Pop star Madonna has canceled her concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia scheduled for August 20 reportedly over poor ticket sales.

Promoters have denied this to be the main reason, even though local media reports said they had sold only 7,000 of a planned 63,000 tickets in a city with a population of 250,000.

"The reason for the cancellation is unforeseen logistical difficulties," said Laszlo Borsos, managing director of Live Nation in Budapest, overseeing Madonna's tour in eastern Europe.

"There is no problem with ticket sales, absolutely."

This is the second concert Madonna has canceled since July. A gig in the French city of Marseille was scrapped after the stage on which she was supposed to perform there collapsed killing two workers.

The company organizing the concert of pop star Madonna in Bulgaria have confirmed the event would take place as scheduled on August 29, 2009.
