Oh, okay! They go out of their way to make it confusing though!

Is it confirmed anywhere that she won't be coming on stage at the NIA until after 10 ? Unless I hear a valid reason as to why she is doing this, am selling my Tickets.

I doubt she will come on that late. I've been to see her 4 times and each time she has come on around 9pm.

Same ahahah, we should be able to see something though. I was right near the back at the MEN for Tina Turner and could see everything! And that arena is huge.

I'm row MM by the way.

She's come on at 10pm most nights and Guy Oseary told fans 10pm is the official start time for MDNA

I don't mind lateness as long as people are told in advanced so they can prepare their journeys/overnight stays.

I'm so glad I'm staying in a hotel right near the arena. I'd hate a long trek back so late at night.

I hope she doesn't come on that late at Murryfield! It's a nightmare getting home from there.

I didn't, and I didn't think I'd be able to get tickets at £55 each either!

Same! I got a pre sale code and it took me so many attempts because they didn't put the cheap tickets on when they were supposed to. I was right there on the opening time. I was so annoyed. I got them though, YAY.

Thanks for the heads up. It's a good thing I know friends who live in London for when i do the Hyde park one.

That matches my first Madonna live experience too. But I was at Wembley Arena for that, so it was a good view wherever you sat as the venue is tiny. You'll probably still have a decent view at the NIA as it only holds 12,000 or so.

Thought they would have the tour logo on them though

Me and a mate have been lucky to get two tickets for Murrayfield from a girl at work yesterday who bought them but cant go now! We are in the west stand but I'm not sure what row it is, I think its near the front though, will find out Monday when she brings them in. Its been a nightmare finding a cheap hotel but just about managed it! We are driving up too from Wakefield, just hope the weather stays fine!

The Amsterdam show started just after 10pm and finished at midnight on the dot so it's just shy of 2 hours.

The Amsterdam Ziggo Dome seats 17.000 and I didn't know how the show would translate to a smaller venue but it worked beautifully with the catwalk coming up to about halfway through the hall. I bet the view from the seats wasn't too shabby because of that (I was standing)..
