Ticketmaster sets the price of tickets, not Madonna.

Editor's note: Really? Do you think that even if they did set the tickets, they don't conspire (work with) Madonna and her people to optimize profits? If Ticketmaster said tickets were $5; Madonna would surely stop them. It probably works the opposite way, too.

Madonna rules! She is still the Queen of pop & dance. Her new album is excellent. The Confessions tour was awesome. I am proud to have paid almost $400 for a ticket to see her in San Jose this past May. I would do it again. And I am glad she is showing her tour for free on NBC. Now I do not have to buy a dvd of it. I get a chance to enjoy the show again. And she has a great chance to make some new fans. Love you Madonna!

Seeing Madonna live on T.V. pales in comparison to seeing her live in person. Madonna's latest outing isn't just about seeing her performing on stage, it,s an experience. I saw the show three times and I can tell you it still wasn't enough for me. To say that because her show is so heavily choreographed that you deem it "not live and spontaneous", Madonna's shows have always been that way and should come as no surprise to you. She pioneered the market on live concert spectacle and every other artist since has tried to emulate it but falls WAY short. If you think the money you spent on a ticket was a waste because you can see the show on T.V. you shouldn't have gone in the first place. It's simple not just about seeing the show it's about witnessing live in person the ecstasy-like thrill that is Madonna.

To anyone who thinks Madonna doesn't have any control on her ticket prices, I am here to tell you for sure (with personal experience) that this is absolutely untrue. Madonna has MUCH control over this issue. There are many many other artists out there that could match her prices, but choose not to in order to make it easier for their fans to enjoy their music without selling their first born for a ticket!

Okay..So I have always wanted to see a Madonna Concert..Unfortunately Daily Live Struggles Doesn't allow me to spend so much for a Concert...So having her show on T.V. is going to be a Major Thrill For Me. How Can One Not Love the Woman That Reinvents herself?

Seeing Madonna live is an amazing exeprience. $350 for tickets to see her in concert is not expensive. Madonna is the greatest live performer. The reason her tickets may cost more than other artists is because her shows are more expensive to stage. Everything from the costumes, to lighting, to hair and makeup is top notch. She only works with the best.

anyone that spends hundreds of dollars to see anyone live geys what they deserve
and anyone that hase ever heard Madonna perform live on tv and STILL spends the money on the tix REALLY gets what they deserve

That being said ay least when nbc airs it you will actualy see her (unlike most that spent so much money)
I wanted to see Pet Shop Boys at Radio City Music Hall,it even falls on my birthday,the tickets being offered online have been anywhere from 40 bucks (sold out with in seconds) to 500+ A Piece
I worship them but i would never spend that much to see anyone

Does anybody know where to buy full VIP packages for the upcoming tour, and how much such a package would be including front row tickets? I've got a home on Maui that I'd be willing to trade out for the days I'd have to leave to see Madge.
