Bit annoyed I had to miss out on this, tickets were just too expensive and I live too far away from London and Manchester.

I highly doubt they'd let her play to a half empty stadium. Let's be realistic.

I think it's mainly because the second date is Sunday, I guess it's inconvenient for people having to go to work/school the next day

What would they do though? They'd be upsetting a hell of a lot of fans if she didn't play.

I think the tour dates for the UK have been messed up to be honest, she played several cities here last time around

As I've said before, I'd have been there like a shot if she were playing in arenas.

She sold 9000/55000 for Twickenham, so lots were given away this week around London and others reduced in price and put onto Livingsocial.

They'd have majorly stepped up promo long before now if they were genuinely worried. Radio interviews, press, posters etc. They were pretty on the ball with the rest of the tour...resulting in 100% sell outs so far. They really wouldn't be letting her play to a half empty stadium.

I imagine a lot of tickets were snapped up by 3rd party sellers when she announced the 2nd date because of the hype and now they're stuck with them - but to Live Nation they're sold so aren't bothered/aware that bums won't be on seats.

There'll inevitably be a last minute surge when Gaga arrives in the country later and parades around London, too. Had they been REALLY worried, they'd have got her here yesterday to drum up press and not chill in Germany watching the VMAs.

Stadiums are too big. I'd hate to see someone at a stadium! Especially since I've seen people in smaller venues (smaller than arenas). Smaller venues are so much better.

Tickets for all UK dates still available. Viagogo tickets less than half price now selling for less than £30.
By tomorrow they will be giving them away to try and get rid of the.
Sundays concert I imagine there will be loads of promo and free ticket giveaways. I hope Live Nation wake up and realise that the UK is sick of paying over priced tickets an being ripped off.

I find that hard to believe when whole sections are sold out

But she hasn't sold out any of the venues with exception to Saturdays date on Live Nation. General standing still available for loads of UK dates which is usually the first to sell out. So she obviously can't sell out these venues in minutes.
Happy to see that the touts again are having to sell tickets on third part sites for less than half price.

AMAZING evening- shame she was cut short and had to miss out 3 songs though( Poker Face, Alejandro and Americano). Nevertheless there were enough amazing songs to compensate!!

Due to a strict curfew enforced by Twickenham managers. Gaga was not happy and to be honest if you pay nearly 80 pounds for a show you would expect the performer to perform their breakout and arguably biggest hit!

I'd imagine there was a twist on the old nursery rhyme and lots of Queens went to visit London because of this.

I was dissappinted with the show tonight and twickenham is a terrible terrible place to have a concert. The stage setup was appalling. Shame as it could have been put on much better. The monster ball was way better.
