Over 300 Brazilian fans slept in line last night in order to get their hands on tickets for the Sticky & Sweet tour, but the vast majority logged onto the Tickets For Fun website to try to purchase tickets online. While ticket counters for Madonna's concert at Maracanã Stadium opened at 11 this morning, one hour earlier than advertised, online sales started at midnight and phone lines opened at 6 am. In spite of major problems on the website reported by Madonna Online, which ranged from a busy server to customers not getting a sales confirmation after waiting over 4 hours online to get through the system, by the time ticket counters opened today all the R$600 VIP tickets for the December 14 concert were already sold out. Fourteen hours after sales started, the 75,000 tickets for the concert in Rio were sold out.
In two days 110,000 tickets will go on sale for the two São Paulo performances. I hope that Time for Fun will make sure that their website is able to operate with the demand because from what I have read so far it was a big mess last night. And just so all of you know, the online service charge is 20% of the total transaction, which results in VIP tickets at R$720 (or about USD $440), the most expensive face value of the Sticky & Sweet tour. And there is nothing VIP about the tickets: all that VIP means is a preferred gated area in front of the stage which will most likely also contain another 5,000 people or more standing.

In Mexico, two concerts were sold out in 20 minutes. I was online thirty minutes before the selling started and got nothing! Ticketmaster just said for ten minutes: "loading" and after that: "Sold OUT" !!!! The same happened with the second concert.
