A few images should be included. These could include the picture Gaga tweeted of the stage, fans lining up for tickets (Jakarta etc) and Born this Way Ball advertisements/ events.

More Tokyo dates

The show in Tokyo on the 10th of May sold out in 20 minutes so Gaga has added 2 more on the 12th and 13th of May at the same Arena. http://www.timeout.jp/en/tokyo/event/4091/Lady-Gaga

This has also been confirmed on the official website: http://www.ladygagajapan2012.com/

Considering shes added so many dates, its unlikely the total number will be 110. Consider changing the wording to 'at least 110 dates'

Moving page

Since the word "tour" isn't part of the name, should the article be moved to The Born This Way Ball? Devin Davis (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy on the redirect page. Use WP:RM instead. S.G.^(GH) _ping! 22:17, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Just because the poster doesn't say tour doesn't mean it's not part of the name. Interscope seems to imply it is part of the name. There announcment of the tour is headlined with "Official Born This Way Ball Tour Announcement!" --Shadow (talk) 00:27, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I guess Born This Way Ball is part of the same name too. So the article doesn't need to be moved, it can stay were it is. Thanks for helping me understand ShadowRanger. Devin Davis (talk) 00:55, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

I do believe the word "The" can be moved. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

"The" is a part of the title. "Tour" is not. We do not simply assume "Tour" is a part of its name. Yes, it is headlined that way: "Official Born This Way Ball Tour Announcement!" — Status {^talk_contribs 17:06, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hong Kong, China

Lets clear up confusion, Hong Kong is part of China. Don't believe me? Go to China#Urbanization. It states in the table that Hong Kong has the third largest urban population in China. PLEASE educate yourself and stop editing the Tour dates stating Hong Kong is part of Hong Kong SAR, a province of China, or some other place. Thank you. Devin Davis (talk) 05:26, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

We use what the source of the dates says. This is a common pratice on Wikipedia. It says Hong Kong, not China. Therefore we use just Hong Kong. Hence Tokyo, not Saitama. --Shadow (talk) 16:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

The Born This Way Ball → Born This Way Ball – Per WP:THE and WP:TITLEFORMAT. The usage of "the" is common and does not refer to a proper noun. Article can be easily recognized without it.

Naming Cities

As for the Asian leg, some venues are listed to be in suburbs of bigger cities. (Like Pasay in Manila, Saitama in Tokyo, Kallang in Singapore, etc, etc...) what is completely true.

But I've noticed that for the European leg, the cities are used from the official lady gaga site. But, the Stade de France is not in Paris, but in Saint-Denis. The Sportpaleis is not in Antwerp, but in Merksem, and so on...

Can someone please tell my why we use two different rules on this?

--Kennethantwerp (talk) 09:54, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

It's a problem that has been present on many concert tour pages. I've always adopted the "rule" that you go by what the source says. Her tour website says she is performing in Paris, hence Paris is there. --Shadow (talk) 20:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, that's a good rule, but what about the asian leg? Her tourpage also says Tokyo instead of Saitama, Manila instead of Pasay, Singapore instead of Kallang and so on... --81.82.185.171 (talk) 10:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

You are completely right.  Done — Statυs (talk) 20:09, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't think we should rely on Lady Gaga's website for local geography. –HTD 05:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

It's a practice that is done by numerous artist, tour productions, etc worldwide every year. It's not just Lady Gaga. --Shadow (talk) 06:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

That was not the point. This article should not be spreading factual inaccuracies. –HTD 07:45, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't wanna go all the way to WP:ARBCOM just to show how stupid this is. Let's get these cities right. Mall of Asia Arena is in Pasay, Stade de France is in Saint-Denis -- (even 1998 FIFA World Cup agrees!) –HTD 07:48, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Just to show stupid this is, while I can understand Pasay/Manila and Saint-Denis/Paris, Saitama Super Arena is supposedly in Tokyo. Saitama isn't even in Tokyo Prefecture lol! Even the 2010 FIBA World Championship article disagrees. –HTD 07:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Expand your vocabulary beyond the word stupid. Again I say, this is practice that is done numerous times in many different situations. Going by the source is a very common practice on Wikipedia. The Palace of Auburn Hills is located in Auburn Hills and yet you will see it labeled Detroit on multiple pages. Sames goes with the BankAtlantic Center. I'm not exactly opposed to changing it to Saitama, but stop being rude and maybe others will discuss this. --Shadow (talk) 08:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

My apologies for hurting your feelings when I stated a fact.

