Madonna concert - 5000 more tickets go on sale

The organisers of the Madonna show have decided to allocate 5000 additional tickets which will be released on general sale May 19. Reportedly, the demand for the precious tickets has been so great that a decision was made to release a further batch. There has been no comment from the organisers whether the increase of capacity will bear on the safety of the people who are in the pit.

Tickets can now be purchased nationwide from Ticketpro or online, at www.ticketpro.com

When Madonna first announced at the beginning of May that she will perform in Sofia, the news became a complete sensation.

Madonna's first ever concert in Bulgaria will be on Saturday August 29 2009 in Sofia at 8pm at Vassil Levski National Stadium. The concert, one of the entertainment highlights of the year, is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans not just from Bulgaria but from all over South East Europe, proving a stiff test for Bulgarian police.

The most expensive tickets, for those seeking to stay inside the Golden Circle just metres from Madonna, will cost 200 leva. People willing to stand in front of the stage will pay 150 leva.

The cheapest tickets, in the pit, cost 100 leva. Seat prices will vary between 110, 135 and 165 leva depending on location.

Madonna's concert in Bulgaria is part of her Sticky & Sweet Tour in Europe. She will reportedly arrive with a crew of 250 people, and enough equipment to make her concert the biggest show Bulgarian fans have ever seen.

I wouldn't go to a nickelback concert for 100 happy meals. I wouldn't eat the happy meals either. As for Madonna, compared to UK prices, those prices are cheap. A crew of 250 people, as befits here Royal Highness, , don't come cheap. Still, its about 3 times what I would pay to see the old has-been.

umm, what? the prices for the Madonna tickets here are so cheap compared to the USA. You can't get a ticket for a Madonna concert for less than $100.

wow, these tickets are very expensive! its almost like to a cirque du soleil in europe. But not even comparable. In the USA tickes are only between $~15-~$50 approximately.

Talk about stiffing the citizens and youth in Bulgaria. For some or most, this is a good chunk of their salary. This is a wow price!

i guess these events are only once a year. In USA, like for example, a NICKELBACK concert ticket, i.e., could be obtained free when buying happy meals, soda's, sandwiches and etc. This is the beauty of America! [...]
