StrawberryBlond 15,432 Posted October 12, 2025 Share Posted October 12, 2025 Such a great show, maybe her best ever. Got so much up-close footage and pics as I was at the foot of the stage. The part where she comes storming down the stage during Killah to scream at the end and then swirls around telling us to jump looks amazing on camera. I made eye contact so many times (still not as close as I was at the artRave but this was second best). My only complaint is I wish it was longer. So emotional towards the end, it felt almost like a retirement performance, although we know it was anything but. She never stops giving me reasons for why I picked the right artist to stan for.

The only thing that irked me was being the only one to scream and put my hands up when she asked, despite being in very close seats! I was surrounded by locals I agree, it felt surprisingly contained and seemed smaller than the O2 even though it apparently isn't. But what I was surprised by was the figures - just over 31k attended the two nights which is weird as an all-seated performance apparently holds 20,500 and weren't both nights sold out? Mine sure seemed to be. There were clearly a lot more than 11k people at mine, so I don't understand this at all. I also know what you mean about not everyone going crazy but I suppose people were in a mad scramble to get tickets anywhere and where they were situated wasn't an indication of how big a fan they were. I recorded a lot of stuff, so I'm not telling anyone not to film but I wish they didn't hold their phones up so high so as to obscure Gaga for the people behind - I put mine more at face-height and didn't record whole songs and I wouldn't put my hands up constantly. It was annoying for example that I was trying to film Gaga at the piano and some guy's hand was standing straight up directly in front of her face and he wasn't even making a monster claw, so it was pointless. And she was looking at the keys and was hardly going to see him or say anything. I made sure the people behind me could see over my headdress as well, I'm so aware of how others could be bothered by my actions but I swear some people don't have a clue about concert etiquette. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga's shows would have been around 15.5k capacity each 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 750 Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 Two weeks ago now, but I can't stop thinking about the Mayhem Ball! Maybe her best so far, her vocals were insanely good (not that I expected any different!) I think the two older ladies sat next me thought I was crazy when I was almost sobbing before the show even started lmao Hope all who went had the best time! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
