IF this show were to take place at the club, the furor over presales and sales for it, could eclipse Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys and Justin Timberlake, System of a Down combined.
Hopefully the "smaller" venues wont include Nation as this would a great suprise at the club show.
Madonna to hit the clubs? (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1524743/20060222/madonna.jhtml?headlines=true)
Madonna To Hit Small Venues For 'Intimate' Confessions Tour
02.23.2006 6:00 AM EST
'I would like to put her as close to her fans as possible,' tour director says.
Madonna
Madonna plans to hit the clubs for her upcoming summer tour, because according to her tour director, it wouldn't be the disco queen's kind of dance floor if it wasn't a bit confessional too.
"A typical Madonna show is quite produced," said
"Listen, I love old Madonna songs â?? I don't know one person who doesn't. But we want to focus mainly on this album." â?? Tour director Jamie King
Madonna: The Inventress
Jamie King, who has been the creative director for Madonna's last two tours. "She likes things large, she likes things theatrical, but this time, being that [Confessions on a Dance Floor] is an intimate album, we want to try to make people have an intimate experience as well as a big produced theatrical experience. So look for us doing some small venues, some smaller venues."
To achieve that intimacy, Madonna will have to be able to get close to everyone, so the tour is also going to be more interactive. "I would like to put her as close to her people â?? her fans, her dancers, her fellow supporters â?? as possible," King said.
While that effect was achieved via the pit and the catwalk on her Reinvention Tour, don't expect Madonna to merely reinvent that tour and trot out all the hits. The set list has been confirmed, King said, and it's definitely Confessions-heavy, with "some familiar faces" popping up from the past two dance-themed videos, "Hung Up" and "Sorry." That said, there will be a few yet-to-be-revealed fan favorites on the set list as well.
"Listen, I love old Madonna songs â?? I don't know one person who doesn't," King said. "But we want to focus mainly on this album. I think people love it and they want to hear it, so expect a lot of the songs from Confessions on a Dance Floor."
Tour dates have yet to be announced, but rehearsals begin March 1.

Mr. King has never, ever met the Dupek. This is certain.

I wonder if I could finance a trip to Chicago with the earnings from scalping Madonna tickets?

I was just in Madonna this morning. Madonna, Maryland.

Why don't we all buy tickets, sell them for a few grand each, and then plan a forum trip to Reading? Or Lollapalooza?
-
I was just in Madonna, and she was loving it.

or just go to the show and cut loose!

Hmmmm...10 bucks says she'll play for an hour, do the entire new record plus 2 songs not from the 80's (1 from Erotica, 1 from Ray of Light), then leave with no encore. Not worth it in my book. I can totally see her doing that.
-
you are probably right still doesn't mean one has to profit at other expense... oh wait....
-
I would never do that (as anyone from my previous posts knows)...but boy, this would be one occasion where it's tempting. Madonna fans will spend a shitload of money to see her.
