Madonna is expected to hit the road on a tour later this year—following her Super Bowl stint—in support of her upcoming release, titled MDNA (and yes, she knows that title sound an awful lot like a popular drug). Warming up the press machine, the performer told Newsweek in a recent interview that she's well worth the hundreds of dollars her fans will shell out to see her. Specifically, the 53-year-old star told her fans, "Start saving your pennies now. People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show. I'm worth it."
On her 2009 tour, seats to her MSG show were actually over $300, with ticket prices going up to at least $350. And that's face value, not scalper pricing. But can you blame her? She has to buy so many gloves to cover her scary hands up with. We'll find out how much she'll be selling these for shortly after the Super Bowl, when tickets are rumored to be going on sale.
Needless to say, the Madonna who once slept on cushions she found in the trash in the East Village (yes, really) is either shaking her head, or quite pleased.
