Madonna Says Tour Ticket Price 'Worth It'

(New York Post) - Madonna believes it will be well "worth it" for fans to pay $300 a pop to see her next tour.

As the Material Girl told Newsweek about her plans to tour in support of her upcoming album, "M.D.N.A," the star seemed highly dismissive of fan complaints about high ticket prices.

"Start saving your pennies now," said Madonna. "People spend $300 on crazy things all the time, things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together, and come to my show. I'm worth it."

But Madonna -- who will perform during the halftime show at this weekend's Super Bowl -- has a bigger problem on her hands: getting people to spend the $13 for a ticket to see her movie, "W.E."

Her recent comments about the film -- a romantic drama inspired by the 1930s affair between England's King Edward VIII and US divorcee Wallis Simpson -- hardly sound like a rousing endorsement.

"It's a really long, long, long process and I think in that long process you can lose perspective and start doubting it," Madonna told Anderson Cooper on his talk show Thursday.

"You watch the same scenes over and over again; I got to the point where I watched my movie the time before the screening you saw and I said, 'I don't know what I've done anymore, I can't see it anymore.'"

"W.E" opens in theaters in the US Friday. "M.D.N.A." will be released on March 26.
