FEWER than 1000 fans will get to see Lady Gaga's one-off Sydney show on July 13. The Poker Face singer is scheduled for a flying visit to promote her new album, Born This Way, and it will be her only performance this time around. She has booked the Sydney Town Hall for the gig and plans to rename it the Sydney Monster Hall for the occasion. Competitions for tickets will begin on FM radio stations this week. Those running Take 40 programs, Vodafone, the Today network and Channel [V] are all offering tickets. The star is also giving fans across the country a shot at tickets as long as they prove their dedication - from June 8, a Facebook page will be set up to accept pictures of the most extravagant ''little monsters'' out there. The concert, set to be hosted by 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O, will feature a stripped-down production of Lady Gaga's usual touring extravagance. But for a singer who entered the Grammy Awards presentation in a giant egg and emerged from coffin at a recent British performance, fans are likely to expect nothing short of spectacular. Lady Gaga has not ruled out returning for a full Australian tour and has been quoted saying she will be back early next year for what she has dubbed the Born This Way Ball. Her previous Australia tour was in March last year.
