Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball: The Ticket Frenzy
Okay, so Lady Gaga's finally coming to Australia with "The MAYHEM Ball" tour after an 11-year wait – and let me tell you, the ticket situation was WILD. Three massive shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, and Little Monsters everywhere went absolutely bonkers trying to snag tickets. It was a total chaotic mess, and I'm here to spill the tea on everything that went down.
Just How Much Did Those Tickets Cost?
Prices? Oh honey, they were ALL over the place. It was one of those dynamic pricing things, you know? During the presales, you could find nosebleed seats for around $113.06. But then there were these VIP packages… a cool $1,581.12! Seriously. General admission ranged from a more reasonable (relatively speaking!) $204.80 at the back to over $300 closer to the stage. Seated tickets? Forget about it. Level 1 seats at Marvel Stadium were pushing almost $650. Yikes.
The Presale Mayhem: A Disaster (but a Fun One?)
The Mastercard and Vodafone presales? Let's just say it was absolute chaos. Thousands of fans were stuck in online queues for ages, reporting all sorts of tech glitches and general frustration. It kinda felt like watching a slow-motion trainwreck. Tickets sold out in minutes, of course. If you missed out, don't panic! There's still hope.
