Lady Gaga Mayhem Tour 2025 Tickets

Just last week, Lady Gaga announced her highly anticipated tour dates, including several shows in Europe. While I’m not a die-hard Little Monster, I know her songs, I like them, and I’m sure the show will be worth seeing. So, I decided to try to get Lady Gaga Mayhem Tour tickets for Berlin show—but ended up with a ticket for London instead. Why? Because the ticketing system is deeply flawed, and I didn’t even stand a chance of getting a ticket for Berlin. So how did I eventually manage to buy tickets? Keep reading to find out the whole process—maybe it will help you with future ticket hunting.

Why I Chose Berlin for the Mayhem Tour

I initially decided on Berlin because, first of all, it’s easier to get there from Lithuania. The flight takes just a little over an hour, and the airport is well connected to the city center—just a 30-minute train ride away. The arena is also conveniently located, making it a logical choice. Plus, I’ve been to that venue a few times before and have no complaints about it.

Lady Gaga Mayhem Tour Ticket Presale in Berlin

There was a Telekom customer presale for Telekom Prio Tickets starting on Monday, March 31st. While it’s common for brands to offer exclusive presales, I assumed only a small portion of tickets would be allocated for this. After all, it wasn’t even an artist presale—just a niche brand promotion with no real connection to Lady Gaga’s fanbase.

Oh, how wrong I was.

The Mayhem Tour Ticket General Sale in Berlin

As a true concert enthusiast and self-proclaimed ticket-buying expert, I was fully prepared. I logged into my Ticketmaster DE and Eventim accounts early, ready to join the waiting rooms by 11:30 AM.

First inconvenience: The Ticketmaster waiting room didn’t open until 11:45 AM, meaning I had to constantly check and refresh. Eventim’s waiting room finally opened at 11:55 AM.

By 12 PM, I was in the queue for both platforms and both dates. I felt optimistic—I was 800th and 1400th in Ticketmaster’s queue (Eventim doesn’t show queue numbers). Doing the math: with a four-ticket limit per person, there should have been plenty of tickets left for a venue that fits around 17,000 people.

The queues moved quickly, and I even joked with my friend, “Maybe there are no tickets left.” I couldn’t have been more right.

At 12:06 PM, I got into Eventim’s ticket selection—only to find nothing available for either date. A few minutes later, I got into Ticketmaster—same story. So, the big question is: how many tickets were actually available for the general public? And as if that wasn’t bad enough, resale sites were already flooded with overpriced tickets.

The Problem with the Telekom Customer Presale

I did some research and read fan comments about the presale experience. Many fans mentioned that almost no tickets were left for Berlin.

How is that even possible? A presale for a specific group shouldn’t result in selling out almost an entire arena. This kind of system only encourages scalping: 'I’m a Telekom customer, I don’t even like Lady Gaga, but I have the opportunity to buy tickets and resell them for a profit—why not?'

Presales should be targeted at actual fans—those subscribed to an artist’s newsletter, those who have bought records, etc. This presale? Completely ridiculous.

How I Ended Up With The Mayhem Tour Tickets for London

Needless to say, I was extremely frustrated. After a few minutes of cursing at my screen, I decided to try my luck with the London dates.

The sale for London started at 1 PM German time, so I still had time to prepare. I joined the queue for a few dates, and none of them had more than 1,500 people ahead of me. By 1:15 PM, I made it into ticket selection for multiple dates. Initially, it showed that everything was sold out, but after refreshing, some seats appeared—only to disappear as soon as I clicked them. After a few minutes of this ridiculous game, I finally managed to buy three tickets in section 414, row B for the October 4th show.

Conclusion: The Ticketing System Needs to Change

This whole experience was a reminder of how deeply flawed the ticketing system is. Fans should be the priority. Yes, Ticketmaster has introduced phone number authentication, but does it really help? The process is still broken, and real fans are the ones who suffer.
