The package with the "party" before is a little inflated too, I mean lets be honest $350 for open bar for an hour? I'll party in my hotel room before I go! But the ticket prices really weren't bad. I can't freaking wait to be in the GA PIT watching Gaga!! This makes me think, I've got to start planning what to wear NOW! Yeah I mean, its the inflated pricing for the “extra” stuff that makes the show more monetarily accessible to more fans! Its a smart way to keep tickets prices down so that your fanbase actually can attend. My show isn’t until May and I am already thinking about my outfit ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being a Vegas show, the pricing is set by the venue, not the "Gaga" people. You're going May 30th? Thats awesome. I'm there in June, I took a sigh of relief that I have plenty of time to figure out what to wear. Does one wear old era merch, or get creative??

I was bummed that the dates that I wanted were sold out (February) but then I realized that flying out of Boston at the beginning of February is a death wish and we will probably get grounded because of a blizzard. So May it is! And I get to hang with my girl @Teal Ambition ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying not to feel entitled because I work/volunteer here.... but it sure was a different story back in '09 when mods could meet her for free. *grumbles* Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster?

She could choose to not do meet and greets at all and people will complain. Its not physically possible to do inexpensive meet and greets because she'll be deluged. So she does expensive meet and greets as a limiting factor but then fans complain she's being greedy and doesn't care about "real" fans. You know, you are absolutely correct. Never thought of it from this point of view before! Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.

Even during BTW it was so easy to meet here.. it looks like things changed pre-Joanne for some reason.. I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis.

Even during BTW it was so easy to meet here.. it looks like things changed pre-Joanne for some reason.. Gonna cautiously say at least TWO big things changed: 1. After the BTWB Emma told us all that Gaga lost interest in GGD because of the waves of negativity and criticism coming from this fanbase. That was pretty huge, coming from a GGD mod who pretty much left GGD to work for Gaga directly, and therefore having a direct insight into how Gaga truly felt. (Not to mention Gaga being backstabbed by fans who leaked Brooklyn Nights around that time, and who were being very loose with her phone number and emails and various other confidential deets) 2. The murder of Christina Grimmie in 2016 at the hands of a psychopath at a meet and greet with a gun. You put those occurrences together , along with the odd crazy insanity of fans literally going Gaga for her and screaming her own name at her and going into crazed convulsions of manicness when she leaves her apt or gets in a vehicle, * see 5foot2 for just a teensy taste of that hot mess* -- and you get a Gaga who wants peace and space and to cull out from the crowd.

I didn’t know about point one and also how much the murder had an impact on her.. It’s very sad how things ended up, she’s close to us but yet so far.. maybe M&G just needs to be cancelled?

It’s very sad how things ended up, she’s close to us but yet so far.. maybe M&G just needs to be cancelled? At least made more affordable. About all that can be said is, start saving now for future meet and greets for the tour that accompanies LG6 and you might have enough by the time THAT tour rolls around.

It’s kinda messy to see her.. I moved to Costa Rica so it’s unlikely that she will come here.. I bought the ticket to Enigma but my US visa request was rejected, there is a possible solution but it’s not 100% sure, time will tell, until October it will be clear.. so in some sense, ArtRave might be the last time I saw her I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis.

hELXIG 41,562 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm so frustrated because I think the meet n greet tickets are sold out for the May 30th show already When I go to checkout for the fan club presales it doens't show up as an addon at checkout. FML. Do you think they'll release more at the next presales??? Can anyone give me any insight? I'm supposed to be going with some other people who already have their M&G tix. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 So basically I have to sell the house of my parents, one of my kidneys and lungs and my first born to go to Vegas, see her show and meet her in person? Thanks, but no thanks Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
