The Lady Gaga tour rolls on adding 7 more concerts to her 2011 Monster Ball. Tickets for Lady Gaga will go on sale this week for the new concert dates.  The first portion of her US tour just ended on September 19th in Raleigh, NC.

Lady Gaga will be performing with Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band on Saturday October 2nd at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles before heading off to Europe from October 13th through December 17th. Gaga’s first concerts back in the US will start with the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on February 19 2011.

The new Lady Gaga tour dates will fill in empty spots in her current schedule in February with a date at the United Center in Chicago and a few more concerts in March and April. So far the last date scheduled for Lady Gaga is the April 23rd concert at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, but there may be more coming.

Ticket prices for Lady Gaga will be about the same as the concerts already on sale,  though Lady Gaga ticket prices can vary from venue to venue for both the face value and resell value of the tickets. Tickets for Lady Gaga are available from the primary ticket seller Ticketmaster, and good seats for Lady Gaga can be found from a ticket broker such as Preferred Seating tickets for more than face value.

The best seats for Lady Gaga are in the lower level reserved sections and they run about $175 each without the service charges. The next best thing or maybe better for the price are the general admission floor tickets which cost about $100 face value and much more on the resale market.

The new paperless tickets being sold for many of the popular concerts these days by Ticketmaster to stop the scalping of tickets has only made it much harder for parents to buy concert tickets for their own kids without attending the concert also. And most fans already know it doesn’t stop the reselling of tickets, there’s just a little more work involved.

Several recent articles have pointed out the problems some fans are having with the new paperless ticketing including one for a Lady Gaga concert by Oregonlive.com and another from the Torontosun.com for a Justin Bieber concert.

Ticket brokers have found a way around the paperless tickets so they only seem to create problems for the fans. So hopefully they will find a better solution than one that makes it a pain in the butt for fans to attend a concert.

Don’t miss Lady Gaga at the Staples Center this Wednesday and Thursday.  A limited number of tickets are still available but selling fast.  If you’re in Vegas on Friday you can catch Lady Gaga in concert at the MGM Grand.

The US portion of the Lady Gaga tour ends on September 19 before heading for Europe for for a few shows. You can catch the Lady Gaga concerts back in the states again starting February 19th at the Boardwalk Hall.
