    I saw on facebook a mgm member got a ticket (for Madonna) offered for March1 at T-Mobile.
    Anyone here has received this offer and if so what section are you in?

    Usually the tickets are not given out until the day of the concert, so folks do not know where their seats are until hours before the concert. And, the quality of seats, or even an offer are usually tied to level of play. (not tier)

    Next question would be: What time will she actually start the concert?

    I recall on past concerts, a seating map was based on tiers. Perhaps seats within each tier was tied to level of play???

    I did get the offer. No location noted but I am betting nosebleed for my tier level...

    She seems to make a habit of starting the show a couple of hours late.

    You haven’t paid any attention to this tour obviously.Two hours late is more rule than exception.

    I said “scheduled” and someone upthread commented on the lack of information. No need to be snarky

    I heard on the news last week that some fans were suing for her showing up so late. That is when I checked the set list site. It was interesting that the MGM Rewards offer came almost at the same time. I briefly considered a local show, but the average starting times are way past the time I like to travel back from downtown Houston.

    I saw her back in 2008-ish (?) and she was about two hours late for that one. Knowing that she does it habitually is very off-putting to me, but I'd go again if it were free.

    I saw her sometime in the 80’s at the Capital Centre. We were guests in one of their Sky Boxes. I do not remember her being significantly late, but I also was not an old fuddy duddy back then…so who knows!

    She did put on a good show.

    Got the offer for free tickets. One hour late is a lot already, not to mention two hours. I guess I will pass.

    Starting 2 hours late seems to be about standard. We saw her about 12 years ago and it was the same. We couldn't figure out why more than half the seats were empty. Around 10 or so it started to fill up. Don't think that lawsuit will go anywhere as it seems like most folks already expect it to start late.

    Now, if everyone showed up at 10:30 and she actually started the show at 8:30. Maybe then there would be a case for a lawsuit.

    It speaks volumes to how little she values her fans sadly but as long as she keeps filling seats she probably doesn’t care.

    If she is starting two hours late, are there at least openers keeping the crowd entertained?

    I received an offer, but don't think I'd go to see the current Madonna.

    I know people that went to a LV show where she was super late. Not only was she hours late, but she was very rude and disrespectful about it. She was booed.

    I got the offer. If it was 1986, I'd go see her. Now? No way. Not a fan.

    My wife doesn’t know that we’re going yet. lol

    She’s no spring chicken, so I gotta try to see her.

    I noticed the midweek LA tickets are available for ~$86. These aren’t resale tickets either. Maybe she’s not that popular anymore.
