I actually think it doesn't matter. In fact, I'm pretty sure that a normal standing ticket will be more enjoyable. The "main stage" looks microscopic and I doubt she'll spend much time there. By the looks of it, she'll be moving around a lot. For some people, that brief moment of seeing her up close is worth all that money and I get that, but I think I'd be pretty annoyed to only see her back for most of the concert from either GA pits or the Golden Circle. 

Given the stage layouts we've seen, both pits and the Golden Circle seem more like a cash grab opportunity to me that also allows for a better controlled admission procedure. Former front of house manager speaking here. Stage setups like these are a nightmare for any venue and the front of house staff demand to ensure an even spread of people around the stage with regards to safety protocols is absolutely insane.

So it'll be what about 24 songs including interludes?

It's gonna be hard to decide what to include and not given she's got so many 'greatest hits' - less so in the 10's and 20's - bulk in the 80's.

Not less in the 10's and 20's if she pulls from all Billboard charts, 50#1's (with multiple entries with b-sides, etc) on the dance chart alone.

General public won't know about those lol

Hope this news get M´s eyes and make her wanna beat Elton´s record. So she will HAVE to come to South America and also go to Asia and Australia too. Humpf!

The 2024 LA January dates are almost a confirmation that Latinamerica is next… Idon’t think she’ll come back from Christmas vacations just to do two shows… Mexico would be next on this scenario (IMHO).

Speaking of Hot Mess Express...lol...just kidding. Saw him once...boring af. Maybe he was good when he was on drugs lol what did he call M once? Anyway, no need to dig up old stories...good for him. Part of me wants another M and Elton feud. I'm sure it would drive him mad if she out scored him

Still are hits.  

[acolyte 121]

I'm excited to see whatever she has in store for us. But the one and only thing I find myself begging for is "Nothing Really Matters" and "The Power of Good-Bye".  The latter recently received some attention with the Vanity Fair short film, but "Nothing Really Matters" has been neglected since its Grammy performance in 1999. It hasn't even appeared on any compilation until last year's Finally Enough Love. I could really see this working next to or around "Holiday" for some reason...

Technically yes- but on one chart a club play chart - that isn't really mainstream - in any case it'll be interesting to see how she balances the set list!

Neither was Love Don't Live Here Anymore and she chose that. For that split second -- I died. Jimmy Fallon said it the best. You never know with M. Just when you think it'll go one way, she moves in a totally different direction. She's the "alpha; the omega; the first and the last. The beginning. And the end."

Rebel Heart Tour wasn’t a greatest hits tour though. This has been advertised as a greatest hits tour so if she comes out performing the Tracy Young remix of Nothing Fails there will be some confusion in the audience.

lol could you imagine lol

[jtrover 243]

I think this tour, there's going to have be a bunch of medleys, or at least shortened songs. 

I think that's a pretty obvious given. 

And they will mostly be 90% all songs the general public knows, and probably a couple gems for the die-hards.

 

I just wonder how thematically orientated this tour will be. We all know previously she chooses songs based on the segment or theme. Will this be more focused on spectacle this time around rather than particular themes? 

We shall see!  

[Ricardo González Anaya 59]

I wonder if she’ll announce more dates this week (new cities/countries I mean)

Hahah. Ya true. I hope she keeps a surprise for us. Like when she performed "You Thrill Me" during Confessions. Brilliant. 

[Sheridan1980 409]

I hope she will do a lot of surprises. I don't care about the general public 🤪

[Blue Jean 7,258]

I kind of hope she surprises the hardcore fans and does Gambler

I think she would find it very hard to perform just the big hits in their original versions. Of course there should be a good chunk of that but hopefully there’s some surprises in the mix too. Some rarely performed songs plus some new interpretations of the classics.

333 shows at the moment...

[sara94 433]

How is that allowed? a "farewell" tour thats going on for 5 Years?! Soon every Artist will do the same just to make their tours look more successful. 

I just know if Madonna did this, she'd be mocked rn.
