Tickets for Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour are off to a strong start with weekend sell outs reported in Paris, Boston and Chicago, followed by sell-outs in New York where 2 performances at Madison Square Garden quickly sold out as did a 3rd show now confirmed for October 11th, 2008.

The tour will begin August 23, 2008 in Cardiff Wales and will play arenas and stadiums throughout Europe including a number of cities where Madonna has not performed in the past fifteen years.

A multi-Grammy award winner and recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's no surprise that the world's tastiest sweetheart's 11th album 'Hard Candy' debuted at #1 in an unprecedented 37 countries last week.

Madonna's current smash single "4 Minutes" was co-written and co-produced by Madonna, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. 'Hard Candy' is the Number One most downloaded digital album in the U.S. and many other countries. Madonna's previous studio album 'Confessions On A Dance Floor' sold over 8.5 million copies.

Madonna has long been known for groundbreaking multi-dimensional tours that consist of visual and audio extravaganzas with non-stop singing and breathtaking dancing. Madonna's last outing, 2006's acclaimed Confessions Tour played in 25 countries including Russia, reached a collective audience of over 1.3 million fans, and was the highest grossing concert tour of all time by a female artist.
