I'm not into Lady Gaga's music but I won't refute that she's one of, if not the biggest, pop star right now in the world. Her kicking off her tour in Seoul is pretty surprising. I'm contemplating going to see the show.
I don't listen to Beyonce but I went to her concert in Seoul on a date and I have to say, the performance was fun. I think Lady Gaga's show will be bizarre, over top, and pretty entertaining, even for those who don't like her music. |

How many people would go to a Springstein concert in Seoul? Maybe like 1000 foreigners and a couple Koreans that got lost.
The man will sell out any venue in the US, but I don't he'd fill up half of Jamsil stadium. Poor guy wouldn't know what to do when he got up on stage and saw no one in the stands. |

As someone who has always railed against Lady Gaga for being "too French-frying much," (yet enjoyed all the hits from her last album), I'm oddly excited to go. I never ever thought I'd utter such a sentence.
I think it's mostly because this is my first real concert here, large scale etc. and EVERY DAMN BODY I know is going. Quite the partay.
Side note: she posted a sketch of the stage on the Twitters recently. http://twitpic.com/8gqtq9 Ridiculous.

I remember the Beyonce concert was really good. 2 weeks before that I went to Lee Hyori's concert.
The scale, the energy, the atmosphere was COMPLETELY different.
The amount of money that American superstars is ridiculous. Even one of Korea's top stars can't come close to matching the scope IN THEIR COUNTRY.
BTW, I'm pretty the tickets for this Gaga show are going to be EXPENSIVE. I would not be surprised at all if floor tickets are ~$300. |

To get the front seats at a broadway musical production in Korea, you are paying alike 100-150,000w a ticket. I'm pretty sure Gaga will be between 100-300k for the floor tickets. I'm sure the Korean ticketing offices will milk this for all its worth.
And you know what, with all the money and the number of rich people in Seoul, the Gaga show could be $300 a ticket and it will still sellout.
Although, I doubt they will be THAT expensive. I'm just saying, if it were I wouldn't be surprised. |

When I was in middle school I could've gone to see Nirvana play but I thought the tickets were too expensive (kids that age didn't have much money).
A few months later Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Looking back on it, I really wish I could've been to that show. |

Because I'm bored, I just went to LiveNation and found the price for Hong Kong tickets.... $60 USD to $200 USD. Way less than I expected, but of course who really knows what Korea will bring.
Speaking of, who is the Ticketbastard of Korea? |

Let's hope for similar results! Just kidding. Seoul probably is a great spot for a poppy star/group to open an international tour. In most countries, you're limited to the 10-20, or so, age group. Here, 10-40 year old people listen to the same cult-pop music. Instead of one mom chaperoning twelve girls, you sell twenty-three more tickets, since the parents listen to the same music as their twelve year old daughters. This country is a brilliantly marketed, collectivist goldmine. |
