Hoey 1 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What time did the show finish? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alijandro 9 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Show was fantastic. Well organised. Very professional, fast paced and enjoyable. Pictures and images don't convey it. I had the same reservations about the Born This Way Ball after seeing videos and photos but actually seeing it in person is just so different. **** I wish I bought more tickets and flew around a bit more but after one APZ I was kind of broke :lol: as for my APZ experience I kept it short I was there last night and was pretty happy. I also don't think we should repeat specifically what was said, but she spoke to us for a good 90 minutes. It might've even gotten closer to two hours. But she was very up front and candid. She talked about quite a few different topics, both heavy hitting and light hearted, but I do think it's rude if people are talking about what she said. There were times when the conversation devolved into gossip and you could tell she was getting visibly annoyed but certain people kept asking her. I think she answered truthfully, but like they told us before hand, that was as a conversation between fans and the artist so she was probably not wanting it to get out. I wish people would respect that aspect more and now I totally understand why people were getting annoyed at fans for leaking that video of her talking **** about Azealia Banks after the Oz performance. It just creates petty arguments between stanbases and I'm glad the group I walked out with brought it up as we left because a lot of us agreed it was not the best thing to do. But oh well. I loved when she played three songs from Cheek To Cheek. She sang directly to me and looked into my eyes during Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered which is something I'll never forget. You can tell she loves the music and that the album really helped her to develop as an artist. I really hope it does well and opens her up to new demographics. She played Firefly, Lush Life and BBB. She even told me how much she loved my shirt because it represented the four albums and the four eras before the photo. When we took our photo I put my arm around her but she pulled me closer so that was really nice, I think she liked me ^_^ I do agree the photos were rushed but that was after a two hour chat session (the lights were turned off on us, for christs sakes) and the staff can't stay there forever. It doesn't help that people were breaking the rules that they imposed (ie. don't ask her to sign anything else) and pissing security off, who more or less run the show as they have strict schedules to adhere to. Honestly the only true disappointment was that water cost $5. With such a high price, I would've thought drinks would've been included while on-stage since most people wouldn't drink that much anyway because they wouldn't want to meet Gaga in a drunken stupour. Even drinks post-rave were free. She was so cute when she was asking for the drinks. and it's such an intense show I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was severely dehydrated. I understand the bar serves the water from bottles but at least get a big keg of it ro some **** lolol I just feel likes some of the fans there were a little bit too entitled and it felt like they were using her a bit. but generally speaking it was a really great group. I really loved the experience and I'm really glad I did it. In fact, I'd do it again. EDIT: Reading around Twitter and Facebook you would think half the people who were there weren't even listening to what she was saying, jesus christ. I 100% respect and admire your attitude towards the whole thing! it makes me uneasy when all this info leaks from the meet and greets. I heads about the photos being rushed, but imo getting to be with her in a social setting is just as good as the one on one, as long as you did have a bit to say something personal :) The drinks thing was a bit disappointing though, I heard even the on stage drinks weren't free? It's not like anybody is going to be abusing the free alcohol if they're going to be meeting gaga, and water is just a basic expectation tbh. Glad your experience was great overall :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
high heeled fem 3 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Today was his only apz, the rest is GA. thank god Thanks :) It's hard to say because they're both amazing shows, but I think the whole experience was better for me at artRAVE because I was in GA and so close to her at some points when she was on the bridges/walkways awsome :) can u roll in at 7pm to the ga? iwanna be moving about a bit bt walk ways not near the front stage Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 450 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 thank god awsome :) can u roll in at 7pm to the ga? iwanna be moving about a bit bt walk ways not near the front stage Well they only started letting people in at Perth at 7pm, so if it's the same elsewhere you might be a bit far back in the line if you arrive then, but you'll most likely still be able to get a great spot near the walkways :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth 450 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Shoutout to anyone who filmed anything, please upload it to youtube, there's a distinct lack of videos up from the Perth show! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_ 1 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Why be so rude about it? People are allowed to ask to get tattoos written etc. Gaga says yes, so why should it affect you? It's not even about that, it's the fact that one person has got something more than everyone else despite paying the same amount. I totally understand why they put that rule into place, because it means she won't be wasting half of the meet and greet just signing assorted and random items. I had a friend who had a session booked the next day to get her signature tattooed but of course we were told it was strictly not allowed, yet somebody still broke those rules. Fair enough Gaga said yes but as if she would say no in any situation. If you guys were there and saw how Security were behaving towards that person after she broke those rules which were very clearly specified before during and after the social meet and greet than you would understand where I am coming from. It's about respect. Some people are just too selfish. But oh well, I don't mind either way, I didn't want anything signed since the experience and the photo is more than enough. So glad to see a fan who really respects her. Thanks for shearing your experience! I 100% respect and admire your attitude towards the whole thing! it makes me uneasy when all this info leaks from the meet and greets. I heads about the photos being rushed, but imo getting to be with her in a social setting is just as good as the one on one, as long as you did have a bit to say something personal [:)] The drinks thing was a bit disappointing though, I heard even the on stage drinks weren't free? It's not like anybody is going to be abusing the free alcohol if they're going to be meeting gaga, and water is just a basic expectation tbh. Glad your experience was great overall [:)] Thanks guys, I'm glad you understand where I am coming from. After a two hour show (or maybe a bit less) most people would just want to go to sleep or get to their hotel and relax. Nobody in Perth is doing meet and greet tickets besides Gaga. Combining these two facts it makes me think that I should be happy with whatever we get and respect Gaga for giving us this opportunity as fans. Shoutout to anyone who filmed anything, please upload it to youtube, there's a distinct lack of videos up from the Perth show! I always do my filming of stuff at the second show I attend so I really do apologise for not filming anything. I only instagrammed the opening :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only instagrammed the opening :( No need to apologise! I guess if I should've done it myself rather then hoping someone else would, but I just always presume there's going to be someone who films it and puts it on youtube. Hopefully someone has, and they just haven't uploaded it yet. The main part I wanna watch over is Dope and Born This Way and when she gave the shoutout to Queen!

I really should have done that because my least favourite part of all her shows are the piano parts, even though by that point I was so freaking dehydrated and needed a break haha. Hopefully someone does though I think that would be great. Perhaps everyone created a bystander effect haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatSLAYGUY 68 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Aaaah I still can't believe last night happened!! I hope everyone had an amazing time One thing that did annoy me while I was walking out the show was this chick saying, "Like we get you're different, just tone it down" This is not what someone goes to a Lady Gaga concert for! All throughout the show she was actually bashing the people who said this!! Also annoying was hearing people saying she was glamourising addiction with the song Dope, DID PEOPLE NOT LISTEN TO THE LYRICS OR THE SPEECH BEFORE HAND!!!! Sorry I just had to get this off my chest :P /rant Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
