Floor POD seats for all the MSG shows were released today. They're all in the 12th-14th rows of that section. Assuming there's a catwalk like the last tour the distance would be like the 40th row on the floor. They're good but I passed on them and am waiting for something better. The tickets are still there now, so if you want 'em go grab 'em.

Sticky & Sweet Tour rehearsals.
Rehearsals for the Sticky & Sweet tour are taking place on a soundstage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The band are working on music from 10 - 2 every day, before Madonna arrives at 3 pm.
Thanks to our collaborator and insider JPASC24.

Yeah I think she'll add another NY show. They are charging price level 1 to sit in seats which were price level 2 on previous tours there and easily getting away with it there!

Concert Promoter: Madonna Tour Not a Flop
Hilary Lewis | Jun 24, 2008 3:25 PM
NY Post: Big sales around the world for the Material Girl's upcoming "Sticky & Sweet" tour have been overshadowed in music industry circles by chatter about the large number of tickets still available for a key stop in Los Angeles in November and softer-than-expected sales of her latest album "Hard Candy."
The tour so far has grossed more than $74 million in sales for 13 dates in Europe and piled up a string of sellouts at arenas across North America, according to Live Nation.
Arthur Fogel, chairman of global music and CEO of the global touring division at Live Nation, projects the tour will gross more than $250 million in ticket sales - surpassing her record-breaking "Confessions on a Dance Floor" tour two years ago, which pulled in $195 million worldwide.
Frankly, we have to agree with Live Nation here. Madonna has become one of those celebrities (like Tom Cruise and Mariah Carey) who's bigger abroad than here. She lives in London and speaks with a British accent. And if the tour still pulls in $250 million worldwide, Live Nation will still get its money, and so will Madonna. (Also, maybe those poor U.S. sales have something to do with the fact that tickets are as high as $500 each.)
Also, the Post points out that Madonna's current album has only sold 544,000 copies in the U.S. The Post makes this sound like a failure by writing, "That's barely half of what rapper Lil Wayne recently sold in the first week for his latest album Tha Carter III." But that Lil Wayne album was a shocking, uncharacteristic success. He was the first artist to sell more than a million copies in his first week since 2005, and only the 12th artist to do so ever. Also, it makes sense that Confessions on a Dance Floor would have sold more than 1.6 million copies: It's two-and-a-half years old. Hard Candy was just released two months ago.

The length of time from when tickets went on sale till the actual showdate is longer this time than the past few tours. She has PLENTY of time to sell the remaining tickets.

I still have an old article from her Reinvention tour saying that it was bombing and tickets were not selling.
Was it this one? Also from the NY Post.
MADONNA'S CONCERTS BOMBING
By MARY HUHN
June 16, 2004 -- Maybe Madonna's "Re-Invention Tour" needs a little retooling.
Thousands of tickets are still available for the Material Mom's six-night stand at Madison Square Garden that begins tonight — many at cut-rate prices.
Late yesterday, Ticketmaster, the official retail outlet for Madonna concert tickets, had seats in all price ranges ($50 to $300) for all six nights.
And some ticket brokers — who usually offer seats at a premium — were desperately trying to clear their bloated inventories with discounts of up to 30 percent off face value.
"We're losing money on these tickets," said one broker offering deep discounts. "The bottom line is she's doing too many shows."
Besides the six MSG shows, the 45-year-old musical artist has two shows slated for Continental Airlines Arena across the Hudson in New Jersey next month as part of her 19-city world tour.
"Tickets are selling well, but not as well as anticipated," said Michael Issac, president of broker Preferred Ticket.com. "Three years ago was a much stronger tour."
That tour, "Drowned World," "was a whole other ballgame," Issac said. While his agency isn't discounting tickets for this stand, the last tour drew prices "five times" the current stand.
A broker at greattickets.com said the phone was ringing off the hook, but not for Madonna — for the NBA's Detroit Pistons, who are close to winning the league championship series from the Los Angeles Lakers.
"Her public opinion might be shifting," said the broker, who did not want to be identified.
A few brokers remained optimistic yesterday, offering $300 second row center seats for tonight for up to $1,700.
And a $300 front row center seat for Sunday's performance was offered for $2,400.
Front row seats for tonight may not be available through Ticketmaster, but as of last night, $300 tickets on the floor in Row L were available for face value plus the usual processing fees.
The show was initially reported sold out, but last week hundreds of tickets were released as more seats became available after the stage was set up.
Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's publicist, said she's not worried.
She remained confident that tonight's show will "absolutely" sell out.
"A lot of people know that last-minute tickets are available," says Rosenberg.
She's doing well nationally. According to Pollstar, the first 10 shows averaged $2.6 million in ticket sales, selling more than 136,000 tickets over 10 shows in four cities. The average ticket price is $175.
The tour is on track to be the top-grossing tour of 2004, with a gross in the $120 million range and attendance of about 920,000. "New York has always been an exceptional market for Madonna," says Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar. "It's hard to believe she's not selling tickets. It could be she held back tickets, and people are just finding out."
Meanwhile cable channel Trio TV is having a little fun at Madonna's expense, hosting three Madonna silver-screen bombs at the Loews Theater on 34th Street.
The schedule: "Who's That Girl," tonight; "Body of Evidence" next Wednesday, and "Swept Away," on June 29.
