Even if she would have performed for 11k people. How is that bad? Why do they always have to make such a big deal out of it? 
Of course, because it is Gaga.
These are Rihanna's receipts from the same venue, when she performed with ther DWT Tour:
Quote:
Attendance: 10,929 / 10,929
Gross: $780,143

So Billboard had reported she grossed $24M from the North American leg alone, and supposedly Dubai is sold out and the cheapest tickets were $400 so she should be grossing a pretty good amount from that date.

Billboard reported that the NA leg of the tour grossed over $26M back on the 6th of March, when the 6 new dates weren't even added.
The number is well above that, considering two and a half months have passed since then, the tour started + 6 new dates have been added for the NA leg.
She could easily gross over $40M from the NA leg alone, considering she has the most expensive tickets from all her peers. She's like the only artist that has $200 priced tickets for the LVL1 seats of the arena.

Tonight was incredible. Just wow. Okay.
First of all, ARTPOP Zone was so well handled. The pre-show party wasn't just cheese and crackers and Dr. Pepper. The food was gourmet and the drinks, alcoholic or non, were all free. The zone itself was PERFECT. It's so spacious and the seating worked out very well. I was seat 1, so I got the best spot since I was in the front corner. I could see everything with no one obstructing my view... awesome. And the backdrops were amazing, dancing was such a step up, and it was really just a fun show and that's it. She didn't overcomplicate it with theatrics or story lines, it was just super fun and I was able to let loose which I normally don't do at concerts.
Meeting her was... I can't even. We had a group chat for a good 20-30 minutes with some tea that I could probably sell to TMZ, but some people asked such dumb questions and it's like, can you ask something useful? I know that everyone paid their $1,500 and had the right to ask whatever, but come on. When she talked about the art, the critics, etc. though, I just loved it. Hearing her talk in person you just know how passionate she is about everything and that her art is her life. I think she could go on for hours... she's so intelligent.
The individual meet and greets kinda disappointed me because it was so rushed. I honestly think I got 1 minute with her... maybe 2 minutes max. And for only 20 people, they could've given us some more time. I said almost everything I wanted to say, got my TFM super deluxe signed, and I think my picture turned out great (I asked her to take her sunglasses off, I wanted it to be more personal). BUT, I forgot to ask for a ****ing selfie and that was the #1 thing I wanted out of it. ****. I just felt so rushed and her personnel were so intimidating. Also, I gave her this doggy sweater for Asia:
She and her staff were dying laughing and they loved it, so if she posts a pic/video of Asia in it, just know the good sis Haus made it 
Overall I had such a good time, I'm just sad that it's over. Concerts always go by so fast. I'm for sure going to Milwaukee and Chicago now... there's just no way I'm missing out. It's seriously a great show, even if I won't be able to have ARTPOP Zone I know I'll still have fun. If there were ARTPOP Zone tickets still available, I'd buy it in a ****ing heartbeat. Totally worth it.

Not that you guys would know, but it wasn't random. A fan threw a letter on stage and she read it and it explained how the guy's sister was in an abusive relationship for 4 years, like REALLY bad. Bruises, cigarette burns, he treated her awfully. Then he gave her a copy of BTW and The Queen became her empowerment anthem, allowing her to find the confidence to leave him and seek therapy.
Sometimes I question the authenticity of stories like that, if they're just to get GaGa's attention, but I'll put my faith in the fan base that most people wouldn't do something as low as that.

Someone on GGB asked the same thing  I don't know how she smelled but her hugs were glorious. It was like hugging your grandmother. So delicate yet warm and inviting and loving. She hugged me like 4 times too. First when I entered, then when I gave her the Asia hoodie, then when I told her I won the Stache sound puzzle, and then a final time when I told her how I've been a fan since I was 12 years old and she helped shape me to the person I'm proud to be
I'm not going to say a word because it was all about possibilities and I don't want people twisting her words if they were just to appease hopeful fans. I hate to sound like a tease, I shouldn't have even mentioned it.

I'll just post it. Someone asked if she'll ever collaborate with Beyoncé again and GaGa said that if they ever do, she would want to wait at least 5 years so that they're at more evolved points in their careers. So all she really said about that is that we probably won't be getting another collab anytime soon.

LMAO, I was pondering that for a few seconds just imaging her reaction. I feel like it would've killed the mood if anybody asked so I'm kinda glad no one has asked.

Thanks! I hope you could tell it was a doggy sweater, I realized I didn't put that in my post so on Asia's back that's where it'll say the saying.
Oh and asking her about Gypsy being a single is another thing I wanted to bring up, but I was too nervous/in shock in the group discussion and too rushed in the individual

Tbh that was the only thing she really said when it comes to upcoming endeavors. Oh, someone asked if she's coming to Brazil (  !!!) and she said she wants to but it's not in the plan. She told us something that she said she's never told anyone before so I will obviously not share that with anyone, but it isn't some major "OMG" type thing, just a feeling of hers, so it's nothing for you to really be interested in hearing.

AAAAh 
So happy you had such a great time!
I'm sorry you feel a bit disappointed that the individual m&g was a bit rushed BUT the whole group got 20 minutes, right? So it's not like you only saw her for seconds.
Since I also have ARTPOP zone tickets (for London) could you write down exactly how it all went down, when could you check in, did you get a gift, where were you before the show, when could you go down to the zone (after starlight? ), how long did you have to wait for Gaga, did you see anyone from her dancers or staff backstage? Write it down whenever you feel to, or don't if you don't want to LOL

Soooooooo are you hinting at TEA being on Act2?
