Only if he isn't practicing for England's Olympic fencing team.

The fans should greet him at the airport waving their arms as the plane descends onto the landing strip.

I got one of the last floor tix for Iron Maiden. Unfortunately, I was supposed to pick up 4, but was only able to get 1, so I will be on the floor while all my friends are in seats.

In other news, Judas Priest are playing GM Place in July.

Tix go on sale friday.

At this rate, I'm gonna be broke by the end of summer.

Not into the concert scene but I came across this and thought it might be of interest to others. It's called Desifest and it's on Water St this weekend, I've never heard of it before, but sounds like a large event.

I thought Pavco said that a retractable roof could be built with the stadium inflatable roof intact, with stadium operations functioning normally - with events going on inside, even football games.

That's a bad thing. But it's Madonna, so I don't really care.

If by some miracle Led Zeppelin were to play here on a tour, it would be a shame if they played BC Place. I saw the Rolling Stones when they came here and the acoustics were total shit. I'd rather be high in the balcony at GM Place or the Pacific Coliseum than on the floor at BC Place.

Madonna + BC Place echo = disaster

I'd personally rather have two concerts at GM Place, just like U2 a few years ago, rather than one big one at the dome.

David · #99 Posted **May 9, 2008, 1:22 AM**

as the biggest madonna fan on this forum i was beside myself to learn that she is playing Vancouver for the first time after 25 years and 7 tours. As for BC Place, she is playing a lot of stadiums this time around, which she hasn't done since 1993. I've noticed that most of the stadium shows are in "smaller" markets like Vancouver and San Diego, while big markets like Toronto and New York are in arenas (surely to have more dates added when the single date announced now sells out).

SpongeG · #**100** Posted **May 9, 2008, 4:44 AM**

yeah she does that with each last tour - announces one or two dates than keeps adding - if you look at the schedule there are usually a number of days between cities

side note: i go to three madonna forums and they are all having orgasms - a lot of them go to every freaking show and save up for years to do so - they spend $1000's following her around

nuts

i saw her in toronto years ago - it was a pretty good show
