Default Money from high priced Madonna tix help her live large on the road.

Quote:
Madonna fans who'll shell out up to $384.50 a pop for her June shows at Madison Square Garden can at least take solace that the do-re-mi is going to a good cause: Madge's creature comforts on the road.
The tireless terpsichorean, who rehearsal spywitnesses say at 47 is in better shape than ever, will perform crowd-pleasing classics like "Ray of Light" and "Like a Virgin," and hits from her 1.4 million-selling "Confessions on a Dance Floor." And she'll puddle-jump between 21 cities from L.A. to Amsterdam, in a private jet, natch.

Kids Lourdes, 9, and Rocco, 5, will be running around the world's finest hotels like Eloise at the Plaza, since the diva has insisted they and hubby Guy Ritchie and nannies need an entire floor wherever they go.

Every one of her dancers and band members down to the last maraca player will wear couture by Stella McCartney and Jean Paul Gaultier, with numerous costume changes. And she'll need those oxygen facials every day, along with a team of skin specialists in tow, our sources say.

The profits will also go to prophets: The Artist Occasionally Known as Esther has demanded 40 free tickets for rabbis and fellow kabbala-following pals at each venue, with 50 more for celebrity schnorrers, er, friends, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Lindsay Lohan. She also wants 15 cases of Kabbalah water for every show, sources say.

But all this is just a drop in the bucket from what her shows are projected to earn. Her 2004 "Re-Invention" tour - the concert tour of the year - raked in $125 million.

Does anyone else remember her last tour? When she gave a bunch of front row seats to Kaballah followers so they'd be 'near her' for 'support' at each venue, those exclusive tickets were on ebay within minutes.
