AdelaAngelo 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Exactly :) I bought LMZ and still plan to go to the mainstage with zero regrets. Whilst sure it isnt as good as it would be for other shows, the bits that make it worth it - Rising from the floor in the intro - Last chorus of GUY (plus Nein Zedd>>>) - Her bopping to PARTYNAUSEOUS - Aura, MJH, Sexxx Dreams and the chance to throw something on stage - Bad Romance and Swine!! and for me at least, if I can get on the barrier at least you know youre not going to get moved around if the crowd shifts, or possible end up stuck under a runway yepp, the chance to go backstage makes it all worth it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmu 0 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think you're also just paying for peace of mind really. I got it this time because after queuing from 6am for the BTWB I felt it worth paying the extra just to know I would definitely get in within the first couple of hundred people without having to queue for ages. And yes some people might come later with regular GA tickets and get just as good spots but they also might not - it will depend on the venue, the audience that night, where you want to stand etc Also from everything I've read so far there is nothing to suggest that you have to stand at the stage if you have LMZ (although I probably will anyway).

TRYMCNL 143 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I had GA and was surrounded by people with LMZ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke 0 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't think it was worth it and I have LMZ. I also won 4 GA tickets through a radio station and I wish I had a premonition I was going to win them or bought them to begin with cause LMZ sounds like a complete waste to me. It's my own fault - I've bought so many VIP packages to concerts, and for what reason I don't know. They're usually a waste of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmu 0 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I had GA and was surrounded by people with LMZ. But you could say that about any concert - there will always be GA next to early entry unless there is a barrier between them. What's questionable is how long you have to wait to get to the same places with a GA ticket. Now it may be that in this case if people are opting to stand more in the crowd that a GA ticket and a late arrival is enough but I think if you have your heart set on a barrier or a very specific spot LMZ is a much safer bet if you don't want to queue all day. One of the other reasons I often get package tickets is also just that they tend to be easier tho get on release day than GA tickets which often sell out instantly. That's not always the case but it's a factor for me too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedandBlue 287 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I originally had heard that being in that pit in between the runways was the way to go, but I just got back from the MSG show and had an AMAZING time and view. I was number 400 in line and I walked right up to the main stage, front row. A large portion of the show is performed up there and we could still see her when she was on the runway. Being that this was the NY show, it definitely had the most hardcore fans, yet I was still able to get front row with regular GA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetEscape 654 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm attending her show in Athens, and in both cases if there are catwalks (not sure yet, nothing confirmed) or not, I will be standing in front of the main stage. I actually believe it is easier to see her on the catwalks if you have some distance. If you stand right in front of a catwalk, she will be very close to you but she will be above you, so you won't have the best view possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesmu 0 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The problem I have is that I'm 4ft 9" (!) so I basically have to be the front row or the back. If there's even two or three people in front of me chances are I'll see nothing but their backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,195 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've already got LMZ for the first Glasgow show, so I don't know if I can justify spending that money again for the second one, especially if it's fairly common to have a standard GA ticket yet be right next to an LMZ holder. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of merchandise or have the space to store it (I only have a t-shirt from her MB tour), so receiving two merchandise items (for all I know, it could even be the same piece) seems a bit much. The only thing that's making me reconsider is the idea that she may continue with this idea of bringing a fan up on stage. It could be like the BTWB, where she started off with one person, and as the tour went on, she brought up more and more people, until there were, like 10 fans on the stage. As my shows are in October/November, at the tail end of the tour, maybe she'll have expanded upon this concept and you'll have a much higher chance of being picked. And she's bound to pick someone near the very front, as they'll have LMZ. But if your chances of being up close are not affected that much, I'll perhaps just go for a regular GA ticket. I'll probably have more chance getting one of those anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston 10 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I got LMZ last night so I could stand against the railing by the ARTPOP Zone. Was sorta worth it. I was mainly going in hopes to catch Gaga's attention to be pulled up to do the G.U.Y. choreo (if the stars aligned properly). My experience at that spot was a lot different than where I was in ATL in between the main stage and the one catwalk. Honestly, I'd go back to where I was in ATL because my favorite songs were on the main stage and I only got to see her forehead+wig and knees down for those songs. Was a little disappointing. However I got killer pictures/vid when she was on the catwalk and when T.I. came out for Jewels & Drugs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston 10 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have LMZ and I am honestly so confused, everyone is saying different things about where to stand Ok, so here is what I have to say about this diagram.......... The top circle... I stood here in ATL (had GA), closer to the catwalk than the main stage. Half the show I faced the catwalk and the other half I faced the main stage. You get an amazing view of the stage from afar, but you're not being blocked by anything (as long as some asshole doesn't have a sign). When you're watching her on the catwalk, her back is usually faced away from you. However, in my experience, she turned around and reached into the crowd. I got to touch her hand when she did this. The show experience was amazing from here. Couldn't really see her when she was at the piano or on the far catwalk for Telephone and Alejandro. But that'd be where I turned around and watched it on the monitors. The bottom circle... I stood here last night in NYC (had LMZ), close to the barricade and the catwalk. This spot was amazing for when she was on the catwalks. I got to see everything that I missed in ATL, and I got amazing pictures. However, I didn't consider that most of my favorite songs were performed on the stage. So I missed out on that because the catwalk hindered my view. Watching Aura, Swine, Mary Jane Holland, and a few others on the monitor wasn't the same. I did get an amazing video of T.I. and her dancing thought. Honestly, if I could do it again, I'd have done ATL in the bottom circle and NYC in the top. I'm happy I saw the show from all aspects, but it stunk that my second/last show was blocked. Either way the show is amazing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the show is amazing! Thanks for your input :) I'm mostly stoked for MJH and Swine, so I might want to go closer... I also have a letter I want to throw on stage, and my goal for the night is to get picked to go backstage, I want it so bad Where should I stand for this, if you know?

Both people were right in front of the main stage and threw them up when she sat down on the couch before Sexxx Dreams. Both people got pulled back stage. I'd advise throwing it with some object to make it surely noticeable (the girl threw it with a rocker-dressed teddy bear). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of want to stand on the second bubble in that diagram you posted after Sexxx Dreams, just to get a different view. EDIT: Ugh, I'm so torn about this. I want to meet Gaga more than anything, but I was as close as possible to the stage at the Monster Ball, and besides having an amazing view for Just Dance, Teeth and Paparazzi, I barely saw anything and her back was turned to me for more than half the concert, plus the cameraman was blocking my view...
