Press Releases by Lusa
Madonna Tribe Team Member Pam Anderson has translated for us the new press release from Lusa (the Portuguese equivalent of the Associated Press) about the second date of the re-Invention tour added on September 14.
Lisbon, 29 Jul (Lusa) – North-American Singer Madonna will do another concert in Portugal, on Sept. 14th, after the tickets for 13th have sold out in just one day, the promoter Música no Coração announced.
The tickets for the second show, also to take place in the Atlântico Pavilion, will be on sale from 10am this Friday, the promoter said to Lusa.
During today the tickets for the show set to take place Sept. 13th – whose prices vary from 161 to 51 euros – practically sold out, since there were only 42 tickets left to sell at 6:30pm, according to the promoter.
The 15000 tickets for the singer’s first show were put on sale at 10am and considered almost sold out by the Atlântico Pavilion at 6pm, which was confirmed by the promoter.
Madonna‘s concert, which will be filmed, is a part of the “Re-Invention World Tour“, the first in three years, coming to Portugal in September.
Most shows in this tour, with a budget of 1.4 million euros, sold out or are selling out.
6,500 tickets sold in four hours
A total of 6.500 tickets had been sold until 1.15 pm today for the Madonna concert that will take place on September 13 at the Atlantic Pavilion in Lisbon, sources from Portuguese promoter Música no Coração told Lusa.
The capacity of the pavilion is of 20.000 places and the price of tickets for the North American pop singer show varies between 61 and 151 €.
In the overall seven Fnac stores, one of the outlets selling tickets for the event – “in average, 500 tickets a hour” were sold, the director of the Fnac of Santa Catarina, in Porto, told Lusa . The Fnac of Santa Catarina, that is a street store, opened to the 9:40 am, 20 minutes earlier than its correspondents situated in shopping malls, when already 40 people were queing to buy their ticket, according to the same source.
At the Fnac of GaiaShopping, in Gaia, at 12.30 pm more than 6,000 € in tickets were cashed, although a responsible of the store of NorteShopping, in Matosinhos, noticed that “the affluence has been very high, but nothing compared with the race for tickets for the Rolling Stones, that played last year at the Coimbra Stadium.
At the Fnac of Colombo, in Lisbon, the most looked-for tickets were the ones for Balcony level 1 (151 €) and Plateia VIP (126 €). The waiting time in this store for the ticket purchase was of about half an hour.
The tickets for the Madonna concert were available for sale at ABEP, FNAC, boxes multibank, in the Ticketline and at the Atlantic Pavilion.
