For which concert? At Birmingham it doesn't matter what time she comes on but if she goes over her time she will be fined. That's all. As for Hyde Park. It opens at half four so they are obviously aware of times and stuff. Don't worry we won't get half an hour. She may be late to arena concerts at times but she is professional. No way will they give us half an hour.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up! I was feeling awful for a minute there but I feel much happier again now.

I really hope the Hyde Park people have a great time and a full show. They really deserve it, attending such a venue.

Whatever time she comes on she will be FAB! I just hope she doesn't flash a boob or a bum cheek in my direction - I won't know where to look!

It will be fine, don't worry. They know what they're doing. (: It will be a great couple of shows. (:

Martin Solveig doesn't have birmingham down in his schedule on his website, yet has the other dates of the tour?

I seriously hope she doesn't come on at 10 though.

10pm is a crazy time to come on stage! How long is her concert, anyone know? Around the 2 hour mark, surely? Has she done gigs finishing at midnight before?

It's bad for the people who have trains or long drives home. She might be Madonna, but nothing excuses that kind of lateness.

I'm just glad I've booked my hotel room now. It's very close to the NIA so hopefully I'll be fine getting there and back whatever happens.

I live just outside B'ham so it's not that hard for me to get home but getting the last tram back would of been a lot easier for me. Oh well I guess we will just have to see what happens on the night.

Does anyone know how big the NIA actually is? I've never been before.

Me neither, I've only ever gone to the NEC (LG) apparently it's quite small with even the back having a really good view. Wiki said it can seat up to 12,700 people. So the Madonna gig is going to be quite intimate for this show (compared to the other shows anyway)

I am really suprised she is perfoming at such a small venue, normally the venues she plays at have around 50,000! So it really should be a good view for everyone! I really can't wait! I keep running down the stairs each morning when i hear the post, hoping my ticket has been delivered lol

I know! I never thought I'd see her in Birmingham to be honest. I live just outside Brum (20 mins on the tram) so it's easy for me to get to.

awww mine came yesterday. I know people who still haven't got their Hyde Park tickets.

Did you get your tickets through ticketmaster by any chance?

NIA is a great venue - I saw the gladiators show there when I was a kid!

I've been to the NIA twice before, Katy Perry and P!NK
I've sat at the back for both and it is a good view

I don't feel as bad now then for being in block 5.

Gladiators was filmed at the NEC wasn't it? I think you might have mixed up your arenas.

Gladiators was definitely filmed at the NIA, I went to one of the tapings there myself. That being said I recall them doing at least one show at the NEC.
