"If prices look anything like this for Toronto, I will not be in attendance. The culture of paying half a months' rent on a single concert ticket needs to end. In this economy??!" another commented.

Lady Gaga is the latest artist to be slammed for the high prices of tour tickets, coming after the Jonas Brothers were criticized for high prices to their 20th anniversary tour.
In response to what many consider to be an unfair secondary ticket market, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 31 that aims preventing bots from mass purchasing tickets and aims at address all anti-competitive behaviors by sectors of the entertainment industry.
The ticketing system has been the subject of controversy in the United States with Taylor Swift's eras tour causing a meltdown of Ticketmaster due to the high demand of "bots" leaving fans without tickets of their own.
