Why are the tickets in the USA so much more expensive than Europe? I have golden circle for 202 euros, and for the CBT it was 170 I think

Several factors. Tighter regulation on profit margins in general concert ticket sales and the resale process is one of them. Europeans also tend to be more price sensitive, so scalping isn't really a thing for concerts because you guys refuse to create a profitable enough market for it. And a lot of European countries have a lower median NET income. You might make the same as us on paper, but after taxes Americans tend to bring more home (lack of socialized healthcare and other public works). So we take home what we would be paying to education or health insurance and paying $1,000 to see Lady Gaga instead.

After two beers and some weed my husband and I decided we are trying again in the public sale.  I’m getting in line for Thursday, him Monday.  Lord help us.

Honestly, I had way better luck during the general sale than the artist pre-sale or even the credit card presale for CBT. The best I got was like a 100-level seat during the Citi pre-sale and was able to get PIT tickets during the general sale. So don't be too upset that you weren't able to get what you want, there's a good chance it will still come up. More tickets are gonna be released and she's showing interest in expanding the tour as she just added 5 shows after the first pre-sale.

This tour presale has been ridiculous. After paying way too much money to sit literally in the FURTHEST seat back possible (nosebleeds, back against the stadium walls) at the chromatica ball, i think im unfortunately gonna have to do whats smart and skip out on this tour. Which is sad because i have been anticipating it for years. And also, the whole US leg is in five cities??? This is not doable for most people. Im super disappointed this time around.

I can't believe you guys are paying $600+ for tickets… that's insane. The way this whole Mayhem Tour ticket sale has been handled is pretty disappointing. I hope I get to see her live again, last time was at the Monster Ball Tour, but with how hard it is to get tickets it seems very unlikely.

Im feeling sad also, and I feel selfish about it to a degree, but its true. This feels like one of the first times I won’t be able to see a Gaga tour, and that’s just really sad to me because it’s always been an amazing thing I look forward to when the time comes around. Something I anticipate and get excited about. The lack of not coming to California has got me down. I feel selfish about that because I know there are many people in other places who never get the opportunity for her to be anywhere near them, and I sympathize with that greatly.

I guess being in California is a major privilege in the sense that I could 100% always rely on the fact she would be here somewhere, whether than be in NorCal, SoCal, etc. Vegas is the nearest show but honestly it’s just not doable for me. However, I tried to test my luck and got in like to maybe see if there were tickets. It was basically sold out with the exception of a few seats, being so insanely priced. Like $600-$800 for seats wayyyyyyyyyyyyy out in left field.

There have been virtually zero times I have felt sad, frustrated, or let down in my time being a LM since seeing Gaga live the first time ever in Oct 2008. But now I am, and it’s just really a huge bummer

[NotoriousEden 129]

It’s disgusting. I’ve never seen such egregious price gouging in my life for a concert. I personally can afford the tickets, but I’d have to have a gun to my head to pay for $600 nosebleed tickets at MSG. I got front row Eras Tour tickets for like $400 after fees. There is absolutely no reason for them to be that high. Also is her fanbase really that big to be pulling in those queue numbers in every single event. Seems fraudulent to me

[Guillaume Hamon 6,170]

Guys I know it's a dream for many here but skip this show instead of meals at this month end if that's the risk for you.

It shouldn't even be legal to have a concert with X hundreds of $ to pay for imo... Not when when fans with low or regular incomes made them rich too and now can't come.

These dynamic pricing are the exact of opposite of what Gaga stands for and I hope she'll stop it or get stopped by buyers.

[Flippy 12,166]

I’m angry and disappointed at this point. I really want to see her but if I don’t get a Vegas ticket tomorrow, I’m going to wait and see if I can get some for CA (not LA) or Portland if she even comes here

Yes 'cause Ticketmaster does things backwards.

Like, for a fan presale, they should verify that you're eligible to join the presale THEN put you in the queue. But they don't check eligibility until you go to actually select your ticket.

Then you have people (like me oops ) who jump in the queue multiple times just to check out the prices and what's still available even though we already have tickets.

Anyway, yeah, the system's just busted and why would they fix it? They're probably making a million or more a show with these prices despite selling a third of the tickets as the last tour.

Artist can say they don't allow it, yes. Why she allowed it? It's a mystery, just the way of why she decided to aligned with big pharma. Until she said it herself, we'll never know 

Same with no artist presale for UK. Instead they parented with co-op and o2, and marketed the hell out these presales. It’s all about money now honey, MUSIC AND MORE BLING!!n

I don't blame you for joining to check how the prices are going. Ticketmaster should do an update where people can be just viewers? I don't know how to explain it. But then again, I guess they don't because of what you just said, they benefit from all those things to stress people and kinda force them to buy whatever they can get

[Bex Lightyear 270]

These platinum tickets prices are through the roof! We Europeans aren’t used to dynamic pricing. This is gonna backfire.

It’s honestly pure luck to get tickets

At this point I’m expecting to not get tickets, I can’t afford to pay more than £100 

I don't know what the pricing is like in the UK, but I managed to get a ticket for 80e while having 36 000 people in front of me in the queue. I think the most important thing is when you reach the page with the arena on it, wait/refresh and new tickets will pop out occasionally (including 60e and 80e ones too!) Good luck <333

Edit: I just saw some of the prices in the US and I pray it's not the same for you too and that you will be able to find something....I genuinely had no idea that the prices varied this much between shows....

The rollout has been a mess. And the pricing is ridiculous.  

If the plan was stadiums in 2026, why not just put it on sale after Coachella and ride the hype? 

As an Australian it’s disappointing to not be included so far on the tour. I’ve been fortunate to see Gaga internationally twice but most don’t have that luxury. Please visit us Gaga!

[Fantina 3,319]

I feel so sad reading this...I had no idea the prices were this wild for some countries and that Gaga's team decided to follow through with dynamic pricing. What a mess this has been.....