The Palace isn't even the right counterexample, dunno on tour pages, but on sports pages it is usually listed as in Auburn Hills just like in the 2007 NBA Playoffs. Same for the Meadowlands Arena; instead of New York (lol identical to the Saitama example), it's listed as in "East Rutherford."

It seems you guys have to correct the practice in tour pages, instead of me saying a statement of fact. Clearly, this practice is wrong, gives out the wrong information, and has to be changed to avoid more embarrassment for you guys.

It appears that the jocks do get their geographies right, after all. –HTD 08:45, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

You didn't hurt my feelings at all, I don't upset at stuff like this, but being a condescending butt is not the way to get things done. You can't ask for something to be changed and then be rude about it. The Palace example does work. Auburn Hills is part of the Detroit Metropolitan area, just like Pasay is part of Metro Manila. Same concept, and that information is indeed correct. Yes, the practice may seem a little off, but it has never really caused a huge site wide issue. It's not giving out false information...it's associating the smaller lesser known city with the Metro area it is part of. It's not an embarrassment at all. How you even think that is beyond me. --Shadow (talk) 15:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Because Pasay is not Manila, nor is Auburn Hills not Detroit? It's like saying birds are dinosaurs. –HTD 16:28, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Not in the least...horrible comparison. --Shadow (talk) 16:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes it is. Pasay is as different to Manila as it is to Cairo and Sao Paulo. Do you wanna try any of the dispute resolution thingies? –HTD 16:40, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

No it's not. Pasay and Manila having a completely different relationship than Cairo and Sao Paulo. 100% different. I'm not the best at explaining things, never have been, so I've asked another user who also agrees with this naming pattern to try and explain things better than I can. Don't know if they will, but I hope they do. Honestly, there is no reason to go to dispute resolution. This was already agreed on by more than one user last month. Just because you want different doesn't mean it automatically has goes to dispute resolution. 3 to 1 in favor of the current arrangement. --Shadow (talk) 16:45, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Uh... WP:NOTAVOTE? Pasay is as different as Manila to Cairo and Sao Paolo. For one, they're in completely different local governments. The local government in Pasay won't have a say on what business should go up at Manila, Cairo or Sau Paolo.

Unless someone explains to me that Saint-Denis = Paris (which is pretty much impossible wherever you look at it), then the cities should reflect the actual cities where the arenas are placed, not some larger city nearby. The Stade de France doesn't even have a Paris address! This was is done in sports (check out List of Super Bowl champions, and the painstaking footnotes to explain that Miami Gardens /= Miami.) –HTD 16:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

This isn't about who governs what. Yes cities have different governments, but that doesn't change the fact that Pasay is part of Manila, not the city, but of the Metro Manila area. And there was no vote. This conversation was brought up by another user, and the people who participated int he earlier discussion agreed to what we have, that was a consensus, not a vote. --Shadow (talk) 17:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

There was consensus, now there isn't. Pasay isn't a part of Manila, yes it is a part of the Metro Manila region. You're confusing two things here. Manila and Pasay are cities within the Metro Manila region. Same thing for Saint-Denis and Paris. This is quite different from, say, Chelsea and London. A city is distinguished by local government. Chelsea doesn't have local government of its own. This is still different from the likes of Manhattan and New York City. –HTD 17:22, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Can you tell me what is the name of the second column in table? –HTD 17:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

