    Same thing happened with the Brooklyn shows.  I could be wrong but it seemed like many "resell tickets" near the front stage became "standard" tickets a day or two before the show date.  It wouldn't surprise me if Ticketmaster was the original reseller.

    I'm sure you saw here but she went on at 10:20pm last night.  Maybe be in your seats by 10pm on Sat to be safe?
    Also, Ticketmaster just opened up a slew of tix in the front section for Sat.  Even though "standard pricing" is still a small fortune, it's better than being forced to buy a VIP package for the same seats.
     
    Have fun!

    Writing my little review, as I was there at the show last night.  
    This was my first time seeing Madonna after my planned date for Madame X got cancelled and what a show. It was a dream come true. After a rough 2023 for me, when she came on stage at 22:05 (pretty much what I expected) singing Nothing Really Matters I bursted into tears. I couldn’t control it but after the first few minutes I managed to « keep it together ».
    I was really impressed by her energy. Her moves were on point and she was in a very good mood (she tried to speak French a few times and was humble, very down to earth). And so was the crowd, who reacted really well to Hung Up (probably the highlight, everybody was so into it), Bad Girl (I was surprised to see so many people sing along), Vogue, Don’t Tell Me, Mother and Father (surprisingly as well), I Will Survive (especially when she sang in French), La Isla Bonita and the Like a Virgin/Billie Jean interlude. Her vocals were also really great. From what I could hear she seemed to be singing everything live besides Justify My Love, most of Erotica and the choruses of Everybody. The rest was sung beautifully and blended really great with the backing track when there was one. Her voice seemed in really good shape.
    I was seated in Carré Or, close to the end of the catwalk, so I had a very nice view of the whole stage most of the time. I really appreciated how the screens were an important part of the performances at times. Justify My Love and Die Another Day really reflected this. The lighting effects, especially the lasers, were also amazing, Erotica, Ray of Light and once again Die Another Day being the highlights there. The staging during Like a Prayer was really well done too.
    There were very few fuck ups, which actually made some cute unique moments. During Nothing Really Matters, she sang "I was the only one" way too early, and then realized when she sang the next line and stopped midway through. During Open Your Heart, the lady dancer kinda lost her balance while doing the backflip on the male dancer while on the chair, though she didn’t fall and quickly recovered. On Don’t Tell Me at the end of the song she started to sing while she was supposed to stop at that point (well don’t tell her to stop). She then realized, stopped, and smiled at the audience and then mouthed something at them, laughing.
    As for the setlist I found it really great overall. The crowd didn’t seem into the beginning of the sex section though, where the mood kinda went down, probably due to the two songs not being danceable/singable enough. The Beast Within and Bedtime Story also didn’t really seem to leave an impression on the crowd, though the staging and theatrics from my point of view were actually quite good from my seat. The ending to be honest though was quite abrupt and it feels like the crowd expected one more song. The only song I really missed was Music, which from what I read was planned in a section that was later removed after she was hospitalized. I also feel like Frozen would have had more of an effect on people than Rain, though she looked beautiful during the performance. The only thing that bothered me, though that might be due to where I was seated, is that the bass was really loud. It made the speech before Holiday pretty much inaudible, and I felt like the room was about to explode at the beginning of Erotica. But that might be just me being sensitive. Also I expected Stuart Price to open the show, but he didn’t so that was a bummer, though I can’t blame anyone for that.
    So AS A SUMMARY, that was an excellent show. I so wish I could be able to go a second time. I had an amazing time and now feel so weird that the show is over. I keep watching videos of the show over and over again and I just can’t stop. It makes me wanna go on a Madonna marathon all over again, which I will probably do. I would definitely recommend to everyone to watch this show in person!

    This photo was used as the Irish-only 7″ pressing that is considered among her fans to be the Holy Grail of the iconic singer’s back catalogue. The release is almost identical to the 12″ version in every way, right down to having the same B-side track, I Know It.

    The video also looks to be at Madonna's Hampton's house.  I doubt Riccardo would go all the way out there if Madonna wasn't there.  Hopefully another good sign
