Tony and Lady's Meet & Greet on May 30th. A one man's experience.

I'm kind of sad that she's become like this. It's standard "superstar" behavior.

Lady Gaga of 2009-2011 would rather not have a meet'n'greet at all than treat her fans like this. 

​all of this. the amount the guy paid was extraordinary and even if people would find it weird, or ""sad"" to pay money to meet someone, he did pay 1900 dollars for it and he should get what was promised to him. it is becoming a bit weird that gaga would prefer meeting kathy griffin than actual fans who have paid for the goods. dissapointing af.

I have mixed feelings about this. This is the way the majority of most meet and greets go: in and out. We're just a very lucky fanbase because she usually gives a bunch of people this experience for free and its normally so much more than a photo and maybe an autograph (although for some reason autographs are normally not allowed anymore). Furthermore I'm pretty sure the VIP package says it includes 'a photo opportunity', not 'time with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett'.

However, when you're paying so much for something, you would want a little more than 10 seconds and a photo which only really has the purpose of being posted on social media. I can see why this guy is disappointed. I think Gaga must think her Cheek To Cheek audience are mostly rich Tony fans. I just hope that the fan experiences go back to normal again when Gaga is doing solo tours.

​He ate my heart and then he ate my brain.

I'd really want to know the reason for this Of course Gaga is a busy lady but she should have at least a few minutes for a M&G - the fans have payed for it. That guy should get his money back, because after all IT IS about money...

[Bye 3,947]

Nothing justifies letting fans pay obscene amount of money in order to be treated like this, whether intentional or not. If artists think they won't be able to spend time with their fans either get rid of M&G or make it cheaper. I know it's ultimately the fans' choice to buy suck tickets, but to me it seems very manipulative. If this is true I'm very disappointed.

I really do not believe ANY human being is worth this ludicrous amount just to physically MEET them.

Not anyone in the world ever. We're human beings ffs not prized possessions

This is nothing toward Gaga btw as I'm sure she does not fix prices etc, it's just absurd tbh

I love gaga however in my opinion celebrities (famous people) should NEVER have to charge fans for a meet and greet- It is basically like prostitution- What's next? charging to breathe the same air? do you know who the **** I am?   we are the ones who made your dreams come true, if it wasn't us for us *fans* buying your music, You'd be another nobody!  * This is the Only issue I have with gaga, she is a loving, accepting crazy talented woman with a big heart, just dislike the fact she charges us fans to meet her! rant over--- Yes not expecting everyone to agree with this, it's ok! we're all entitled to have our opinions!  and like I said, love gaga & monsters! (to be fair most of the money she makes does go towards the incredible tours etc) just disagree with charging thousands of dollars to meet fans! it's madness

shame i feel bad for him 

1900$ 

1900 is too ****ing much  

[DeleteMyAccount 11,881]

Isn't this standard for M&Gs though?  Plus there was 20 people waiting to meet Gaga and Tony.  The expectation of being able to talk to Gaga for a longer period of time is based on Gaga herself.  Going into this I don't think the guy should be that surprised.  Did he pay to talk to her for 5 minutes or did he pay to just say hi and get a picture?  That there is the reason.  Also, the amount of the M&G has nothing to do with Gaga.  She probably had no idea it was even that much.  The only time I feel Gaga will actually spend time with fans is when she herself invites them backstage.  

[Navy 495]

The fact that you people are acting like this means she's not into her fans, doesn't care, and isn't hubble and becoming a "typical celebrity" disgust me

shut the **** up, how stupid can we be? 

and you people saying as well about selling out for the dog food... Shut the hell up what is wrong with you guys?

Gaga is amazing with her fans end of story, this is the women that meets a crap to. Of people outside of her apartment and brings fans backstage for free as a few examples. Clearly you guys don't know Gaga and need to get your panties out of a bunch.

this is sad and sucks, but it happens sometimes. Not thinking anything less of Gaga for it.

shes as humble as it gets

I went to the second Hollywood show and I felt so bad for those front row people cuz the $2000 tix paid for a hard metal foldable chair while people behind had picnic - esque chairs that looked MUCH more comfortable...

That just sounds so bad...he literally had a meet...and greet... Ok goodbye  

 

[Slayer 9,227]

I have a feeling the brevity of these meet-and-greets was more to do with Tony's people rather than Gaga's.

[GagaMyBlood95 9,915]

But lets be real, we can't blame Gaga or Tony, they are on a schedule that must be followed and were probably tired after the show so they didn't really think about the time for meet and greet - if it lasted for 10 seconds or 5 minutes..

I'm sure if Gaga knew this, she would feel really bad for this guy cuz he's obviously a loyal fan. I hope she sees this and gives him a proper answer.

[HighwayGuy 1,498]

Guys I don't think Gaga properly knew anything ABOUT this

At the ArtRave she made sure the Meet & Greets were as long as possible because she knew how expensive they were and what was promised 

I think what happened here is that Tony's management has said to her "there's some people who have paid for a picture with you and Tony" I don't think she had any idea of the price or the fact that they were told they could have some time with her 

I have my faith in her and I trust that she didn't realise what had happened at all 

[isaacanthony 142]

Boohoo.

Cry me a river, build a build a bridge and get over it. 

 

your expectiations should never be so high when doing a meet and greet. Yeah, she's done more exclusive meet and greets with her OWN tours but this not just her...this is her and Tony. Things won't be the same.  

For this guy to post something like this is just attention seeking. Just my opinion. 

LM DON'T attack me.
