Idc if it's Beyoncé, Taylor, Gaga, etc there's no reason to be squeezing this much out of people for a damn concert. 100x this. Its obscene money. And so much of it will be financed by debt through credit cards & pay later deals. Meanwhile the majority of the event staff will have been on below cost of living wages for the night. 6 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like that awful sense of getting torn between the numbers that are made just by the person who we feel connected the most, through something so significant and beautiful which is the music. It hurts, actually. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstertoronto 10,168 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Here’s what I dont understand. The entire tour is already sold out way in advance. You cannot cancel or get a refund for your tickets. So don’t they already know exactly how much money the entire tour has made already, since the entire tour was sold out. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts, actually. My show is in a month and idk how I'm gonna shove aside the actual disgust and bitterness I feel towards her rn I don't even feel like getting dressed up in my little outfit anymore. I just wanna go see my friends, maybe meet some people from here, drop the letters off with Bobby or someone else from her team, and enjoy the show as much as possible. Lose myself in a bit of nostalgia and pretend it's still 2014 Gaga on stage. Back when she had a heart. Amazingly I've still avoided all spoilers other than the song that was added in the beginning. I hope the hype returns 'cause I dropped too much cash on those tickets to feel miserable Billionaires are a cancer. Even the ones you like. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCloset 20,000 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Wish she did a stadium tour. The demand was and is insane for her. She would have grossed $10mil per show I hope the exit is joyful and i hope never to return. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna go see it because I’m sure it’s gonna be her last tour for a loooong while plus it’s probably her best one so far plus I wanna enjoy Abra live plus many other things. Sigh For some reason the tickets for MSG are even more absurdly expensive than other US venues, which doesn’t help at all. I’ll just try last minute releases or reselling tickets but I can feel my pockets bleeding already Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they could technically report the full gross and then just deduct from it if anything is cancelled. But they must know what they’ve already made.

I hope the hype returns 'cause I dropped too much cash on those tickets to feel miserable I'm not trying to blatantly excuse the whole situation but I do try to keep a couple things in mind. You never know if she's in debt to her label or if there are some backdoor deals for her to get some of her projects greenlight. She was able to release Harlequin and did a bit for fans with it, including her little listening party. And she did do her Spotify Q&A and I feel like a lot of it was pretty honest. I also try to keep in mind the economic situation, and that you can tell artists are being pressured to release and tour music before we go into a depression. Who knows? The album was delayed, even just a month. But maybe they were looking at doing something so didn't book stadiums and waited too long, and maybe Gaga was the one to say "What do we need to do to make a tour happen this year?" and that pricing in arenas was the solution, at which point they probably knew that people would be upset but at least they'd be able to see the concert. Just put on your little outfit and go, you know the anger is gonna wash away when she comes on stage. You'll be a teenager again (maybe even a 12 year old little ****) hearing BTW for the first time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4th Time Around 4,525 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Weird as hell how much stans care about how much one rich person's tour grosses in comparison to another rich person's tour. The price for tickets this time around was ridiculous and it was a particulary shitty move to allow dynamic pricing.

Or at least part of the reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
