One simple request - re: Mayhem Ball

[CubbyGaga 2,558]

I think we can all mostly agree that the Mayhem Ball is one of the best tours she’s ever done.  
 

I only have one complaint; that’s not about her specifically but the stage setup.  
 

I purchased my ticket for the last Chicago date only days prior to that the show.  I knew ahead of time that my seats wouldn’t be amazing but I didn’t care; I just wanted to be there.  I was seated in section 320 of the United Center.  Directly left of the stage.  
 

Because there were no screens on the side, I missed the entirety of the She Fell Into a Gothic Dream portion.  Disease and Perfect Celebrity are two of my all time favorite songs in her discography, and I saw her leg.  Her RIGHT LEG.  Nothing else.  Until she got out of the sandbox and went out onto the runway.  

How did her team not think to put screens on the sides of the stage?? I really hope in future tours the stage setup is more well-thought out.

The whole side screens for restricted view seats is a relatively new thing for the touring world, and as such, it's not really factored into a lot of tours by default just yet. The Eras Tour was one of the first to do it for every single show at every single venue. It's becoming more common as a default in stadium tours, but it hasn't exactly broken into the arena tour world as a default just yet.

I just wanted to see my queen in her litter box 😭

Yeah that’s why even when I saw tickets go cheaper for Chicago I just couldn’t bring myself to get some. Like Gaga lbr those tickets in those sections should be like $50 max

I had this issue too. It sucks that screens and interludes almost feel like VIP bonuses nowadays because of how expensive it can be to get seats where you can see them.

This too, I was SO sad I didn’t see the interludes in person.  It felt like I was watching from backstage… which wasn’t entirely a bad thing, I mean especially with the edibles I took, it was quite interesting to see the back side of the stage.  But sitting in those seats you literally miss 1/3 of the show.

The Chromatica Ball had also sidescreens at every single show and venue
