Madonna ticket salesmen sued

A Canadian Madonna fan is suing ticket companies in Quebec for selling entrance to the pop queen's concerts at inflated prices.

A Canadian Madonna fan is suing ticket companies in Quebec for selling entrance to the pop queen's concerts at inflated prices.

Regis Giguere is furious he had to pay $14.90 (£8.28) per ticket on top of his $95 (€118) entrance fee to the material girl's upcoming 21 and 22 June Montreal shows, which make up part of her Confessions world tour.

He is appealing the return of the tacked-on costs on behalf of all ticket buyers, and hopes to secure $100 (€79) each in damages.

The suit was filed at Quebec Superior Court in Quebec City on Wednesday.

Giguere states ticket companies are taking advantage of their exclusive rights to sell the tickets to impose the extra fees, and claims they violate consumer protection laws.
