Or, you know, for those of you who might be traveling to Europe this summer, doing that whole “backpacking around Europe” thing, which always sounded so glamorous when James Michener wrote about it, but is probably a lot harder than it sounds. Anyway, thinking about catching a concert?

One of the summer’s hottest concerts is no doubt going to be Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour, and her ticket partner in the U.K. is Viagogo. Getting Madonna Tickets is a lot harder than it used to be, you had to sign up for something called the Icon Membership in order to be able to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public, but the cutoff date was May 1st. In order to purchase VIP ticket packages or individual tickets, you’ll now need to go to the Viagogo website.

When you go to the Viagogo site to buy Madonna Tickets, you’ll be able to see, for each location, where the seating is so that you know which section to choose tickets for. You can also buy Sticky & Sweet Tour VIP packages as well. Prices start at £80 and go up to £388 depending on how close you are to the stage and whether you are sitting or standing.

In addition to Madonna Tickets, Viagogo also has tickets to Sporting events such as the French Open and Wimbledon, tickets to events at the Beijing Olympics, Golf events like the Ryder Cup and the British Open, Formula One Racing, as well as football, rugby, cricket, horse racing, and more. On the Arts & Theatre tickets page, you can get tickets to the Opera, the Ballet, Theatre productions like Hamlet and King Lear, Musicals, Comedy Shows, and even High School Musical on Ice!

You can also buy “Hospitality” tickets, which from what I understand from the site, means you get wined and dined and treated like royalty before and during the show. For example, for Madonna’s show in London, the Hospitality package includes:

* Top price ticket from the promoters holds to see Madonna live in concert
* Two and a half hour hospitality event before the show in “The Candy Shop” at the concert venue
* Champagne reception on arrival
* Three course meal with fine wines and coffee
* Full complimentary bar during the pre-show hospitality (excludes champagne)
* Stylised “Candy Shop” room dressing and floral arrangements
* One hour post show party in a private suite at the concert venue
* Full complimentary bar during the post-show party (excludes champagne)
* Resident DJ
* Exclusive Sticky & Sweet VIP tour gift for each guest
* Commemorative VIP laminate for each guest
* Presentation wallet containing event documentation for each guest

Price:
Full Hospitality Inc. Ticket: £468.83 inc. VAT
Hospitality Only No ticket: £308.83 inc. VAT

Notice it says TICKET, singular. Planning to take someone with you? Two Hospitality tickets is going to set you back a BUNCH of money, but I bet you’ll have a pretty memorable evening!

So there you go, U.K. readers, if you are looking for tickets to summer events, stop by the Viagogo U.K. website to get all the info you need.
