Guest mirwais72 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 It depends on how many people are logged on trying to do the same thing. During the Astros presale, Lesbi and I logged on to get tickets and it took less than a minute. It was great. Tickets kept popping up and we kept throwing them back in. We didn't buy the first ones that came up because we ended up getting better seats waiting. We ended up with Section C, Row 22 and 23. On Saturdays, other sales are going on at the same time so I am not sure if that makes a difference on the wait time. If it takes more than 10 minutes, I would worry throwing tickets back in for fear it might take longer to get back in the cue. If you have time, it pays to not get the first tickets offered to you. In this case, you have to decide. Good luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boytoyville Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looks like ticketmaster is busy for this show. You have to wait for 3 minutes to get tickets to pop up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Bon Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I guess I won't be getting any tickets today.. I called my bank and it takes them about 3 days to process the payments. Ughh.... I knew I should have payed earlier this week... I just hope I can find good seats as the date approaches... I really don't want to pay more than what they're actually worth.. but shit I wanna see her concert!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirwais72 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Lesbi and I got tickets together during the Astros presale thanks to his co-worker. We got Section C, Rows 22 and 23 and I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THOSE! That's on top of the ones I had before which I have to get rid of. Lesbi did general sale today for some friends and did some cheaper seats. After talking to him, I decided to CALL Ticketmaster (which is old school, I know). I told myself if they offered anything in the first 5 rows or if anything decent came up, I would get them. I set those high standards because I knew nothing would be available. I called at 10:20am or so and I got through in 2 minutes. The girl was very nice and as she was looking, I felt bad that I was going to deny the tickets because she worked so hard to find them. She comes back and tells me she has SECTION E, ROW 7! I asked her to repeat it because I was seconds away from shitting my pants. Impuslively, I BOUGHT THEM! (No, I can't afford them!) Ticketmaster and the whole ticket process is a tricky thing. Calling Ticketmaster is old school but when I think about the thousands of us online trying to get tickets, it makes sense. Is there a thread already started to find out where everyone is sitting? It would be cool to meet the faces of the everyone in here!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vermicious knid Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Got mine! Apparently I am the only one not going for the lettered sections. I chose the $95 category. Section 127, row 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirwais72 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have had some high priced seats and low priced seats at various dates for Madonna's shows. Any experience is an amazing one. There is something about a live show and as you know, she can put on a SHOW! Enjoy! So, what are the odds of a second show in Houston? She added a show in Vegas and Denver today. Denver is right before Houston. She doesn't play on Fridays so there are about three days she can play with to add another date. So far, I think the places she added an extra date were arenas. Not sure if she would do a two day stadium stop. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boytoyville Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 ^ There has been no second date added to Dever or Vegas on ticketmaster yet. *edit* I see they have been added to Madonna.com though! P.S. Why does Madonna.com only list the US dates in their listing,are the internatinal dates listed in a different section? This is what I am looking at. https://tickets.madonna.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probed By Greys Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 They are building a beautiful stadium right now in TX. She should go there for her next tour.

Guest boytoyville Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I went to check and the first thing offered to me was something in the 200 section. If you search for two tickets like most people do you only get level 400. If you are looking for a single ticket you get the 200 level. So basically what is left for most people searching for tix is 400 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not up to date either by any means. They have always had this problem. I never understood how or why live nation & madonna.com can never post ALL of her tour dates. It's like they want to keep them secret! lol Not to mention that they still have the Philly date listed as the 19th on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirwais72 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Yeah, I noticed it was updated but it did have all the US shows and otherwsie all together. They should release al the dates but I wonder if they don't because many are not confirmed. I am sure they have many reserved in the event she does a second show but I think extra shows are determined by ticket sales of the first. Who knows...I am ready for ther tour to start!

Stubhub's prices have been going down, there are also good seats available through eBay. Even craigslist's Houston has many listings. I have checked several ticket brokers and their prices are $1,000-$2,000 for the floor seats that sold for $350! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iasonas Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 We also need to request her on 104 KRBE, it's the biggest radio station in Houston! Ok, but promise me that you're gonna call! I cannot call from Greece, they're gonna understand my accent!lol 713-390-KRBE (5723) On KRBE ask the Hard Candy singles and even Music and Don't tell me. It's not 100% top40 station Here is the biggest Hot AC IN hOUSTON Mix 96.5: REQUEST LINE: 713-212-5965 Here request everything! 80s 90s and Hard Candy singles! They play 4 Minutes, no10 on their playlist! Here is the all new HOT 95.7(you know, the big posters all over the city:)) (713) 390-5957 or text your favourite song to 43952(Come on, if you don't want to call at least send a text! It's just a text message!! That station says all the time that it's the new generation of top40 radio in America, they're writing history and things like that lol and people decide what the station is gonna play! Next week please write 'Give it to me-Madonna and send it! The song will be delivered to the radio and it's very important. And of course text 4 Minutes. The song can easily be a re-current in top40 stations)! Here request the Hard Candy singles And do not forget KODA fm! It's no1 in ages above 30. (713) 212-5991 Request 80s and 90s and even Music and Don't tell me Please do it! Her airplay in Houston is not so good compared to markets like Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego etc.. The hot AC and AC stations must support her more. And we should be grateful that the New CBS radio station Hot 95.7 showed interest for Madonna! Do not forget the Madonna posters all over the city. And now that she is coming in November there is a good chance for more older hits to be added and of course for the top40 stations to support the rest of the hard candy singles. Don't forget that Houston is now the sixth largest music market in America I can do that for all the big radio markets if you want. The only problem that she is facing in her career now is the airplay in America. The calls might not work so much always in top40 formats but if you call AC,HOT AC and Adult Hits formats it counts! It's my pleasure to make lists like that. Here it's pointless to make calls because every 10 minutes they play Madonna, whatever format it is So I guess that we should all focus on that.. But I wish I could call.. So I need your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesshot Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Perez reports Houston is sold out. That should be about 45,000+. Good job Madge! This will be the MOST she has played to in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirwais72 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The official site for Minute Maid Park says that the official stats for seating in the park is 40,950. If you notice on the seating chart, there is a lot of gray area of seats which were not sold because of obstructive viewing. It isn't a lot but either way, even if it's 35,000, it's excellent. I am still confused as to why she chose stadiums...I guess less shows in certain cities. It would have been great to have had 2 nights in Houston at Toyota. Toyota seats 19,000 for concerts. I think Reliant Stadium has horrible acoustics and that would have sucked. It doesn't matter, she is FINALLY coming back to Texas and I couldn't be happier.
