80,000 Madonna tickets sold out in 5 minutes

 

Some 80,000 tickets for Madonna's concerts in Tokyo and Osaka went on sale on Sunday and were sold out in five minutes, promoters said Monday. This tour will be the 47-year-old singer's first in 13 years in Japan, and her fans were waiting in line or calling up the ticket agency well in advance of the 10 a.m. start of sales. The most expensive seats sold for 50,000 yen.

In order to meet the demand, an additional concert will now be held in Tokyo on Sept 21 at Tokyo Dome, following the already sold out concert on Sept 16 in Osaka and Sept 20 in Tokyo. Ticket reservations for the extra concert will start on July 11 and go on sale July 15. For more details, contact Kyodo Tokyo (0180-993-999) or Ticket Pia (0570-029-111).

Madonna to move Moscow concert

 

Madonna may be forced to move her long anticipated first concert in Russia to an airfield after police concerns about over-crowding.

The American(isnt she english) pop star is due to play in a square near the university in the centre of Moscow.

The square has a capacity of 35,000, however police fear as many as 250,000 people may flock to the event.

The Tushino airfield may be used instead as a venue, however the airfield has a sad history as a concert venue after Chechen rebels killed 15 concert goers there three years ago.
