Okay. I am now the owner of two Madonna tickets. To be honest, when I heard about her new tour (“Re-Invention”), I only half-heartedly thought it would be cool to go check it out. Don’t get me wrong: I love Madonna, but for some reason I don’t find myself generally drawn to huge-venue concerts. Despite that, this morning I went to the Ticketmaster website just before 10 a.m., and bought a pair of tickets anyway, figuring I can decide in the meantime whether to keep or sell them. One thing is they’re outrageously expensive. The only perspective I can give myself is that the price scale is slightly comparable to opera, though definitely surpassing it for the premium seats. So for that kind of money, I’m fully expecting a personally transformative audiovisual experience.
By the way, there are now two D.C. dates (the second one was just added), June 13-14 at the MCI Center.

I’m jealous. Though I don’t think I could stand all the teens that are going to be there.
