Can you post a pic of the map of the venue? This will probably be distributed like all of Europe has had.

Just screenshotted it off Ticketmaster

They'd only need to import the larger opera house from the coachella staging. The stage itself and everything else will be sourced via LiveNation Australia's equipment. 

So it wouldn't actually be that much of an increased expense. And given the smallish gap between the last European show and the first Aussie show - chances are the set design had already been loaded and was on route to Australia even before the last show on the 22nd.

But the bigger stage had stuff happening in the various balconies all the time… This was literally a different show.

Also, if you start putting a bigger set, a bigger catwalk, bigger everything, that changes the entire timing of the show since it takes more time to go from A to B. I’m not sure you guys realize what a logistic mind**** that would be.

Scale Gaga up to 2.5m. This should solve the problem. You're welcome.

See you're discussing showtimings, which I accept are logistical changes. But I was talking about the operational logisitics of using the original stadium scale staging.

Ooh, this is interesting cause VIPs can actually choose to go to the front of B stage

Oh true. I had arguably a better spot right in front of the B stage with my GA ticket than those who bought GC 😅

Yup, first night in Barcelona people from VIP and GC went to stage B but then GA complained so second and third night security didnt allow them to stand there and had to go to the sides.

I mean sure, they could bring the bigger stage to Australia... But what's the point if that ****s up the entirety of the current show?

Honestly, depending on what they intended on doing - there's enough time between Nov 22nd and Dec 5th to be rehearsing any adaptations needed. 

I don't expect major changes. But if they've gone back to stadiums and are just using the condensed arena staging - I'd be ****ing raging if I had a ticket. 

Certainly wouldn't make me want to get tickets if a european stadium tour does happen.

After watching the view from B stage I wish I wouldve gotten GA for at least 1 day, I was #19 for day 1 and #3 for day 2.

When you love an artist, I don't think the size of the stage really matters when it comes to buying a ticket... The Chromatica Ball stage was no bigger than the current one and it was a stadium tour, nobody complained about it being too small back then. Just put big enough screens and everything's fine, really.

I'm still so confused as to why they had to remove the catwalk for the artRAVE 's stadium dates when there was more space than arenas. The JWT made sense since the catwalks were suspended from a ceiling (but then, they should have booked places with roofs )

Goofy past decisions make me think the stage will be gutted for the larger venues.

Something I have noticed is that often the stage is higher up for stadiums vs arenas. 

My GUESS for the ArtRave the catwalks weren’t tall enough for the stadium stage, so they didn’t include them (why they didn’t have a basic catwalk is beyond me).

As for the opera house, I actually see a world where the larger one is already being sent to AU for those shows and the smaller one is just going back to the US for the last leg.
