Shipper 12,873 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I saw tickets for $300-400 center and those arent bad. Seriously i paid for similar seats at a regular Gaga concert. There are always expensive seats and there are also cheaper ones. Why are we suddenly shocked with this? 💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕📦💕 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromaticainmyhead 6,348 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Lol I remember "back in the day" (it was nearly 10 years ago) when she introduced ARTPOP exclusive area for around a 2000 MAX including seats in front of her piano section, a mini bar, exclusive merch and if I recall rightly a Meet and Greet. EVERYONE was surprised because after all the infamous "Meet me backstage" Fan interactions before this already seemed like a cheap cash grab and against everything she stood for... it's crazy what the situation is today. Has money really become so worthless nowadays? Or is she just under pressure because those companies demand this amount of cash?? insane fan-tas-tique, chic, freak, slaaaay 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is she just under pressure because those companies demand this amount of cash?? insane I remember being shocked back then too because during BTW she said she pulled people from the stage because she didn't like the idea of some rich kids getting to meet her instead of diehard fans. But people justified it as her stage was so insane that they needed the extra money to make things work. And tbh the special zone they were in with drinks etc wasn't that special imo there were better spots But yeah in the past 10 years things have changed a lot I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lg5 1,464 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Those are platinum seats, nothing new! I’ve seen a lot of discourse about the prices and there’s nothing new about the prices really. Platinum options can be outrageous like that and fluctuate due to demand. I don’t agree with platinum pricing but unfortunately that’s how Ticketmaster operates. As for the on stage tables, well, yeah they’re super VIP and there’s people out there that will drop that on a Vegas show. (We don’t get to brag that Gaga is the highest paid in Vegas then get angry when MGM has to make their $100M back that they already paid her) my best advice for Vegas residencies in general, especially Jazz and Piano, is to get into the presale first because there’s always a selection of “normal priced” tickets. I got a greaaaat seat for $120 back during the 2021 leg. The last leg I paid $300 for an even better seat, and I bought it a week before the show because they released more for the regular price. It’s possible to get them at face value, but you have to play your cards right. Edited March 21 by lg5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone loves to tout how big Gaga is and then gets mad when there’s “Gaga” prices. MGM is first and foremost, a money making machine, the prices have NOTHING to do with her or her team. These prices are nothing new. These are all the same prices as the last leg and the leg before that, I’m just seeing less of the standard prices and more dynamic. And that’s because MGM knows they can sell more at the higher price. I got VERY lucky this leg. Back in August I paid $450 for row L in section 103, this morning I paid $460 for Row C aisle seat in 102. Do I wish I could still get early entry GA pit for $250 and be barricade like I did at Joanne? Or $80 pit like at ARTRAVE, or the $200 Chromatica Ball NY pit ticket I got back in 2020. Yeah of course. But I’m also not going to be mad when my favorite artist is doing incredibly well commercially. Vegas is a pay to play city, and MGM and Caesar’s make the rules. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 22,395 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 12 hours ago, River said: Not this kind of VIP, these seats are not for the public, it's for really VIP people, like celebrities, millionaires etc. Can we add something in the misinformation of the OP? People are using that to drag her The most dumb fanbase ever. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to add that these tickets come with early access, a bottle of her a Dom Pérignon, photos on the stage, a meet and greet, individual professional photos with Gaga, and a few other VIP goodies. Plus there’s a good chance Gaga will banter with you on stage (i.e. the videos where she kisses peoples wives, “steals” the husbands watch, etc. At my 2021 date, she even sang a bit of Free Woman for the first time ever to a table that brought up the song!) My friend and I looked into them last leg and considered getting the cheapest ones, but came to our senses and decided to get regular tickets. These are like super super VIP tickets for the ultra rich and the hardcore fans that want the best experience and can afford to do so. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennywise 35,841 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Let's drag her! Just because I cannot afford to go, obviously, to the concert that is on my birthday.

Ultimecia 6,025 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just putting this out there... I paid 45€ to see Björk last December. I just wish Gaga could morph into a more creative, less commercial independent artist... but oh well. CapitalistGa is here to stay. Time. It will not wait, no matter how hard you hold on...
