Started tonight in Manchester, did anybody go? The staging/setlist is expected to be totally different from the American leg so we are hopefully in for a treat!

I am going to the second London date next weekend. Who else is going? This is THE place to talk about the tour and post videos photos etc.

    Just got in from Manchester's Monster Ball.

    What can I say. BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!

    She was amazing, just brilliant. She pointed at me too during 'Money Honey', right at me, I nearly died haha. Fantastic show (even if it started 45 mins late, and caused me to miss my train home :p)

    As Gaga said: "Everyone is cool at the Monster Ball". It was brilliant, worth every penny paid for it.
    I'm currently uploading my pics and vids and I'll post a link so you guys can see them on my facebook page.

    I can confirm for you.......
    * The staging is totally different - here, it is HUGE and is much more varied and features a catwalk

    *Telephone has been added into the setlist, as has Vanity - "Eh eh" appears to have been dropped

    *Loads of wacky structures and set ideas are used and it's a real work of art - a huge monster in 'Paparazzi' for example, and a subway train for Lovegame

    *A LOT of fire on pianos

    *The dancers, I think, are the same - watch out for the VERY hot blonde woman. :p

    I've seen a few videos/pictures from last night, looks amazing! I have standing tickets and was wondering where you think it would be best to stand? I'm thinking at the end of the catwalk so that I can see everything.

    ONE OF BEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE!

    Despite the long delay, the show was amaaaazing, i loved every minute, especially her performance of just dance WHICH I LOVED :)

    The support acts were also really enjoyable.

    It was mainly loads of different t-shirts (about £20) and hoodies (think they were £50), and you could get posters, masks, sunglasses etc.

    End of the catwalk would be good but I think where I was, was probably the best place - it was in the corner right at the front, just to the left of the catwalk. :D

    It was ace, one of my fave bits were the videos that were played between songs though.

    The monster during Paparazzi was :eek:

    Initially I was stood right at the end of the catwalk, but lots of tall and annoying people meant we moved back towards the mixer, and the view was even better, more space as well :)

    Right in the middle of standing, there was no one there bar the beermen and a few stragglers :D
    I was on the left side of the catwalk for the 2 support acts but everyone around me was too tall, booo.

    im going next friday to the 02 (though on top tier :S)

    but just wondering what are the timings? all i have so far is that the gates open at 6.30! however i'll be coming from school which ends at 4:15 so was wondering if i needed to be that at 6.30 on the dot or come like at 7 to see the supporting acts!

    I'm doing the same, except I'll be "sick" that day.

    I'd expect these to be the rough timings:

    6.30 - doors open
    7.15 - Semi Precious Weapons come on
    7.45 - Semi Precious Weapons leave stage
    8.10 - Alphabeat come on
    8.40 - Alphabeat leave stage
    9.00 til' 10.45 - Lady Gaga!!!

    They were my two options but I was worried that if I went right to the front (to the side of the catwalk), she would have her back to us quite alot.
