Social backlash from Brisbane stadium show?

[Starmie25 20,173]

There seems to be a lot of angry, dissapointed fans complaining online about the crowd control at the Brisbane show last night.

Some are saying they even missed the first few songs, because they were stuck outside the gates for hours.

What happened Suncorp?

I had 'VIP' early entry GA tickets, the suncorp staff were really nice and provided us water etc. during the day while waiting in line.

We got moved to another barrier and that's when it became a mess, we waited for an hour to be let inside the stadium and the Livenation rep told us we weren't allowed to use our phones. I assume this is because Gaga was doing a soundcheck which had been delayed due to technical issues.

We waited for over an hour before we were let onto the floor, not long after the psycho got removed by security. (No idea how he got passed security in the first place). 

I had friends who were waiting outside in a massive queue to get inside and they had to rush to their seats as the show had started. 

It was just poorly organised, 'VIP' early entry was really not worth it. We got treated like cattle and people were suffering from heart stroke. Gaga was fabulous but the poor organisation did spoil the experience.

Oh I see, LiveNation just being LiveNation...

It happened kind of the same in Barcelona. Some people were let in so late they missed a few songs, and let's not talk about the VIP packages. What a waste of money, shitty treatment for what is being paid, just to have an excuse to overprice the best spots in the venue...

Yeah and apparently staff were misdirecting people and lines were messed up and confusing. Just a gigantic cluster****. 

This Reddit thread explains it pretty well

I'm actually grateful to have gotten early entry since I was there for the first act while the rest of the crowd were still walking in. Dunno if I'd do GA again though, I was lucky enough to not have my view blocked by a security guard and I was 2nd row so I could see pretty well between two people, but idk if I'd get that lucky again. Plus I was a disgusting sweaty mess the whole time 

And not knowing how my view was gonna be just gave me anxiety all day.

Gaga herself was fantastic as always though

Gaga should have waited another hour till people fully got to their seats

Imagine missing Abracadabra. I would sue.

Apparently the curfew is super strict there.

It actually sounds like it was the worst organized show this whole tour. So far. 
I feel sorry for people who missed part of the show and for the staff who were so poorly managed.

Man that stage jumper I cannot with him. Just the worst

Did the other Australian shows start earlier? I thought most shows started around that time?

I'd be devastated.

This is giving me anxiety. It was like this at the LA Chromatica show.

This is why I don't bother trying to see big popular artists live anymore. The sheer size and mass of people is exhausting and aggravating, and you can't get anywhere near the artist. Let alone the tickets prices are an insult and you can't even hear the singer half the time from all the screaming fanatics. I only ever do small intimate gigs these days.

If she started any later than BR/HBDYWM/Encore would probably be cut short.
