Madonna: The "MDNA World Tour" By The Numbers!




Madonna draws 4,000 tourists to Israel for "MDNA" concert premiere.

Fans pay up to NIS 5,000 for "VIP" tickets and accommodation package to attend Tel Aviv show; Conan O’Brian arrives especially to cover event.

This Thursday, tens of thousands of audience members will have the honor of being the first in the world to attend the latest concert tour by the Queen of Pop, Madonna.

The opening show of her "MDNA 2012 World Tour" comes three years after the singer finished her last worldwide concert tour, the "Sticky & Sweet Tour", with two performances in Tel Aviv’s "Hayarkon Park".

The set up for the show, which is produced by local promoter Shuki Weiss, together with "Live Nation" for an estimated cost of more than NIS 15 million, has taken two weeks so far.

A special 800-meter stage was built in Belgium.

It includes hidden stages, and its design will change for each song.

A special section, called the "Diamond", was built to protrude from the stage into the audience.

In addition, a tent city was built, including bedrooms, a game area for the singer’s children and a lounge for American television host, Conan O’Brian, who is visiting Israel especially to cover the show.

600 members of staff make the production team, 350 coming to Israel from the U.S. "Eventim.il" sold thousands of tourism packages, including accommodation and entry to the show.

In addition, dozens of journalists from all over the world are coming to Israel to cover the event.

"Diet Coca Cola", the Israeli show sponsor, offered some special deals on "Facebook", the winners of which are given the opportunity to upgrade their tickets to seats within the "Diamond" area, which is actually inside the stage.