consensus does not mean unanimous. so yes there is still a consensus, you ONE person just don't like it. i also agree with the current arrangement we have. stop bring sports and government into it. this deals with concerts, not that stuff. this is a site practice that has been used for years with no major problems. people who want to see dates are going to recognize detroit, paris, manila, etc, not auburn hills, saint-denis, and pasay. this helps everyone. and for god's sake,, shadow didn't even say pasay and the city where the same thing, he never said that, he said they are part of metro manila. just like saint denis is part of metro paris, and auburn hills is part of metro detroit. it's not false information and stop being an ass. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.88.224 (talk) 02:13, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Um... It's reaslly this simple. Stade de France is not in Paris but in Saint-Denis. You could argue it's in Paris, but the column says "City" and not "metropolitan area." What's so special about concerts? Because this has its always been done before? Slavery was practiced for millenia, it doesn't make it right. Neither should this. This practice doesn't make sense and is wrong from the get-go.\

Anyway, I will be the one that'll go to dispute resolution, as clearly, there's a cabal going on here. –HTD 04:10, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Wow, the standard practice of concert tours using the metropolitan area in there concert list is now the moral equivalent of slavery? You might want to take a step back, take a deep breath and reconsider for a moment. It's standard practice in this industry to use metropolitan areas rather than suburbs for concert listings. This is in fact the way this tour has listed them. You are overreacting and one editor does not a consensus unmake. And you might want to brush up on the definition of a cabal. Eastshire (talk) 15:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the cable accusation. There were (supposedly) two of you talking, I think. That does not a cabal make; that said, a 2-1 discussion is hardly consensus. The others who started the discussion a month ago doesn't count for the meantime unless they chimed in. The consensus isn't particularly convincing anyway.

You completely missed the point about my reply. I guess I should've conceded that this might be the "standard practice." My point was the standard practice is intrinsically wrong. Stade de France is not in the City of Paris; it is in Saint-Denis. Hence it's wrong to say that "Stade de France is in Paris"; the more acceptable would've been "Stade de France is in Paris", the only thing is the the column refers to "City", not "metropolitan area." I'd perhaps be willing to accept renaming such columns as "Metro(politan) area", and linking to the actual metro area instead of the main city of the metro area. That's a more acceptable solution. –HTD 13:13, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure there's a need for a sock puppet accusation either; everyone seems to be working in good faith here. I do think you're tilting at windmills here. While you may personally dislike this practice, it is indeed the standard practice of the concert industry. It's the consensus of that industry to list the nearest major city as indeed the primary source for these concert dates does Born This Way Ball concert dates. To list them otherwise is WP:Synth. Further more, to use the suburb names would imply the tour was not a significant as those following the standard practice (since it did not play in as significant cities) and using a more general column header when other tours don't gives a similar impression. Why buck standard practice? Eastshire (talk) 14:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Snooping at the The Monster Ball Tour, this "standard practice" isn't standard after all. Prudential Center and Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum are both in the New York metropolitan area; yet the cities stated aren't "New York"; both are in their respective locations: Newark and Uniondale, respectively. Take note of the word I used: "location," as Uniondale isn't even a city! It's within the city of New York!

Lady Gaga's website isn't a reliable source on where the venues really are... heck you even changed Saitama from Tokyo. It's not WP:SYNTH to say that the Saitama Super Arena is actually in Saitama and not in Tokyo. If that's the case, you just violated your "standard" practice. –HTD 14:42, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Just to point out how absurd this setup is, the distance from the New York City center to the Nassau Coliseum is 30 miles, and that's for the single city of New York, but "Uniondale" is used instead of New York. Compare that to the SM Mall of Asia Arena, which is a third of the distance from the Manila city center, and is in a separate city from Manila, but is labeled as "Manila" instead of "Pasay." –HTD 14:52, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

It's classic synthesis. Source A says the concert is in Tokyo with the venue being Saitama Super Arena. Source B says Saitama Super Arena is in Saitama. You then state that the concert is in Saitama even though neither source says it. It doesn't mean it's untrue, but it is synthesized. Eastshire (talk) 15:00, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Point taken, but what if I come up with a source stating that the concerts were/will be held at the cities of Saitama, Saint-Denis and Pasay? –HTD 15:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

