If U Seek Amy Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I am glad it is not me just feeling like it is impossible to listen to Taylor Swift right now without feeling depressed/angry. I see numerous people on Twitter say at least for now they just can’t listen. This is so bad for her brand to affiliate herself with such negative emotions. I’m sure it will go away soon but idk. All that is gonna happen when the tour begins is bring up so much negativity for so many again and any tour she does from now on unless fixed is going to be seen as dread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can work out a rough idea what similar seats will be in £'s when she announces UK dates Hey, here’s a pretty good tweet that I think shows the tiers and their variety pretty well.

And there weren't many dates so not that many tickets would've been sold but at least people who were set to see her would definitely get tickets...

By the Water Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This whole thing is a mess and tm is useless but my god I didn't realize how pathetic a certain portion of her fanbase had become. Just spoiled, entitled, delusional and dumb. Comparing her to artists that struggle to sell out after months, feeling they deserve tickets more than so called 'tik tok fans', expecting her to take down ticketmaster. They need to grow up and realize Taylor is NOT their friend and she's not some underground indie artist, she's the biggest music star in the world. There's no way they expected her tickets to be cheap and easy to get at the same time. I need her to cancel the US leg and tour the rest of the world to teach some of these brats a few lessons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention how many people seem to be mad at Taylor for this when their faves / other faves all operate via Ticketmaster and enable dynamic pricing as well.

hector.adriel Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 When I entered the pre sale after five hours I remember seeing the blue dots turn gray like when Thanos snapped his fingers and people just started disappearing. I still can’t believe I was able to get six floor tickets for 416 USD each (after taxes and fees) for one of the Pittsburgh shows… It’s an experience I’m not interested in reliving, I’m just happy I was able to get tickets at a fair price.

Weld_E Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just now, InventedGays said: No fans are not owed ****, including you. You are a consumer choosing to buy & engage with a product. That’s it. They were given equal opportunity and it was ruined because of how Ticketmaster executed the presales while pretending surprised by the people that showed up w codes they sent out themselves. Also Unless you have something actually showing $800 for nosebleeds that’s nonsense Taylor has positioned herself as an artist that highly values her fans, which is how she managed to secure a fanbase as loyal as hers. So yes, Taylor “the product” DOES owe her success and career to us ‘consumers’ as a huge part of her appeal is how connected and close she claims to be to her fanbase. Again, the very LEAST, she should provide equal opportunities and fair prices to the same fanbase she resorts to whenever she has a new record to break or maintain. Disabling dynamic pricing is the bare minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re also still continuing to post about ridiculous prices with nothing to back up the claims you’re making, so just more nonsense trying to prove a point that’s not there. What a ridiculous and nonsensical comparison. Uber and Taylor the ‘brand’ have NOTHING in common. The core of Taylor ‘the brand’ is how connected and appreciative she is to her fans, and again, THAT is the reason she secured the loyal fanbase she has in the first place and the reason for her success. Most of her fans stick with her because of the way she constantly vocalizes her appreciation and gratitude for them. Taylor constantly talks about her passion for sharing her music with her fans and how that’s the most important thing to her, but time and time again, she puts money first. With all of that being said, people have called Uber and similar services for their crazy and unethical price hikes. This capitalistic and greedy mentality the USA has fostered is incredibly toxic and benefits no one but the rich.

Avoiding facts and relying on shady sources, its a talent Americans have. It comes naturally to them. They'll see on Friday what actual dynamic pricing is (since it looks like they didnt have the chance to see with all the other people selling shows the last 5 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
