Citing the usual “overwhelming” demand, Madonna’s management has added several new shows to the pop icon’s Celebration Tour in 2023, running second, third, or more shows in several cities. The tour saw tickets on sale for many venues this week. with more to come next week.
Initially announced as a 35-city run through North America and Europe, Madonna added a total of 13 new dates to the tour, all taking place in cities that already had a show scheduled. Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas all saw second performances added, while New York had a third show added at Madison Square Garden.
As is so often the case, fans who jumped early to purchase tickets for Madonna’s shows were greeted with aggressively high ticket pricing, and vented their frustrations online. One screenshot from an AXS “premium” (dynamic/surge/priced) page showed floor seats ranging as high as £1,054 from the box office, with other similar reports coming in from others at other venues.

Just spent a ridiculous amount of money to get tickets for London. No VIP, no special packages, nothing! Just seats! I love her Madgesty, but I’m appalled at the prices! And before you all start, yes I know I had a choice! #madonna #TheCelebrationTour pic.twitter.com/kECObakQMd

With demand surged (or at least implied to be surged by the prices and addition of new shows, though held-back tickets are a strong possibility), resale prices are also high at the moment. Ticket Club shows Madonna Celebration Tour tickets going for a minimum of $255 asking price for the August 26 Madison Square Garden show, for example, and similarly high $233 minimum for the July 22 show at Footprint Center in Arizona. Those prices are downright reasonable compared to the same show’s “official platinum” offerings of dynamic priced tickets – which range from a minimum of $401.80 all the way up to over $4,000 for seats in the sixth row near the stage.
