  <body>&lt;p&gt;You know how the Kanye West/Lady GaGa Fame Kills Tour &lt;a href="../2009-9-17-kanye-west-lady-gaga-set-complete-tour-dates" target="_blank"&gt;was on, then it may have been off&lt;/a&gt;? Well, now it's definitely on, and there's a new element to the onsale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the general onsales for tickets go up Sept. 25 and 26; however, a presale for fans will kick off on Sept. 22 -- with a catch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anybody wishing to nab the best seats in the pre-sale, including VIP packages, will be charged a $45 "membership" fee to the tour. This fee is good for one purchase this year only, so if you wanna check out 'Ye and GaGa twice, you have to pony that up twice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, but, hey, you get a t-shirt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anybody who has bought tickets through Ticketmaster knows how painful seemingly arbitrary fees feel. At least Live Nation is being upfront: if you're a superfan, you have to pay to be one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe gives you a little preview of the Ticketmaster/Live Nation merger. Get excited!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Complete onsale info can be had at &lt;a href="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Kanye&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.ladygaga.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Lady GaGa's&lt;/a&gt; websites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="../../blogs/2008-12-6-the-beat-goes-on/posts/breaking-lady-gaga-to-reissue-the-fame-with-new-tracks" target="_blank"&gt;As previously reported&lt;/a&gt;, Lady GaGa is reissuing her "The Fame" album.&lt;/p&gt;
