How do I purchase tickets for the Madonna on sale powered by #VerifiedFan?
Unlock ticket access by registering for the on sale powered by Verified Fan. Registration closes as follows:

London shows: Thursday, 16 May at 16:00 BST.

Paris shows: Monday, 20 May @ 23:59 CEST

With Verified Fan, a simple registration is all it takes to get verified for the opportunity to be invited to shop for tickets. While it does not guarantee that everyone will get a ticket, it does level the playing field, so a fan is only up against another fan – without racing against bots – for the same ticket.

Due to the limited quantity of tickets, they will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
