Madonna Like A Virgin Tour

The Material Girl’s legendary 1985 Like A Virgin Tour was a smash hit, selling out of Madonna tickets in record time!

Madonna Tour: Like A Virgin Album
Madonna released her second album Like A Virgin in November 1984 to much fanfare and controversy because of the album’s first single “Like a Virgin.” Madonna kept the controversy going by performing her No. 1 hit “Like A Virgin” on the first annual MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. During her performance, Madonna rolled around on the stage in a white wedding dress and belt that spelled out “Boy Toy.”

Madonna’s popularity soared after her appearance on the MTV Video Music Awards, which helped to sell millions of dollars of Madonna tickets to her upcoming Like A Virgin tour in 1985. Madonna’s Like A Virgin album sold over 19 million copies worldwide and scored three more Top 10 hits with the singles “Material Girl,” “Angel” and “Dress You Up.”

Madonna Tour: Ticket Sales Erupt
Madonna’s Like A Virgin Tour kicked off April 10, 1985, at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, Washington. Madonna tickets were in high demand for Madonna’s first North American tour since her debut on the pop scene in 1983. Within 30 minutes of Madonna tickets going on sale for the Like A Virgin Tour, New York City's Radio City Music Hall tour date sold all of its 17,672 Madonna tickets!

At each Like A Virgin Tour date, Madonna tickets were flying out of the box office. The Material Girl scrambled to move her shows to higher capacity venues so more fans could buy Madonna tickets to her Like A Virgin Tour. Tens of thousands of Madonna fans with Madonna tickets attended Madonna’s 40-date Like A Virgin Tour in 1985. Madonna’s Like A Virgin Tour ended with a two-night stand at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden on June 11, 1985.
