Lady Gaga Tickets In Europe Listed Up To 90% Below Face Value On Secondary Market

On November 8th, Lady Gaga will land in Barcelona, seeking to take back her crown as “Queen of Pop,†a title given to her by Rolling Stone in 2011. However, her most recent solo album, ARTPOP, has not had the most outstanding reception when compared to her prior work. It seems as though her little monsters are hoping for something more to convince them before investing time and money to see her live.

So much so that, according to Ticketbis, some users across Europe are selling their tickets to upcoming Lady Gaga concerts at way below the face price. The average price of a ticket, according to web sales figures, suffered a 32% drop from the artist’s last concert in Barcelona.

The competition for selling distressed tickets is so fierce that Gaga fans don’t seem to care enough about losing out on their investment, with tickets selling at a 50% to 90% discount throughout different seating categories. That means fans can pay as low as $4.70 to see the famous “Pop Queen†in action on November 8th at Palau Sant Jordi (St. Georges Palace) in Barcelona. Essentially, for the price of your morning newspaper and a coffee you can see a multi-platinum artist live in one of the most charming cosmopolitan cities the world has to offer.

As cheap as Lady Gaga tickets are being sold in Europe, the same can’t be said for her shows in America. Her recently announced tour with Tony Bennett has forced more dates to be added due to a high demand for tickets.

Across Gaga’s ArtRave Ball Tour this past summer, the secondary market average was $168.79. While the get-in price went as low as $25 for some dates, the typical range was from $45-$65.

Fellow pop star Kylie Minogue went through a similar experience in Europe during the weeks prior to her show at Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid, Spain. Only 6,000 people attended the event, which is a surprise considering the venue holds 14,000.

Resellers are the ones who are selling for 90% cheaper price and I can clock you with info from other site that it's around 100 tickets for that price..

For Barcelona, there are less than 100 tickets being sold at below face value: http://www.ticketbis.com/en-us/lady-...ickets/ev48268

For Birmingham, all tickets are being sold at above face value: http://www.ticketbis.com/en-us/lady-...ickets/ev59289

For Glasgow, no tickets are being sold: http://www.ticketbis.com/en-us/lady-...ickets/ev59290
