Lady Gaga is giving fans what they’ve been waiting for, but as they say, timing is everything.
On Wednesday, the “Telephone” artist announced she would be embarking on a global tour later this year, inviting fans–self-described “Monsters”–to come see her during The Mayhem Ball.
“I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going,” Gaga wrote in a March 26 social media post, noting the concert series “came together super quickly thanks to [Live Nation CEO] Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks.”
The 38-year-old Grammy winner explained her upcoming shows would be held at arenas to give her the “opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums.” Something Gaga said she “can’t wait” for.
“This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it. The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters,” she concluded.
It goes without saying that fans are clearly excited about the new slate of shows, but many were also concerned about the cost and availability of tickets.
“MOTHER I’M BROKE OMG PLSSS MAKE THE TICKETS AFFORDABLE,” one X (formerly TwitteR) user wrote.
“Welp, my wedding is about to be potluck and byob,” a second joked.
“i cannot explain how scared i am for tickets…” a third simply shared.
“I’m actually sweating so much thinking about how hard the MSG tickets will be to get,” another wrote. “NYC gays you better watch out I will be there no matter the cost.”
“MOTHER I’M NOT READY AT ALL AND I HAVE NO MONEY BUT FOR YOU I’ll SELL A KIDNEY,” someone else desperately quipped.
A different fan on Instagram compared getting tickets to the Hunger Games.
“Mom, I’m out of money!” one more declared, begging, “Please, make the tickets cheaper!”
Her highly-anticipated tour is set to kick off in Las Vegas on July 16, followed by stops in Seattle, New York City, Miami, and Chicago. Gaga’s international dates will jet her to Toronto, London, Manchester, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam and Antwerp.
Those interested in trying their luck at scoring a seat should set an alarm for the presale on March 31 at noon PDT.
