    the thing that offends me most is the price. i remember thinking £80 was a lot for a concert ticket in about 2010

    So Beyonce wants the poors out of sight and out of mind while those who can afford her $900+ tickets can see her?

    I never liked Beyonce, but now she can legitimately go fuck herself at this point.

      I mean it’s still live music? It’s still a party? I am not a Beyonce fan and I would never pay that much money for one artist. But it’s not like you see the artists anyway if you are at the back. So it’s only over the big screens

        That’s what live concert albums are for. Pretty much the whole reason to go to a concert is to see the artist(s) perform, not just listen to them - you can can listen to them on a CD or Spotify/YouTube any random day of the week.

        It’s gross they’re charging $900 to see Beyonce, but it’s even more disgusting to charge ~$150 to not see her and only listen from the backstage like some shmuck.

    Fuck Beyoncé. 900 bucks for a concert? To hear the shit she or her team produce? Fuck her.

    I haven’t been to a concert in years. Prices are just too much, and then there’s this bullshit

      Pop and other giant artists are the ones with insane prices. Small bands are pretty reasonable still. I go see well known metal artists’ concerts in LA for $20-55, usually around $30. More than it used to be sure, but it’s a bit less than $900 lol

    Any blind people here with opinions on the matter? Assuming it’s an artist you’d like to hear, would you buy a cheaper ticket in back, or still want to be out front?
