Lady Gaga’s Singapore tour sparks ticket frenzy and scalping outrage

Estimated: 1 min  reading

Lady Gaga's upcoming MAYHEM Tour in Singapore has sparked an unprecedented rush for tickets, leading to concerns over scalping and inflated resale prices. The pop icon is scheduled to perform at the National Stadium on 18, 19, 21, and 24 of May, marking her first return to Singapore since 2012 and her exclusive Asian performances.

Official ticket prices range from S$148 to S$368, with VIP packages priced between S$648 and S$1,348. However, within minutes of the Mastercard pre-sale launch today, virtual queues swelled to over one million, and scalpers began listing tickets on resale platforms at exorbitant rates. Notably, some VIP tickets have been spotted on the Carousell application for as much as S$30,000.
