So you’re not going to trick your ho daughter or injured son out for John Legend tickets? 
 

OT: Rising expenses to put a tour on (accommodations, travel, food, etc) have driven prices up. If an artist does have affordable seats, either the merch is hella overpriced or there’s insane VIP packages. It’s so frustrating for us fans but the alternative for many acts is cancel the tour. Most won’t work their ass off for maybe a crumb of profit

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read

Why go to school when you can just look it up on google?

 

At this point though it’s been more worth it to go to festivals, at least most are multiple days and you can see several artists for that money. Earlier this year I went to Sol Blume in northern california and saw Jazmine Sullivan, Tinashe, Lauren Jauregui, Victoria Monet, Syd, Summer Walker, Jorja Smith, Lucky Daye, Smino, Majid & Jordan & more I was living

Gaga pit for TCB was $650 when JWT or enigma was only less than $200... crazy world we live in. Someone needs to stop them

[Alldeezy]

I heard blink 182 was 500 per ticket! U2 800 per ticket just for general

 

and people say why did I spend $180 on a music festival but like pls thats 10am - 10pm of music while your faves are doing a show for $500 for a 2 hour set 

 

 

 

so glad Allday was only $40! and got to hang out with him before hand too

girl it's inflation, everything is expensive now

Dynamic pricing needs to be banned and re-selling tickets for a profit should be illegal.

Please say this is a joke.

I guess they have to get back the money they lost because of the pandemic somehow. Cancelling tours has a cost.

[XAMJ]

I agree they are price gouging us. As long as people go, nothing will change.

[Why Try]

Everything is and has been going up. Attending concerts, sports games and even just seeing a movie has become somewhat of a luxury now.

dude my Taylor ticket was $101  but my Weyes Blood ticket was only $30, which i’m still shook by

 

i wanna get a Kimbra ticket, hopefully it’ll also be only about $30

[CHERLLOYD]

I totally agree. I think the issue is people don’t want to work these days. And expect everything for free. Get another job and pull yourself by the bootstrap.

Yes and yes! 

[Edit0rz]

Support smaller artist at smaller venues. I buy tickets directly from the venue and typically cost $20 to $40. Don't support artist that are greedy and don't go to arena or stadium shows, it's not worth the experience like something more intimate.

 

[RockStarShit101]

just stop going to them, 

or catch them on youtube

[Pop Life]

And it's only getting worse. 

Support small artists while you still can

[Machete]

Dynamic pricing is not $200 for a floor ticket  That term is being thrown around for anything these days.

If you need a second job just to afford a ticket then the artist is the problem
