[Music News] Beyoncé is selling $157 “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see the concert, any of the set, or dancing. (finance.yahoo.com)

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."

I mean, if you're blind it's probably a sweet deal if you want the experience of going to a concert of hers but have no need for a prime seat.

Or if you value the experience of going to a Beyonce concert without breaking the bank, or if you’re willing to trade off an amount of the experience for a 85% discount. There’s always a set of seats that are behind the stage, and there’s a lot of people who want to see a Beyoncé concert but can’t.

Without breaking the bank would be 20-60 Dollars

I feel this is being a bit disingenuous. Most artists do tiered seating. It's not like every seat available in the venue was $900 unless you get seats behind the stage.
