Whispering 18,865 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just now, River said: I don't know those details about Bieber, I just know what I read here and what were the comments and it's sufficient for me to express my opinion. So charge the people with a "Backstage Experience" price and not with a M&G price if it's not the same thing.. Because to do a tour backstage is not the main reason why the fans are buying this ticket, they just want the picture and at least 5 minutes with her, to hug her, give her a present and that's it.. And at the end.. yo meet her and you have 5 seconds to greet her - M&G. If you don't know what was promised, then there is no way to know what was going on in those situations. That's what they did. It was all up front. Along with the backstage experience you get a group pic with Gaga before the show. No where did it say five minutes, hugs and presents. It's not a meet and greet. Backstage Experience with a group picture before the show. That's what people paid for and that's what they got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slutlamp 90 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I agree. I've always seen her. I met her at the btwb, greatest day ever. Now I'm about to drop $200 on GA which is way more than I've ever paid. Joanne is my favorite album but I'm debating on going if she's just on the stage with no opener (I've always loved the openers, especially madeon and spw), does her thing, doesn't connect or talk to us, then just leave. I miss feeling like she actually cared about anything... her shows were so full of life and friendship! Do you all think I should still go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swine 504 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 People are clearly missing the point of the thread. Nobody is questioning if the fans are getting what is advertised. Nobody is questioning if the fans bought the package knowing the differences from now and previous backstage packages. Nobody is questioning if people know that they will not talk to her for hours like it used to be, or that they will not get a photo alone with her. What people are questioning is Gaga's opinion on this. What does Gaga think about this ridiculously overpriced package, considering everything she used to do in previous tours. People are questioning Gaga's morals and comparing them to what they used to be. People are pointing out that she is no longer the Gaga that hated the commercialism of the music industry, that bragged about being intim with the fans and having a close relationship with them. People are trying to understand who she is now, and expressing their disappointment in a civilized way. There's no need to get salty about it or go after people. It's an opinion. GagaDaily doesn't have to be a bed of roses. It's a forum, people can share views and opinions, as long as they respect each others. Chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much different from the artRAVE with individual photos and an in depth conversation for the same price. Well if Ticketmaster says it in advance then what's the problem? You're told in advance what you're buying for 1500$. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would these random GP women want to pay for a backstage tour? Most people in that category are going with a group of friends and sitting in the cheap seats. They are getting a great show and a fun night out because the upper class paid for the more expensive packages and seats. When you go to a sporting event, you get the nice arena and all the food vendors because of all those people in the box seats. You pay a tenth of what they pay to watch a game. That's how it works. Same with big tours and concerts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 M&G tickets are a waste of money anyway. Stalk her out of her hotel. Chances are you're almost guaranteed a picture and it's for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't spend it on this meet and greet but you could do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS The whole reasons people are even on this site or still come here is because they liked certain things more about Gaga that other pop stars didn't do...like stand against commercialized bullshit or treating the underdog with fairness. If Gaga literally isn't representing these things any longer, people that were loyal to her since friggin 2009 should definitely get a say and have the right to question her. The fans didn't give Gaga a career to blindly follow a pop star. They followed Gaga because they thought she represented something different! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about what has been advertised, it's the past experience and the present one when meeting her.. maybe it's not M&G, maybe it's just a tour, but those fans are standing next to her in the same room, breathing the same air she's breathing at the same moment but they have 30 seconds and then bye bye. and they are told not to touch her! something that it's against Gaga, gaga is all about touching and loving.. She could do a group picture, fine and also she could stand there for 5 minutes with the group of 6, let each of them speak and say something, quick hugs and that's it.. the experience ended. Before it was a very close experience with her and now it's quick and cold, like scanning a product and going home..

You aren't getting the irony that Gaga has always made herself as ACCESSIBLE as possible even in HER PEAK and it is ironic that in the era she wants to be the most relatable, she is being the most distant from those very "disenfranchised" groups she claims to want to reach. I mean.....this is Lady Gaga we're talking about. She has literally built her career trying to touch base with the underdog.....never been passive about it.

Mikey Monster 1,561 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 TBH if I was gaga and saw what happened to Ariana in Manchester I would do the same thing. Something like that could easily happen at one of gagas concerts cuz she is the ultimate star and has probably the most controversial career. The fact that concerts are the new target is terrifying and I don't blame gaga at all for not getting too close to people she doesn't know. But I understand the frustration sweetie especially cuz of the price but I don't think it's personal ❤️❤️❤️ Mikey McCampbell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
