While waiting for my new credit card to arrive, tickets for Madonna’s intimate ‘Madame X Tour’ in Boston went on sale, so I quickly texted Andy to see if he could sign up for them. The convoluted and mysterious way they were on sale left me flummoxed, as did horror stories of other fans who were frozen out. Once my card arrived, I signed up for the chance too, but I assumed it was too late.
A few weeks later I got my official denial e-mail, but Andy got a message saying he would be receiving his ticket information soon. Hope! When they finally did arrive, he went on the site to claim them, but nothing happened. He stayed on, waiting for spinning icons and frozen websites until 3 in the morning, perhaps fearful of the wrath that might ensue should the tickets just disappear.
The next day we went back on the site and there they were – amazing seats for one of Madonna’s Boston shows at the Boch Theatre. Once again, Andy saves the world.
As for the Madame X Tour, I’m not sure what to expect. Sounds like a more casual and intimate affair, and based on the size of the venues I’m guessing it won’t be quite as bombastic and big as previous tours have been. But if anyone can astound and enthrall, even in a small acoustic set, it’s Madonna. The girl can’t help it.
