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."

Same for the Aerosmith farewell tour. Except the listening only tickets are $100-300; and the rest of the stadium is $300-over $1500.

how in the world are tickets so expensive in the US? you can get tickets to big names when they tour here for like $200AU, the same acts that charge triple or more in the US. Is it a demand thing? blows my mind

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.

If it's greedy and it "works", it's still greedy and worthy of contempt.

It doesn't affect you yet. This is just testing the waters to see if it's a viable money making mechanism.

Man, imagine grabbing the cheapest tickets to the concert and not realizing...

I wouldn't ever pay 100 bucks to see beyonce. If you pay so much, it's your choice. You are the dumb person, not them.
