Yesterday, the outrageous Lady Gaga performed live in Madrid, in the city's Sports Palace. Thousands of fans brought together to be present at this special appointment, attired like their idol with psychedelic costumes and glasess or Pepsi tins on their wigs.
They were very excited with the concert they were about to attend to -and for which they paid from 90 to 130 euros per ticket-. What they didn't expect was that some of those ticket where null. When they figure out the swindle, people asked for explanations to the security staff, provoking some avalanches at the queue, so the Police brigade had to establish order.
It seems that some of the tickets sold by the non-official online stores where just copies of eight of the original tickets, printed in a very similar paper and with the same serial number. Apparently, the pages that sold this illegal tickets were viagogo, gesticket or seatwave, among others.

Even though yesterday 4000 people were estimated to be affected by this fraud, we know that about 400 or 500 people were really inconvenienced. Now they want to know where can they claim for compensation. CECU Madrid has provided an e-mail for all of them (info@cecumadrid.org), but it is not completely clear to whom can they ask for responsability. The webpages seem to wash their hands of it.
At least this incidents teach us something: we must check more than once what we buy, specially online, even if Lady Gaga's face appears on it.
In the end, I leave a video of Stefani Germanotta, Or, in other words, a very young Lady Gaga -not yet gaga maybe- very different from the one we know now. Hope you like it!
