Madonna: 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour

Traveled from Boise Idaho,2400 miles only to wait freezing for 2.5 hours for her to show up.The Music sounded great, what there was of it. Loved the new re-mixes of her old songs, especially Boderline.I wondered why she chose the Latin samba thing, but the "shes not me rocked" I would say we walked away ok with it, but it wasnt what I expected,To much Hype, not enough Show, and way to expensive of a venue.Play somewhere next time where your fans can afford,then if you cant make it till 10 pm why dont you put that on the ticket? my time is important to.If you were trying to get a message across it was lost by your late arrival, sorry.

Aside from the wait (which everyone expected up to a point, but 2 1/2 hours is beyond acceptable), her voice was horrible, the venue was far too large, and the overall production values have declined from her previous tours to the point of embarrassment. Love her, but think I'll skip the next one.

"IF THEY EVER WANT HER TO TOUR THERE AGAIN" Milyssa20

I am sure the majority of us are not worried abut her touring here again, after that disappointment!

I wish I would have taken my $328.00 and bought all of her CD's to hear the music I wanted and paid to hear her play...

If she only would have passed up detroit I would have been $$ in my pocket.

Get over it Melyssa of IL it is only Madonna!

I'm not sure what everyone else in MI was smoking, but the only part of the show that was truly bad was the fans. How can you expect a performer to feed off a non existent crowd. I drove from mid-state IL and weathered a blizzard on the way there to see the show, stood outside for hours in nothing more than a hoodie, paid 30.00 for next to no food, and waited around inside like the rest of you and I thought she looked great and did great! The fans were drunk and some of them beligerant. They all just stood there or sat down even when she was trying to get them motivated. I think everyone got stuck on the fact that she started late and just decided to be pissy about it. Ever heard the expression good things come to those who wait? Madge rocks ALWAYS! Detroit needs to get over themselves if they ever want her to tour there again. Just cause she is from there doesn't mean its an obligation to come there. Remember...its a privilage.

A Pissed off ILLINOIS.

Madonna, what were you thinking! I left after the Latin spactacular. I heard only 3 songs of many that I thought I would hear from back in my youth. After sitting for 2 1/2 hrs., 6 beers getting past the pissed off mood for such a late start I was asked to sit down. I proceeded to tell usher I have been sitting for 2 frickin hrs. So I guess he thought I was his wife, proceeded to yell at me, grabbed my coat threw my beer on him and left. I can tell you this. If Madonna said Detroit girls don't take no shit I missed it and she is right. I could have bought nose bleed seats and been relocated to a better seat then what I purchased.
The next time I purchase anything for Ford Field, the Lions will be
6-0. We know when that'll be. You should have sold all tickets general admission. Then maybe the seating would not be such a fiasco and the show could have started a lot earlier. Save your guitar playing for the campfires with your children. YOU WERE BAD great legs , very disappointing performance. You could have rocked your home town. I know I was expecting that!!
If anyone has purchased tics for future dates do not rush. You really wont miss anything, and if you are thinking of buying. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Madonnas concert was real disappointment for me. I had such high anticipation for her show that i was let down by her performance. I thought the new edge on her old songs were cool, but the Greek musical number could have been eliminated althogether. Her previous tours has been spectaular *(especially the Blonde Ambition and the Confessions Tour). She should have came out earlier since she only had a DJ performing. The stage lights and sound was good especially for being in the arena that she played. I hate given Madonna such an horrible review because i have been an Madonna fan for such a long time. Maybe next time madonna if there is one.

I cant believe that I spent money to go see what I thought would be an awesome concert by one of the best performers ever. I was not only dissapointed but disgusted! No opening act but a dj? She was 2 hours late and didnt even perform an encore. This is by far the worst concert I have ever been to. I realize that she is promoting her new material but for those who grew up with her music this was huge letdown.

Only Madonna would make you wait two hours for her concert to begin.
Left Work Early $27.00

Disappointment! If you print 7:30PM on the tickets then start the concert at that time not 9:30PM All the reviews left are true. Our time is precious too!

The last thing anyone from Detroit needs is more disrespect. Then comes Madonna 2 hours late to perform her show at Ford Field and she leaves without a single encore. Those choices will prevent her from playing Ford Field again.

On the bright side, the sound system was PHENOMENAL. The visuals were OUTSTANDING. The lighted scrim was FANTASTIC.

The choice of songs was very disappointing to long-term fans. She even chose to perform what sounded like 3 traditional Greek songs that made no sense at all. Personally, I preferred hearing the newer songs but some of the choices were just stupid.

She attempted to jump rope during one number and made an idiot of herself.

So, Madonna said, "Detroit girls don't take shit from nobody!" My reply is, "...Detroit is done taking shit from Madonna." Send her back to England or NYC or LA, we don't want to see her back in Detroit.

This was by far the worst concert I've ever attended. I did have high expectations considering I had been a HUGE Madonna fan most of my life, however I would have been happy with a single rendition of only ONE of her "hits" from the '80s or early '90s. Although the concert was technically 2 hours long, I don't think she was actually performing for more than one hour. There was lots of filler with videos, recorded music and dancers doing weird things such as boxing. The 1/2 star I did give this concert was for her amazing dancers. What a disappointment. Save your money and stay home and pop in a Madonna CD. You'll be better off.
BTW, she did not take the stage until 9:30 for a concert that "started" at 7:30. She didn't even do any extra for the hometown crowd.

2 hours late and completely not worth the wait or the money. We left early. I've never done that at a concert before. She really should have to pay me back for my ticket and my time. Bad costumes, tired dance moves, and horrible remixed versions of her classics. If I wanted to listen to bad club music I would have gone down the street and probably would have had a better time for much less money. What a dissapointment!

Hey....you were lucky in Chicago. We had a 7:30 p.m. start time and she started at 9:10 p.m. but...worth every minute of the wait. She was amazing. She didn't stop for 2 hours. The dancing, dancers, lights, graphics were the best. However, Petco Park was the worse venue ever. Every word echoed. Last time I attend a concert there!

The concert did not start until 8:50, which is almost an hour wait.
Extremely irritating! When she finally did show up, what a disappointment. She's sitting in a chair with her legs spread wide open.(Talk about crass) I was embarrassed for the 8 yr old little girl sitting in front of me. And to pay $350.00 dollars for the single ticket was obscene. She's so overated! The gym shorts she wore for an hour I could have gotten out of my 80's box in the back of my closet. The costumes were really bad and nothing special. I'd never recommend her concerts to anyone. Her background singers were so loud you couldn't hear a thing. Bad, Bad and More Bad. Waste of money!

And still reigning as queen. Madonna is the only pop star that hasn't lost her mind (though one could argue she's come close) and who's talent and voice remains exceptional today. She was the first to truly reinvent herself to remain interesting and attractive and her crossover to acting was moderately successful. Would love to catch her live.
