However, several fans took to social media to complain about the price of Madonna tickets.
In the digital queue for Madonna tickets even though there's no hope that a) any will be available by the time I get let in and b) that I'll be prepared to pay the ticket price. #MadonnaCelebrationTour

The price of the tickets for a decent seat at the O2 in London are crazy!!

I expected Madonna to be expensive but I just can’t justify £432 for a standing ticket… Or even £276 for a Floor Seat???????? #celebrationtour pic.twitter.com/VTUznd2OSY

I mean, it's the most expensive ticket I have ever paid for a concert – EVER. But it's a once in a lifetime gig, right? RIGHT? I don't love any female artist as much as I love @Madonna. So, yeah, very lucky to have just got a London ticket. Please be good #Madonna! #Celebration pic.twitter.com/bFwABCdHZs
