Lady GAGA or ticketmaster? scam fans in Florida & Michigan
There is an interesting story to be had for anyone looking to dig into the Lady GAGA tour ticket scandal. Here is what I know first hand as fact.
Lady GAGA tickets were onsale for a show at the Hard Rock at first then this announcement
The Jan. 3 Lady Gaga concert originally scheduled for the Hard Rock Live at Universal Orlando will now take place at the UCF Arena, according to Ticketmaster’s Web site.
The Monster Ball tour, headlined by Lady Gaga, who is nominated for five Grammy awards, will begin at the UCF Arena at 7:30 p.m.
Hard Rock Live ticket holders are being issued a refund and will need to purchase new tickets to the Arena show. Tickets are on sale now to Hard Rock ticket holders and will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday.
No big deal sometimes this happens sometimes but it is kind of rare, for a performer to change builings and then sell ZERO tickets
Hard Rock Orlando Hard Rock Live Orlando, a 3000-capacity concert venue
UCF Arena capacity is listed as 10,072 (concert)
So how do you cancel a show at a 3,00 seat venue and then move it into a 10,000 seat venue and sell ZERO tickets during the on sale …granted fans from the Hard Rock Orlando show were able to buy tickets first, using their ticketmaster order number from the canceled show …but who got the remaining near 7,000 tickets she is the hottest act n the country now and she wants to sell more tickets…. well here is what you dont know …When the rest of the tickets were put onsale to the public I tried to buy 2 tickets and then just 1 ticket and was not offered even a single ticket …..where did all the tickets go? I have no idea but this seems to be a story waiting to be written

Detriot Michigan – same story moved the show from a smaller venue to a larger venue and the same thing happend last night, Ticketmaster sold zero tickets to the show …something is not right
I do not have first hand knowledge of Chicago if they sold any tickets at the new onsale
