The 'Judas' hitmaker will begin her tour in Seoul, South Korea and revealed to fans that whoever is the first in line will get to open the Monster Pit, an enclosed area around the stage for hardcore fans.
"This is a necklace I'll give to the first monster in line every night at the Ball. It's a symbol of the 'key' that opens the pit every night," posted tweeted Gaga with a picture on her twitter page.
"The real monster pit key will be signed by this fan and returned to me. There'll be 110 necklaces & signatures Mar 2013 (sic)," added Gaga.
The monster pit is a general admission area of the concert, which will be populated by the most hardcore fans who are first in line to see each show.
The tour will include 100 shows in more than 25 countries and Gaga admitted her nerves for the opening night.
"Nervous for tonight. Hope I make little monsters happy and proud. This is a very special moment for Haus of Gaga. We thank you so much. Enjoy our music, fashion installations & pop performance art tonight," said Gaga.
The Born This Way Ball will be staged on a set decorated as a Gothic castle, featuring viewing towers and intricate carvings. PTI CORR BB
