Gaga kicked off the tour in Manchester last month, when tickets were priced between 27.50 and 35pounds.
However, tickets for the new gigs, organised by a different promoter, cost between 50 and 75pounds.
Some fans have expressed their concerns over ticket prices on the singer's website.
“Will we be getting a brand new show when the tour comes back to the UK in May? Or will the show be the same and fans will be expected to pay ￡75 for a show that only cost them ￡27 to see months earlier?,” the BBC quoted Ric Dickinson, as writing.
Another fan, using the name Barley 142007, said: “I was sure the price will go up but this is steep!!!!”
The shows at Sheffield and Nottingham were postponed earlier this week and will now form part of the Poker Face singer's second outing.
Taking about these dates, Dickinson said: “I will gladly pay the extra if we are promised something extra, however surely it would be a case for trading standards, especially as the rescheduled shows will get to see a show that everyone else will get to see after paying three times as much.”
However, Arthur Fogel, chairman of global touring at Live Nation, said the ticket prices were reasonable.
He said: “What was a small arena/theatre production is now a massive, first rate arena production.
“Ticket prices for the previous dates were set long before the current Monster Ball show was developed. Ticket prices are comparable and fair.”
According to the Live Nation website, the tour has been extended due to “overwhelming response”. Tickets will be available from March 12.
Gaga will now croon at Birmingham, London and Manchester in May and June. She will perform at the same venues she has visited on the current leg of her tour.
