SMU Adjunct Lecturer Kevin Cheong attributes the weaker-than-expected demand for Lady Gaga concert tickets and hotels rooms in Singapore to a general slowdown in consumer spending due to geopolitical and economic uncertainties. He explained that factors like fan intensity and recent hits influence concert "fever,", but the current climate leads consumers to prioritise essential travel over luxury indulgences. He also noted that regional tourists are becoming more discerning, exploring domestic travel or other destinations like Thailand or Bali.
