Suspiria 10,683 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 *THIS IS NOT A VEGAS HATE THREAD* don't come for me. I'm just genuinely confused. Her Vegas shows have been consistently sold out night after night, but I can't understand who's buying the tickets? With a regular tour, it's convenient to just casually go see a show near you. You don't need to shell out on travel or hotels etc. With Vegas, there are of course the people who live there - that would make up a couple of shows. Then there are the diehard Gaga fans who travel to see her - again maybe makes up a couple of shows (but it doesn't seem like THAT many fans have flown out to see her). So the rest would have to be tourists who just casually decide to see the show. But I don't really know anyone that would be willing to shell out $100-2000 (multiples if you're taking your family) to just casually go see a show from an artist they're just a casual fan of. The absolute max I would pay to see someone I'm only semi-interested in would be like 30... Plus if you're already on vacation, spending on your travel, hotel, food, attractions, who has money leftover for an expensive concert? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runway 27,876 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Because her show is a Vegas attraction like going to cirque du soleil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMom 12,647 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think Gaga has a more diverse fan base then people think. I was talking to my friend and she said her 66 year old CONSERVATIVE mom was a Gaga fan and would love to see her in Vegas. She isn’t a diehard fan but could easily go to Vegas for the weekend. So maybe older people who can travel to see her and afford the tickets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,240 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 You said it yourself, tourists. Britney did really well for about 4 years and you would think her audience is younger and poorer than someone who would go see Celine. Gaga seems to have collected both millennial and older 40+ audiences that would shell out to see Celine. Its not a surprise to me that she's doing well.

MonsterInThe6 169 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The Vegas strip is basically a revolving door of tourists so there are constantly new people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Tourists. So many people are going to Vegas all the time. It makes sense that people would look to see who's performing when they are there and buy a ticket to the show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboymonsterx 542 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 tourists in Vegas have money.. I've been there many many time to know that money is definitely not an issue lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Ambition 47,805 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Tourists, tourists and more tourists. I have never seen so many people crammed in one area before. The strip is ALWAYS packed at any time of the day. And obviously, there's constantly new people arriving and leaving. ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamite 59,978 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Well Celine was in Vegas from 2003 - 2019 and she hadn't had many hits in the last decade or two (love her though), so it's easy to see how Gaga can have a 2 year long stint if you think about it Like a poem said by a neydy in red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giskardsb 12,565 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 People go to Vegas and see lots of expensive shows. Those who choose Vegas as a destination expect generally to spend money. Plus you can lose more money in 15 minutes at a Craps table than Gaga's tickets cost lol. Gaga has done a pretty fantastic job of broadening her fan base to cover a wide demographic. The people who go are still fans, even if not hardcore LM's. I get the feeling that not all LM's appreciate that, but Gaga is an entertainer for everyone these days, not just hardcore dance pop fans. I get that if all you are going to Vegas for is a Gaga show, it can be considered a very pricey undertaking. However, if you are already budgeting for time in Vegas, including shows and Gambling, then the cost of Gaga is just part of the big picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
