Why everyone is so upset and frustrated with Ticketmaster isn’t the price of the original tickets. While it is still expensive, they advertised that tickets would host $49-$399, but as you can see, that’s not the case.
The reason why these prices are SKY HIGH is because of the amount of people who were able to get into the fan presale and the fact that people who bought them are RESELLING tickets to make a profit. Ticketmaster is allowing this. This tells me that the reputation era boosts didn’t do anything for verified fans who participated if people were able to buy and resell tickets so fast. Everything in red are tickets behind resold:
So why we’re mad that prices are rising is because Ticketmaster allowed people who didn’t participate in boosts into the presale (and lied to those who did participate last era) and are continuing to allow them to buy and resell at a much higher price so they and scalpers make a bigger profit because fans so desperately want to see Taylor.
The ultimate catch is there are young fans who cannot afford to buy them but feel like they have to in order to see Taylor live. This is in no way me blaming Taylor/TN for what’s happening, but I do hope they decide to address this on behalf of fans who aren’t as financially stable to purchase $2,000+ tickets on the fly.
