I wouldnt buy ANYTHING off craigslist...especially Madonna tickets. That is a good way to get screwed out of your money....FAST! People have been posting tickets for sale on there since the date was announced and that is almost impossible to have tickets that quick!

Ticketmaster has "auctions" but unfortunately the big rig ticket brokers outbid everyone with those 2000.00 or more bids and then turn around and end up NOT selling the tickets because nobody will pay 3500.00 for ONE ticket and the seats go empty all night. I tried the auction thing and the experience alone was a nightmare and will NEVER do it again.

Be patient I say...new shows are being added every day and there is talk of adding TWO more dates in HOUSTON and other venues.

Check ticketmaster often as they just added a new show for Oakland this morning

Yes..i agree...i was on line at exactly the right time... and couldn't get one ticket.. It kepts saying.. "can't find tickets, try again."// what a crock.... Ticketmaster sux... and they always have!!! I guess Craigslist is the way to go...unfortunately. Now Ihave to pay premium prices to someone else. Ridiculous. Ticketmaster needs to be alot better.

I called Ticketmaster Canada personally 3 days before the tickets went on sale to the public and got 2 VIP tickets! Section A3 Row 14. YEEEE HAWWW. Next time I would call the ticketmaster office directly instead of waiting for the online website to go on sale. I am going to be looking at her and rocking out.

I also agree that the website has some major defects in getting tickets processed due to that happened to me on her last tour and I barely got the tickets for that show. Stroke of luck I guess. Like I said next time call the office directly. You would be surprised at how you can get your tickets and not deal with this glitches of the ticketmaster system.

I guess it is luck of the draw - but I agree that something needs to happen to make this system work better. Bigger server maybe? When it works, it works great (friend got Sec B row 7 - floor). When it doesn't, it really sucks... Many condolences to you who got 'less than great service'. I am not going unfortunately, baby is due 2 weeks before concert.

I got 4 tix section A2 row 10 - no problems right at 10:00 - so I am loving Ticketmaster right now! Except for the $61.50 in service charges!

At least you went through with your purchase as my girlfriend spent longer than the 2 minutes allotted to her to decide and lost out on her pair.

She hasn't come out of the bedroom since.

As for ticketmaster, I wish I could go elsewhere to spend my "convenience" dollars, but what choice do I have? Aside from picking up my Lions tickets at the dome (I drive in from Richmond just to do it to avoid dealing with TM), I don't know of any other major event, sport, get together that doesn't go through 'em.

I'm in the section next to you. I can't believe how aweful Ticketmaster was. I was kicked out several times and when I did manage to get 2 tickets and try to purchase them, they "encountered a problem".

All that I could find were 1 seats, so I guess I'll be going alone.

Section 39, Row EE Seat 6

I'm hoping she will add as second show as she does for most cities.

Wow - you're pretty close to the stage! Our seats are in section 42. I'm so glad it wasn't me buying the tickets this morning - that can be so incredibly aggravating.

Well you can look at the pages already on Craigslist of losers selling tickets. Given that there are so many *available* there already, I hope they all get screwed royally.
