Looking to pick up a Lady Gaga ticket today? Be advised it might be ‘dynamic’.

Lady Gaga tickets are set to go on sale this lunchtime.
However controversy has arisen after the use of dynamic pricing in the US.
But what are the odds you’ll even get to the stage you may balk at the pricing?

With tickets for Lady Gaga's The MAYHEM Ball UK tour going on sale later today (12 PM GMT), pricing controversies have already emerged in the United States.

The use of dynamic pricing for tickets to see the Paparazzi singer has led to widespread social media outrage over the increased costs.
