Tips For First Gaga Concert?

[DitaDolla 10,955]

Hey gheys

so I’ve finally decided that it’s time for me to go see Gaga live and attend The Mayhem Ball, after 7 years of stanning her

I would like for you guys to share some tips you have based on past experiences, and also help me decide: getting GA (stand) tickets or sitting?

thanksss

Use the handicap, gender neutral, or womens' toilets unless you're looking for drugs or to hook up. I have been shocked and appalled at the depravity every time I've been to a Gaga show

Make sure you don't get sued before the concert

I haven't done it myself, but a lot of people recommend earplugs to protect your hearing. The speakers are really loud

Buy a bottle of water BEFORE the concert starts, and keep it with you, specially if you get field tickets, or a front row location. My show was during the summer, and surviving dehidration was a whole thing. 

Stay hidrated.

Be aware that whilst the majority of people at the concert will be the nicest ever - there is a reason why we are called monsters !

 

I had one of my worst nightmares at the BTWB in Vienna (yet artRave was simply a dream)

 

you can be who you are at the concert so just enjoy yourself  - if it is in summer make sure you stay hydrated

I always go for front row sitting.  I reserve my seat in the first minute of the presale.

Even if you have a reserved seat, show up hours early to mingle.  During artRAVE only a few people were inside during the opening act.  Most people were out in the hall mingling until Gaga was about to take the stage.

I would 100% recommend getting floor tickets if you can. It's so special dancing down on the floor with everyone, the energy is palpable and electric – nothing quite like it. But you must get in line early to get a good spot on the floor – so it's a long, gruelling day of waiting in line for a few hours, and then a couple hours inside waiting for the show to begin... it can be quite a lot, but sooooo worth it imo. And yes, stay hydrated, and enjoy the show!

Get into the monster pit and chat with other monsters in line   I never usually feel talked out when it comes to Gaga topics but after a weekend in a monster-invaded town even I'm talked out and exhausted 

Most are nice, but watch out for people who try to pretend they have friends upfront and stand your ground...And I really liked having some iso energy gel with me after waiting a lot of hours.

And just experience the show and don't bother recording if you don't absolutely need it. Most of the recording will just have your voice and the people's around you anyway
