Tickets on sale Saturday for Madonna's appearance at Michigan film fest

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Tickets go on sale Saturday for Madonna's one-time-only appearance at the Traverse City Film Festival.

But don't bother trying to order them by phone or online. They'll be available only at the State Theatre in downtown Traverse City, where the pop megastar will show her newly released film, "I Am Because We Are," on Aug. 2.

Festival founder Michael Moore announced recently that Madonna would personally introduce the documentary, which describes the plight of impoverished people in the African nation of Malawi.

Madonna and Moore are friends and Michigan natives.

The theatre seats about 540 people. Tickets cost $25 each and Moore said Wednesday that all the money from the ticket sale will go to Madonna's Raising Malawi Foundation.