(Note: It seems that you're the third person I talked to. It was ShadowRanger who retained "Saitama" from "Tokyo", while reverting Saint-Denis and Pasay back to Paris and Manila, respectively. –HTD 15:31, 9 May 2012 (UTC))

It's a good question. Do any such sources exist? I think I would want to read the sources before forming an opinion. Eastshire (talk) 16:29, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Easy:

1. From the Philippine Star: [1] -- "...the Born This Way Ball on May 21 and 22 at the new SM Mall of Asia Indoor Arena in Pasay City..."
2. From RTL: [2] -- "... the Stade de France in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) on September 22..." (c/o Google translate; the article doesn't even mention Paris!)

I don't think I'd have to look for a Japanese source for Saitama Super Arena as the name per se is self-explanatory; in fact, I'd be more interested in Hong Kong and Singapore. –HTD 16:53, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Continued from above I couldn't get the PS link to open and the other was in French, but fair enough. :) So then we have dueling reliable sources with (slightly) different information. My instinct is still to go with Gaga's concert tour list as the "official" list. Especially since I share your question as to what locations might also not be, strictly speaking, in the city limits. Would footnoting such as done on the List of Super Bowl champions alleviate your concerns? (In the table as Paris and footnoted as Saint-Denis, for example) Eastshire (talk) 17:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Seriously, I'd trust local media on where stadiums really are as opposed to Lady Gaga's website. If I were a Chinese fan and wanted to see Gaga in Saitama, I'd be practically leading the taxi driving to nowhere if I keep telling him to take me to Tokyo. Basically, I guess the Gaga website just went with whatever the capital city is. Heck if Gaga had a concert in Osaka it'll still be labeled as from Tokyo; this is important in Saitama whose change was retained even if all other similar changes were reverted. Basically, I pretty much proven than this is not an "industry standard" as shown from the 3 venues from the New York metro area. So that pretty means there are already exceptions to this rule, which pretty much means we're cherry-picking on what cities should we apply this rule, which is never a good idea. –HTD 22:24, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

It's not about Lady Gaga and her website, it's about a common practice and whether you like it or not, this actually is a common practice in the industry. Katy Perry's team has done, Britney Spears's team has, etc etc. It's been done by plenty of other artists, and it's been done on Wikipedia for years and it has never lead to any serious consequences arguments, etc that I am aware of. I'm not saying it's perfect, it has its flaws like any policy, and that is why in most cases I say go with the source, what I said a month ago. I've seen Uniondale labeled as both Uniondale and New York, if the source says New York, go with New York if it says Uniondale go with Uniondale. The reason I changed Saitama but not the other two is because I actually agree with you in THAT PARTICULAR ONE making no sense. Saitama is quite far away from Tokyo when compared to other places like Pasay, Saint-Denis, and almost every other example we've gone over. --Shadow (talk) 04:18, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Lemme put it this way. What if Gaga had a concert at Cowboys Stadium; it will almost certainly as stated as from Arlington and not from Dallas, but what if Gaga says it's in Dallas? The discussion should be twice as long than this one! Let's say Gaga gets her geography right and says it is in Arlington. Now let's say Katy Perry also has a concert there, and her website says it's in Dallas? Then the readers will be mightily confused since the Gaga tour article says the Cowboys Stadium is in Arlington, Katy's tour article says it's in Dallas, then the Cowboys Stadium article says it's in Arlington. What would the reader think about Wikipedia? Actually, your Uniondale example is more possible. Tour article "A" says it's in New York, Tour article "B" says it's in Queens, the Nassau Coliseum article says it's in Uniondale. That's three different articles stating that the Nassau Coliseum are in three different places. (although all three are right!) In the Cowboys Stadium example, only the articles stating that it is in Arlington is correct. You could see how this would end up confusing the reader.

