So the NYC presale is in the morning? Good luck! I don't think anyone will have trouble getting the type of tickets they want with such a limited pre-sale.

If the tour starts in a month and a half she should be already rehearsing like 24/7 currently. I'm still very doubtful about the tour starting this year to be very honest...

her photographer has been posting pictures from inside the arena, as well as some of the dancers. why do artists need to share rehearsals before the show ?

She was two weeks from opening night. Opening night is over 6 weeks away. It makes sense she will start rehearsing in the next few weeks.

[Kieran 1,164]

Yeah, I imagine the show is currently running full run-throughs with lights, screens and dancers at around 90+% complete. Dancers and tech guys fitting back into the groove they were in before the break. With an M stand-in. Pretty soon M will step into the show like a glove. 😍

You have to remember that she had been rehearsing for months up until 2 weeks before the original opening night. The production was likely almost complete by then including dress rehearsals so everything is still fresh in her mind. It's not like everyone has to completely start over from scratch.

I had a dream that I attended opening night. The first section had the most random setlist:

Jump 

Into The Groove 

Music 

Vogue 

Girl Gone Wild

Totally agree. Pure speculation from my point, but I assume most time now is spent for Madonna to revalidate her body, stamina and vocal chords. Judging from the few videos of her birthday I'd say she is on the mends.

She certainly seems on the mends!!!! YEY!  I have to admit though, I think the restart of the tour is too early. To stop everyone worrying and we love her idve preferred it all to be put off till next year till she's perfected her rehab. Her illness was BAD. I dont want it to return with a lower immune system esp with back to back dates.  This isnt being negative this is for the safety of her and its seems she's been stubborn (as usual) to not fk up fans plans and money.  It might not her good for her just yet. 

Said it now but to keep M alive is more important, you can tell we all love her yet a little worried. Idve delayed the whole thing. This is my own opinion. Please please please dont come for me. Its from love. She will be kicking herself if theres any cancellations or shes poorly again or the show isnt what was in her mind. 

In the back of my head Im just like, sit on a stool for half of it and do ballads. Wed (well most) would adore it just to be in the same room again with her ALIVE!  Im not shocked shed demanded to come back so soon but Leo's can be a nightmare.

I don't know, it's just me and my feelings, probably wrong by the way, but i was always under the impression that the tour wasn't ready at all. I know it sounds like biggest stupidity ever but i can't lie about what i feel, i can't help it. I still can't believe she will start a huge and amazing world tour in a few weeks. Sorry if i hurt anyone by sharing what i feel. I repeat i'm probably totally wrong.

It's just a feeling and a feeling can be true or wrong. 

But seriously, she did 11 tours before this one. Why this tour especially wouldn't be ready ? It will be totally OK like the 11 previous. Maybe all you need to do is trust, trust Madonna, she's a perfectionnist. I'm sure the tour is ready and will be just as perfect as the previous 

[Brendanlovesu1 12,452]

DrownedMadonna are reporting they have received an update from Madonna's team about the refund for the LA concerts. All refunds will be processed this morning, according to Los Angeles time.

Sooo, I got the email last night... mine was missing a code.

I thought it was because it would not be needed, but when checking today Ticketmaster asks for a code. Complete fail!

Luckily I can't actually go on the rescheduled date, so it's not blocking me from getting tickets I want - but fans shouldn't have to experience these technical fails when trying to buy tickets.

Not exactly, no. 

Coming from someone who does live performance professionally, you really only begin the full dress rehearsals a couple of weeks before opening night. At this moment, she's well over a month away from the first show. Considering she was essentially in the full dress stage when this all happened, there's no need for her to be rushing back into full on rehearsal at this point. The show is done, there's no reason she can't just pick up where she left off in a couple weeks. 

Doing those kinds of rehearsals this far out is pointless and needlessly exhaustive.

Received same email this morning, then 10 mins before the sale started I got another email with a real code. Even when I eventually logged on all the Iconic VIP tickets were sold. Couldn't make the new date anyway. What a mess.

[mikemgmve 133]

I have not received any emails or codes from ticketmaster, I've double checked all spam filters and everything. Feeling a bit deflated.

 

anyone know what date the 1/7 tickets were filtered into?

For the 12/16 show private pre-sale today, Iconic VIP tickets are still available now -- for both pits.  There's still at least 10 Immaculate VIP tickets still available too -- and few Platinum tickets in the same area.

I got that same 2nd email this morning -- AFTER I'd already completed my checkout for my new tickets.  I didn't need a code to purchase Iconic VIP -- it appeared the only tickets that needed codes were further back on the floor and lower bowl seats -- But there were tons of Immaculate, Iconic, You Can Dance VIP, and Platinum tix available at 10am without entering any code.

I hate that this was such a mess

I just received a corrected email with an actual code 1 hour and 20 mins after tickets went on sale. An absolute fuck up.

what a mess.  One thing I noticed when I logged in this morning, and again a few minutes ago, if you're looking for the best floor seats (Immaculate, Iconic, You Can Dance, Platinum), you didn't even need the code.  The code looks like it was only for the back of the floor, and lower & upper bowl seats.  I didn't need one this morning for the Iconic tix I got.   So frustrating.

Fan fiction as usual. Unless there are receipts 🧾 just ignore it.
