Madonna has quashed the tittle tattle surrounding sales of tickets to her Sticky & Sweet World Tour by announcing that over 90% have now sold out worldwide.

Live Nation, her tour promoters, released the figures after several gossip columns and prominent bloggers had suggested Madonna was struggling to sell tickets for her latest trek around the world.

But the exact opposite is true for the most successful female in the history of pop. Live Nation expects the tour to gross more than $250 million when all is said and done.
