Im Brazilian and I’m gonna speak about my feelings while I’m Brazil. So there’s a lot of issues. When she went in South America back in 2012 with the BTWBall all those controversies between Alejandro and Judas made it to twist the pov about a lot of people towards her. Religion is always a hot topic in Brazil. Then they were struggling to sell the tickets when the shows were about to happen, also there was a lot of other concerts booked at the same time around including madonna’s MDNA tour which was another thing because… well, you know. Other thing is tickets can be REALLY expensive to get in South America, plus it seems like most of the companies that work on this business can be pretty messy so the logistics process can be hard and expensive to bring a show to latam because of that also schedule and other stuff. I feel like at this time, after the plot twist on Gaga’s career she could easily get stadiums packed in South America but then we have another serious issue which is her health situation and it does not make things easy for her crew and to the logistics. Probably there’s more things that takes a lot of discussion backstage but in summary I think those are the main reasons she is not able to do latam right now.

TimotheeChalamet 4,872 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Now I'll say something very controversial. I used to feel for them, the Brazilian little monsters community is huge and I understand a Lady Gaga concert could lift up the feelings towards the various issues going on in the country even for a night but they rapidly became unbearably annoying to me: like every comment in her posts or tweets or music videos or everything is "Gaga come to Brazil!" even when the post is about something serious or completely different. I get it but I doubt she will change her mind so easily so why bug everyone's experience on social media by writing countless comments about her not coming to your country?

freebit 6,119 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Aw, I feel so bad for them. They are ride or die. And they got so close with Rock in Rio. They should try to @ livenation or something. I don't think she has much say in where she goes, my understanding is that they put her where they think the money will be. Like, for example, a lot of artists don't go to Australia because it's expensive to ship the stage overseas for a smaller amount of time & $$$$ compared to the US and Europe.

It's not very profitable. Gaga toured Latin America in 2012 and only two or three out of maybe 15 dates sold out, some dates were only like 60% sold out. They did a lot of last-minute deals like buy 1 get 2 free. Her concert in Sao Paulo did well though. Also, purchasing power is relatively low so they can't ask much for tickets, while getting the entire team and stage to Brazil must cost quite a lot. Japan she doesn't skip because it's extremely profitable. Average ticket prices for Gaga are around $200 there. With three dates in Saitama (Tokyo) back in the BTWB times she grossed 18 million dollars, almost the same as the 20 million dollars from 8 tour dates in South America (so excluding Central America). If she tours Latin America again, it would only make sense to go to Brazil because that's pretty much the only place in South America where she sustained a loyal fanbase big enough to sell out one or two stadium dates.

Sneaky Oliver 21,353 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I understand the shows in LATAM might not be the most profitable but what really bugs me is how she had the chance to come without spending that much with bringing the stage: Rock In Rio. I’m not talking about the one she had to cancel due to her pain back then, but Rock In Rio is happening again this September. Yet her team chose to skip it!!! Chromatica was a huge success here. It’s the biggest debut ever in the brazilian Spotify. I’m sure a lot of fans from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay would be able to attend RIR.

Guest Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 She only toured South America once with BTW. To the people talking about shows in LATAM not being profitable... Ask Coldplay, They've sold out 10 shows in my country for about 74k people each (Argentina, in one of our worst economic periods) which would leave about 47000000 dollars out of ticket sales alone (with the average ticket being around 60 dollars) not counting merchandise, other brand deals or the super cheap 20 bucks tickets they offer after they sell out. If I'm not mistaken they have 8 shows in Brazil for, I assume, a similar ammount of people per show. Touring SA is worth just for the money those two countries could bring, add Chile and Uruguay whose economies are way better and it is quite profitable. Gaga could definetely pull 3 in Brazil, 2 in Argentina, 1 in Chile and 1 in Uruguay and make it profitable. If it's a full on Latin American leg, add a couple dates in Mexico too, maybe some other Central American countries. However, I've come to accept she won't tour LATAM again, I'm most likely emigrating at some point ( thanks tax funded university for an engineering degree and thanks free healthcare but f*ck every single politician here, they've ruined the economy, like seriously 6% inflation per month ) so my best chances are moving to northern Europe and catching a show there, or Australia and actually being able to save money.

insight 2,428 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It's not lucrative for her to go to Brazil only for one show. The only way Live Nation would agree to do this is if she had a full blown Latin American leg of the tour with the certainty that all stadium shows will sell out.

I can relate to it making the social media experience a bit annoying. When I see other South American or Latinamerican mosnters in general, if and when they ask they ask for a LATAM tour, not just their country. It does rub me the wrong way sometimes even if I can relate to the feeling of wanting Gaga to perform in my country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurem 17,800 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It’s really mind boggling that she skipped Latin American with last couple of tours. They’re such hardcore fans, I don’t understand why they would pay them dust like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantDejavu 571 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Let's just agree that "world tours" are just not what they used to be in general. Artists used to tour like 2 yearswith different legs and more than the US and Europe. These days, tours take like 3 months lol. I get it has an impact on your life but it's part of the job and honestly the least you could do to thank people buying your work and making you able to live wealthy.... Note that this isn't just about Gaga but about artists in general! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
