Well that was surprisingly easy. Got row K of the grand circle (on a central aisle) for £125, was the highest we were willing to go!

I tried a few times and got offer a better ticket every time, better one top price row J stalls on the side! Sorry not good enough!
I Didn't realize you can select the price range either!... seems like it's pretty easy or maybe they haven't "verified" that many fans.... anyway, I still 'don't know what to do"

I’m so terribly confused - last thing I said to the other half was ‘maybe go up to the £200 per ticket’ (it’s HIS credit card after all) only to to awoken to screenshots of him having spent £1800 on 4 tickets!!! I mean WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD!?!!
What makes this hideousness worse is he didn’t look at theatre monkey and 2 of the tickets (priced over a grand between them) are in the RED zone!!!!
EDIT - phewsers, he was just illustrating the cost of seats and hadn’t actually bought them!!!

I got 2 tickets on the back row v. easily. I can't say i'm, the biggest Madonna fan, but my best friend is and he was very happy. Kinda hoping she does something from Evita so i'll know at least 1 of the songs.... She's in an ALW theatre so maybe she'll do a little something as a nod to him?

I’m the stalls, row F. I am a huge Madonna fan and between tours I save (on and off) for the next one anyway. I had planned to see her next tour twice and as her top end last time was £210, I figured they’d be roughly the same.
So instead of going twice I’m going once, and whilst I think it’s insanely expensive I do so without a second thought on the cost. You have to treat yourself in life, right?

Whatever the show turns out to be, it will be spectacular and an event. But the last tour in Manchester I paid to get into the presale and then paid top price for seats on the first tier that looked great in theory, but turned out to be right next to the curtain that cuts off the back of the stage. Then she performed much of the show on the heart stage in the middle of the floor so she had her back to us. Then to add insult to injury, it started over an hour late and had to finish early to meet the curfew set by Manchester Council. So we didn’t even get to see the final third of the show. At that point i started to wonder if it was really worth it. My BFF who I’ve been going to her shows with for years has a visual impairment. If we’re not right at the front, or able to see very large screens it’s just pointless. But £500 for front stalls? Just no. |

The ticket price was always going to be high but £125 and lower is fairly reasonable for an artist of her standing in a much smaller venue than she'd usually play.

I agree, that Manchester show left a bit of a nasty taste, not least the way she told off the crowd for booing as she got later and later. Real aggression there. Then cutting the show short as a result was the final straw. Thankfully though I’d also got Birmingham booked for two days after and that was epic. |

If we’re not right at the front, or able to see very large screens it’s just pointless. But £500 for front stalls? Just no. Her behaviour on the last tour frankly, was not acceptable. There were no excuses. I was very fortunate to see her in London where she was on stage spot on 9pm and did the entire show - including songs she had cut during the US run - and as it was World AIDS Day we had a bonus performance of LAP added in too. So personally I couldn’t complain, but she was shocking elsewhere. I believe some performances in the US she wasn’t coming on stage until 10.30pm, and in Edinburgh I believe the venue just turned off her electricity and put the house lights up: there are videos of her doing Holiday on her own, lights up, no microphone and just getting on with it anyway. I did get caught out by her years ago at Wembley stadium - she started late so we got out late and the tube station closed at its usual time: leaving tens of thousands of us stranded. But there is no excuses for tardiness when you literally have thousands of people waiting for you, be it £10 or £1000 a ticket. All I can say is she’s in a shock if she thinks she can pull that in a theatre. I suspect it’ll be bad enough with hecklers, never mind those that will tell her off for being late. |

She has been appalling in the past in terms of tardiness, but she admitted in the Graham Norton Show that she gets bored with her shows when touring, and she only enjoys doing the first few, after that she just goes through the motions. Not a very nice thing to say to fans who pay lots of money to see her.
Anyway I'm not sure how well the Palladium shows were selling yesterday but it was quite easy to get access. After checking the prices however I decided to give it a miss.

Think she always loved to see herself as some kind of rebel diva with attitude and the years have not withered her vociferous,challenging,flirtatious,controversial,irritating and news-worthy image.Her early years of fame were built on shock-value with songs such as ‘Like A Virgin’,her soft-porn book and her use of religious imagery being very provocative at the time.She was always the centre of attention because she pushed the boundaries to breaking point.Some of her pop songs will love forever as classics of the genre.Myself and my wife have seen every tour she has done in the UK, but tickets have become much more easy to access over the years.On the last tour,she came on stage late and shouted ‘How you doin’,you motherf*****s’.....charming!
Think the Palladium will suit her as she was always about imagery and visuals and being theatrical often in a very precious and arty-farty way.Up close and personal will be amazing,I reckon.She is one of the few true world icons/legends alive imo.Those who know her or have worked with her have variously described her as everything from being prickly,high-maintenance and relentlessly inventive to being demanding and impossible to please.She is a creative force-of-nature and always tries to keep herself relevant with hook-ups with young and hip artistes.Desperate or in-tune? You decide!
Reading back this post to myself,I realise how much I love her work and admire her ideals and beliefs,whilst also being incredibly frustrated at her over the years for things she has done and said.A true enigma!
Remember seeing her at Wembley Arena many eons ago and after a lot of stress in trying to get sold-out tickets managed to get a pair at the very last minute and was told to pick them up at the venue.The tickets had been returned from an agency.After waiting nearly two hours,a gentleman rang me and said ‘I’ll meet you behind the hot dog 🌭 van near Door 3’, and sure enough a furtive Arthur Daley-type rolled up, tapped me on the shoulder, told us we had been up-graded to near front-row seats and then disappeared after money changed hands.Del boy would have been proud!

More dates added. Let's try and find those elusive cheapies again... Prepare your bank accounts.
"Due to overwhelming demand, and to accommodate as many registered Verified Fan code holders as possible, an additional 3 dates have been added to Madonna’s Madame X shows at The London Palladium, on 12, 13 and 15 February 2020."

A friend bought some VIP 2 tickets. I was stunned at what they cost but considering he doesn't really spend much on anything else, like holidays, clothes, tech, I am thrilled that he gets to see someone he has followed from the beginning, so up close.
I think the tickets included a VIP tour of The Palladium, but considering he used to work that's not much more of an incentive.
I haven't been to a Madonna concert since The Girlie Show, which was fantastic.

My pal was speculating as to whether people would be allowed to stand up, or if its being handled as a theatrical performance with the usual ‘formalities’.
