I'm still annoyed that the tickets are so expensive! For many students and people in their late teens like myself £77 for a standing ticket is a pile of piss.

I would much rather she not have all these weird expensive stage things and just have a basic set like Katy Perry! I mean she had a catwalk and props and went in the air etc and she was £27 both times I saw her! damn life

I wouldn't say this was a surprise or a shock. 2 UK dates was NEVER going to meet demand. Surely everyone knew that?

Also with her ''insiders'' saying this it makes the mad dash for tickets even more madder! which is exactly what they wanted.

The 2million figure is fantasy. The album hasn't even sold that much in the UK. She will sell out those dates with ease and will add more but that's a massive exaggeration

2 million was likely exaggerated/rounded up, but there's obviously mental demand for it...and this'll largely just be keen fans. Casuals won't have been frantically looking up tickets on the morning of a pre-sale.

They'll certainly be added dates at this rate.

Yippeee. Tickets purchased and hotel paid for. Manchester, here we come. I'm now very poor but it'll be worth it. Now, only 5 months to wait ha ha!

The Gaga hype and promotion machine is excellent. Madonna used have this wave of force but it is Gaga who now holds the torch. Impressive. I'm so excited and want tickets but will wait as I have a felling more will be announced!

I don't think it's complete fantasy. I hope to go with 4 other friends and i'm the only one who actually owns the album legally.

I do like her but she pisses me off alot with her facial expressions and voice changes BUT wouldn't Jessie J be a really good support act? Like I think she would be perfect to support, she's got quite a few decent songs, she's known fairly well now in Europe and in America, Australia etc just I don't know how long The Voice lasts for?

She could certainly support in Europe though! It'd tempt me more and more to pay!

Marketing genius. I know it's likely all bull, but I'm still definitely going to be one of those desperate fans buying as quickly as possible on Friday morning.

The figures will be high, though, because there's only a guaranteed 2 dates at this point, and nobody wants to miss her.

People who haven't bought the album will still be going. My friend hasn't bought the album but she's going - Gaga is far better as a live spectacle and sounds better, even, She simply copied my CD (with country road BTW added onto the end. with the Zedd MTN).

I don't think she's the only one that did that, or downloaded illegally, for that matter. I'd say for the amount sold, there'll be half that amount ontop of it that have the album in an un-counted format.

Yeah, for UK visit #2, Gaga's clearly going to just smash out 4 nights at Wembley and crap all over every other pop female in the business. "Oops, just became a legend" lol

I thought 'the darkness' were supporting.

I stand by the Scissor Sisters being the perfect support act for her. Wish they'd stuck around longer.

Don't particularly get what Lady Starlight will do considering she's just a DJ?

I'm so confused by all this presale stuff, how exactly are people buying tickets before they're on sale? I went on livenation.com and the only tickets i could find were special packages for like £180!! By the sounds of it, all the good tickets will be gone by friday

If you create an account with livenation now, there is a presale for general admission etc.

Did they all just sell out in 7 minutes!? It's saying they're all unavailable now after I managed to get through at 10...

I got my ticket just now. I went through both Ticketmaster and LiveNation. The Ticketmaster site wouldn't allow me to buy them but I had no problem with LiveNation

Second that. People read too much into sales = popularity. Like I gave my brother, sister and friends my CD to put on their iPods, but we all like her music.

Damn. Can't get my tickets today as there's a limit of 4 tickets per purchase and I need 7. Better hope all the good seats aren't gone by Friday morning!

Got my 4 tickets through Livenation this morning. I only tried on the off chance cause I thought you would need a password for the presale, but all you need is an account. Easiest tickets I've ever bought !

There will be 4 separate BTWB stages on rotation that will each require 5 days to construct. So, whilst she's in one city, the three other stages will already be in the next three cities being set up in preparation.

The stage has 30 metres of catwalk that will extend into the crowd and inclose "The Monster Pit" and it's going to take 60 trucks and 30 buses to transport everything and everyone.
