I've mentioned my country here on the thread... also, no sweetie, when your currency is worth about U$S0.001 and you're taxed on international purchases, international is not cheaper, local IS the option. Brazil would've been doable... but I knew I wasn't gonna see her, only her on a screen... which is far from the ideal concert experience. Also, Rio police is not the kindes to foreigners in these kind of events and I'd rather not go through that.

Sure. Again, I’m not saying that it’s easy. I’m not saying that it’s ideal. I’m not saying that it’s fair. I’m just saying that it’s tough out here for everybody. Even those of us in the US it hasn’t been easy to go see her. We all feel you, and I really hope she does somehow make a show happen near you so that you can go.

Well, it's been over a decade since that happened so you'll have to forgive my very realistic pessimism

No matter where she went, you're gonna have people from another part of the world complain that she's not going to their specific country or region

At this stage of her career and given her health...I think she does the best she can but also I do wish she'd do 1 date at each of these continents and areas in 1 massive stadium.

You know, this made me curious and it turns out Joss Stone did a world tour where she visited pretty much every country on earth over the span of 6 years.

Of course I wouldn't expect Gaga to pull such a feature, but it does suck that it's always the same few countries and select cities all the time.

The BTWB was quite global though, except she had less money back then and less popularity, and it was also 10 years ago when touring was less of a thing... So the fact she does even less regions now is very confusing indeed.

She had Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, England, Manchester, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Columbia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, South Africa, Norway, Russia, Canada, and the US. 

I'm grateful she's doing enough dates in London that I get to see her but having grown up in a country with few tours stopping by and experienced her concert there I understand why it's important for her to do those stops, so I agree, I wish she did do a more global tour for the fans all around the world.

I agree - even if it’s a limited tour, it’s still better than we’ve gotten in a long time.

i mean its her third longest tour in terms of dates, its just not all over the world like BTW or monster ball

gagas almost 40 and with her fibro i salute her for doing as many shows as shes doing

what a queen

I'm gonna say no, pop acts tend to tour at least a couple countries in South America too, specially these last couple years (look at Taylor, Dua, Katy, Kylie, etc.)

That's only in recent years (although with Dua she's knew so only has done recent lol)

The Eras tour was Taylor's first ever South America dates. Tension tour is the first album era since X2008 that Kylie took the production to South America - although she did a festival show on her 2019 summer shows.

Madonna like others have said is spotty with touring outside Europe and America but occasionally does tour there (1992, 2008, 2012).

Katy has always been a consistently good tourer as others have said. 

Like I'm not saying people never tour South America - its just that, its never been guaranteed from Anglo pop acts in the previous decades. But it has become a much more common and consistent place to tour in the last 10 years - as shown by newer pop girls like Dua, Olivia & Billie all having been there within their first 2 album era tours.

It is oriented on the Global West, nevertheless it is a worldwide tour. I think it might become a truly global tour (like Monster Ball or BTWB) if she adds dates for Latin America, Central-Eastern Europe and Asia (besides Japan).

I think it is. She's visiting a lot of countries and even if shes missing LatAm she already gave them shows in Mexico before the actual Mayhem Ball Tour started.

I get is frustrating having to organise a trip if she aint coming close to where you live but is something that you can actually plan beforehand. I always try to save money during her breaks in between albums so I can buy whatever I want from merch and then also have enough for tickets.
