Good. Now when you come back that night, your mind will be blown even more than you expected.

I know Sofia has super cheap tickets and I was told they had to move to an arena because the stadium was booked and they had to move last minute and the arena she played in was pretty big + full.
I think in the end, it was smart. Next time she should only hit one state and hopefully people will travel from all the states. |
Dr. Cake pointed out that his tickets and average ticket price was much lower than Gaga's, which obviously doesn't make sense to either of us because he performed for 10k and she performed for 22k. Something fishy happened because the numbers just do not add up in that situation.
Not sure about the Sofia arena, but I remember it not selling as well since the tickets sold for the stadium were just enough to fill up the arena. 
I don't mind so much either because she opened up to a whole new area of the world and now after being impressed, they will consider traveling to a different country to see her. Next time, she should do Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece and Turkey instead of Bulgaria, Romania, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. (Though Lithuania and Estonia weren't terrible.)
I'm still mad at her only going to Milan and performing in that tiny arena though.

She can easily fill the Olympic Stadium here . EASILY. Concerts in Greece have a whole lot different marketing approach than , say England or France . Potentional buyers may not be here for her music or whatever , but they are definitely here for her as an entertainer and ' someone crazy' . Apart from that see has a HUGE fanbase in Greece - she is just not aware I guess..
I can't really explain it to you , but Gaga can slay a Greek stadium without even trying.

The same was expected for Bulgaria and Romania, Gaga ain't ready yet for the Balkans, give her another 10 years.

Good to hear! I think she'll be embarking on a stadium-only tour for one of her next two albums, for which she'll tour stadiums, parks, and open fields. I think they are saving some cities/markets for that tour, so they will sell out... Rome, Istanbul, and Athens would be some of those cities in my opinion. I seriously hope they announce the tour right when the lead single is released and she starts the tour about a month after the album is released.. just a short one, so she can take about 6 to 12 months off in between to work on the follow-up album, and after that do a second leg of the ARTPOP tour and release the follow-up album afterwards

Okay, I'd be happy Gagz to tour Greece because I'll be able to get tickets, but let's be realistic, she won't be touring Greece, soon. At least if we're talking about the Olympic Stadium. The crisis is really bad but I wish to your country all the best because it's not that bad, the sea is to die for but very bad things happened and there's no turning back. and believe me, a stadium show >>>>>>>>>>>> arena show. So let's just wait.

That's what I'm trying to say. When it comes to concerts it's not like someone will go like "I can't give 70-100 euros " People in Greece want to be entertained. And they are willing to give that amount to see a performer.
It's not a coincidence that the greatest touring acts have given some of the bigest concerts of their legs (of a certain tour) in Greece. U2 , Madonna , Red Hot have all had one of their biggest attendances in the Olympic Stadium . Evanescence did really well and Marina and The Diamonds is comming too , the only one who flopped was Rihanna . Beyonce and Avril also did really well.
If Avril did well , Gaga will slay. Also considering the fact that more than 800 people from Greece went to Sofia to see Gaga is quite promising. It might be a relatively small amount , since the OAKA stadium could hold up to 60K people (for Gaga's stage , etc) , it is not quite reflective. But more than 800 people were willing to pay 400-500 euros (for the whole trip, the crisis means **** when it comes to entartaining ourselves.

A stadium-only tour won't happen in North America. And we all know Gaga well enough to know she won't do short tours. She'll probably end up doing another 100+ date world tour for ARTPOP.

That was what I was saying, but done differently. Do about 50 dates, take off 6 to 12 months and then do 60 additional dates with the same tour before releasing the follow-up
If she announces 10 to 15 stadium shows in the US and people know those will be the only ones, they'll sell out

You're probably a bit upset because there're no mind-blowing stadium shots anymore.
The leg ain't even over and I'm sure it'll do better than Oceania. |
Agree.. arena concerts are so booooooooooring..

The people don't get my point.. what i've meant it's just that without Japan.. the asian gross wouldn't be something out of this world like it was..

LOL at without Japan. That's like me saying. South America (without Brazil). Like okay?? The only bad date in Asia was the Philippines. Everything else was successful and even Jakarta was sold out before it was cancelled.
The South America tickets were far more expensive and there were far less dates, so the average will obviously be higher. Not only that, but the amount of drama that came out of that was ridiculous. The discounts, the half empty stadiums, the underwhelming (still good, but you know what I mean) numbers. I want to forget that leg even happened.
Asia leg was technically weak, but it was still her most successful.
Anyway, I think NA will be her second best leg overall. |
searching for half empty stadiums
São Paulo
Bogota
Lima
Buenos Aires

No, she is ready for the Balkans. She did great in Bulgaria,sp she just had super cheap tickets.
Also, the way the show looks in an arena > stadium. In an arena, the lights reflect and bounce off everything, while the stage looks like a massive black hole in a stadium because of the stage cover.

That would be a massive gong-show to get tickets for.  And when those 15 sell out, she'd probably just add additional dates like she already does.
I'm just hoping that ifs shes gonna tour for ARTPOP, she not wait 11 months after its been released this time to start the tour.
