland?

 

[bammo2]

she's playing slane this summer, Gav

 

[Sweet Tart]

i have to get tickets but they'll probabaly seel out really fast

 

[melon]

June 27 Boston Worcester Centrum

Worcester is not even Boston. It's...Worcester and over an hour away.

Melon

 

[gav6519]

she's playing slane this summer, Gav

has that been confirmed?

 

[hiphop]

since she did that last "tour" which only led her to small venues in that oh so priviledged mood n setup, i don?t really care to see her live. she had a lot more energy in the 80s. she?s a good dancer, anyway. but i?d prefer prince a hundered times.

 

[oktobergirl]

i was going to go the show in LA but i have heard tickets are going to be in the 175-300 $ range.

I just can't see the sense in paying that much money. I saw in on the Blond Ambition tour ( and it was great) but I think for that much dough i'll have to skip.

Sorry Madge, but for me, she's outpriced herself.

 

[bammo2]

has that been confirmed?

No it's not confirmed....I read it on hotpress.com (have a look at this thread )

It seems she's definitely playing Ireland this summer but it might not be at slane

 

[Sweet Tart]

I GOT TICKETS!!!!!!!

for the second night in toronto....YAY!!!!!!!!

 

[dsmith2904]

Depending on the venue, tickets range from $45 to $375. I admit that $375 is a bit high, but I have no qualms about paying $90 or $150 to see Madonna. I paid about $140 to see U2, and while that show was phenomenal, it didn't have nearly the spectacle and production value of Madonna's.

 

[~fairy_girl~]

YESSSS i got tickets, going to the 2nd Earls Court, London gig

can't wait!!! 134 days now

ohh yeah she IS playing slane this summer, erm... http://www.londonticketshop.co.uk/index.htm, they are selling tickets for Slane ?195 but the other tickets they have on sale are pretty expensive, almost twice as much as ticketmaster...
