Why do you want a stadium tour?

[JoanneMonster 8,892]

I really can't understand why people want Gaga to only do stadiums? Is it only to be able to say she sold out stadiums?

An arena has better sound, more visual possibilities, better effects, and no matter what you are always gonna be somewhat close to her.

I went to the Chromatica Ball in a Stadium and to her other tours in arenas and it is so clear to me that everyone had a much better experience in arenas.

Some fans are mad at her team for not booking stadiums, I'm super happy that they went with arenas. It's a win for everyone.

Personally cos she cannot cater all her fans with arena anymore. We saw the chaos with presales last week snd still so many of us did even get it. 
 

With stadium, even with scalpers, lots can still had the chance. Personally speaking, I literally managed to cop 3 dates of Beyonce's Renaissance WT & CC World tour each. The same with Eras tour. But the MBT tix really hard to come by, even with extra dates. 
 

Gaga rn is too big for arenas. 
 

just that.

I mean, I think the clear answer is that stadiums hold more people, so it's relatively easier to get a ticket compared to arenas.

That said, if we're strictly talking about the show's production, I agree, arenas are better.

but she's doing multiple dates in each city (mostly) so in the end all her arena shows in a city end up having capacity for more or less the same amount of people that a stadium would have.

She's doing 3 arenas here in Barcelona, just the same as if she played once in the stadium we have

She can have multiple dates on arenas, that will be about equal ad 1 stadium dates, sure. But with this math, she can just do 2-3 stadiums dates instead whoch equals to the arena dates twice over.

Stadium most be the worst experience imo, why would pay a lot of money for bad echoed audio, a lot and i mean a lot of people, and barely watching the LCD screen that's so f away.

[AyeshaErotica 1,624]

Well, I made a post about this a couple of days ago, and was critical of stadiums, too:

Yeah, it’s very hard to understand that it was almost impossible to get tickets to see her in arenas  can someone please contact a scientist to study and discover why people want stadiums? You can be against stadium tours, but the reasoning is pretty easy.

I think for some there are minimum criteria  so that a concert feels LIVE and PERSONAL, and when it doesn't. And some draw a line: that's not the case anymore when you can no longer recognize the artist well and have to rely on the large digital screens. And when you look more at the screens than at the artists themselves then it no longer feels like experiencing it in first person live, but more like a BROADCAST, and then it's not far off that you could actually watch it as a live broadcast in the cinema in the second row, just like with fans in the cinema creating a good atmosphere. Tastes differ. And of course, it depends on where exactly you sit; in the middle of the stadium can be just as bad as at the back of an arena.

unpopular opinion : I'm so happy she's going arenas because we'll be able to see her far closer than if she were in a stadium tour. Paying expensive tickets to see her performing on a screen, ugh.

It's like going to Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower from a distance. Technically, you are in Paris and you see Gaga, but wouldn't we say we really saw Paris and Gaga if we were close to the Eiffel Tower and Gaga? It's live and somehow it isn't live. A hybrid in between. I remember being on a classs trip to Paris and a classamte was excluded from going up the Eiffel Tower (he's been in a bus parked near below the Eiffel Tower) because he did not obey the rules and he said he feels like he was not really in Paris because of that punishment.

[Jessica Germ 1,835]

Aren’t stadiums bigger? The Paris arena shows sold out within seconds. But you take multiple stadium shows for example? Now that’s how you get the ACTUAL amount of people who want to go see you accounted for. 
 

Arena capacities are laughable for a star of her magnitude, and before you ask NO I COULD NOT GET TICKETS

I want the dates for people who are unable to see her in an arena

I want the arena date for myself

[Ronk 14,693]

In arenas I've seen Gaga, Ariana, Kesha, Cher, Madonna, and others.  I wouldn't go to see any of them in a stadium because arenas are a much better experience, for the reasons stated in the OP.

[crackpoppodcast 1,525]

Stadiums are cute for casual fans. I saw Chromatica Ball at Dodgers Stadium and the experience was NOTHING compared to her past tours. It felt SO distant and just not ideal.

[Killa 16,965]

I would have loved going to the forum tò see her if i got a ticket, that Is. Def an intimate Place, well for me its already huge.

I share the opinion that stadium Is worst than Watching on TV live stream. But ive never had an International pop star mega concert like this so id like the stadium experience. Not Just for Gaga.

For an artist like Gaga arenas aren't and option unless She does at least 5 dates in One city. Otherwise its too exclusive. She has been in italy last time was Joanne tour. Confitmed, Also Just One date. Same for artrave. But her fanbase here Is actually pretty big, and Shes popular in the gp. 2 dates for that small venue Is too little

[Lucas 25,642]

Honestly arena shows are much better.

[ANTI WP 19,812]

She is tooo big for to be doing arena shows and many of them couldn't get tickets 

 

Don't compare CBT to her previous arena shows cause you guys never experienced Stadium show with Stadium productions.

 

She choose to be cheap for going with the box instead of giving the fans an experience.

[TAIPEI 2,443]

i've seen gaga at outdoor theatre and performing center before and never been in an arena or stadium from her shows yet so i'm very excited for her singapore shows and next tour.

arena has better views and experiences, stadiums are more easier for fans to get tickets.

10000 seats venues are too small for her, and stadiums capacity usually over than 50000, so maybe there's a compromise ways to choose dome (like 30000 seats) to make most of fans being confident and comfortable to buy the tickets.
