not Chromatica 5,393 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Soooo, I'm thinking about getting tickets for the Paris show (which would be my first time seeing Gaga live) and I've never been to a stadium concert in my life so I'm curious to know – what are the differences and what are your experiences like? So far I've read some really conflicting opinions. Some say that stadiums tend to get overcrowded (whereas arenas are far more intimate), that they don't allow for elaborate stage design (compared to the latter) and that there's some other problems regarding sound and weather and whatnot. On the other hand, there are people saying that nothing compares to the grandeur of stadium shows so idk... Also, what do you think the reasoning behind this tour was? Do you think she wants it to be more epic or did she simply opt for larger venues to cut down on the amount of shows she'll be doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToCult 37,988 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Stadiums are much better experiences than arenas. Those complaining about intimate spaces are acting like they can’t buy tickets closer to the stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABBLYON 2,072 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Well I prefer stadium tours because A) they're outside (most of the time during warm weather) B) more fans can see the show at once C) it allows for a super cool stage. I saw JWT at a stadium and I was in the pit and it was life changing. If you go to Paris show try and get floor/pit tickets. Totally worth it.

GypsyVida 5,882 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I saw the On The Run II tour in Philly (which was a stadium show) and it was amazing. I could see Beyonce just fine. I don't know why people hate stadium shows so much. Stream COWBOY CARTER Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShayCristoforo 10,327 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I wonder if it'll be easier to get tickets. Theoretically, more seats - the better the chances. But since there are so few shows, I think it'll be harder than ever. Which has me worried cuz I didn't get tickets for JWT even through I was on the site right at the start; for both the presale and the general. Luckily my friend got some. Fingers crossed! There's only 1 show in Canada Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter 14 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Benefits to stadium tours: - Cheaper tickets - Outdoor experience - Expensive stage setup - Crowd screams similar to sports games. I don’t understand the hate why fans don’t want Gaga to do an all stadium tour. She’s an amazing performer and did well doing stadium shows in US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

I'll definitely go for either the golden circle or golden pitch. Might as well see the bitch in flesh if I'm going, I've been watching her on screens for 12 years now. 1 hour ago, ShayCristoforo said: But since there are so few shows, I think it'll be harder than ever. Ikr, I feel like getting tickets for this one will be a nightmare of its own. Honestly, I feel like she'll add at least one more date for each, considering they're like 5 days apart. Glad y'all got to see JWT, btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant by elaborate stage design. That’s because JWT stage was suited for an arena tour. Just like how Enigma is suited for a theater. The Chromatica Ball will be suited for stadiums so expect something more elaborate like: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium shows were worse than arena for JWT - they couldn't have any of the bridges cause it was outdoors. Usually arenas are more elaborate i would argue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Nothing is better about stadium shows. It’s less intimate, sound is lesser in quality since it’s outdoors, ticket prices may be more expensive to be seated closer to the stage, it’s an extreme hassle to leave the venue after, and the theatrics/effects and show components are limited due to the venue style.
