Lady Gaga’s "The Mayhem Ball" tour, announced last week, to promote her album Mayhem, faced major fan backlash after the artist pre-sale revealed high ticket prices.
Set for arenas like Madison Square Garden (MSG) on August 22-26, the tour promised intimacy but shocked fans with MSG pre-sale tickets starting at $600 for nosebleeds and $1,100 for lower bowl seats, far exceeding European prices.
U.S. prices, driven by Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing, dwarfed her 2022 Chromatica Ball costs, alienating fans despite Mayhem’s #1 debut. Social media erupted over the disparity and perceived elitism, with unsold tickets lingering despite huge demand.
As the tour looms from July 16 to November 20, the backlash—echoing past pricing gripes—threatens Gaga’s bond with her "Little Monsters," raising questions about potential price adjustments.
