Quite tempted to try for tickets, talked up the idea of going to the last night on the 2nd. Plus London would be much handier.

This really does feel like it's going to be the first entry into the '20s pantheon of gay-interest-females-with-career-killing-second-albums-beloved-by-the-gays genre. I am 100% here for it *.*

I'm really enjoying the visuals, nothing new in terms of themes covered or visual style, but that works quite well given the retrospective mode she's currently in.

I was coming in to say largely the same thing. I think the concept is a sound one, but the execution (such as it seemed to be going) was unlikely to produce a result in keeping with her legacy. I think a TV series would have been a better idea, albeit less buzzy/less financially rewarding.

Definitely going to try for Dublin tickets, have wanted to see Delta for years.

I saw Madonna in Amsterdam on the Rebel Heart Tour as well (will be 8 years between shows) but I also really like the idea of it being the last show of the tour - assuming she doesn’t add any more.

So London once again madness, between us we had 7 devices going from 9.30 and the highest we were in the queue was 44,000. Ended up going for the second Amsterdam date and got lower tier seats (section 109) near the front, for much cheaper than London so counting that as a win.

Just as long as we get THE LAUGH

Sunday would be good as there’s no presale for those tickets either!

I’m always slightly limited as Belfast has such limited routes and Dublin is 2.5 hours away (plus costs). I did have decent seats for Amsterdam on Amex presale but decided to wait for London. Not making great choices all round with this!

I’m sorely tempted to just get tickets for a European date, flights are more expensive but at least I might actually GET tickets.

Only 23,000 people ahead of me in the Live Nation presale *.*

Came argue with that winner - overall an amazing set of songs (perhaps not unexpected given the nature of the contest). Thank you to everyone who voted for Anna, I deliberately didn’t go cheap (first time for everything!), but it was my top non-BJSC song of the year so had to share it.

The Weeknd for the win, his best song and would be a fab winner

Dagny and Anna should be much higher (as should Bianca & Clara)

Well, I did manage to secure one £223 ticket, but needed 2 so let it go. Always tomorrow. And Friday. And other dates.

She has to pay the mortgage somehow!!

I really want to hear Hung Up done properly, ABBA sample and everything. I *think* that's a reasonable ask, even for 2023 Madonna.

I’ve had almost the exact same conversation (he has no interest in coming so had to barter to get £150)

Ticketmaster.com have tickets from $70 (albeit for seats in the gods) and $140 for decent seats.

I’m going - I just don’t know to which venue. Annoying Amex presale doesn’t apply to the UK dates! Getting tickets for the O2 is going to be HELL, I know they’re all but certain to add more dates (I’ve seen 4 touted…) but still.

We have also confirmed

I have absolutely nothing. Time to trawl the pop bargain bins.

I am feeling particularly exposed in this thread as some of the comments perfectly describe Leony, Nova Miller and LOVA. After my 2/3 years most successful years in the contest I don’t really think I’m any the wiser on the specifics of what makes a winner (or a smash), I can just as easily pass them over (the other Lovesick this month for example), but for me most of the time you know it when you hear it. Which sounds really obvious, but that’s what happened with ALMA a few months back. First listen and I knew it was a smash.
