craig 680 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Interesting that when you map American tour dates, only 4 are in red states - Atlanta plus 3 in Texas. I hear Atlanta is one of the worst selling too. And most of the BTW cancelled dates that weren't brought back were in red states too. Map of Red and Blue states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states Red states are the Republican voting, gay marriage opposing, and country music loving parts of the US. Katy's tour has far more dates in the red states. But she isn't counting on pop music to sell on it's own - she has Grammy winner Kacey Musgrave opening for her in country oriented markets.

Redstreak 6,653 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I wouldn't mind if Atlanta doesn't sell too well. Better chances of me getting a good spot. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think Gaga would discriminate fans just because they live in "red states"... Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzcutSeason 3,307 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well i'm sure it isn't planned like its just how it is. I mean us being us we read into everything more than it is. Not directly you. but just our fan base in general. plus not even just about gaga. people on LittleMonsters cry cuz they didn't win a contest to go to artRave or cuz they can't go. they also cry cuz they're alone on valentines day like wtf. and then they get upset cuz they aren't popular on there. I'm telling you if there was a little monsters high school it would be so dramatic.. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariomania1234 11,368 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I doubt Gaga would do that. That's not fair to her fans that live in red states. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince 4,688 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It seems that the red states are basically the opposite of what Gaga is, hence low ticket sales hence avoiding it. Bearing in mind that somewhere that doesn't believe in Gay marriage is just dumb anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Besides an Atlanta date and any location in Florida, the rest of the South is irrelevant. No Nashville date is weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronyoji 2,007 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 its not really her that personally handles the states she visits, live nation + her label basically do a surveying of what places she could sell well in. obviously red states won't take kindly to her folk and her queer lovin agender.

Robotboy 1,700 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 gaga doesnt really decide this stuff tho Remember that you are unique. Like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherside 0 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Probably because red states aren't as into her. She goes against everything they believe for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalOne 9,641 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 But there are plenty if open minded cities in these red states. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 25,015 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think Gaga would discriminate fans just because they live in "red states"... Right. She's just scheduled to play in places she knows she has a chance to sell out... Touring is a business, after all. She needs dem coins to work.
