Roseland Ballroom NYC (3/28, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/4, 4/6, 4/7)

[Lana Winters 731]

I have tickets for the fourth and I am very nervous as this will be my first concert but also very excited because it will also be my first time seeing Gaga live!! Can anyone tell me what time is a good time to be there by? Will there be a line if I go early or can you just walk in?

People usually camp the night before but remember that LMZ gets in before you. You cannot just walk in as doors open at 7pm for regular GA. Have fun!

So I have GA tickets and will get on line at 5pm you think I will be in the very back? I don't need to be so close but want to make sure I see her at least. Has anyone had any experience in the back of the venue during this concert yet??? I recently moved to florida from NYC and am coming home for this can't wait! Then I will get to enjoy the first ARTPOP ball a month later :)

I've been to the first two shows and stood in the back for each. Visibility is extremely limited from the back.

Who am I seeing tomorrow? I'm going to be alone

I'll be there tomorrow with my friend. You can find us in the back by the soundboard.

I've been at the back towards the bar and lighting equipment at Roseland.

 

You get a fuller view of the stage and the set if you're in the dead center and there's no one that's too tall ahead of you. I arrived on line at 6pm ish and I was dead center of the venue. There's a lot of pushing, shoving and then people cutting their way to the front once they're already inside. Enjoy!

Did anyone notice ppl bringing in professional cameras? I ask because I want to bring my Cannon EOS to take good pics but I know some venues don't allow them :(

HEY! Just wanted to let you know I did see a couple of people tonight with DSLRs and I asked one girl who brought hers in. She didn't even REALIZE that she wasn't allowed to bring in the camera. Her words, "They saw my camera but they let me in. I didn't know we weren't allowed."

 

Your mileage may vary, of course. Security tonight was primarily looking to make sure that no one was bringing in water bottles. Try the sweater trick I mentioned earlier and you may be able to luck out!

Anyone else on here go to BOTH the first 2 shows?? How much better was Gaga tonight?? Seriously she was on fire the whole ****ing night.. I cried my eyes out during dope and danced my ass off the rest of night..

Yeah, tonight's show (Sunday) was much better than Friday's. Gaga was in a better mood (I thought) and the sound mix was miles better. I stood in the same place both nights so I know they tweaked the mix between nights. Good job soundboard guy, thanks! lol

Did you notice she cut monster in half and she added an acapella intro to Bad Romance and G.U.Y. Also Sexxx Dreams (Interlude) [after the song was done, but she kept singing the lyrics] was different too.

I'm heading for queue now. I'm on my own and am wearing the glasses from my avatar. Also: my bangs shift from teal to blue.

Gonna try to be front for Starlight, then move to the back and just dance to Gaga :D

What time did you get on line??

What time did you get on line??

First show I got in line around 3:30pm. Second show I didn't bother getting in the line until 5:30pm. It just gets to be a mess when they start letting people into the venue and all the pushing at the front is too much drama for me. I'd rather stand in the back and see what I can than be in the front getting annoyed, lol.

There is still some pushing that happens by the soundboard, however. The crowd is rougher than I am used to for shows I usually go to tbh...

I thought Monster was cut both nights, but yeah I did like all the acapella stuff she added this time. I also thought her banter was more humorous this time. I taped the show and listened to it the whole 3-hour train ride back upstate, haha. Now I've got to get out of bed and ride the train back to the city... I'm gonna be so tired tomorrow!!

So even when you got in line at 3:30 you were in the very back?

That day when I got inside I was about 10-15 rows back from the stage, but I am short and couldn't really see and my friend wasn't feeling great so I just gave up and went to the back.
