Lady Gaga announces a tour for her album “Mayhem”. She will also play two concerts in Berlin. But the pre -sale makes many fans disappointed. Anger mainly triggers ticket prices.
The joy was great at first when Lady Gaga announced on social media on March 26, contrary to her original plans, to go on tour this year. The US superstar will also play two concerts in Berlin.
The official pre -sale for her “The Mayhem Ball” tour started on Thursday – and quickly developed into a battle for tickets, which one or the other fan desperately compared to the film “Hunger Games”.
Anyone who had actually made it with a lot of nerve strength and without system crashes through the almost endless online queues were faced with the next shock in the virtual sales room: the prices for tickets rose with demand.
The final opponent of all fans is called “Dynamic Pricing” and recently caused outrage and anger when selling Oasis. “Swifties” can also sing a song about it. Taxet prices for Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” were temporarily up to $ 22,500. “Dynamic Pricing” allows providers to adapt ticket prices depending on the demand, often influenced by bots and resellers, in real time.
“Fuck everyone!”
For German “Little Monsters”, as Lady Gaga calls her fans, this meant that tickets cost over 100 euros even in the worst categories. Premium tickets that were not even VIP cards went up to over 1000 euros. Both Berlin concerts were still sold out a few minutes after the pre -sale started at 12 noon.
Particularly frustrating for many real fans: As soon as the run was over on the cards and the concert sold out, the first tickets were offered on resale platforms at horrendous prices.
“Fuck everyone who is currently selling their Lady Gaga tickets. If you don’t want to go to the damned show, then do not buy damn tickets. You are greedy sluts, honestly,” an angry fan summarizes the basic mood of the empty Little Monsters at X.
