Lady Gaga Tacoma Dome Show Tix on Sale Friday

Tweet

Since releasing her ultra-ridic short film for “Telephone” and announcing the next bejeweled leg of her North American Monster Ball tour, Lady Gaga has been sued by (and countersued) her former producer/boyfriend. Her erstwhile bassist is also accusing her of not paying him royalties. The crazies at FOX News claim that she has outed herself as gay. And that’s not even getting into the next-level crazies, who offer further evidence for LaGa being a puppet of the Illuminati. Yowza.

But more importantly, Lady Gaga has added a bunch of dates to her tour. All three nights at Madison Square Garden are sold out, and she’s added additional shows in Vancouver, Toronto, Boston, and San Jose.  Closer to home, tickets to the previously announced Tacoma Dome show, set for August 21st, will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.

Full press release after the jump.

Seattle, WA – Live Nation welcomes The Monster Ball Tour Starring LADY GAGA to Tacoma Dome on Saturday, August 21, 2010.

Live Nation, the international tour promoter for Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball tour presented by Virgin Mobile, has confirmed due to exuberant fan demand, an additional 7 Monster Ball concert dates have been added to the previously announced North American itinerary. On Friday, sales were so brisk that a 3^rd and final show was added in New York. Quick to follow were sell outs in Toronto, Vancouver and San Jose who have also now confirmed 2^nd shows in each city. In Los Angeles, to ensure Lady Gaga fans had the best possible access to tickets a 2^nd performance was announced prior to Saturday’s on sale and both Staples Center concerts are also now completely sold out.  This morning the July 1^st performance in Boston also sold out with a 2^nd performance now confirmed for that city as well.

With Lady Gaga’s flair for the theatrical, combined with her innovative and creative spirit, The Monster Ball Tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced before.

“It’s still called Monster Ball, but it’s more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost.”

Lady Gaga is touring in support of The Fame Monster, which was released on November 18^th, 2009, by Streamline/Konlive/Cherrytree/Interscope. The album is the follow-up to 2008’s Grammy Award-winning album The Fame, which spawned the No. 1 singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.” Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 10 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s five singles, “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Lovegame,” “Paparazzi,” and “Bad Romance,” have sold more than 30 million singles worldwide. The video for “Bad Romance” has racked up more than 125 million online views.  Lady Gaga recently premiered the video for her new single “Telephone,” featuring Beyoncé, on the E! television network and entertainment website VEVO.
