Material girl Madonna will perform at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi on June 3 and show organiser Flash Entertainment has confirmed that 22,000 tickets are available for sale.
Flash said the tickets would go on sale at midday on February 27 for the June 3 show and urged fans to buy early to avoid disappointment.
With an average of 41,000 fans attending each show of Madonna’s last tour in 2008/9, the company is preparing for one of the fastest selling shows in the city’s history, a statement said.
Madonna’s concert weekend is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans to Yas Island, the statement said.
In recent years, the city has successfully positioned itself as the entertainment hub of the Middle East with the 2009 opening of Yas Island, where the first ever day/night Etihad Airways Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was staged.
Yas Island, which is a short drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport, is home to a wide collection of some of the country’s finest hotels and leisure attractions including Ferrari World, Yas Links, Yas Yacht Club and over 30 dining options.
In 2011, the Yas Arena saw over half a million people through its doors to see performers including Aerosmith, Shakira, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Britney Spears, Metallica, Janet Jackson and Arabic Megastar Amr Diab.
In all, the Arena has hosted over 50 artists and 23 shows in the past three years, the statement said.
Tickets can be bought online or via Flash. They can also be purchased from Virgin Megastores outlets across the Middle East. Prices start at Dh350
Etihad Airways will announce concert packages shortly.
