    First 5 RH Tour dates re-scheduled to January 2016

    nah but really, this is concerning as a madonna fan since 1983. why isnt she selling out? Los Angeles hasnt even sold out ONE NIGHT - seating equivalent to 2 nights at MSG. thats unheard of - ITS MADONNA!!!

    Yeah I'm kinda flabbergasted about the London situation similarly.

    She went on Prime Time Saturday night TV here for a full hour with 2 live performances - the first time that's happened in the UK in 10 years - and tickets went on general sale Monday morning after that. So she had the kind of FREE ADVERTISING most acts could only dream of.

    Yet she could not sell ONE night at the London O2 with sufficient speed for them to add a 2nd date immediately. In fact it took weeks and weeks before they felt confident to add a 2nd date - and the plans for a 3rd date were binned.

    London is one of the largest and richest cities in the world - and MADONNA can basically only sell out one night at an indoor arena comfortably - even with massive primetime TV promotion happening.

    I remember CT - they were adding extra London gigs faster than you could blink - as each one sold out. Ended up doing EIGHT nights!!

    OMG Jamesy do you know Alyssa, shes a big Madonna fan, best friends with Kat. She's in the same boat. I can PM you her Facebook. Shes Puerto Rican so she can help out in that respect but she posted about PR refunds last night

    Hey that would be great Chelle! This whole thing has turned into such a disaster but I will damned if I don't at least get my concert ticket money back! Thanks. :-)

    Anyone know anything more about how to get ticket refunds for the Puerto Rico concerts?

    I got an email from the ticket website today (Ticketpop) and (as I feared) it doesn't sound like it's going to be easy.

    Says I have to call an automated service in Puerto Rico and leave my contact number - then someone from their office will call me (at what time of the day or night, no indication is given). But will they call international numbers? Is that realistic? Sounds very very primitive. Do I need to include international dialling code on my contact number that I speak into their system? Will they understand my accent on the recording - in English?

    FUCKSAKE! I bought the ticket online - refund should be an online process.

    The sheer arrogance of it all gets to me a little.

    It's kinda like "oh well - nevermind - I'm a perfectionist - it's no big deal".

    Except stuff like this is costing lots of people a lot of money and a better excuse and explanation is in order.

    And please think of it like this - if we're really to believe that with over THREE MONTHS to go, they are cancelling all these shows cos they're worried about a few days of extra rehearsal and preparation, then are any dates scheduled for the first month of the tour reliable?

    When they're actually CLOSE to tour opening - that's when issues to do with rehearsals, stage construction, videos etc. etc. really come to light. They may just swap around a load of other dates on a whim closer to the time.

    Oh - and as for refunds - even though it's trivial in comparison to everything else - can't imagine anyone will get that ridiculous Live Nation $25 "pre-sale" fee back, who purchased it specifically to buy for these first shows.

    Even so, the Tidal deal was sealed in January behind closed doors (see here) and she would have known the topic would be hot when taping J-Whi.

    I would be intrigued to hear her elaborate on Tidal – their PR lingo so far has been totally overblown, they're making their business sound like a landmark moment in the history of mankind without actually going into any concrete detail as to how exactly this will change the course of history.

    Either way, I am really happy J-Whi will ask her about parenting. Now there's a fresh angle! I wonder how she juggles parenthood and career :electropop:

    Agree with you on all that! :-)

    Can't imagine Tidal was on the mind of Jo Whiley tho when she interviewed Madonna.

    Unless the interview is actually taking place today I doubt we will hear anything about that.

    South Africa / Cape Town Gig - according to report published today

    According to Cape Town Lately’s sources, Madonna and Katy Perry will be performing at Cape Town Stadium in Green Point later this year.

    Cape Town Lately has it on good authority that the two female superstars are likely to be on stage in the Mother City in 2015.

    A few more arrangements and confirmations are needed before an official announcement can be made, according to sources. However, it’s believed that negotiations have reached an advanced stage.


    Sounds unlikely - but I wonder why they would print something like that today from nothing? Maybe 2016 as part of the Southern Hemisphere leg of the tour?

    A price drop? Is that a possibility? Haha

    As it gets close to concert date it's common to see massive price cuts on resale tickets as sellers panic that they might not get rid of them.

    The concert ticket is an unusual commodity - its value can fluctuate wildly - but come the day after the show it's worth a big fat zero!

    I can't believe how cheap the tickets are in Europe. The same seats are 3-4 times more in the US. Wtf.

    The floor seats in USA are £270 and in UK are £200.

    On previous tours they were always roughly the same - but the UK pound is "strong" right now and I think that partly explains the bigger difference.

    Remember you can't compare the USA prices to most of the other European gigs - cos those EU gigs are standing / GA - which will be way cheaper than a seated concert no matter what.

    This is true

    But people are in fear that tickets will get sold out, and will have to buy something far from the stage.

    I understand - and I've been there myself and I know that the fear takes over!

    Just be careful I say. I hated that feeling of being pressured into buying a ticket and then finding one much better in the normal sales or elsewhere.

    That's what these fanclub presales are all about IMO - making you feel pressured.
