Madonna at O2 Arena: How to refund tickets as Celebration World Tour is postponed

Madonna has postponed her world tour, which included an extended stop in the capital. The Hung Up hitmaker was set to perform a total of six shows at the O2 Arena at the end of the year.

The announcement follows health concerns for the singer after Madonna was reportedly admitted to hospital and spent time in an intensive care unit for a bacterial infection. While the chart-topping artist is expected to have a full recovery, her upcoming shows have been postponed for the time being.

Madonna’s talent manager and producer Guy Oseary confirmed the tour update in a statement on Instagram. The statement explained: "At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour."

The message went on to add that more information would follow soon, including new start dates for both the tour and the rescheduled shows. At this time, the O2 Arena website has not clarified any further information regarding the London shows.

The singer’s celebration tour was set to kick off next month. The worldwide string of shows were planned to honour Madonna’s iconic music career and look back on her four decades at the top of the charts.

As explained on the O2 Arena website, ticket holders will only be able to get a refund if the show is either cancelled or rescheduled. Following the tour postponement news, the venue is yet to clarify further details on how the London shows will be affected.

This means fans will have to wait until an official announcement for their particular shows to see if they are able to refund their tickets or if they can still make the rescheduled show.