It's a matter of which source is more correct. The French and Philippine sources (actually, local sources in general) trumps whatever "industry practice" there is. Seeing that you won't accept those superior sources, are there third party sources that lists the cities? Again, they'd probably be "right" on American venues but screwy on non-American ones but it's a start. That's certainly better than using a faulty first-party source. –HTD 13:04, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Just to make this more confusing to the reader, in the "Philippines" section, it talks about the Pasay city government but not the Manila city government. Forget about the Metro Manila government, there isn't one. It doesn't even follow the official website anymore since the Japanese city refers to Saitama. This has to be changed. –HTD 13:05, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

About the setlist:

As you know, a lot of things about the setlist weren't confirmed, but there was a medley: Fashion of His Love/The Queen. They are not separate tracks. Gaga performs FOHL less than 2 minutes and then she stands on a platform in the castle and she's performing The Queen. Also edit The Edge of Glory. The '+' seems like Gaga performed the song twice which is not correct. It should be like that 'The Edge of Glory (begins with an acoustic version and continues with a studio version)'. Otherwise the setlist is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe71941 (talk • contribs) 14:10, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Concept section

A 'concept' subsection should be added to the 'development' one. After a couple more shows, A major 'synopsis' section should be added, giving a song by song description. I've written up a rough draft of what could go in it: The Born This Way Ball is loosely modelled around a storyline, taking influence from several sources, including George Orwell’s 1984; Guillermo Del Toro’s film, Pan’s Labyrinth and the concepts of futurism, rebellion and rebirth. The show is set in a dystopian, alternate world, taking inspiration from both medieval times and the future. This world is overlooked by a dictator-like figure, known as ‘The Bitch’. In the show, Lady Gaga is a fugitive on the run, aiming to build a new race and set the people free, ultimately killing the current ruler. This task is called ‘Operation Kill The Bitch’.

European ticket sales

The ticket sales subsection needs to be updated to include info on the rest of the European sales- eg all the sellouts, times etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 03:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

The Queen

The Queen was not performed. There is video evidence of every song on there being performed except The Queen. Even @Gagafrontrow confirmed on twitter that when they attended the show The Queen was never performed, making the setlist go from 24 to 23--Arturo52311 (talk) 06:19, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Page Name

I have asked the admins to lock the ability to move this page because of your guys move warring. A consensus needs to be formed. This was already "discussed" once, but obviously it didn't work out well. In fact, it was barely a real discussion. This is a fresh new slate (per the admins) and the page name needs to be decided once and for all. My vote goes to the current title "The Born This Wall Ball". This is the name displayed on the official promo poster AND, it follows the naming scheme Gaga is using for her tours.

---

The Born This Way Ball → Born This Way Ball – Second request for page move. Page was moved 17 April 2012 but now page is locked due to edit warring. Per Wikipedia policy stated here and here, definite and indefinite articles should not be used in article titles unless they change the meaning of the title or is a proper name. "The Born This Way Ball" follows none of these standards. Unlike The Fame Ball Tour or The Monster Ball Tour, these articles are in reference to the associated albums, using "the" as the proper name. Here, the tour title reflect the album title, which does not use the article "the". This tour can be easily identified and acknowledged without the word "the". This seems to be a debate over what Lady Gaga's fan prefer versus policy. Itsbydesign (talk) 03:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

• Comment this article has been renamed in violation of an existing consensus discussion without establishing a new one, so should revert to the outcome of the consensus discussion as a SPEEDY RENAME and move locked permanently, since there's been several since the last RM discussion. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 04:01, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
• Strong oppose, the "proper name" is 'The Born This Way Ball' per the tour poster. period Bluesatellite (talk) 06:46, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose: The tour is clearly named The Born This Way Ball in the promotional material. Eastshire (talk) 18:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
• Support, per nom. Also note WP:OFFICIALNAMES: an official name is not necessarily the appropriate name for the WP article. ENeville (talk) 19:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

