Madonna, ever the pioneer, is the first artist to cut a deal with online “ticket brokerage” (or shall we say, scalper) StubHub. Girl is down to make some cash.

StubHub, which is owned by eBay, works like it’s parent online auction house.  People put tix up for bid, and highest offer wins.

Madonna has entered into the first ever artist deal where in she not only gets a base fee, but a percentage of final sales of her concert tix. So, the higher you buy her tix for, the more she makes.

Mind you Madonna tix already don’t come cheap.  She charges upward of $300 for the best seats in the house, already more than the average music lover should be paying for a concert.
