Can you please go ahead and contact the venue directly? You’re a doll. Thank you.
The venue is going to say the same thing because they, just like Ticketmaster, can only communicate what the promoter (Live Nation) tells them.

The OFFICIAL setlist that my mom's hairdresser's boyfriend's cousin told someone down the street who relayed it to me in sign language:
1) I'd Rather Be Your Lover
2) Jimmy Jimmy
3) I'm So Stupid
4) Bitch I'm Loca
5) Shoo-Bee-Doo
6) Hung Up (sung backwards in Yiddish)
7) Dear Jessie
8) Did You Do It? (Dance Interlude)
9) Mer Girl
10) Fan Request (but it's always La Isla Bonita or Candyshop)
11) Me Against the Music
12) Erotica remix with new lyrics tied to fundraising for Raising Malawi
13) Rescue Me (just the first line of the first verse)
14) Email My Heart (Britney Spears cover)
15) Candyshop
16) Candyshop (interlude)

Meanwhile local or not she just had more than ten concerts with at least 30 000 people each time. And 180 000 people for three shows next year. Madonna? Nowhere at this time.
Request a refund for your Madonna concert + deactivate your account here + join a Mylene Farmer message board = problem solved.

The emails were real, one of my friends (who bought a ticket for Lisbon on Viagogo) got sent it early today and PANICKED.
Maybe they started sending automatic notifications after the glitch...
Viagogo is a THIRD PARTY TICKETING RESALE SITE. A modern day digital scalper. They have no official communication with Madonna, Live Nation, or any promoter. Nothing from them or any other scalper site should be considered official.

I bet we will get her on stage 3 hours .... 3 hours after the start time.

I'm sure she had videographers documenting the rehearsal process like she did for most of her tours since ReInvention. She should have them document this recovery too and the eventual re-rehearsals leading up to the new opening night. It would make a great documentary ala Truth or Dare that I could easily see Netflix, Max, Peacock, or Paramount+ scooping up.

Anyway, we're all just sharing our opinions and ideas. I personally would like her to do some interviews. I think she is due for something candid, humbling, showing the world her perseverance that she's throwing in the towel just yet.
I co-sign this. A good, in-depth interview with a major outlet would be fantastic. It would be a great opportunity to turn the general public's negative image of her around and remind people of why she's the icon she is.

Colour grading has always been around - it wasn’t new in 1993. Halloween (1978) was heavily colour graded to instil the autumn visual, and Twin Peaks (1990) was entirely colour graded to give the warm, soap opera, ‘American’ feel.
Not sure why so many people in here are saying colour grading was new in the early 90s. Perhaps there were advancements around that time, but the process was decades old by that point. There won’t be a single Madonna music video that hasn’t been colour graded to a certain extent.
You are partially correct. Halloween used color timing to grade the film. Digital color grading was not available yet. Twin Peaks may have experimented with digital color grading - I'm not sure.
You are correct that color grading has been around for some time. However, the technological advancement of digital color grading, which emerged in the 1990's, was a completely new way to do post-production work and revolutionized the industry.
Old-school, non-digital methods to grade film were quite limiting compared to digital grading. In brief, non-digital options pre-early 90's could only control RGB (red, green, blue) by using photochemicals on the film itself.
With digital grading, you could now control each color in the spectrum - red, green, blue, purple, pink, orange, etc. along with the tone and shade of each. This opened up a whole new world of possibilities. You could also grade on a computer without striking new film for each color change so the process was less costly and much faster.
Color grading has even advanced past that in more recent years with digital intermediates but that's a whole other story....
That's a simplistic way to put it but if you want to read more here you go:

Again:
the more likely story is it was color graded and not colorized from BW. Color grading was a new technique exploding in popularity at the time in 1993.
That’s why the colors pop and, generally, the whole video has a narrow specific color palette. This technique and flexibility with color wouldn’t have been available just a few years earlier.
It’s pretty common place these days: wonder why nearly every scene in Jerry Bruckheimer action films (Top Gun Maverick/Bad Boys) always look like the sun is perfectly setting throughout the whole movie? Color grading. Wonder why films like Se7en and Saw feel super moody and gritty? Color grading, A lot of movies with many night scenes now shoot “day for night” and then just color grade it in post to make it look like air was filmed at night.

