Lady Gaga Fans Drag Brisbane Show Organizers After Ticketholders Were Forced to Watch from Outside Suncorp Stadium Due to Overcrowding

A Lady Gaga fan in Brisbane was left furious after paying $300 for a concert ticket, only to face massive entry delays and then discover they couldn’t even see the stage from their seat.

The disappointed concertgoer, posting under the name Rodrick Hefley on Facebook gossip page Tea Time, said they arrived before the advertised 5pm gate opening at Suncorp Stadium but were still stuck in painfully slow-moving queues, causing them to miss the beginning of the show.

Sharing a photo of their seat, the fan revealed a huge tower structure completely blocking the stage.

“After all that drama waiting in line, missing the start of the show even though we arrived before 5… finally get to my seat and this is the view – a gigantic tower blocking the whole stage,” they wrote, adding that their ticket made no mention of an obstructed view.

Social media users were quick to back them up. “Why would they seat people where they can’t see anything?” one commenter asked.

“$300 for that view? I’d be submitting all the complaints,” another added.

Several fans pointed out that such seats are usually sold as “restricted view,” and expressed shock that they were priced so high.

The incident comes amid widespread frustration at Gaga’s Brisbane stop, where thousands were left stranded outside due to technical issues delaying gate openings by nearly an hour. Videos from the night show long, barely-moving lines even after Gaga started her 7:40pm performance.

One fan said she queued for almost three hours and only reached the floor area after Gaga had already performed multiple songs.

“P*ssed is an understatement,” she wrote, claiming staff offered no apologies as chaotic lines merged without any clear direction.

Concertgoers are now demanding answers from the organizers following what many described as a “nightmare experience.”

Another Lady Gaga fan has been left fuming after she was forced to watch the Brisbane show outside of Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday despite buying tickets.

A video posted to TikTok by Emily Davies shows hordes of Aussie ticket holders unable to enter the venue due to overcrowding.

Instead, Gaga fans were stuck outside the stadium as she performed her 2011 hit Judas.

Attendees could be seen dancing to the song and trying to video the star from afar while queuing up to enter the mosh pit.

'Lady Gaga Brisbane was an absolute joke,' Emily ranted in the caption of the clip.

She went on to reveal that she had paid $200 for mosh pit tickets, only to wait an hour in the line and miss the first half of the show.

'Angry is an understatement? Who do I talk to?!' she added.

It comes as Lady Gaga's Brisbane concert sparked an avalanche of fury after thousands of fans were left stranded outside the venue.

The Chromatica star was due to hit the stage at 7pm, but technical issues during sound check delayed gate openings by nearly an hour.

Crowds were still snaking along Caxton St and choking the stadium's forecourts well after Gaga began her 7.40pm set.

Concertgoers are demanding answers, as videos of the chaos have flooded TikTok and Facebook groups, showing tightly packed lines barely moving while Gaga's opening numbers echoed in the distance.

One furious fan unleashed a blistering rant on The Virtual Hangout Facebook page, claiming she queued outside for three hours only to reach the floor section after Gaga had already performed three or four songs.

'P*ssed is an understatement,' she wrote.

'No apologies from any of the staff... Some people were waiting in lines that didn't even exist, so they just started merging three lines of people together and some of those people had only just got to the concert grounds.'

Despite the backlash, a Suncorp Stadium spokesperson insisted the majority of fans made it inside before the show began.

'Over 95 per cent of patrons were inside by the time the show started at 7.40pm, with no queueing at the gates by 7.52pm,' they said.

'Technical issues identified during the artist's soundcheck resulted in gates opening at about 5.50pm instead of the scheduled 5pm. This delay resulted in a backlog of patrons queuing on the stadium's external plazas, exacerbating the already delayed entry.'

They added that the venue will conduct an extensive debrief with stakeholders.

But for many ticketholders, the damage is already done.

'We got Rain On Me as a surprise song, but the whole experience was ruined,' one wrote. 'Gaga was amazing, but the night was a disaster.'
