More than 1.6 million Lady Gaga fans flocked online to grab presale tickets for the Grammy Award-winning pop star’s concerts in Singapore in May, the only Asian stop for her Mayhem Tour.
Pre-sales for the four concerts in Singapore’s National Stadium from May 18 to 24 opened on Tuesday morning for Mastercard cardholders with queue numbers soon going well above 1.6 million.
There are three more rounds for presales, including one for members of Singapore Airlines’ frequent flier programme, before the tickets are available to the general public.
The rush follows Taylor Swift’s wildly successful Eras Tour dates last year in the city state, which prompted economists then to raise their first quarter growth forecasts. Retail sales rose 2.1 per cent when Swift visited Singapore in March 2024 and Lady Gaga’s concerts are expected to likewise boost tourist spending.