WP:OFFICIALNAMES is an essay, not policy. Beyond that it points out that the policy is that the title should be "recognizable to readers, unambiguous, and consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources." as per WP:Article titles which is policy. The current title meets these criteria. To name the article after the album rather than the tour would not be consistent with the sources. Eastshire (talk) 12:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Well considering the huge amount of press it has been receiving chances are, people are going to want to come to the article to know about what's going on as well about other information of course and it's a major part of outcome of the tour, so no I don't believe it's too early personally. teman13 (talk) 23:59, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

relocated from User talk:JHunterJ

Could you explain your reasoning behind moving Born This Way Ball? There didn't seem to me that there was consensus for the move. Thanks! Eastshire (talk) 12:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

The policies and guidelines cited in favor of the move (WP:THE, WP:TITLEFORMAT, WP:OFFICIALNAMES) apply. The references used in the article do not capitalize "The" in running text. The previous move was also closed for Born This Way Ball and that move was incorrectly undone (twice!) without new discussion. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:14, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Controversy

The controversy section should be shortened/ edited as the protesters have not been protesting the Born This Way Ball, they have been protesting against Gaga, saying SHE is pornographic etc. Also, having a really long section on this suggests that the show is really controversial and lacks critical acclaim. If however, you wish to retain the length of this section, you must emphasize that the show is receiving very positive reviews. Also, add a few more pictures of some of the more interesting performances in the show, to lighten things up. The two current photos are two of the most boring outfits she uses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 09:47, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

They are protesting shows in this tour not calling for her music or her image to be banned; therefor it makes sense for it to be included here. Lady Gaga's stances on topics, such as gay rights, is challenging to some people and sometimes these people become angry at being challenged. Whether to face this anger or censor oneself and ones positions is a decision that an artist must make. Documenting the full reaction to her tour shows the level of opposition that she must face. Her willingness to continue despite opposition is not only an act of artistic bravery but personal bravery as well. It also documents the challenge that her causes face around the world and shows what one must be willing to endure if you are committed to them. Removing information about the level of resistance she encounters in the name of making the article seem more positive does no service to either the article or to her, and to those who might be inspired by her example. As great as Elvis or Madonna may be when did they face such opposition? What other artists has had a group with possible links to terrorism threaten to send out 30,000 people to the airport to prevent you from setting foot in their nation because they were afraid of your art? By all means, all the positive reviews she is getting should be added (being able to pull off great shows despite the controversy shows a dedication to her artistry and the message of her art), but playing down the controversy is a mistake. I think you can well argue that this controversy and how she is handling it is one of the most notable things that has ever happened to her. As it is happening during and because of this tour, it makes sense that it be fully documented here.

Review

Here's a review written by the ABS CBN news in the Philippines: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/05/23/12/review-lady-gagas-born-way-ball

Although the writer is trying to be as negative as possible, it really is a positive review. Their point in the first part is completely contradicted throughout and does not really make sense. They dont really seem to get the point of the Ball.

However, the following segment should be incorporated into the Critical Acclaim section:

"While her rehearsed theatrics are impressive, it is where she chokes up at the verge of crying, screams coarsely out of fervor, and sings almost to a whisper in silent passion that she becomes recognizably human once more." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 11:57, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Jakarta is Cancelled

Reception

Change 'received mixed reviews' to 'received generally positive reviews'. The review at the end is actually quite positive if you read the whole thing. You have included only the negatives. At the end of the day, its only one review out of say 10 anyway — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 07:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Reception should stay at mostly positive reviews. The abc review was mixed and mostly other have been positive. In order to be fair and balanced lets give it a "mostly positive" label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefaithmonster1 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Why would it be "generally positive" when there hasn't been a negative review? The ABC review was very positive throughout the entire thing, it just criticized her speeches. Not everything has to be 100/100 to be "critically acclaimed", but only a minor part of the show has been criticized by a single critic. At least change it to "general acclaim".

