Does anyone know why the Toronto show pre-sale time has moved? It used to be this morning, now they're saying Wednesday?

I believe it was always supposed to be Wednesday.

The artists can do something as has been seen with Oasis recently, I’d have thought they’d have considered this because now it’ll be a room full of people who only know Bad Romance. Also, what’s with the UK being all seated, what a joke!

Yes artists 100% have a say in this. As well as tickets prices. 
If it's that expensive and unfair, it's because she allowed it. 

The Cure's frontman recently called out Ticketmaster and artists who use it on it
"Smith has long been a critic of the practice, calling it “a greedy scam” in 2023 and then elaborating in 2024: “We didn’t allow dynamic pricing because it’s a scam that would disappear if every artist said, ‘I don’t want that!’ But most artists hide behind management. ‘Oh, we didn’t know,’ they say. They all know. If they say they do not, they’re either ****ing stupid or lying. It’s just driven by greed.”"

 

Then I'm sorely disappointed, what an absolute scam

Is dynamic pricing happening everywhere? Because the price didn't change for the paris date the whole time 

[MonsterofFame 1,797]

Apologies if this has been discussed already but does anyone know what her tour rollout strategy is? For the US, there's a lot of major cities missing from the lineup. Does Gaga plan on adding more destinations or is this it for now?

I know the latest trend with artists is to add more shows at the same locations - usually the same week they're already visiting. But what about adding new locations?

The UK

Am in the UK too. Was just charged £250 for a seated ticket in Manchester, section 111. 

Seems very high to me. Did you see the same prices?

Yeah, the prices were all over the place, absolutely ridiculous £££ for crappy seats. A rare £70-80 one right at the back showed up then got taken immediately

that's not bad since the section C3 in front of 111 is going for around £540

I've noticed that Gaga mostly stays out of the business side of her brand ever since she dumped Troy Carter as her manager. I think getting involved on the business and money side of the deals caused her a lot of stress she doesn't want to deal with anymore. We know that's what led to the destruction of her working relationship with Troy.

Until ARTPOP Ball, Gaga was heavily involved in the business side. She was one of the first artists to remove the ban on digital camera from live shows. She had her management send food and treats to fans waiting in line at her shows and signings -- something unheard of at the time. She said in interviews she would force her management to keep GA tickets the lowest price because she knew that's where the real fans liked to be at her shows.

I think after her fallout with Troy circa 2015 she decided to leave the business to her management and just focus on the art.

Oh really? Thanks for sharing that. To be honest, whole thing was a blur and I didn't know if it was right or not - I was just happy to be able to checkout! I thought £250 for 111 was extremely high tbh.
