Scalpers have swiftly capitalised on the high demand for Lady Gaga’s upcoming concerts in Singapore, listing tickets at exorbitant prices shortly after the initial pre-sale for Mastercard holders commenced.

Initially, official ticket prices on Ticketmaster ranged from SGD148 (RM492) to SGD368 (1,224), with VIP packages priced between SGD648 (RM2,156) and SGD1,348 (RM4,485).

However, within minutes of the pre-sale launch, resale platforms such as Viagogo and Stubhub featured tickets priced as high as SGD2,747 (RM9,140) each.

Additionally, a listing on Carousell advertised VIP tickets at an astronomical SGD30,000 (approximately RM100,000) before it was removed, reported The Straits Times.

The overwhelming demand was evident as the virtual queue for tickets surpassed one million within 10 minutes of the pre-sale opening

A Gaga fan, who declined to disclose her name, recounted the chaotic experience of securing tickets for the pop singer’s highly anticipated concert in Singapore.

“It was extreme madness. I was in the queue since 9.30 a.m. and got kicked out a few times. Thankfully, I got my hands on them, and I know my 14-year-old self is happy,” said the 29-year-old civil servant.

The fan managed to purchase three tickets at SGD268 (RM891) each for the 21 May show, which will mark her first time seeing Gaga perform live.

Gaga is scheduled to perform at Singapore’s National Stadium on 18, 19, 21, and 24 May—her only stop in Asia for this tour

Several pre-sales are planned before general ticket sales commence on 21 March. The Klook pre-sale is set to begin at 10 a.m. on 19 March via the Klook app, followed by the KrisFlyer pre-sale at noon on 20 March through Ticketmaster and KrisFlyerExperiences.com.

Live Nation members can also access pre-sales from noon on 20 March via Live Nation’s website.

The issue of ticket scalping has been a persistent problem in the live entertainment industry, often leading to inflated prices and limited access for genuine fans.

Despite efforts to curb such practices, the high demand for major artists like Gaga continues to fuel a lucrative secondary market.
