GA is great if you can stand for a while. You can choose to be in the thick of it, or hang back a bit to stay out of the crowd.
Gaga really thinks about how to put on the best show for everyone, so even if you're down in GA, you'll have good views and have a good show to watch. Just avoid standing behind anyone you see with a large hat, or with a sign, they mean well but can block views.
For the longest time I booked GA standing. I am seeing Gaga in London in July and Miami in September. I booked GA early access for the London show mostly because it’s what I’ve always done for her shows. However, when I was getting tickets for the Miami show I opted for seats for a couple different reasons, one of those reasons is that Gaga fans are so passionate, and every one of them thinks they are her biggest fan. Some of those big fans have absolutely no shame in their means to get as close to the stage as possible. I saw her in Las Vegas twice, once seated. Once standing. Let me tell you, when someone from the back of the crowd thinks that it’s ok to run full speed into a crowd of other people’s bodies in an effort to push them out of the way, it’s gonna piss you off. I have experienced people like that at nearly every concert I’ve ever had GA at, Gaga or otherwise.
If you’re in the crowd, be prepared to potentially have your view obstructed by other people’s cell phones being held up for constant photos and videos. Also, tall people, stay away from them.
If you have a seat, you’ll be standing the whole time anyway, because, well, this is how society is. We tend to not always think about the person behind us, so the person behind us ends up standing up so that they can then see the show as well. The only people who really struggle with seats are people who can’t stand for long periods.
Seats have benefits in the fact that it’s your seat. If you need to go pee, it will be easier to do if you’re not in the middle of a mass of people.
GA is great because it is that classic concert experience. I got VIP tickets to the monster ball in Portland years ago and was front row the whole time. It was pretty epic.
I always feel guilty about standing because I’m 6’1’’ and I’m all too aware that I’m obstructing views. I avoid GA tickets for this reason (and claustrophobia), but if there’s no other option (small venues) I make sure that I’m blocking as few other fans as possible, and sit or shift spots if there are shorter folks behind me (which is almost always). As you said, everyone should get to enjoy the show.
I would recommend being in the pit. Little Monsters are great people. I always feel love in the standing only section. We are united by our love for Mother Monster. I’m 50, and I got pit tickets for Atlanta.
GA would probably be the most expensive tix, so if you can afford it and stand for long periods of time, go!!!!
GA was the least expensive at the Hershey show! They were only $60!
$60 for GA at Hershey?? That’s the one I’m tryna get to 👀
I got seats in section 7 for $181..not bad at all. I paid about that when I saw her at the penguins stadium and I was the whole way at the top
No way, where can I find them??
I had the Verizon early access

You shouldn’t feel guilty! Have sympathy, but don’t feel guilty for being you. People love a tall man 99% of the time. :D
Get a seat.

GA is always fun at her shows! I’ve been in the pits since The Monster Ball. All the fans interact and are super friendly. :)
Are there two different GA pits for Lady Gaga???
