May 8, 200817 yr hi i live in england does any one no any numbers you can ring to get hold of the tickets on friday 16th
May 8, 200817 yr ^^ Not too sure just yet but i'm assuming your gonna have to call ticketmaster hotlines but check out Madonna's fansites for more info. I'm most likely gonna go to Cardiff cos i've seen her 3 times in London now! Ticket prices still expensive considering its a stadium show! I guess we're paying for the best though :) I still wish she adds a few UK arenas, they're more intimate!!
May 8, 200817 yr yeah i no wat you mean gotta work friday and can't get out of it so gonna have to do it on the phone so hope i get then still worth going to see no matter how much it cost lol
May 8, 200817 yr The full schedule isn't complete and i'm sure she'll add a few more dates on for the UK. I imagine these will be perhaps smaller venues like arenas. I doubt she'd play in Scotland, just seems like London and Wales really.
May 9, 200817 yr Author Thanks Kimmy, i just merged your topic with my kinda old one so everyone knows where to go.
May 9, 200817 yr I would love to go, but thats way to much!!!! Even though I went to the Confessions, It still has left a nasty hole in my wallet. Do you think it will be released on DVD or something?
