The experience was amazing and definitely worth the money. The seats you get are the best seats in the house. The people around us payed $800-$1000 for their seats each, and they didn't get merchandise or a picture with Gaga. 

 

The food when we got there was really good. They had every salad dressing you could think of, and really good chicken breast filled with artichoke and spinach. The main course was shrimp scampi, but I didn't have any. Ritchy and Montana (dancer) showed up too and I said hi to them, they were really nice. 

Next, we went to the soundcheck. We got to stand on the GA floor. It was crazy hearing the instrumentals and seeing all the lighting with only us there. We heard Alejandro, Perfect Illusion and Telephone. 

Next, the tour guy named Rick talked to us about the stage. It takes about 15 hours to build and is being moved on about 28 trucks. He also said there were about 99 crew on the buses everyday as well. He then talked about the catwalks. The crew calls them surfboards and they are held to the ceiling with very strong wire. They also have people who go into the roof and pull chains to bring up the stage and setup in the arena. He also showed us the main LED screen that was massive, and looked really cool. 

Then we go to go behind the stage. There are stairs that Gaga and the dancers go down to change outfits. He also told us the quickest change of outfits is about 1 min and 38 seconds. The boys and girls are divided, girls being on the right of the stage from the GA view, and boys on the left. There is also a really big prop lift that we got to walk up onto, and got to see her view of the arena.

After that we went into a party room for a few hours and got to listen to some music , have some drinks and snacks (sliders, quesadillas, macaroons, etc...). During this time my group drew numbers and we decided who was standing next to her. 

After 2 hours in the party room we went and waited in a hallway for awhile right before the photo op. 

She was wearing a black top that was sparkly, and her hair was really nice. She had sunglasses on also. I stood second next to her, and touched her back in the photo. After the photo I shook her hand and said "It was so nice to meet you," and she said "You as well honey." I almost got a hug, much like others in my group, but the security had to rush us out. She was very nice and smiling during our photo. She was also stunningly beautiful as well.

Then we got to see the show from an amazing view! Definitely worth it in my eyes.  

So jealous omg

This literally isn't true? It was clear when the tickets went on sale it would be groups of 6. It's one thing to criticize the format but why are so many acting like it's a huge surprise when it was literally spelled out for us months ago?

Granted, I hoped she would spend a little bit of time with the groups.. but it was always going to be 6 per group. 1 group photo. Not sure if people didn't even read the details of their packages? Or they're just feigning ignorance to make this situation seem worse than it is? 

Ok little monster. And I am saying nowhere that the group pic is a surprise, but drag and choose not to see the bigger picture I guess

No you said the group being 6 people was a surprise, which it wasn't. Unless you neglected to read the package details when you bought it. 

also how is "little monster" some type of sarcastic insult. LMAO do you realize what website we're on...

And I'm telling you it was, check atrl. And even if you think it was or I think it wasn't, who cares. Idk if it's because of saltiness or what, but all this bandwagon hate and shade backstage people are getting just for speaking their minds and not liking how things are is so childish. We all have reading comprehension and we knew what we were getting ourselves into. 

So go ahead, quote me with some sassy reply dragging me to get those likes, whatever, but the fact of the matter is that even though we got a description of the package, the execution has been lackluster going by most of the fans' experiences. And you can all waste time conjuring up some ridiculous justifications for the way she's acting at this photo thing when the truth is that she obviously just isn't into it anymore. There is nothing wrong with us lamenting and wishing it were different since the way she was with fans was one of the things that made Gaga Gaga, and some of us were hoping to get a tiny bit of interaction, not just heralded in like sheep  for three seconds

But yeah whatever it's been days and I'm kind of done talking about this. Have a magnificent evening

I'm so painfully jealous. I didn't get to touch her when I met her and there was hardly talking between my group and her. I guess my biggest complaint about this package is not even the picture situation but the inconsistent experiences. I just wish everyone could've had an experience like yours.

[babs 5,093]

I just don't get how it's fair for people to pay 1500$ for a photo with a group of 5 strangers, where you have to sort out if you will be "lucky" enough to stand next to Gaga for 15 seconds or not, and tbh 800$ is way too much for ANY show ticket (just talking about the spot, not other perks). The package sounds lazy for me and I don't agree with this sort of experience for that kind of money but it's ok, I won't get it  

 

[River 115,086]

The point is that it was priced the same as the previous M&G but it's not a M&G.

It should have been priced as 1000$..

It's also not equal, every fan payed the same price but only 2 are getting a "full" experience when they stand next to her..

It's like when a group of 6 is paying for a business class tickets in a flight but there's only 2 glasses of champagne and they need to choose between them who'll get it.. can you imagine the backlash that a company would get?

This is why it's badly done..

Also, it makes Gaga looks like an exhibition at the museum and not like the wonderful human she is and it makes me sad...

So yes, people are disappointed and complaining, but they all still love and appreciate Gaga.

It wasn't. You had several comments in the February 6th thread talking about the six people group. You bought your ticket knowing full well that the group picture was going to be with five other people. The least you can do is stop twisting facts and making things up because you are mad. Why don't you just sell your ticket at this point?

No I'm not going to sell my ticket, I'm going to go backstage, I'm going to talk to her and get my pic, you can seethe. And I'm telling you it was because when the instructions were posted in atrl, people noticed something also changed at the VIP Nation website. Okay, I'll admit I made a mistake if it makes you happier, but who the hell do you think you are? You don't know me. Twisting facts? lol okay Kellyanne Conway, even if that was a mistake on my part, it doesn't make any of the other points any less valid. And you hanging on to this to take away from what I said, just as you did when you obsessively stalked my other posts about her shortening songs, because it seems you're a person that yaAASSSSS GAGAag!!!!""!!!!11 at everything she does and doesn't accept any criticism is so transparent. When I don't necessarily agree with what she does I call her out on her ****. I never said I was mad, my posts aren't angry, so the least you can do is stop twisting facts and making things up because you are obsessed with everything I say and, from the looks of it, pressed.

You were in the discussion here from day one (February 6th) about the group of six people. You twisted facts to try and get sympathy for purchasing your ticket and to make Gaga or her team look like they deceived you. They did not. You knew what you were getting and bought it with full knowledge of the details of the package. 

I'm not stalking you. You just keep repeating things that aren't true. When that happens here, people take those statements and present them as facts elsewhere. Therefore, I call it out when I see it. If you weren't presenting inaccurate information as facts, I wouldn't be quoting you.
