Summary: “Beyoncé is selling “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see any of the set or dancing, but they only cost $157 compared to the ~$900 fans have been paying for regular US tickets.”
haha!
fuuuuuuuck that.
I’m reminded of the meme:
“Capitalism breeds innovation!
The innovation:”
So does this mean what used to be “the cheap seats” become mid-tier seats? This makes me think of this sub-economy airline tickets. Everything just gets worse and worse.
Stuff like that doesn’t really bother me. I would never pay that much to not see her, but she is probably one of the most popular musicians of this century. It is only natural that opportunities to hear her live have a high scarcity and prices rise to whatever people are willing to pay for it. If you don’t like paying you can chose to listen to artists that have lower ticket prices or if you want to listen to Beyonce you can do so for free at home.
Wait 900$ for a concert? That’s dumb enough for me.
they’ve gotten crazy if you are a big-big name like Swift, Beyonce, Drake, etc. Don’t know how people can drop that kind of scratch!
I don’t know if there is anything in live entertaining I would pay 900, or actually I’m pretty sure there is nothing.
Festivals where you’re there for multiple days and seeing dozens of artists are the only thing I’d drop money like that on. One artist? Not a chance.
Dang, would never pay that much money for a festival - would just workt there :D
Does she sing live or is it playback?
Just some speakers and a tape. In the best case, she’s sitting somewhere in a hotel and is singing.
If its stupid and it works it aint stupid.
I mean there will be people paying for it and it doesnt affect me in any way. People can spent the money they make the way they like as far as I am conferned.
Whether that is stupid so be it their own fault if they buy those tickets.
