SINGAPORE –Just moments after the pre-sale for Lady Gaga’s Singapore concerts began on March 18 at 10 am, scalpers started reselling tickets at exorbitant prices, according to The Straits Times.
The pop icon is set to perform at the National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21, and 24—her only scheduled shows in Asia. Official ticket prices, available through Ticketmaster, range from $148 to $368, with VIP packages priced between $648 and $1,348.
Overwhelming demand
Due to overwhelming demand, Ticketmaster assigned buyers virtual queue numbers, with over one million users waiting within the first 10 minutes of sales. Kallang Alive Sport Management (KASM) and concert organiser Live Nation estimate that more than 200,000 fans will attend the shows, drawing crowds from both Singapore and abroad.
Scalpers wasted no time listing tickets on resale platforms. On Carousell, concert tickets appeared within minutes of the pre-sale launch, with one VIP listing reaching an outrageous $30,000 before it was removed. Resale sites Viagogo and StubHub featured listings as high as $2,747 per ticket.
