Thoughts on the Mayhem Ball audience so far?

[QueenMortuana 1,196]

I've been watching Gaga's concerts since The Fame Ball. Over the years I feel I've seen less movement and dancing at her shows. Even when I went to two shows of in person I felt there wasn't as much dancing in the crowd.

I'm not seeing the Mayhem Ball in person unfortunately, but have been watching videos since it started. I think the attendees are dancing and singing much more this time around. It makes me really happy to see and I'm sure everyone's also returning this joyful free energy she has on this tour.

 

What are your thoughts on the audience for those who have attended the Mayhem Ball and those who have watched online?

since the BTWB she has lacked one important thing... touring South America, that's where the best crowds are tbh

EVERYONE in my section was dancing and screaming, and i was in the nosebleeds so i was unsure what the vibes would be like but i was so happy. they were even singing the lesser-known songs like Summerboy and Kill for Love

Crowds are more vivid outside of the US

This is what I'm nervous about for my shows in Amsterdam and Antwerp. I'm kinda expecting the party to mostly happen in GC but I didn't get those tickets 

And Dutch crowds are always so lame, they're really only there to hear Poker Face, Shallow and Die With A Smile

I think the smaller venues help!

This is so accurate when I think back to my seats back in Arnhem during Chromatica Ball

There is young people in the audience ?

No one in my section was seated for the entire show. Would’ve been better if the floor wasn’t seated though 😕

Gaga tours was focused on hardcore fans, but now that her career changed, everyone joins the show, including old people and families. I think even people who only know 2-3 songs of Gaga are attending the show. So yeah I the crowd will be different from before I think..

I hate them all for going instead of me

[dberrin 904]

its really a US thing, the fact that the floor has seats also impact the overall ambiance. If you look at the chromatica ball in Paris, people were dancing and jumping their ass off

Seattle was a pretty active show. I went to the last one. I think something you have to take into consideration is that A LOT of her fans are older now and a lot of new fans are older - Lady Gaga is more than a pop star so she’s reached a variety of people. 
 

I was nervous about the energy too but everyone was screaming - paws up - and almost everyone was moving in some capacity to the music

Exactly my thoughts... some people just attend concerts to talk about having seen Lady Gaga (or others).

I went to Cyndi Lauper's farewell tour and most people only cared for She Bop, Time After Time, True Colors and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. They went getting beer or for the toilet or just talked during other songs which I found hella rude and annoying...
