Technical issues have meant fans faced major delays trying to get into Tuesday night’s Lady Gaga concert at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, with some missing the start of the show altogether.

Some fans took to social media to say they were left waiting for hours to get into the stadium, while others reported missing multiple songs.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Suncorp Stadium said the gates opened 50 minutes later than they should have due to “technical issues” identified during a sound check.

“This delay resulted in a back log of patrons queuing on the Stadium’s external plazas,” the statement said.

“This backlog exacerbated the already delayed entry resulting in patrons experiencing unusually long wait times.”

The concert was scheduled to begin at 7pm, but the star did not take the stage until about 7:40pm.

Suncorp Stadium said 95 per cent of patrons were in the venue by 7:52pm.

The MAYHEM Ball tour is Lady Gaga’s first tour of Australia since 2014’s ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour.

Speaking to ABC Radio Brisbane from outside the venue on Tuesday evening, some fans reported difficulties entering the venue.

One said they had waited for more than an hour before being told they were not in the queue to get in at all.

Another said the gates did not open until 6pm, despite having been told to arrive at about 5pm to get in early. 

“I think they lost control out of lines E and D,” another said. 

“Everything was snaking through and then they lost control of where the lines were going and then it’s turned into … it’s disorganised.”

The same fan said she was concerned about the lack of places to buy water while in the queue.

“You don’t want to be a Karen about it but I think there’s some things that obviously could have been organised better.”

Suncorp Stadium said it would perform an “extensive debrief” with stakeholders in the coming days.
