Did you get tickets at the right price?

Yeah, you can reslist your ticket for a lower price. That's what they usually do when the show gets closer but nobody's bought their overpriced seat yet just so they don't get stuck with the whole ticket price.

i think that's how i managed to get a chromatica ball ticket for $150 five weeks before the show i went to.  this is exactly my theory and why i'm waiting closer to the show date i picked to get a ticket, because people will be panic dropping the prices of the tickets they bought to resell.

Bonus: you get to stick it to a scammer that way

Didn't get to buy tickets due to a 14 hour shift... and seeing these resell prices? Yeah I am pretty ticked off as a Gaga fan. Really killed my hype for the album and tour. Hope everyone enjoys though.

I haven't got any yet because I didn't want to have the stress with the presale  so I might get a resale in upper level hopefully if there's any left this week or later

Paid $178 for the nosebleed of all nosebleeds because I wasn’t gonna be bled dry for a seat that was still kinda crappy anyway. Like, I was happy paying the low end for some of the shittiest seats in the house as opposed to paying $600 for seats that were only moderately less shitty lol. At these prices just being there is enough for me

So – I got mine from a VIP package, but it's for a very good reason (and kinda amazed I got those tbh?) – The package was the second priciest one (I think around £600 instead of £1000). But it's in the seated section in London RIGHT IN FRONT of the mini stage at the front, 2nd row, right in the middle. Considering other worse seats were priced higher or similarly, I personally feel like I won the lottery... But yeah these shows are way overpriced these days ! I remember thinking £300 was too much for a VIP package like ten years ago. :')

Any show I go too would have include a flight and hotel stay so unfortunately it’s out of the question with these bullshit prices. NYC and Miami do have a couple of seats available in the range of 475-880 but tack on my other expenses and it’s not possible.

I got Seattle tickets for Saturday in the lodge (lower nosebleeds) during the presale yesterday. 
 

Today I got Thursday tickets in the back lower bowl during the regular sale. I felt a little greedy buying the second tickets because I then saw there were 40,000 ppl in the queue. 
 

Both times the tickets were $227 each total  

 

Ticket Price:

Standard Admission $181.50

Fee $45.63

GRAND TOTAL $227.13

My floor ticket was gold VIP and the original set price before dynamic or reseller pricing would have got me luckily. But I still think it’s a ripoff.  But I did spend almost as much for Alanis once and Gaga is much bigger so I did free it to be worse.

I don't mean to sound rude or make anyone feel bad, however this feeling ya'll are collectively feeling right now about not getting tickets or it's too expensive... think about how Monsters feel worldwide who haven't had this chance to see her in OVER 10 YEARS? 

This is how we feel every single time Gaga has toured or played a show since visiting our country. Disappointment that we can't get a ticket, and or the price to fly and travel to see her would be too huge to even think about (aka some of ya'll going into debt)

It's great that she's touring again and if for now it is just America and Europe (like the past 10 years) that's ok!

At least we as a Monster fan base share the content and there will be plenty online, including streaming parties, hunting down livestreams of the shows, that livestream ending so you rush to find a new one so you don't miss any songs,..

Hate to say it but US Monsters welcome to the online virtual Lady Gaga experience. We don't get it in real life anymore so why should you?

I hear a lot of people talking about dynamic pricing, are we 100% sure these prices are a result of dynamic pricing? Cause if this is the case, in theory if there are any tickets left in the next week for example, those should be less expensive since demand will be lower? 

Dynamic pricing can also include other methods than those described in this thread. It can be based not only on the number of interested parties considering a purchase option at the same time, but also on:

Macbook/iOs/Apple users and non-Apple users (Apple users are considered more affluent and are more likely to receive higher offers);

Geolocation; Real estate prices in your neighborhood are compared with average prices in other neighborhoods and this determines whether you are statistically likely to be very rich, rich, or rather poor; if you are above average wealthy, you will receive a higher offer;

Cookies from other sites; if you have purchased expensive products elsewhere, partner sites can calculate how likely you are to be rich and offer you a higher offer;

Number of returns; If you return to the offer often and look at it often, the likelihood of it becoming cheaper decreases because AI assumes you'll buy it.

It's not really likely that ticket prices will drop in the coming weeks, because there are fewer tickets available, the offer has become scarcer, and there are still large groups of buyers chasing a few tickets. Rather, the price will rise. But a few weeks before the concerts, ticket prices will likely drop again!

I got mine for NYC around $300 each and it is not super close but also not an awful view. It is a similar price to what i paid for the CBT so I am justifying it by saying the view at MSG will be better than when I was in a stadium!

yas congrats! That's so good because i'm pretty sure it must be literally the row in front of you, someone's trying to sell the  seat and it cost them £1200

that's a fair point! im lucky to have seen TCB. It does sting alot though when she actually is near you but it was near impossible to get a ticket  it's like the ultimate fomo

also though i think there's a high chance there will be dates in different countires/continents added, where is it you'd want her to go?

That's no longer true. As I described here:

 

There are more and more affluent people from the non-Western world, outside of Japan, from the upper middle class and upper class, who are indeed flying to the West and driving up concert ticket prices; for other artists, non-Western concerts are also sometimes offered (and then less in Western cities which is driving up prices, too). It's true that the middle class in non-Western countries can't afford it, but the non-western world is characterized by strong social inequality. In Ukraine, Russia, India, Serbia, Brazil, Thailand and Colombia, etc. there is no real middle class in the Western European sense; rather, there is an impoverished broad mass, while at the same time there is a growing, significantly wealthy upper class of buyers in these countries – and they do buy! And they compete with the Western middle class. You're right in that the Western middle class can afford it less and less and "feels" (in this aspect) like the middle class in poorer countries.

Inequality is increasingly less between West and non-West, but rather between high-income and low-income people cross-global.
