Madonna is Coming to Buenos Aires

August 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Subscribe to our RSS Feed

That’s right, Madonna is bringing her Sticky & Sweet tour to Buenos Aires on December 6, and it’s been a big deal.  There are actually three different on sale dates:

August 27 - 29: for members of her fan club
September 6 - 7: for CITI customers
September 8: for everyone else

Ticketek also has a special pre-registration web page.  While it does not guarantee tickets, they claim it will speed up the ticket buying process on September 8.

Ok, so I hate her new album, but I have a special place in my heart for her. I still remember asking the girls in my 8th grade class to cut out pictures of her from their Tiger Beat magazines for me. Plus, you can’t deny that her songs are classics. And, I’ve never actually seen her live before. And, when you compare ticket prices in Buenos Aires to ticket prices in New York it’s a good deal (all in U.S. dollars):

Buenos Aires - River Plate
Campo VIP / Palta Preferencial: $210
Paltea Baja: $160
Platea Alta: $60
Campo: $72
General: $32

vs.

New York - Madison Square Garden
Floor Seating: $354.50
Promenade Seating (Level 100-200): $64.50 - $354.50
Loge Level Seating: $64.50 - $354.50
Promenade Level 300 Seating: $64.50 - $99.50
Mezzanine Level Seating: $64.50

And, the highest prices in BsAs gaurantee you’ll get the best seats up front - at MSG, you’ll still be two levels up! Plus, you’d have to pay crazy scalper prices to get good floor seats.

Oh yeah, and Mersal really wants to go too.

So, for all those reasons (not that I have to justify anything), I’ve pre-registered and I’ve added September 8 to my calendar to try and get tickets…  We’ll let you know how it goes.

    Awesome that you guys are making a lifestyle change. Em and I talk about that all the time. MI is no NY, but nonetheless it’s something we’ve been trying to change as well. Richie Rich sent me your blog.

    I’ve always held a place for Madonna as well, but most definitely her younger self. She kind of lost me after Ray of Light (awesome), but her earlier stuff is still music I enjoy. Guilty indulgence I suppose, but I really like songs like Pretender, Crazy for You, Lucky Star and not to mention Get Into The Groove which still would get me on the dancefloor.

    Anyway happy to keep up with this blog and hear about your grand adventures.

    Roberto - Good to hear from you. We’re glad we made the change too. You guys should do it- what’s the worst that can happen? You move back?

    Glad to hear of a fellow closet Madonna fan. I have to say I really liked her last album, Confessions on a Dance Floor. I thought it was very well put together. Her latest, Hard Candy, is nothing but pop trash.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    I love how you add in one single sentence about how Mersal wants to go too - as if to justify why the pricing is so good in BsAs. ;)

    I don’t know if I would pay NYC prices, but for what you’re going to pay, I can see making a trip to see you & Madonna! Haha (I kid)
