The demand for tickets in Paris for Madonna's scheduled September 20th
performance was so staggering that a second and final performance has just
been announced for September 21st. The Sticky & Sweet Zurich show at the
Military Airfield Dubendorf scheduled for August 30th has just glided past
the 70,000 mark as Madonna fans buy tickets in record breaking numbers for
that show as well as in Vancouver, where Madonna's October 30th performance
sold 50,000 tickets in a record breaking 29 minutes. In addition, due to
instant sellouts in Toronto at Air Canada Centre on October 18th and
Montreal at the Bell Centre on October 22nd, second shows in both markets
have been added -- October 19th in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre and
October 23 at Montreal's Bell Centre. These new sellout performances add to
a list of sellouts that already include three sold out Madison Square
Garden shows in New York City on October 6, 7 and 11 and sellouts in Boston
and Chicago where a second show October 27th at the United Center will go
on sale on June 2nd. Additional Madonna shows on sale this weekend include:
Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Philadelphia,
Atlanta and Atlantic City (see listing below venue, show date and on-sale
dates).

The Sticky & Sweet Tour, where Madonna once again joins creative forces
with director Jamie King, is expected to surpass her previous sold out
Confessions Tour in terms of production, visual enhancement, technology,
dancing, singing, costumes and nonstop entertainment. A special stage is
being created to showcase Madonna, her band, and a stunning troop of
dancers, all of which will give fans a breathtaking never before seen or
heard once-in-a- lifetime experience. Madonna recently gave fans a preview
of what they might expect at promotional shows in New York, Paris and the
UK which received overwhelming raves from critics and fans.

Madonna's current CD "HARD CANDY" which debuted at the number one slot
in 37 countries remains the number one CD on Billboard's European album
chart along with holding the number one single spot on BIllboard's European
single chart with the smash hit "4 Minutes." In the US, "HARD CANDY" has
remained a Top 10 album since its release.
