Madonna Playing Six Intimate Shows At BAM In September
May 6, 2019, 10:25 a.m.
The shows are a rare chance to see Madonna in a super intimate venue.
May 2019: Madonna accepts the advocate for change award at the 30th annual GLAAD Media Awards at the New York Hilton Midtown.
This year's most impossible ticket to score: Madonna... at BAM's Howard Gilman Opera House... which has a capacity of around 2,100.
The icon just announced a series of dates for her intimate U.S. tour, which will be in support of her upcoming album Madame X (released June 14th), and she'll be performing for six night's at the intimate Brooklyn venue in September. Promoter Live Nation called the shows "rare" for the performer (and the "ultimate opportunity for her fans"), who typically sells out venues like Madison Square Garden.
Fans can now make ticket requests (through May 10th), with seats costing anywhere from $60 to an astronomical $760 (plus fees, though each ticket comes with a CD).
Tickets will be scaled between $60.00 - $760.00 (plus applicable service fees). According to Variety, fans will also "have the opportunity to enter to purchase tickets at $10 at Madonna.com... There will be 10 tickets available per show and fans will be notified on show date if they have been selected for this unique opportunity."
In the May 10th issue of Vogue, you'll find a lengthy interview with Madonna, who spoke about aging, among other things: "People have always been trying to silence me for one reason or another, whether it’s that I’m not pretty enough, I don’t sing well enough, I’m not talented enough, I’m not married enough, and now it’s that I’m not young enough... So they just keep trying to find a hook to hang their beef about me being alive on. Now I’m fighting ageism, now I’m being punished for turning 60."
