she could sell a selfie polaroid with a fan and maybe even sign it ? but honestly im not jealous or pressed about the whole polaroid thing or the ticket prices and all of it. it is what it is. if youre rich lucky you ? i just want a good dvd hopefully :/

Uploaded. Waiting for cut and remaster. 
 

Yeah. The whole dance intro was without the typewriter words projected. which people already said was too long, but without the words... it was a bit repetitive but still fun to watch. 
GC started and M started singing, then she turns around and kneels and can see there’s no projection when the choir part starts... she mumbled something about the projections and I could feel that she was NOT happy. Probably thinking about stopping cuz this show probably wouldn’t work without them. 
 
then as soon as the disco strings started the projections appeared and it was like a second entrance for Madonna. The crowd started cheering, Madonna relaxed, and the greatest show happened again. 

Come Alive was dope as fuck. Batuka and Killers ? thx Madame X loved the dick jokes. Also speaking of dicks those detectives looked familiar ???

???

I look forward to experience this show... didn't hear or see anything except the "official" pictures that are not very close up.
The show may look simple but I think the experience is everything. Seeing and hearing Madonna in a small venue, that's totally different from her usual arena shows for sure. So stop complaining if you didn't see the show !
Of course, any of us would have made a different setlist, but it's impossible to please everyone with such a consistant catalogue. I'm glad the Madame X album is defended by her like this, she's definitely not a nostalgia act yet and I want to enjoy.
Most important thing for me as a fan, is that she sounds good singing live, because some events have been a public disgrace. It seems she delivers great vocals in the show, happy about that !
Thanks for the reports !!

TONIGHT 

Two more days for me and I'll be in Brooklyn. I'm starting to freak out inside!!!!

I'm pretty sure every night it goes to Raising Malawi. M has no need AT ALL to keep it. Anyway, i'm happy for these people, i mean, if u have the money, and most important, U R WILLING TO SPEND IT ON THE POLAROID, then go for it. I have the money but i wouldn't pay 1000 for it, but that's just my opinion. Or maybe i should try, as i'm a nurse myself too ??????????

EXTREMELY INTERESTING REPORT ABOUT THE POLAROID THING FROM TRIBE
http://news.madonnatribe.com/en/2019/juans-front-row-experience-and-a-polaroid/

 
This is Juan from Madrid. Madonna fan all my life.
When Madame X Tour was announced, the first cities were in the US and to buy tickets there was a lottery system. I saw the prices and told myself: Go for one ticket in NYC. I saw the list of cities and the days of each show and decided to enter the lottery for only one in one city and one price range: VIP Medellín. Front row experience. And yes, 1,995USD plus taxes. I entered.
The day the lucky winners were announced I was really nervous. No email. No email. Then I decided to check my credit card status and voilá, the charge for the ticket was there. The same day I received the email confirmation in the afternoon. Days before they emailed me with my seat: Row AA seat 12. Haaaaaaapy.
So this year my holidays were going to be in the US, last stop NYC. I had to be in NYC on September 21st. I arrived NYC on Septeber 16th. The opening night was going to happen on September 17th. I had no tickets for that show. So I entered the Icon contest for 10$ tickets but I did not win. So my friends and me decided to go to a Broadway musical: Beetlejuice. Next concert happened on Wednesday 18th. For that show there was not Icon contest, and I had a cruise on East River reserved. During the cruise I decided to check Ticketmaster, to see how much were tickets for the next concert, Thursday 19th. Then I realized prices went down for the unsold seats even the verified resale tickets. And I saw one ticket that my heart started beating fast: Mezzanine Row A. I bought it. My friends didn´t have tickets for any concert, they were with me just for holidays. But on Thursday they went to Ticketmaster and got tickets in Mezzanine for 95$. So we all went to the concert that day. No long queu, at 8pm we were inside the venue. That day the show started around 10:30pm. For me, I really enjoyed while waiting for the concert to start.
Show started. Amazing! No spoilers. But I had read that at one moment she tooks a selfie with a Polaroid and sells it to the audience. First day, Rosiebought it. Second night Andy Cohen bought it. That night I was attending I saw how it was sold. Two fans went in front of stage, they offered around 100$. Then a girl from row D or E went and offered 1,000USD. OMG! She got the Polaroid. Madonna said: “Only cash”.
My mind started to think the idea of trying to buy it on Saturday, I was going to be front row. So I decided to try it and went to an ATM and got cash.
Now my experience as VIP Medellín. Saturday September 21st, BAM. I arrived at 6:30pm. Only 5 people on VIP Live Nation queue. We entered the theater at 7pm. I went to the VIP area, there you can use your phones. Drinks, appetizers, photo call, music. Fantastic time there. Backstage tour started at 8:40pm. Amazing experience. We saw many areas, and also where Madonna changes customes. Toni Villanueva was there. Also we saw Celeste Rodrigues’ grandson: he plays with Madonna on stage. Applauses.
Back to VIP area and also a first look at my seat. My seat was #12, last seat on the row was #14. Concert started around 11:30pm. The guy from seat 14 told me: “This intro is amazing”.
Then Polaroid moment arrived. I was in my seat. Madonna said: “How much will you offer for it”. Two or three people went near the stairs to the stage. So I moved there two. I put on my knees. I had on mind what I was going to offer, I had the cash in my wallet. A young boy told: “It is my birthday, I offer you 500USD”. My heart started beating faster. OMG it is his birthday! But I was not going to fight against him. I had my money in my wallet and I took it out and a paper where I wrote the money I was offering. And displayed. Madonna said: “Madame X is a material girl”. Then looked at me and asked me: “How much do you offer?”. I told: “1,500USD” (and… I´m not a rich, don’t hang your shit on me…). I wanted wanted the Polaroid so badly (well, everybody offering money wanted it so badly too). She asked my name and what I did for living. Told her: “Juan from Madrid. I work in a hospital, I´m a nurse”. “You save lives”. I think some people said: “For him (the Polaroid)”. Maybe I´m wrong and they said the opposite. We counted the money, we shook hands. She also shooks hand of the birthday boy. I returned to my seat.
Wow, I was in heaven, I was in front row, Madonna in front of me, talking to me, and the polaroid in my hand… But the concert was on. I focused again on the show and Madonna.
Now a little spoiler: at some point, she goes down to the orchestra section, and seats on a special seat put there for her: seat #16 (later removed when she goes back on stage). So she was there again (I noticed on Thursday how good my seat was, so I knew she was going to seat and speak with the guy next to me). She was so close to me and at same face level, that I was looking at her face and eyes for about… 5 minutes? 8 minutes? That was heaven. She also spoke to me while she was there, and when she left back to stage she said: “Thank you Juan for the cash”. OMFG!!!!!!!
I´ve seen her front row many times in Europe, but in previous tour in Europe the arena o stadium floor is standing, no reserved seats, so if you want front row you have to be in line for at least 2 days. Many people does it, I do it. I even know people that queued for one week. My first Madonna concert was DWT opening night in Barcelona. Since then, all tours. I use to go to one or two concerts each tour, maybe 3, but not more (I´m not a rich, don’t hang your shit on me). For this tour I already have been 2 in Brooklyn. I have tickets for 2 more in London and one more in Paris.
The concert was amazing, her voice sounded perfect. My favourite part was Frozen. You need to look at her and the backdrop video.
End of the night. Needed to sit for 10-15 minutes and text my friends. I was shaking. And then back to Manhattan by metro.

