According to a press release, ‘The Celebration Tour’ will take fans on Madonna’s artistic journey through four decades and pay homage to the city of New York where her career in music began.
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” Madonna said of the upcoming trek in a statement.
Following the general sale, fans have taken to social media to share their reactions as they attempted to get tickets. “Trying to secure Madonna tickets feels like an Olympic sport,” said one fan while another said: “It’s the most expensive ticket I have ever paid for a concert – EVER. But it’s a once in a lifetime gig, right?”
Bob The Drag Queen (aka Caldwell Tidicue) is billed as a special guest opening act across all dates. In total, 15 extra shows have been added to the original 35-date run.
