Madonna Sells One Million Tickets for World Tour

Contributed By: Joanna Ester Created On: Friday, 27 June 2008 Hits: 106 Madonna Over one million tickets have already been sold for Madonna’s forthcoming world jaunt to support the release of her ‘Hard Candy’ album. The ‘Sticky & Sweet’ tour kicks off in August in Europe, and has already sold 90% of available tickets across the world. The news comes amid recent newspaper reports which hinted that tickets may not be selling well, reporting that her Los Angeles stop at Dodger Stadium has only sold 50% of the seats so far. The singer will kick off the North American dates with a show on October 4 in East Rutherford, NJ, followed by four nights at Madison Square Garden. The tour will support the release of the April-release ‘Hard Candy’ which debuted at Number One in over 30 countries worldwide. Madonna was the first musician to sign to Live Nation's new all-encompassing contract, which means that the concert promoter now controls her business and material assets. US rapper Jay-Z recently joined the Live Nation stable, hoping to expand his business empire under the company's guidance.
