KeepItCool 104 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (Possible spoiler) Is anyone else concerned about their seats after seeing videos from the first show? The stage is like a box and Gaga is all the way in the back for a good port of the show. Because of the giant screens on each side, it seems that most people sitting on the sides (even in very expensive seats) will have to rely on watching screens to see her at all. If you aren’t sitting right in the center or all the way in the back facing forward it seems like all other views are obstructed. I hope I’m wrong and surprised when I get there but I’m definitely concerned about not seeing much despite the price I paid for tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetal Halcyon 1,564 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I have this concern too, but I think the baseball stadiums in America will not have this issue as much. We’ll see. Chromatica Forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARKDANGER 855 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I have this concern for the Nationals Park show in D.C. I’m hoping that the ballparks have better views for people with side view seats. “I’m on the edge of glory…” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItCool 104 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 The problem is that she’s too far back - everything needs to be brought up further. Some of these side seats (not marked partial view) were over $400 each! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody James 1,473 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 DC goer here! I worry about it as well. I am going to be buying binoculars to help make up for some concern I have. We are very much entitled to out concern given the stage shape, but I blame Ticketmaster for not being as transparent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobina 1,605 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Yup. The moment I saw thise side views my stomach dropped. I'm going to the LA show and my seats are down lower but to the side and weren't cheap. I'll be arguing for some of my money back if I have to look at screens for half the show. I never would have bought them to the side if I had known. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyEnigma 1,072 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 the boxed stage was such a terrible idea especially for a stadium tour...has she had a boxed stage for any of her arena tours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as I know. I've been to BTW, ARTPOP, and Joanne ball and they all had open stages and I had side seats for every one of them with great views.

CharlieQuinn 1,746 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I have the same concern. I have side seats to the right side of the stage and I'm worried I won't be able to see her unless I have to look at the screens . I love her and her concept but not for an stadium tour. This could be a problem for the fans on the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they not just standing around the stage? I See You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItCool 104 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Ugh this is why I loathe stadium shows. No matter what, there are very few great seats. It’s fine for rock concerts but not for pop/theatrical performances. my guess is the further back you are on the sides you’ll be fine (not great) and it will widen the view and of course all the way in the back facing straight ahead. Even the floor seats though, that aren’t directly centered will be looking at screens for the first half hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