Juan sent some photos from outside the Brooklyn Academy of Music Opera House, from the VIP area, the photo group on the stage (shot by a professional photographer, no other photos are allowed during the backstage tour), and also the photo above with the Polaroid on it.
The pic is small and there’s a nice Desperately Seeking Susan heart on it but we undestand why: “It’s not about the money, it’s about the moment I lived with Madonna on Saturday,” Juan explains – and we’re sure all Madonna fans can relate.
 

New pic of the show, second set

Are they coming??!!
 

I'm going next week as well. Two shows Thursday & Saturday. I'm freaking out I have butterflies in my stomach thinking about it! 

I’m going on Tuesday  ???

im 23 and ive been a madonna fan since 2010? lmao i was 14 and i still remember of how in love i was with her at the sticky & sweet tour dvd, the front cover of my notebook at school was a picture of her giving the middle finger during s&s round two lmao
 i dont know about you guys but im satisfied with the tour. OF COURSE I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING to see her performing songs like nothing really matters or even rescue me live, but come onnn!!! she literally added rescue me after the dude from billboard asked her to! even if its just an interlude, this is a very unique moment for all of us madonna fans.
and we're only three shows into the tour. the tour has more than 80 shows to go, SO MUCH can happen! she performed so many gems during rebel heart tour, and she rehearsed to many songs during the rehearsals for madame x tour... of course that doesnt prove anything (helloooooooooo hold on tight, how are ya doin!) but this is a whole other level concert that we're talking about. madonna is all about reinvention, and i can feel that madame x still has a lot to show. madonna herself said that the show wasnt complete lmao
what we need to do is trust her and her vision more. from what we have seen (videos, pics and even the full audio of the opening night) this show is just UGH legendary. seriously. lets just wait and enjoy the ride, it could have been waaay more worse if she didnt tour at all lmao. 

So much positive energy around here
I think people really need to do some yoga today, I don't know, maybe play Has To Be in the background and you will feel so much better. Promise xx
What about this? It's genius and it's saved my life countless of times!

On a serious note, guys, haven't you made very clear you totally disliked the show? It's not like we don't know how to read English . Why stuck in the same dark place over and over? Move on! If you're not going to the show ALRIGHT! There're other priorities I guess aaaaand yes, the tour is expensive.  Want to continue supporting Madonna? OK! Stick to the oldies and enjoy them as they are. I agree most of us all want Madonna to do/to be whatever is happening in our minds because we've been idolizing her and supporting her for so long and it's awful when we feel she *kinda* fails. However, I strongly believe that when it comes to the point it is really affecting you... just go away for a couple of days, or maybe longer and you'll eventually see that it was silly to get upset about things that are beyond our control. After all, we're just a bunch of people on the internet fighting each other about someone we don't even *know* in real life
