$659 for a one night gig....
You can get a week pass to a festival for cheaper....
A fool and his money are easily parted
I think the "full" here is the one who can't fathom that others value things differently from themself.
Also, her money*. It's in the summary
The average ticket price for her tour 2023 was 1088$
Whoever pays prices like this is completely lost
Gross
I guarantee that there is entertainment that you spend money on that other people find foolish.
Not that much money though.
Sure, but chances are, relative to much of the world, you are actually pretty wealthy and most people would scoff at you spending even 1/10th of that on a single event. Remember, there is much of the world where the median yearly income is under 1k a year.

I got drawn in the lottery to be able to buy tickets for athletic events at the Olympics in Paris. For the events I liked to see, I had the choice of a 860 and 980 euro ticket… so with the two of us, that would be as much as a week long holiday to the Canaries. So we passed. We’re gonna watch the marathon, which is free :-)

The irony in that typo is palpable. Some real KenM energy
Oooo Taylor scissor me timbers! If I ever pay over 200 for a concert ticket boys...go ahead and let the hammer drop.
Bruh $200 for a show is still an absolute fleecing.
People are fucking insane for spending that sort of money for an opportunity to spend a couple of hours in extreme crowd just to barely see a billionaire singer and barely hear the songs. Its even worse since they are clearly getting fucked by corporations at the same time
I am thinking about spending that much in 4 hard drives 😂
I mean... I wouldn't do it. But I have spend insane money on other stuff I feel like it's a not that crazy amount. And to each it's own....
The fees they charge as part of it... that's another thing that I agree they are bastards.
Just a guess, but I bet what they do is post the same tickets for different prices and then give it to the highest price that sells, and "oops our bad, there was some kind of a glitch" + refund to all the lower price ones.
Then they can guarantee the lower but still profitable sale while still having a chance at the ridiculous price for someone who really really wants it and is willing to pay a crazy amount.
I bought tickets like 4 months in advance for an event. Like a week before the event, I get an email that they don't have my seats, and offered tickets a section over. I was actually relieved because prices had dropped, so I just said no thanks, I'll take a refund, and bought better, cheaper seats.
why is this girl suddenly everywhere? I hadn't heard of her for the last 5 years, and since this week I've seen her daily.
I don't get why they are downvoting you. It's absolutely true that last month she's been more on the news than at any other given time the last 5 years.
Basically the manager of Tyler Swift spread around a conspiracy theory so now MAGA is talking about her all the time which makes anti-maga talk about her all the time which increases her CD sales.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Taylor Swift?
yeah, I know she's a singer but I don't like pop and I hadn't read so much of her til now. I guess that people that like pop music might have heard of her more
When someone rich and powerful wants to go to a concert, there's always a way...
