I might sound like an old turd now but seeing these pictures of fans standing in queue. Thought out their gear weeks or maybe months in advance and wearing em so proudly.
It touches my heart, it really does.
I'm kinda too old for this as 30-something soccer mom but if this is what Gaga has made you become, being proud of yourself for who you are and brave enough to not let anyone stand in your way....hat off to you boys and hat off to Gaga for enabling this movement.

Well tickets are always on sale in the morning on school days (same thing happened for BTW Ball). My parents won't pay $200+ dollars for a seat afterwards anyways, and now with some new seats a available, a less than one day notice won't work.
I'll be there in spirt
Despite dragging the opening acts and ARTPOP, the album, more positive reviews:
Quote:
"But that didn’t mean it wasn’t really fun. In three dimensions, even the flimsiest Lady Gaga songs benefit exponentially from the fact that the woman is sweating it out in a series of Halloween costumes from the future.
She embellished her sweetest ear candy with the most far-out eye candy, tapping out a portion of her evergreen breakout hit “Just Dance” on a keytar shaped like a sea horse.
“You have to believe in yourself from the inside,” she said during “Born This Way,” transforming her signature equality anthem into an affectionate piano ballad. “Every day I get on this stage, you do that for me.” For a pop concert in an arena, it felt good. As a public exercise in reciprocal, unconditional love, it felt unique."
Monday night little monsters flocked to the Verizon Center to sing, dance and rave the night away at Lady Gaga’s (aka Mother Monster) “artRAVE” tour. And a rave it was. Gaga appeared in good spirits during the show as she transformed the Verizon Center into an underground warehouse-esque dance rave.
The rave part of the show came in full force with one of the closing numbers, “Applause.” Gaga admitted that despite the hatred she has gotten she keeps performing for the love of the applause and that’s why she wrote the song. The strobe lights blinked on and off as Gaga and her dancers ran around the stage clapping. For the first time during the show, the entire venue seemed to be jumping, dancing, clapping and singing along. The show felt more like a party than a concert.
Despite the rocky start with her opening acts, “artRAVE” proved Lady Gaga has gotten as far as she has because of her great performances. Little monsters young and old, some dressed in crazy outfits and others dressed in simple jeans and T-shirts, were squealing over the fun they just had after the show. “My music and my fans, I feel like we have a heartbeat,” Gaga said during her “Born This Way” rendition. “I wanted you to be transported to an alternate universe. A place where in case you aren’t being yourself you can just check yourself for two hours.” Mission accomplished, Gaga.
Went to this last night and was impressed. Came not knowing what to expect but my teen is inspired by her so I thought it was a nice surprise treat. Sold out clearly and the energy was very inclusive and feel-good like the writer suggests. I now see why she is so loved, and the music was actually pretty good too!

I was there last night, was a fan of her older stuff but (like the writer) didn't really like her new album. Decided to go anyway, and man I had a blast. The woman is a performer, straight and simple. Even though Artflop was not so great, she took absolute mediocrity and made it amazing with the passion she gives for live events.
Also you'd be shocked to learn that the beer line was nonexistent. :P
