PETALING JAYA, Feb 23 — Madonna’s Rebel Heart World Tour Singapore leg is reportedly costing organisers US$10 million (RM42 million) to stage.
The mind-boggling number eclipses one of the most priciest concerts to be staged in Kuala Lumpur when Korean pop outfit Big Bang’s two-day show last year was reported to cost an estimated RM1 million to stage.
The Madonna show is also tagged as the first concert at the Singapore National Stadium that will require a reconfiguration of the seating to accommodate the show. The entire process will take 10 days to facilitate and will enable the audience to be closer to the stage.
The concert is close to “sold out”, and the promoters have increased tickets to meet the demand, with the announcement that a limited number of S$188 (RM573) tickets will be up for sale beginning at 10am tomorrow.
All lower tier tickets priced at S$108, S$188, S$288 and S$388 were sold out earlier and organisers had reintroduced the S$388 tickets last week to meet the demand.
Tickets are available online at www.sportshubtix.sg/Hotline at +65 3158 7888/National Stadium Box Office or at all SingPost Outlets.
Madonna’s Rebel Heart World Tour in Singapore is produced by Live Nation Global Touring in association with East West Best, Inc. and supported by KingLun & The UMS Group.
Tickets priced at S$488, S$588, S$688 and VIP tickets at S$1,288 remain in limited numbers.
