My Name Is Dita, I'll Be Your Ticketmistress Tonight
Getting Madonna tickets this a.m. as part of the Madonna fan club (Icon) "legacy" member pre-sale was not as stressful as I'd imagined, nor were the tickets astonishingly great...but they're all really good floor seats, so that is a plus. I think the front-row seats I had last time MIGHT have come when a fellow fan wrote me to say MSG had just released a new batch of tickets, and that I got them by being near my computer and hitting Ticketmaster fast and furious. No matter, I'm for sure going to see multiple nights.
Ironically, the images above and below were two of the codes I had to type in on Ticketmaster—note Madonna is "Esther" and I think, with tix topping out just under $400 after all the extras, "shattered wealth" is self-explanatory!
P.S. I'm pretty sure to have extra tickets for NJ and NYC when all is said and done, and am not a scalper, in case anyone wants to put out feelers to me.
I'm still a disgruntled DC metro area resident. ARGH! I cannot believe this is tour number two (Confessions, Sticky & Sweet) that we are totally being bypassed. I am saddened.

I'd love to see her at MSG again. I was in the pit on the opening night at MSG for ReInvention...which I followed a month later with a show at Chicago that was so awful - the crowd and seats, not Madonna - that I skipped Confessions when my only option was Chicago.
I might try ATL this year.

I'm from DC, too. I saw Confessions at MSG. It is the best. NYC loves Madonna. By some strange luck I got a seat right next to the catwalk. It was so cool. I had never been that close at any concert before (not just Madonna)

You seem more lucky than us in France... The Stade de France is so big that if we haven't a good seat...we won't see anything! Rumours are growing that the french fans will go on Nice too..
The Hard Candy is very very controversed here at the moment..A lot of people say they didn't like it! , that she's getting too old ...( i d like to be like her at the age of 50!!) It is said in a lot of blogs and papers that she's not singing live.. blablabla That's the frenchies you know ;)
They say also that the prices are a scandal.. Well they are not more expansive that the COAD Tour...
Well ! she's gonna sell all in 4 minutes ! ;)All the nationnals TV are talking about Madonna;)
personnatly i' d prefer Her to sing In Bercy. because the sound is perfect! its not to big and allow you to SEE! We won't see anything in France unless maybe with the Circle tickets.. (expansive lol in this case)
I think i'll mmaybe try to have Nice Tickets :) If yes i'll tell you how was it !

Yes, I hate when it's TOO big...too hard to see. Oh, she's singing mostly live all right...did you hear her British promo show on YouTube? Quite a few "natural" notes in there!
