    If Madonna is your thing then this is a great post. So thanks OP :)

    Agreed!!!
    I have heard that Madonna only lets younger people in the front rows, as she does not like seeing 30-40 year olds dancing, it puts here off and makes her feel old, what a cheek.

    No truth in that. I am 41 and have front block tickets, your age is not asked when you book.
    How did you manage to get front block tickets?

    I am a member of the fan club so I was given a pre-sale code which was active from 09:00am Tuesday morning. Therefore fan club members have been able to buy tickets for 3 days before they go on general sale.

    I wonder how many will be bought to resell on eBay? Could be a case of burned fingers for the touts this time.
    I'm eating my words!
    They're going for massive markups to apparently genuine bidders. Clearly some of the fan club members are selling out at a big profit.
    If you've paid £500+ for a Madonna ticket remember to at least buy a Big Issue at the station :)
    Can I help?

    Some 'ticket touts' joined the fan club before the cut off date JUST to get tickets to resell, its as simple as that.

    No doubt they'll all snap them up Friday @ 9am too.
    Half tempted to get a couple to sell myself??

    I'd be carefull, on the last tour (2 years ago) so many tickets were bought to sell on Ebay that they ended up going for less than face value. I ended up buying a £150 ticket for £78 off Ebay a week before the concert!

    Not sure it will sell out... but Im probably wrong. It will sell out to touts.

    Well https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk are already selling them.

    £160 is stupidly expensive, but then there's a £13 service charge on each ticket!!!

    I was in the queue before 9AM.. offered me tickets waaaaaaaay from the front for £160. I doubt it's worth it to be honest.
