And that's due to dynamic pricing. And fans notices and complain during the presales. We know it was dynamic pricing cos the prices keeps changing and keeps getting higher for the unsold seat cos the demands is astronomical.

Yes there’s evidence. People here reported prices changing in real time. Just google Gaga uses dynamic pricing you can even see news reporting it

I was able to get 4 tickets for $170 each. Lower bowl but the back corner section. 
 

I just checked StubHub. The scalpers are selling ticket in the same section for $1299 each!!!!! I paid about half of that for 4 tickets total!

 

 

I just checked. The queue for the date I got tickets for has 101,433 people ahead of me now.

Oh so it CAN be done   Interesting

Queen sh.it honestly

Dynamic pricing makes my blood boil. Concerts have always been for everyone. The nosebleed seats used to be so affordable so everyone had the chance to go. Now it seems it's only for the rich, and those willing to empty their savings.

Fu.ck Ticketmaster to hell

Hopefully this convinces others to follow suit

Honestly still disappointed in Gaga for allowing it

I mean, aren't the prices close to dynamic pricing tho?

Not even close, no. Dynamic pricing can give us what we're seeing with Mayhem Ball which is tickets in the stands for over $1k face value. People are getting front row for Ari for $800 which is about the price of non-floor seats for several artists at the moment. 

I'm genuinely a little flabbergasted that Monsters have not been more vocal about the dynamic pricing on Mayhem Ball. Her tickets are genuinely the highest I've seen non floor seats go. I cannot think of the last time I saw stands going for over $1k like they were for New York and Los Angeles.

We have ample proof that Mayhem Ball was dynamically prices to hell and back.

Yes 

But how do we know. I understand it seems like it but then didn’t Ticketmaster have a similar message to the one the op posted in this thread? If she did why isn’t there a statement? Instead I saw statements saying they aren’t. If they did it seems to not be transparent

It shouldn't even be an option for artists, it should be fully banned, but props to her 

She's wonderful she's going down on The right side of history just like Joaquin and dua

It is not advertised by Ticketmaster when dynamic pricing is on. They only specify when it is not on. In a way, that is their transparency. If it isn't indicated to you that dynamic pricing is not in effect, then assume that it is. 

But really, you don't have to assume. We know it was.

As to how we know...well you can just look at the available tickets. If someone tells you they purchased seats in Sec 110 at MSG for $300, but then you look at tickets available in that section later (not resale, first sale face value) that are listed for a little over $1,000, there's only one way that can happen. 

This happened to me. 

Ticketmaster will not raise the price of a ticket from one moment to the next unless they have been given permission to use dynamic pricing. The proof is right there for all to see. We all saw it during the sales last time. We saw it continue when they would release production hold tickets in the final days before a show and you would see the prices raise higher and higher as the day of the show approached. 

I understand why fans don't want to believe that Gaga allowed this, but the facts are exceptionally clear. She did allow it. And we'll see when these new dates go on sale if she allowed it again.

most concert tickets are way too expensive and its why ive never seen Gaga live

[RodeckDanny 2,455]

We stan Ari! This should be regulated, dynamic pricing makes NO sense and it's abusive

Why didn't she limit resales to face value?
resellers are selling tickets for thousands of dollars and her fans started petition
