Madonna has cancelled her Celebration Tour in Los Angeles next month. TicketMaster sent notices this morning offering refunds to ticket holders for the shows scheduled at the Crypto.com Arena venue in late September. Refunds do not include shipping fees for ticket holders who did not purchased insurance, even though tickets were never actually shipped.
The Celebration tour will now kickoff in London on October 14, 2023, three months after it was originally due to begin in Vancouver, Canada in July. Most of the US dates have been pushed back to 2024, with some cancellations affecting New York, Tulsa, Nashville, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles.
The tour was originally planned to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Madonna’s breakout self-titled album which came out in 1983, and recently celebrated 40 years on July 27th. After more than a month of delaying her Celebration tour because of a bacterial infection that left her hospitalized and fans holding their breath, Madonna has set new North American dates leaving ticket holders in Los Angeles the option of getting their money back or getting a credit for future Madonna concert tickets.
The Celebration Tour will run through the European leg of the tour, beginning on December 13, 2023, in Brooklyn and ending on April 24, 2024, in Mexico City. “Madonna regrets the inconvenience to fans and hopes to make it up to those markets in the future,” promoter Live Nation said in an announcement.

The tour then crosses the Atlantic for shows in New York and Washington. She will take a Christmas break December, and the rescheduled dates begin in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The setlist for the show is currently under wraps, but Madonna previously asked fans for their input, posing the question “What song would you like to dance to at my show?” on social media. She teased that she may perform songs she’s never played before like Physical Attraction and Bad Girl.
She needs to go back to her nursing home!
I am a mega fan of the Queen and have seen her perform approx 13 times. I was blessed with Rebel Heart tour in Miami as I got to see her 2 nights in a row in the very 1st row on the floor. I freaked when she recognized me the 2nd night. But even without that recognition, I can say with every fiber of my being as a fan, that it was worth every single dollar. I have always paid a fair amount as I was lucky enough to do so and each time, I have had the absolute… Read more »
Actually all of the tickets for Crypto were cancelled because ALL of the shows are moving to the Kia Forum. Everyone who received a cancellation notice for a Crypto show will receive an email link to have early access to re-purchase tickets at the new venue. There are still the exact same number of shows in LA as there were before the announcement. I do not know which venue is larger, so I don’t know if there will be more or less tickets available at the new location.
You are correct! I had a date cancelled that was to take place at the Crypto venue (formally Staples Center) and now I will attempt to get tickets for the rescheduled dates at the Kia Forum. In my option this is a much better venue than the Crypto. It’s much smaller, and any seat in the house is a great seat. Plus I live 3 blocks from the Kia so I can now walk to the show! 😀
OK, I made a mistake on the amount of money spend on a Madonna ticket as someone spotted my mistake in my last message.I wrote $1.058.95 instead of $1,058.95. Still, that is a lot of money that can be spend on something more useful.I shudder to think how much tickets were for the recent Taylor Swift concert series.I agree with one commenter that parking fees can get crazy. On one recent event I attended,there were offers to park a car for $120 on a private driveway.I was leery of these offers,so instead I decided to ride on the MTA Red… Read more »
I’m so sad, got the email yesterday for the concert cancellation for the Crypto date in September. My buds going to Kia got change date to March 2024. Too crushed, I hope she comes back to reschedule, cause we want to see her!!!!!!
Wow!! $1.058.95 for one ticket to see Madonna!! I love Madonna,but that is a lot of money.The ticket buyer must work in tech or have a credit card with a nice limit.
I love her too but wouldn’t pay more than $299….sorry, I mean $2.99. Add insane parking cost and it’s even more ridiculous. Ticketmaster is SCUM for not refunding fee for tickets not even mailed yet.
You could take $2.99 n go to dollar store for some bubble cum n chew it as best as you can. Enjoy while listening to her on record

Is she bringing her fake English accent to the show
