Msig Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 In only a few days, Madonna will play her third show in Russia. In 2006, she played the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. In 2009, she played the Palace Square in St. Petersburg. This time around, she's coming to both cities, playing arena shows in both. The venue of the Moscow show will be Olimpiyskiy, an indoor arena built for the 1980 Olympics. The arena has recently hosted shows by acts such as Sting, Paul McCartney, Britney Spears and Depeche Mode, as well as the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. For logistical reasons, concerts at the Olimpiyskiy are always done with a side-stage setup and a maximum capacity of 25,000. Aime is attending the show. Any other MNation forum members? Venue map Ticket prices Standing, Fan Zone (Golden Circle): RUB 10,000 ($ 308) Standing, General Attendance: RUB 6,000 ($ 185) Reserved seating, Luxury Stall: RUB 200,000 ($ 6161) Reserved seating, VIP: RUB 12,000-70,000 ($ 370-2156) Reserved seating, Stall B: 12,000 ($ 370) Reserved seating, lower tier: RUB 4,000-20,000 ($ 123-616) Reserved seating, upper tier: RUB 3,000-8,000 ($ 92-246) Reserved seating, balconies: RUB 1,750-3,000 ($ 54-92) Oh, I almost forgot: On top of those prices, you should add a transaction fee of 10% per ticket. Yes, you got that right: Including the transaction fee, the most expensive tickets cost more than $ 6700!!! However, ticket prices start as low as $ 60 (including fee). Early Entry tickets were available only in the ICON pre-sale, for the price of RUB 26,000 ($ 800). However, once tickets went on public sale, dissapointingly slow sales of Fan Zone tickets resulted in the price being reduced from RUB 16,000 ($ 493) to RUB 10,000. It has been announced that all Fan Zone tickets bought before the price was reduced will be considered as Early Entry tickets. Madonna is expected to arrive in Moscow on a few days before the show, as she is going to officially open the Moscow branch of Hard Candy Fitness on 6 August.

Msig Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do you have any idea of how much has sold till now? I knew you'd ask There are about 540 tickets available for the show, which means that about 24,460 tickets must have been sold by now. While there are a few entirely empty rows in the lower-tier sections, most tickets available are 'single' seats. So that's probably as close to a total sell-out as you get. Fan Zone (Golden Circle): 92 tickets left General Attendance: 41 tickets left Balconies: 63 seats left Upper tier: 68 seats left Lower tier: 245 seats left Stall B: 1 seat left VIP: 20 seats left Luxury Stall: 8 seats left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at least hoping for a few fines based on her speech before she sings Masterpiece, which should be chock full of awesome gay "propaganda!" After all the press about it, Moscow owes us a little scandal. Madonna is certainly gonna say something about LGBT rights, telling people to scream "Sagarra jo!" whenever they face discrimination - but it won't be a 'problem' until she hits St. Petersburg, where "propaganda of homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism and pedophilia" is illegal.

Louise Oriole Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 There was an article I posted a while back that said she could possibly face arrest. I kind of wonder if the world will be in favor of the arrest even though it was due to her standing up for a good cause, simply because it's popular right now to hate her a la Erotica era.

pasqual Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Pussy Riot campaigners in Russia hoping for Madonna’s support London, August 5 (ANI): Campaigners protesting against the arrest of three feminist pop stars charged for performing a ‘punk prayer’ outside a cathedral, hope that Madonna will publicly express her support for the trio. Three members of the feminist punk collective Pussy Riot named Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich will be jailed for seven years if found guilty on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. The women were arrested after going to Moscow’s Christ the Saviour cathedral in February and performing a “punk prayer” critical of the Orthodox church’s support for the president, Vladimir Putin, the Guardian reported. The plight of the trio has become a cause celebre in the music world, with numerous stars taking a public stance in their support for the group. Anthony Kiedis, lead singer with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, showed his support by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the name Pussy Riot at a recent concert in St Petersburg. Another famous band, Sting, has also issued messages of support for the group. “Surely the Russian authorities will completely drop these spurious charges and allow the women, these artists, to get back to their lives and to their children,” Sting said. Although Madonna has not gone as far as her music industry comrades, the group still view the star as an inspiration because of her willingness to upset the Roman Catholic church with her music. The campaigners are hopeful that when the Queen of pop takes to the stage in Moscow this week, she will take a stronger stance.
