So many main floor seats suddenly available, currently $570. More keep getting added - just now as I was looking the 2 seats directly in front of the main catwalk just became available for 570. Now I'm depressed lol. I wouldve taken first row for 570. But I got lower bowl first row on aisle directly where she does OYH. $350 but I was thinking probably 800 today so I'm happy.

Nippi 1,316 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 OMG you guys I'm freaking out. I've been to so few concerts and the prices look like I might be able to afford a seat. I've been a Madonna super fan for like 10+ years now. Is vividseats legitimate? And had Madonna been running late (by at least 30 minutes to an hour) almost every show? I have something I can't miss but if she runs late as I've heard it would be perfect for me. Any advice from you more experienced concert goers would be appreciated! I may bite the bullet tonight and go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winn 2,384 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 She never sells well in Dettoit. It's been like this for at least 10 years. For MDNA there were floor seats for 114 bucks. I was broke and had to take nosebleeds. Regretted it badly. Madame X spoiled me I got to see her close now. Damn woman owns me lol Homogenic79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far in North America, the earliest she’s started is 9:50 (once) and the latest 10:50 (once). Most nights she’s started 10:20. Yes vivid seats is legit (like stubhub) but just watch for total price after their fees - sometimes cheaper in the end with Ticketmaster. Fingers crossed for you!

FraP 471 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I've read your comments about her voice and want to share my thoughts, aware that it might upset many of you. I want to start by saying that I had fun at the tour and went to see several shows, but we have to be objective Anyone with a basic understanding of singing can see that Madonna has seriously neglected her vocal care. She's had her moments of good or excellent performances in the past... the last good one being the Prince tribute. Presently, I believe her vocal quality right now is at its all-time worst. Since 2018, she's been pretty bad live. Her current and last tour? It's all autotune and heavy backing vocals making her sound okay. But really, her real voice is not great. Some moments are okay (I Will Survive sometimes sounded good, sometimes just decent). And when she sounds good in other performances, it's usually the backing vocals doing the heavy lifting. If notice her real voice she sounds decent at best. Bad Girl sound okay, but how would it sound with just her voice alone? I bet not so good. Let's face it, finding singers as off-key as Madonna is a rarity these days. She's often out of tempo, can't control her voice, and has lost her musical edge. It’s just a fact. I’m not saying she can't pull off a decent performance with some prep for it, even with no formal training. And if she got back to a vocal training road, she would surely get better. 37 minutes ago, Lorx said: Check out this one too Her voice is always stronger at the beginning of a tour Watching this video, I wonder: could she possibly sing Frozen like this today, sans backing vocals or autotune? It seems nearly impossible. If she attempted it, the audience would probably bail, ears ringing. Anyway, this is a really good performance.

Winn 2,384 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's the restaurants attached to arena, not inside bc that doesn't open until 7:30. I thought it was weird too bc tickets are on phone. I didn't stick around to ask. I'm not surrendering keys and phone. I'll wait in car until 730. @Homogenic79 Homogenic79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd already been to the first LA show but won pit tix through MTV somehow. This tour was incredible. The Beast Within intro was so intense graphically and sonically. I think she could've sent everyone home after "Vogue" and nobody would've complained ;) Lorx and True Blue 84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nippi 1,316 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Well, my hope for a ticket is drying up. Didn't realize a lot of the really cheap tickets are an obstructed view. Sigh. Hoping she'll do another US leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymad 10,817 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 36 minutes ago, MDNA22 said: Always - never understand why they always film for the official recording usually at the end of the tour I think it's mostly due to the flow and comfortability of the performers, making it a tighter and cleaner production that would look better visually. Unfortunately by the time they do tend to film the shows, M's voice is a bit tired and it shows. But she seems to be doing okay so far, would have loved the Toronto show - that show was TIGHT. Plus in the beginning of this tour up to the US leg specifically, it was riddled with sound issues. MDNA22, True Blue 84 and FraP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
