Arenas or Stadiums?

[Meredith Grey 3,134]

I so badly want stadiums but does anyone else think it’s getting too late to announce a stadium tour for Summer 2025? She’d either have to be done in September or come in 2026. It’s seeming like we’re getting a fall arena tour.

Any other possible scenario I’d think would be a mix of stadiums and arenas if not full stadiums

The only one I thought stuck the landing was Renaissance tbh. She did a good job moving all through it and the vibe was so high (at least at my dates) that you didn’t fully mind any distance from her or the stage plus it was filmed interestingly so the screens were genuinely cool to watch 

Honestly yes, ive been to that show worried about the stadium, but it did not feel like one. I would imagine Taylors Eras tour was the same. 

I went to Madonnas stadium tour (Sticky & Sweet), got the best seated tickets thats VIP, and could not enjoy the show at all!

Most likely stadiums for ultimate profit. There's a chance it could be a mix of arenas and stadiums. I do prefer arenas but stadiums are easier to get tickets and it means your fave makes bank for bragging rights and legacy purposes. I'd like her to do an all-stadium tour so that she can finally topple TMB's total, which is still her bestselling tour of all time with $227 million (not adjusted for inflation) and she deserves a tour in the big league totals like the other big female pop acts like Taylor, Madonna, Beyonce and Pink. This is why I wish the Mexican and Singaporean dates were included in this tour because they're going to make so much money and it'll be a waste to not include it as part of one big tour. Maybe the Singapore dates are their own thing so she's out of the exclusivity deal for the tour and can tour the rest of Asia properly. I just want her to show what she's made of and make serious money by touring in as many places as possible, she deserves it. If she's got enough dates and plays her cards right, she could easily have the biggest female tour of the year. After Shakira, the only big female touring this year who can earn serious money is Beyonce and she's only doing 30 dates, so Gaga could break it and it would be beyond amazing if she could.

it’ll be stadiums. i had a very poor experience with sound at a stadium concert once so i’m very wary of stadium shows now. it’s a lot of money to spend on a show that i might not hear from the nosebleeds, whereas i’ve had nosebleeds at arena shows and could still see and hear perfectly. obviously i’ll do it for Gaga, but i’ll always wish i got to see her in an arena 

i kinda wish she’d do an arena residency in major cities similar to Harry Styles’s setup, it was so easy to get tickets to that too because i had 15 different nights to choose from.

I was thinking this too! Similar to Harry Styles’ last tour. I love Gaga in an arena, the sound just hits so much better and it feels more intimate.

With the demand, she would have to play so many shows at each arena, or tickets would be difficult to get. I say a large scale stadium tour is best for this time in her career. 
 

I do fear it’s getting too late to announce a summer stadium tour, but she could play shows into the fall in the US. 
 

Unfortunately, I’ve come to terms with Gaga most likely doing a tour in 2026 and just the cluster of shows she’s already announced for 2025.

Alexandra fits only 10.000 people, that's not the size of an average arena. She used to play Ziggodome in Amsterdam a lot and that fits 17.000 people and it feels big, but you can still see her very well. 

The difference between a stadium or an arena btw is moreso if it has a roof or not and the layout and not so much the capacity.

I saw the Chromatica Ball in Paris in a soccer stadium with 78.000 people, which was magical. I saw it again in The Netherlands in a 34.000 seat arena/stadium (the roof can open and shut) and that felt way more intimate and it seemed like Gaga enjoyed this a lot. 

The stadiums in the US however seem less intimate because theres a lot of empty floorspace causing many seats to be further from the stage because of the shape of the venues.

I hope she plays a mix of arena's and stadiums in Europa, depending on her popularity in the countries. 

The chromatica ball had baseball stadoums, that’s why it had a lot of empty floor space . If she’s doing NFL stadiums the situation will be different

I love both but it depends on the organisation.

For Gaga in Düsseldorf they handed out free water in line which helped not dehydrate !

I have bad eyes so in an arena even with seats I see something but for stadium I would have to take standing tickets and line up early. I will go for sure and make friends in the line so I can leave for food - this guy needs a lot and I am not talking about the beast :P 

At this point she will do stadiums because the demand is there.
