Lady Gaga's Asia-exclusive Mayhem shows kick off in Singapore this Sunday. But it seems that it's not seeing the same hype and demand as Taylor Swift’s six Southeast Asia-exclusive shows in Singapore during her Eras Tour last year.
The 39-year-old Mother Monster is performing here on four nights: May 18-19, 21 and 24. A quick check shows that only the May 24 show is sold out; and single seat and restricted view tickets for the three other shows are still available.
This is a stark contrast to the initial rush when Gaga tickets first went on sale, with some overseas fans even rushing to book flights and hotel stays here even before tickets went on sale.
At one point, scalpers listed VIP packages for as much as S$30K on resale platforms such as Carousell and Viagogo.
However, a recent check shows that ticket resale prices on these sites have now dropped significantly, returning closer to their original retail price.
One was even seen offloading a S$328 ticket for as low as S$280.
In contrast, on official ticketing platforms Ticketmaster, Klook and Krisflyer, prices range between S$148 to S$368, while VIP packages are priced from S$648 to S1,348.
Authorities have issued a statement reminding everyone to only buy concert tickets from the three official platforms.
In comparison, all six shows for Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Singapore last year sold out rapidly, and a surprise release of extra tickets closer to the concert dates saw them snapped up within hours.
Scalpers reportedly made huge profits from Eras tour tix, and hotel prices across the city skyrocketed (even Hotel 81 charging more than S$400 a night).
In contrast, room prices during Lady Gaga’s concert week remain relatively normal.
Budget options near the National Stadium are still available at S$100 to S$150 per night, and mid-range options like Hotel Boss are listed at around S$130 per night.
