The star announced his tour on January 17, in a YouTube video that alludes directly to his film “Truth or Dare” (Truth or Dare). We see Madonna haloed by guet-stars like DJ Diplo, Jack Black, Lil Wayne or even Bob The Drag-Queen, taking up the challenge of embarking on a mega-tour retracing her 40 years of hits. Thus was born the “Celebration Tour”. The fans are failing! On the schedule, the female solo artist who has sold the most records of all time has just added two Parisian dates: November 12 and 13 at the Accor Arena. But already the initial enthusiasm is fading… the advertised ticket price is just exorbitant! And the fans do not hide their anger even if, in the end, the two concerts are already sold out.
So there are people who pay without hesitation 3276 bucks for a concert at Bercy. This hierarchy of ticket prices is already a scandal – concert halls are not the Opera! – but this kind of price should be prohibited! #MadonnaTickets#madonnapic.twitter.com/Cul8iOZHWP

276.50 euros to be pushed into the pit!
This Friday, January 20, at the opening of the ticket office, the prices are indeed maddening, climbing up to 1,046 euros! The pit in front of the stage is divided into six zones around a central stage. And standing up close to the diva costs 276.50 euros per person! Areas further from the stage are 194 euros. Seats (outside the golden square) range from 133 euros in category 2 to 84 euros in category 3 and 45 euros for the last category. On social media, global Ciccone fans have widely expressed their anger and disappointment at the unreasonable prices charged by The Queen of Pop. And mocking and humorous tweets are flourishing on the Web. But at the same time, each of his concerts is already sold-out in the 25 dates in North America and in all European cities, such as Antwerp, Stockholm and Barcelona, like Paris. What does not encourage a policy of revision of the tariffs! In addition, many gossips assume that at 64, Madonna could well end her career in the firmament thanks to this mega tour where she will resume her greatest hits, from “Like a Virgin” to “4 minutes” in duet with Justin Timberlake, via “Vogue”. A great moment of spectacle… and nostalgia!
