cash grab?? lmao

So people are mad the tour isn’t completely different… because they watch a free Coachella livestream, and then buy tickets to see the same show live?? In 2025, when everything ends up online anyway? That logic would make any repeat performance a ‘cash grab’ as if only the first audience deserves a real experience, and everyone else is just paying for scraps.

A live show isn’t just about seeing something new, it’s about being there. Just because some video exist online doesn’t mean the value disappears for everyone else. Not everyone watched the coachella or Rio streams, and not everyone going to the tour is a superfan tracking every show. In fact, there’s no official full recording available right now. So for most people, this is their first time experiencing the show live, as it was meant to be.

People didn't buy tickets to the same show live though. Gaga was very careful to market the Coachella/Mexico City/Rio/Singapore show as being its own thing. I won't be mad if it is the same show with a minor tweak or two, but to say people bought tickets expecting to see that show when those shows were very clearly not marketed as being part of the Mayhem Ball is disingenuous

If she had explicitly said at the start of the Rio/coachella/Mexico shows were a preview of the Mayhem Ball and she will be making some tweaks and adjustments for the tour, I think people would have been gagged at how good the show is and would be dying to see it live for themselves. But because she just said some offhand remarks about the “last time” after one of those shows, and a dancer post, we have somehow fully bought into an expectation that she should have completed ditched that beautifully rendered and extremely well thought out show, and come up with something completely new.  So we don’t actually know what the show looks like but if it is in fact an arena version of the opera house, I think it’s unreasonable for every one to be angry and upset. “No! You have to come up with two entirely different shows/tours in one year! “ is an unreasonable demand.

Some insider over on the other forum mentioned that changes were made but it's generally the same show, and he thinks everyone would be happy.

So take that as you will. Not long now, anyway!

I would not be particularly angry if it’s the same show but to be honest i’d feel weird about the fact that it is in arenas for no reason then. If it’s the same, stadiums would have worked just fine. 

But maybe they have added some elements, new things that could be better executed in arenas, I don’t know.

Either way I’m excited, it’s always a special time for us fans before a tour starts :excited2:

Right the dancer post was so vague I don’t know why so many people took it as confirmation of anything at all. And of course the show will be sized down. But this doesn’t mean she rethought the entire show and shot new interstitial videos and built new sets etc.

I do wish that one day we get to know exactly why she didn't do stadiums. That thing she said about being able to execute her vision was most certainly her way to artistically hide the truth. Maybe they found that doing multiple arena shows is more profitable than one or a few stadium shows? Maybe the rumor that stadiums weren't available this year is true?

I do believe the stadiums not being available is true. It's way more profit to do one show for 60k that 3 for 50k, you work less and earn more.

Well if they were not available, she just shouldnt have mentioned it at all. But hey, who knows, we might be surprised tomorrow
