Lady Gaga fans have taken to social media to issue their outrage over the price of tickets for her upcoming Australian Tour.
The Poker Face hitmaker, 39, is headed Down Under for the first time in 11 years as part of her Mayhem Ball tour.
However, as the first presale kicked off on Monday, fans were left shocked and out of pocket when they saw the ticket prices for the anticipated shows.
Many angry fans claimed that dynamic ticket pricing had sent the cost soaring.
Dynamic pricing means that the price of tickets will rise or fall based on demand.
One fan, taking to X this week, shared screenshots of the ticketing page for one of Gaga’s Melbourne Marvel Stadium shows.

The screenshots show Mastercard and Vodafone standing room presale tickets going for a reasonable $204.80.
Another shot showed prices for seated tickets, which ranged from $539 to $649.
‘Lady gaga #Melbourne Marvel stadium pricing,’ the fan wrote.
‘Dynamic pricing is on (ticket prices rise due to demand). Meaning cheapest ticket is around $300 for nosebleed seats. And a whopping 550/650 for mid to front seated in the stands. Rear floor 255,’ they continued.
Another shared a screenshot that showed ‘nosebleed’ seats going for almost $500.
‘No bloody way. I’m not paying that much for seats in the nosebleeds for Gaga. Bloody dynamic pricing.’
A third, chuffed that they managed to secure tickets, added it was bittersweet due to the cost of the experience.
‘Won the lady gaga ticket war but at what cost (a big f*** you to dynamic pricing,’ they wrote.

Another echoed the sentiment.
‘Got melb lady gaga tickets. But goddamn f*** dynamic pricing, this shouldn’t be allowed,’ they wrote.
However, a Ticketmaster spokesperson said in a statement that dynamic pricing was not used.
‘Ticketmaster does not have surge pricing or dynamic algorithms to adjust ticket prices,’ the spokesperson said.
‘Tickets were priced in advance of the sale and set at the individual seat level.’
Speaking of the tour on Instagram, Lady Gaga revealed that she ‘wasn’t planning’ on doing a world tour in 2025, however the ‘incredible response’ to her latest album Mayhem inspired her to take it to the international stage.
‘It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks,’ she said.
She went on to say that her team ‘chose arenas’ for the tour in order to ‘control the details of the show’ as opposed to stadiums where it’s just not possible.
‘This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it,’ she signed off the post, adding: ‘See you soon, monsters.’

Lady Gaga left fans in awe as she took to the stage for a jaw-dropping performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California
Gaga’s Mayhem Ball tour will hit Melbourne on December 5 and 6, before heading to Brisbane on December 9. It will wrap up in Sydney on December 12
Lady Gaga left fans in awe as she took to the stage for a jaw-dropping performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California on Friday night.
It’s the second time the pop star has headlined the annual music event, with her first being in 2017, but this time around she pulled out all the stops.
The Paparazzi hitmaker ensured it would be a performance fans would never forget, opening her set with track Bloody Mary, in which she donned a showstopping red dress and stood in front of a gothic-style backdrop complete with gargoyles and angels – with some fans likening the visuals to a ‘satanic ritual’.
The set, which was split into four acts and described as an ‘opera house in the desert’ by the singer, then saw Gaga launch into songs including Abracadabra, Judas and Scheiße.
At one point, the stage turned into a giant chess board for the song Poker Face, with Gaga and her dancers performing a choreographed dance battle between two groups, with the star emerging victorious.
Amid the stunning visuals, striking sets, numerous costume changes and of course her killer vocals, it left fans all saying the same thing – that it was ‘the best Coachella performance of all time’.
