Fans Upset Over Affordability of Madonna Concert Tickets
Wednesday, 08 February 2012

After stunning a worldwide audience at last Sunday's Super Bowl, pop superstar Madonna has confirmed she will embark on a world tour this Summer, supporting new studio album 'MDNA'. Question is, with ticket prices for her Hyde Park show ranging from £70.00 to £125.00, will fans be able to afford to see her?
As part of the tour, Madonna will play three massive shows in the UK and Ireland performing at London's Hyde Park on Tuesday 17th July, followed by a Scottish show at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday 21st July. Madonna will then head over to Ireland for a show at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Tuesday 24th July.
With tickets for the tour going onsale from 9am on Friday 10th February, many fans have criticised the tour on social networking sites over the expensive price of tickets. Madonna recently told fans they should start saving-up to see her, with tickets for her London show receiving a £70.00-£125.00 price-tag, and Edinburgh tickets starting off at £45 for top tier sears. The Queen of pop told Newsweek: "Start saving your pennies now. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it."
It is expected that Madonna will earn approximately £5million for just her UK shows this Summer, however, the singer claims she has to tour to “pay the bills” - that must be one hell of a bill!