I was always skeptical of the “shot in BW and then painted with color” thing. What most likely happened was that it was shot traditionally in color and then COLOR GRADED with emerging computer technology. Movies around this time were dipping their toe in new color grading opportunities with it really hitting its stride around the release of David Fintcher’s SE7EN. It was a new concept at the time so I bet whoever made the initial “ hand painted” comment just didn’t yet have the technical vocabulary to explain it.

With one Pit called "Danceteria" and the other Pit "Sound Factory" I don't see how she wouldn't perform either Secret or Bedtime Story. You know who's mixes.
She hates "you know who." I think she only included his mixes on FEL because it would be a glaring omission if she didn't.

What about ticketmaster resale? Has anybody tried it? If I buy a resale ticket will I get a new barcode for me?
Ticketmaster resale is technically an official ticketing source. Everyone hates how it monopolizes the industry but they are legitimate tickets vs. 3rd party sites like Viagogo. You'd be suprised how many fraudulent tickets are sold on those other sites.

Unless she’s doing a Janet style show of setlist, that show is about 12 songs too long. You can tell it’s fake anyway, the songs that have been mentioned on Instagram are conveniently next to each other (Virgin/BIM)/(Candy Perfume Girl/Burning Up).
Beyonce and Taylor are doing setlists that long. I hope that she thinks past the 4-act structure. It's stale. She's been doing that for almost 40 years. And, to her credit, she innovated that style of concerts. But it's time to evolve.

I purchased tickets for Madame X in Paris, concert cancelled and it took me 6 months to get my money back, had to complain to the banking regulator after visa denied my chargeback. Viagogo accused me of fraud as they claimed they had fulfilled their obligations in providing me with tickets, the fact the concert was cancelled was not their problem….. just my personal experience.
Viagogo is a third-party ticket resale site. Basically the digital version of buying off a scalper on the street. I would avoid at all cost.

Side note - watching Beyonce's Renaissance Tour videos on Youtube I can't help but think of how little she moves/dances. The tour looks AMAZING. Mashing up "Alien Superstar" with "Sweet Dreams" had me gagged! They've done a great job on visuals and while keeping Bey pretty stagnant throughout the show. She moves but I would not call it a dance heavy show for her. Not a complaint or criticism. Again - it looks and sounds amazing! Just an observation. I wish Madonna would approach her next tours in the same way. She's not a superhero. She can pull off an amazing show without herculean physical gymnastics.

If I never hear her sing Like A Prayer live again it will be too soon.
I think LAP and Vogue will always have a spot in the setlist going forward.

Drowned World was one of my favorite openings too...unexpected at the time!
Slow songs that I imagine could work as openers with the right visuals and musical accompaniment. The benefit of starting with a ballad or slower song is that its the opener and everyone is going to be going nuts anyway regardless of what she's singing. It's a creative way to sneak in a song that may otherwise be a little less "exciting" if it were later in the setlist. Like Drowned World Tour - every option here would have to follow up with a big dance song to propel the audience's energy :
LIVE TO TELL
CRAZY FOR YOU
DON'T TELL ME (a ballad version?!)
LIKE A PRAYER (a slow version into a dance version)
DIE ANOTHER DAY (spoken word)
JUSTIFY MY LOVE

Obvious!!...how did that one slip my mind!?
Though I doubt she'll open with a non-dance/high energy song. But I wish she would. The opening of Drowned World with Substitute for Love is one of my favorites. And the Beast Within on RIT - though that wasn't a performance - just a video backdrop leading into Vogue.

Does anyone else think "Live To Tell" would now be the perfect tour opener? Some relatable lyrics in there...
Die Another Day babe.
"I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go -
ANYWAY………..
Ticketmaster has sent out official postponed emails for my Pittsburgh and Dallas tickets. They include the refund language I mentioned previously in this or another thread.

Just because they flipped the photo it doesn't mean it was a mistake lol it was very clearly intended my Madonna, the graphic designer and Warner
There were two versions of the art at one point in 1994 in the United States: one with her right side up and one with her upside down. One of them was the “correct” intended version of the art and one of them was a mistake. There was even an MTV News report on it from 1994. Google it.
