PoisonedIvy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Pretty sure this isn't really something -she- decided. Ever since I heard about that Jon Bellion thing* I truly believe most labels are scamming fans without the artist even being aware of it for a long time. * = they were discounting his concert tickets for $10 and he was having to pay the other $90 out of pocket per ticket to reach the $100 face value. So they were pocketing so much money by putting him into debt. He didn't understand why his tour gross was getting recouped so much until he found that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Hate to be that person but how dispicable can you be? Like when does enough money truly become enough for you. "Buy my album to potentially earn the opportunity to buy tickets." is just wild. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Saintlor Posted May 31 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 31 (edited) As someone who likes Taylor, swifties insulting people or calling someone stupid (like people have in this thread) just for having an opinion that doesn't side with her is the reason why the swifties have such an awful reputation amongst everybody else Its not a big deal if someone doesn't like something they Taylor has done I know a lot of fandoms behave this way, but Taylor's fans can be particularly rude and condescending Edited May 31 by Saintlor 10 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 A fun prize would be to actually get free tickets or a free meet & greet. Like who truly does stuff like this? This is just sad.

BussC,XOXO Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 29 minutes ago, RideOrDie said: I know it's fun to hate on her greediness but you don't need to buy anything to enter this. There's a "no purchase necessary" link at the bottom which means anyone can enter for free and get a chance to buy a ticket. Since she is giving away 150 spots, she can't give them away for free. So her actual fans who missed out on being able to buy tickets because of scalpers/bots will be able to purchase them. It's a good thing. i don't care, I was being a sarcastic swiftie. thanks tho!

Folklore89sm Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Eh the demand is there. Don't forget the chances of being able to buy a ticket to this tour was smaller than the chance of getting accepted to Harvard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintlor Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 (edited) Imagine being extremely offended on behalf of a woman who would make you pay to win a contest (when the price of giving away 150 tickets would amount to like 1/85,000th of the tour's gross) Edited May 31 by Saintlor 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazil Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 32 minutes ago, RideOrDie said: If it was only one city then maybe. But she is doing this in other places as well, I'm sure the one for Edinburgh was done before this. Also who is giving away hundreds of free tickets for free? It's crazy if you expect that from HER out of all people. But this is nice from her to actually give a chance to legit fans to get tickets all over the UK. Please stop trying to justify shennanigans, this has nothing to do with allowing fans to be on the concert, are you trying to imply that in a 60k attendance concert there are only going to be 150 swifities? In adittion, the reference to past purchases being allowed is hidden in the end and confusing to understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I'm with the OP on this one, this is disgraceful Quote Order my album* in the UK within this tracking week to enter a contest to purchase concert tickets at full price for 150 lucky winners. *No purchase necessary. Click here for info. The fact that you don't actually have to buy the album to enter (as mandated by UK law) makes this post, at best, a shameless attempt by Taylor's team to trick swifties who didn't read or understand the whole thing into buying another copy of TTPD. Why else would you mention ordering the album at all in connection with the contest, if you just wanted to hold a lottery for extra seats? And notice how the link to enter is disguised as a link "for info". Like they really went out of their way to avoid saying that you can enter with just the click of a button, hoping to disguise that fact from the swifties who are actually going to buy TTPD again off the back of this embarrassing scheme. And that's not even getting into the fact that they were unwilling to forego the cost of the concert tickets themselves in this shameless attempt to boost her album sales in the UK this week. Girl you need to fire whichever team members came up with this borderline scam, because it is really not a good look 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you would have to pay for tickets anyway if you wanted to go and with this giveaway you have the opportunity to get tickets in a way easier way than with the big queues. I'm all for critisizing artists but this is not a bad thing I think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
