Tinnitus15 51,594 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Soo I was checking ticketmaster for Gaga’s Vegas return and was quite surprised that the shows were not selling that fast. For example the opening night looks like this another date: how does Vegas work? Are they selling out last minute or? other dates are kinda “struggling” too. We’re talking about Gaga in Vegas, which is considered to be a hot event, especially after her long-awaited return It’s not a shade towards Gaga. I’m just curious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat 6,162 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Tickets are just too expensive, even seats far away from the stage are still hundreds of dollars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 117,772 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 people just takes the time to plan the trip to vegas or buying them on the same day of the show, it's always slow with residencies, it will be sold out last minute. It was the same with the previous shows. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. $550 for tickets at the back of the mezzanine is ridiculous. Most people have to fly to Vegas and considering how soon these shows are, flights will be very expensive. Add in lodging and food and that's thousands of dollars. They should have either announced the shows back in March or April, or have scheduled them for the holiday season if they wanted to announce in early August. Selling nearly 6,000 seats in less than a month is gonna be a struggle. currently streaming Zombieboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah 26,981 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 they'll sell out within the next 2 weeks, don't worry. vegas residencies don't sell like concerts. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lextyr97 20,059 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 They will sell but the announcement this close to the start was certainly a choice when 99% of the audience has to plan an entire trip to go there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 27,076 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 It's because what's available are either exorbitantly marked-up resale tickets or astronomically priced "platinum" tickets. It's hard to find any good seats at standard pricing. The prices should drop closer to the dates, especially if people buy them in person from the theatre. In short, blame Ticketmaster's stupid dynamic pricing which freezes out people who can't afford to pay $2000+ for third row. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nATAH 50,433 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 some of y'all are forgetting this is a residency, not a world tour and that las vegas is a MAJOR tourist destination the majority of the audience won't be people flying in just for the show, it'll be the people already there/going there vegas sees about 600,000 visiters a week, i'm sure ticket sales will sky rocket on the week of the show mother, what must i do?

SpadesToStart 3,505 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I might have gone to it, but I have a whole ass vacation to LA planned for September, so my fun money has already been allocated for 2023. Maybe announce the show dates more than 1 month in advance… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nite 5,596 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I think it'll still sell as people plan their Vegas activities. A lot of people are also trying to go to both Gaga and Adele. I would've loved to go but I'm in Europe and couldn't do it on that short notice. Unrelated but I never noticed her artist journey video on Ticketmaster starts at that performance at the Bitter End so cute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermioneT 1,998 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Well, the amount of people who are able to make use of these dates is limited. Fans from Europe, Asia or other continents have to be pretty wealthy to afford flight, accommodation, food and the tickets above - and at least here in Europe flight prices to the US are not doable for normal people anymore.

Modern Ecstasy2 2,202 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I’m a bit worried because of how short notice it was announced. I was able to make it happen because I’m self employed. But she is so in demand I’m sure it will be fine in the end. “Delete this thread that person is not Gaga he is a hot blonde twink” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
