Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated return to Australia in December has just gotten even more exciting!
Due to overwhelming demand, an extra stadium show has been added to her schedule, giving fans even more opportunities to see their idol live in concert.
The Madness Begins: Fans Face Long Wait Times for Tickets
On Monday, Little Monsters flocked to the pre-sales for Lady Gaga’s Mayhem Ball shows, but many were left frustrated with long waiting times.
The high demand for tickets led to some fans experiencing delays, but the excitement was palpable. As one fan noted, “I’ve been waiting years for this moment, and I’m not going to let a little wait time get in the way!”
New Show Added in Melbourne!
To meet the incredible demand, a new concert has been added at Melbourne’s Marvel Arena on December 6.
This is in addition to the previously announced shows at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, and Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Mastercard and Vodafone pre-sales for the second Melbourne show will go live on Wednesday, giving fans another chance to secure tickets.
The Great Ticket Debate: Dynamic Pricing or Not?
Some fans took to social media to express their outrage over the high ticket prices, with some claiming that dynamic pricing was in effect.
However, Ticketmaster has denied these allegations, stating that “tickets were priced in advance of the sale and set at the individual seat level.”
Ticketek, the official agency for the Sydney show, also confirmed that there would be no dynamic pricing for the concert.
What’s Driving the Demand?
It’s been 11 years since Lady Gaga last toured Australia, and her recent comeback show at Coachella has only added to the excitement.
Fans are eager to see their favorite pop star perform live, and the demand for tickets is expected to remain high.
Ticket Prices: What You Need to Know
Before the pre-sales opened, fans were warned that ticket prices would range from $118.68 to $1,586.76, with a handling fee of $7.95 per order.
While some fans were able to snag tickets at lower prices, others reported being quoted prices of over $500 for nosebleed seats.
The Resale Market: Beware of Bots and Touts!
As with any high-demand event, the resale market is already flooded with bots and touts offering to sell “extra tickets” at inflated prices.
Fans are warned to be cautious when purchasing tickets from third-party sellers to avoid being scammed.
