She is a behemoth in Taiwan. Born This Way went 10x platinum in Taiwan. However, it will be extremely hard for her to sell out because of the execrable ticket price in Taiwan. Standing A cost 435USD in Taiwan, 30% higher than Japan and double the figure of Hong Kong, albiet Taiwan salary is a lot lower than Japan and Hong Kong

That's insane, but I don't think we can blame Gaga. Obviously the promoters know how huge she is, so they're going to do what they can to profit from it. I feel so bad. D: I would never pay $435 for a damn ticket.

Also, I don't think we have to worry about Seoul. 40,000+ tickets sold with around 10,000 left. I don't think 40k is anything to frown at.

The queue in Taiwan is over 2 kilometers long.

However, after two hours of sale.... only section E、D (the cheapest tickets in tandem) sold out.

These are my tickets. =]

Willy.

Gaga is squeezing the pennies out of Taiwan, like the high-class artist she is.

The promoter right now paid extra 1.2million to Lady Gaga to plunder the original contract from another promoter..... and the extra cost bites back at all fans

--------

I think the Seoul date does extremely well.

Ps. An anecdote.... 435USD can actually cover the cost of a Taiwanese flying to Korea, and attending Korean Standing A section. There will even have spear money to do some shopping......

So we can blame Gaga.

Get on that Forbes list, Gaga.

I'm still anxious about Gaga touring the UK during the Olympics.
I checked The O2 and it's practically booked up, so it looks like she's x4 arena capacity for a stadium

We've got the most expensive tickets price in Asian. Our price at Standing A section double the price of other prominent Asia countries, such as Singapore and Hong Kong

Do you know who the original contract was with? That would have meant she would have performed at a diff. venue, right?

Yes. They originally opted for BBH - Brokers Brothers Herald group. They arranged Gaga to be paid with 1.61 million dollars, and play in the Pan-Chiao Stadium.....

However, Kuang Hong Arts lured her with extra 1.2million (2.81million altogether), and get the deal in the end.

What's worse..... grapevines reveal that they only sold 100 435USD tickets in the past 5hrs.

The Standing era will be "EMPTY"

Ps. Seems like there won't be any add dates.

But I mean, it's not like Gaga demanded them pay more. They wanted her there, so they paid her more. Of course she or her team's gonna accept it.
