Bronco 21,383 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 4 minutes ago, Idefix1999 said: If she does stadiums, the majority should take place in covered stadiums or domes, like mentioned above. While more people have a chance to get tickets, the daylight during half of the show in summer in Europe sucks. Remember the Chromatica Ball in Paris or London... But stadium tours aren't everything. You can be a top tier artist and still tour "just" arenas. (Some stan twitter fans will tell otherwise, but anyway) The biggest issue is that covered stadiums just aren't a thing in some regions or aren't widely available. Like in the UK - there's only the millenium stadium in Cardiff with a fully retractable roof. Wembley has a partial roof which keeps the pitch (standing area) exposed. So a UK tour would suddenly become a single stop in Cardiff (which is usually avoided as it has limited availability windows during the European summer). In France, there's only 1 roofed option in Paris which has a max capacity of around 30,000. So not necessarily cost effective for stadium shows. The other option is Lille. But with retractable roof stadiums you don't get AC so in a European summer heatwave some stadiums *cant* shut the roof for safety.

palma 8,888 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I do think she enjoys touring arenas more (just more manageable, weather is not as much of a problem, and more intimate, what she's used to etc.) but they probably just didn't plan in advance to book stadiums w/the Mayhem Ball. Live Nation would definitely push for stadiums for the next tour (I expect it to gross 500M min. if she ends up doing a longer tour with 50+ dates). Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, while writing I made a list in my mind and I am aware that this would be a problem in a lot of areas. Curitiba would be the only stadium in all of Latin America. She would have to leave out major cities in the US like Chicago (although they're building an new one with a roof), Boston/Foxborough, NYC/East Rutherford, Washington D.C./Landover or the Bay-area. In some regions like Florida there would be only one option in Miami and she would have to switch to baseball stadiums. As for European countries there are a lot of stadiums, but these are also close together and would leave a lot of markets unvisited. Like the UK would definitely need stops in London, Manchester and Scotland (but in the UK the sunsets are also very late in summer). The arena in Nanterre/Paris holds 40k to 45k people per concert. Taylor or Dua had their concerts there. And now Celine Dion will play 16 shows there in autumn. Also these mid-sized stadiums would still feel more intimate than those huge, open wide field stadiums like Wembley, Stade de France or the Olympic Stadiums in Berlin and München. In Germany the only real option would be Düsseldorf, while Frankfurt has a roof, but this has to be opened when it rains. So in conclusion: Little Monsters: go out there and build roofs for your stadiums to welcome Mother Monster in the future!

TheARTPOPball 1,280 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It sucks bc the arena productions are better but I think I prefer her in a stadium . While I enjoyed the mayhem ball, I can think of several ways that my personal experience would have been improved from it being a stadium show.. the screens are much larger and easy to see (my view was obstructed by the massive speakers) the tickets are (normally) more affordable but in cases like the eras tour I guess not. Getting in and out is so much easier. I prefer the fresh air. Even tho the chromatica ball is her only stadium tour ppl have to judge her stadium tours by, I think she is more than capable of having an epic stadium show. And with fibromyalgia being kinda not predictable, I think she would also benefit from not having to do as many shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shape of a rvfzme 1,238 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I've mixed feelings about stadiums. I feel like this is the end of MAYHEM. Although if Gaga plays at a festival in Poland, I'd love to go (assuming I can get tickets). Feel the beat under your feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLadyInRed 1,750 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Arenas. I saw the Chromatica Ball 3x and was able to properly see her when I was front row only. As soon as you were further from the main stage, you could barely see her and had to look up the screens. As for the Mayhem Ball which I also saw multiple times, she was close to you whenever you were seated and I loved that. So I pray for an arena tour again 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
