Fans of pop music queen Madonna flocked to ticket-selling outlets in Metro Vancouver on Saturday to buy tickets for her first-ever tour stop in Vancouver this fall.

Tickets for the pop icon's Sticky and Sweet Tour went on sale at 10 a.m. through TicketMaster and at B.C. Place Stadium, the event venue.

The North American leg of the tour will begin in New Jersey on Oct. 4th, arrive in Vancouver on Oct. 30th, and includes only two other Canadian stops in Toronto and Montreal.

Some Metro Vancouver residents decided to camp out overnight in the hope of securing tickets -- but a few didn't have much success as they would have liked.

"We've been here since 4 p.m. yesterday sitting in this exact spot," said Alyssa Fox, with her friend Hayley Yuill.

"I used to watch the 'material girl' when I was little," Yuill said. "It was retro by then."

But Fox and Yuill found their overnight camp-out did not give them any advantage when it came to actually purchasing concert tickets.

Ticket seller TicketMaster handed out numbers, then randomly chose a lot and began selling tickets at that number.

"Basically you stay in the same order (in line) you are now. But we don't know who is number one -- we'll find that out based on which number is drawn first," a TicketMaster representative told CTV News.

Yuill and Fox were shocked to find out the sequence of the ticket sales would not be according to the lineup where they waited all night.

"Note to TicketMaster -- write on your website when you're having a random call for numbers and not first-come-first-served, please," said Fox.

Antonetta Gatti was likewise discouraged to find out that someone who didn't come early might get better tickets than her.

"I'll be really upset (if that happens)," she said. "I've been here since 6:15 and I draw 52 and John Doe comes at 10 o'clock and draws one."

A spokesperson for B.C. Place told CTV News the stadium's capacity for the concert is largely dependent on the size and configuration of the stage, but it could fit upwards of 50,000 people.
