Finland sells out in three hours, Norwegian concert sold out in record time!

Madonna Tribe

This morning the 40,000 tickets for the Sticky & Sweet Tour concert at Valle Hovin in Oslo sold out after 34 minutes, a new record for Norway!
The Golden Circle tickets were the most difficult to get hold of.

The physical sale at Oslo Spektrum had people queuing for 24 hours, from 10 AM yesterday, and the temperature was minus 14° Celsius last night! Many warm clothes, sleeping bags and small campfires...

Tickets for the Sticky & Sweet Tour concert at the West Harbour in Helsinki on August 6th went on sale at 9 AM this morning and sold out within three hours.

Fans experienced serious difficulties with both telephone and on-line sales, with lines to the Lippupiste sales office jammed and some callers experiencing crossed connections. R-kiosk sales points also faced difficulties as internet ticket booking services overloaded and crashed.

A record total of 80,000 tickets for the Madonna concert went on sale this morning.

Tickets may still become available for the Helsinki stadium date, according to ticket-vendor Lippupiste, as people who disregarded the six-ticket per person reservation limit will be unable to redeem their tickets.
Lippupiste has issued a warning against buying tickets on the aftermarket. Scalpers have begun selling Sticky & Sweet concert tickets online at very high mark-ups. The company, however, says scalpers may not come into possession of the tickets they are now selling. The wheeling and dealing of Madonna concert tickets is already in full swing at the auction website huuto.net.
