Madonna To Start World Tour In UK
================================================================================
CMU on 12 May, 2008
 
Tickets for the two shows go on sale on 16 May, with prices ranging between £55
and £160. I saw Madonna at Wembley Stadium in 1993 and it cost £23.50. That's
inflation for you. Of course, the singer is also performing at this weekend's
Radio 1 One Big Weekend, which is free. There aren't any tickets for that left,
though.
And presumably pretty soon at 9am on 16 May there won't be many tickets left
for the not-at-all-free Cardiff and Wembley gigs either, which is why Madonna
fans who don't get in there quick enough may need to [a] mortgage their house
and then [b] head over to ticket resale website Viagogo who have been announced
as the "official ticket resale site" for Madonna's European tour. I assume that
means that if you must resell your Madonna tickets - either because some
unfortunate turn of events means you can't go, or you reckon you can get a few
hundred quid off a gullible cash-rich Madonna fan by touting them some tix -
then you can do it via viagogo without feeling that you have broken some bond of
trust with Madge and her promoters. Viagogo will also be offering VIP packages
and premium tickets for the singer's European shows.
Commenting on the Madonna deal, viagogo boss Eric Baker told CMU: "We are
delighted to have been named the official premium and secondary ticket seller
for Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour. This agreement further demonstrates our
constant desire to innovate in the ticketing marketplace and offer unique
solutions to fans. Fans will now have a safe, secure platform to buy and trade
tickets for Madonna's upcoming tour".
