Worst Mayhem Ball experience (for me)

[spicemuncher 1,731]

I really don’t like how this thread turned into a “just be grateful that you saw her so many times” situation. A lot of fans do multiple shows, save up for ages and put expenses on cards that they have to pay off for several months. What OP chooses to do with his time and money is their business.

A show being mismanaged has nothing to do with how much money an individual can spend on something.

All EE on one side is absolutely ridiculous. I definitely would email VIP Nation.

I am sorry the tour ended for you on a sour note. I hope you cherish the good moments and not feel too bad about this last show.

You had 6 incredible shows, think of it that way 

[Killa 17,857]

I have many questions.

Why would security give away water bottles? That seems like good service but if you can hold you phone you can Also bring a bottles of water. 

Then, go pee behind the truck!??? What kind of medieval mess Is that!?? Everyone does that in festivals lets be real but i Just can't believe that was the professionale answer

Lastly, i'm Sorry but Seattle and antwerp, 7 shows? The tickets are there and you can purchase them but i feel like it's not something tò talk so lightly when so many didn't got a single ticket. Well poor you, It wasn't enough to go to One continent.. 

But the fault Is in Gaga, doing such small venues with so little dates. Of i take your experience to the Milan show. We have a bunch of invited vip celebrities, then we have people like you Who go tò multiple shows. Yeah very cool.

I’m here for the answers

My only question is, how did you manage to get 7 tickets? I lost my patience and barely managed to get one for Barcelona and a lot of people didn’t even manage to get a ticket at all.

DISCLAIMER: All the people I met were so lovely. At least I leave with a heart full of love <3

 

Hated this whole day and the day before, and while this was my last mayhem show this year brb crying

Queueing was stressful, staff and security in the evening and at night were hostile and not helpful at all making us not feel at ease. The whole night was just stress, and when the morning came the ‘queue’ became anarchy in a matter of seconds.

Staff were regulating at some point around 8-9 am, but we haven’t seen them back until the doors opened. They could have been around to prevent people from cutting, answering our questions regarding the VIP experience or anything else about the venue. It just made things messy, unclear and uncared for.

Besides that, everything took so long and there was no clear indication of when we were going in. People were crying and having panic attacks over not being able to go to the bathroom in time!! Because there are no bathrooms around, and staff told us to just do it behind the tour trucks.

After we got in at 1820 (GC EE vip!), we still had to wait some more without any orderly organized queue from the staff or any clarity on early merch shopping and bathrooms. Mess mess mess again.

Once we got in, we also saw that almost the entirety of the left gc was just VIP EE. No one had early entry for the right of the stage. This is super unfair for people that ended up paying 460€ to be in the 10th row, while regular ticket holders paying half of that on the right side were cheering once they got in and managed to get barricade! I get it and I’m happy, but it just feels so crooked and scammy.

Security wasn’t caring at all either. Weren’t handing out water voluntarily, only if you really asked for it. Might have been a reason many people fainted. They also completely blocked all fans from getting close to Gaga during the VIY barricade walk. None of the people I queued with (it was like 30 of us at the barricade) managed to get any signature, and security was holding back people trying to give flowers. Plus the people behind us were trying to shove their stuff they wanted to sign ( A lot of desperate hands with lanyards, hoping for a signature), made security push us back even more.

 

To summarize, a horrible experience. Whenever you go out of your country, pay for travel expenses and buy a VIP ticket to a show, this isn’t what you should receive. I am gonna write a formal complaint to both ticketmaster and the venue this week. I wonder if other people feel the same way? This was my seventh and last mayhem show and I left with my head hanging down sadly

I felt exactly the same way for GC EE in Barcelona. Never getting a VIP Nation ticket again

7 shows? Thats just rude.

[Schwerk 7,308]

How childish are you to focus on the "7 shows" when the OP describes an actual issue with the tour.

What happened in Antwerp is not OK and I hope they learned from this.

Oh stfu lol

you idiots are celebrating when your faves makes millions but when any other person who works hard to earn their money spends it on something like 7 shows because they never got the chance to see Gaga in the past, you jealous bitches tear them apart..

Can’t you just be happy for someone else? 

[TEANUS 15,765]

Someone being able to attend 7 shows DOES NOT negate or minimize the bad experience. I would think anyone here would do that if they could. Y’all are so funny

this, this is where you lost me.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, don't get me wrong... But you also saw it seven times, this does feel like a lot for an experience you've lived through multiple times.

Not saying you don't have a right to feel bad, but it does come off a little out of touch with reality

i’m just 20 and work hard besides my uni work to afford this😭 i’ve never been able to see gaga live before on tour so i am taking an opportunity i never had!!

[elijahfan 26,560]

… yeah those years are definitely behind me, I’m more than happy with my seating tickets 

[Auralegends 7,218]

I'm always wondering where do the people that queue go to the toilet or do they have bottles/diapers with them