Yes, but it is better to stay with what was said below. We must be transparent and honest here if there was a mixed review so be it, but we have to include it the wording. --Thefaithmonster1 (talk) 23:49, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Critical Acclaim

Can we stop changing the critical section to "generally positive?" There hasn't been a single bad review. The biggest newspaper in Australia called it a benchmark tour and now MTV has said it's set a new standard for popstars. It can not be "generally" positive if ALL of the reviews have been positive. Mariskahls (talk) 20:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Negative review

The 'negative' review in the critical reception, should be removed or its inclusion edited, as it is not very well written. One of his major negative points is that the show is not very raw, with a lack of 'humanity', however firstly, when is a pop show ever supposed to be raw? and secondly, by the looks of things, the concert is very down to earth, with Gaga constantly speaking directly to the audience and walking around the monster pit, picking out fans etc. The author doesn't really know what theyre talking about. Therefore, these points should not be included, as they do not represent the general views of the public regarding the tour. There are some other points in the article that could be used in the Born This Way Ball wikipedia page that would be better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.59.143 (talk) 07:32, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

If a review was published on any regular vehicle of any communication means, it is eligible to be included on the article and must be counted. Neglecting specific reviews for reasons of disagreement or any other judgements of them is an act of reviewing, not encyclopedia writing. Articles must expose the subject and all the existing views on it, not making any subjective interpretations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.7.103.98 (talk) 03:34, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

"[...]having witnessed what was Thailand’s biggest and, many will argue, best concert ever."

Also, how exactly are the reviews "generally mixed"? Only one mixed/negative review should not affect the overall reception when there have been five (with two more having been posted here) positive ones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fotis01 (talk • contribs) 11:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

This is a fair point: From going from 'acclaim' to 'mixed' due to one review that if you read, isn't even negative (the only negative responce is her inhumanity until the end) doesn't make sense. That section requires a lot more attention, as it's currently positive critical reception, not mixed.--Talenthiel (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

'Princess Die' replaced 'Hair' at Melbourne concert June 28 2012

Hi everyone, I just returned home after seeing Lady Gaga's second concert in Melbourne, Australia (June 28 2012). She didn't perform Hair, but performed Princess Die instead. I'm wondering if she'll replace Hair with Princess Die in all Melbourne concerts?? This is the song she world-premiered the night before. I hope that helps.

Is it necessary to have 4 set-lists sections for such minor changes???

I cannot believe there are now FOUR different set-list when the only difference between them is that BJ+AF was, supposedly, sang in a different part of the concert the 1st date and that "Hair" was replaced for "Princess Die" in 2 shows. Is not that the show has different set-list in each leg and there are plenty of changes to have this divided into sections instead of just ONE with additional notes at the end, just like it was a few weeks ago. Could it be possible to change this back????

PR and Mexico are part of North America, but they're considered Latin American too and Lady Gaga included them as part of the Latin American tours. Also, Costa Rica is not part of North America, Costa Rica is Central American.

Mexico City concert

In the text "Sales for the October 26th event in Mexico City were slow and footage from the concert show a reduced crowd[1]. Nonetheless, Germanotta claimed oh her Twitter that there was around 40,000 attendees[73]", it false. The video linked as a reference to the "reduced crowd" was recorded 15 minutes later of the official end of the concert; she went out because fans requested it, most of the people were already gone of the arena, the staff were already taking down the castle, so that's why it is shown empty. I went to the concert in Mexico City. Better use the official numbers given by Ocesa or Ticketmaster. Foro Sol has a total capacity of 55,000 people, if she reunited 40,000, it means the assistance was of 70% — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.141.65.191 (talk) 01:36, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

The uploader of the video himself claims that the amount of people who left the concert prior to Gaga's stage return was "minimal". Also, a fully packed stadium is not evacuated in 15 minutes, so that the linked video is a strong evidence that the attendance was, indeed, reduced.187.7.103.98 (talk) 03:15, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

just because the official capacity was 55k doesnt mean she released 55k tickets. She can release 1k tickets and sell all of them and it would be considered a sell-out show.

Also under the setlist section please make the note in parentheses next to "Hair" a lower size so it will fit in with the rest of the parentheses notes. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.140.79 (talk) 21:59, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Also includes the Puerto Rico dates.

The total is $124,879,535 now. Meaning it becomes the 40th highest-grossing tour, this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours ) should be updated too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sobercool (talk • contribs) 23:10, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
