I'm going to the venue in Philadelphia. I'm going with my Aunt Lorie and my cousin Sadie! We are in section 108. Our tickets each were $180. Very good deal, considering other tickets in those sections, in other cities were charging $300+.

Initial ticket sales for Madonnna's upcoming Confessions tour have been predictably huge, with shows added in several cities and virtually all dates selling out.

Tour producer Arthur Fogel, president of TNA International, tells Billboard.com there has clearly been no resistance to ticket prices that range from $50 to $350. "What you have is a recognition that she creates and delivers a spectacular show every time she goes on the road," says Fogel. "And this tour will be no different."
With a gross potential in the $200 million range, Confessions could be the top-grossing tour ever for a female artist. In 2004, Madonna's Re-Invention tour grossed $125 million and drew more than 900,000 fans to 56 shows.
Madonna broke U2's record of the fastest selling shows in Montreal yesterday. The first show sold out in 22 minutes and the second show sold out in 18 minutes for the second one - meaning she sold 30,000 tickets in less than 40 minutes!
