Would they not be the same?

She did 2-4 shows in an area which would have been the same as doing one show in a stadium. She just would have done fewer shows.

For example, the second set of LA shows. Instead of four nights at the Kia Forum (seating 53,000 people across the four shows) she probably would have booked Dodger stadium again (seating 56,000) for an arguably worse experience for everyone who attended.

The attendance and revenue would have been around the same but the shows themselves would have been significantly worse.

But I think it’s possible she could have added more stadium shows in the biggest cities and accommodated more people over all. There was def enough demand as so many people were mad about not being able to get tickets and saying she should have done stadiums. Instead of several arena shows she could have done multiple stadium shows and it would have been even more successful.

so we ended Cowboy Diddy tour... Beyonce's fans have been insufferable throughout the whole Mayhem era, so that's all i care about. 

Are you really that entrenched in stan for nonsense? Do you not have more important things to worry about than whether or your not your chosen pop star is doing better than another one? 

How about we just celebrate Gaga’s achievement like grown adults and leave other artists who have nothing to do with this out of it?

It’s 2026 anybody who’s still doing this stan twitter type stuff really needs to put it down.

I'm still unsure how people weren't able to get tickets if they wanted them

I went to three shows myself, it seems like it was not uncommon to hit multiple shows. The real issues with accessibility were dynamic pricing and resale BS and both of those issues would have existed in a stadium tour too.

My main concern is always gonna be the quality of the show itself. You'd be paying $500+ for a ticket anyway most likely. Wouldn't you rather be indoors and close enough to see her rather than outside, half a mile away?

I doubt seriously if this was a stadium tour she would’ve done baseball stadiums again. She unquestionably would have booked SoFi. 

That's the problem  

Degrade the quality of the show so drastically and for what? To sell 10,000 more tickets? For more cash to throw on the pile of already effectively infinite money she has? What's the point

Not sure about US, in Europe it was so hard to get tickets

The way all the tickets sold is still less than the number of people on Copacabana…I’m still not over that

Imagine the numbers if it was a stadium tour 

Every time she goes for stadiums instead of arenas you gays won’t shut up about how arenas are better cause blablabla

Actually that’s not the truth Red! At first I complained about arenas

Tea but we can want her to do stadiums just so more can see her but also admit that arenas are objectively a better experience!

I believe the attendance numbers are something to be proud of. I am so happy to see Gaga soar. However, unless some of that enormous wealth is redistributed to folks in need, it is hard to celebrate this achievement in attendance.
