I see the dislike of Beyoncé is as strong here as on Reddit. 🙄 I went to her concert and had an amazing time. She sounded wonderful and was so sweet even when it was pouring out.
Listening only tickets would have been nice for some. I saw people just vibing and some that people that were so high they just had their eyes closed the whole time lol
I like Beyoncé. But ticket prices and Ticketmaster shenanigans haven’t gotten out of hand. Full stop.
Of course you are right. I wanted to go to other shows this year but they were too much. I chose the one I wanted most and went for it.
It’s the tone of comments with regards to Beyoncé specifically that I expected on Reddit and I suppose now here. I don’t get that on other social sites or irl. I find it odd.
You know, in reality, there were plenty of cheap tickets still available facing the stage. Thinking about it now I can’t see a real reason to buy these you talked about…
I didn’t want to turn this into an anti Beyoncé thing. Her, Swift, and all the big pop stars, just like everyone, are flawed or whatever.
To me, this was about the sad state of concerts in general these days. Sure you can see tiny indie bands on the cheap but anyone who makes it even just medium sized bands, become sucked into this horrible monopoly and it’s practices.
Don’t worry I understand. I agree. I wanted to see Jill Scott but the tickets were nuts. The first time I saw Beyoncé the prices were not like this. Nowadays it’s too many gatdamn fees! I don’t regret my tickets but I’m also mad that Ticketmaster basically has a stranglehold in ticket sales.
Speaking of indie bands I’m definitely going to start seeing and supporting more of them. Small venues, intimate atmospheres, affordable prices.
Damn even Jill Scott is expensive??! I love her but she hasn’t been a Name-Name in a long time!!!
I know. It was like almost $300! I was already balling out of control buying Beyonce tickets. I couldn’t go any further even though Jill is my girl 😩
I paid $400 for my lovely parents to see Kem and Ledisi! Ticket prices are just crazy right now.
But truly, I want to see people while I can, while they are here. My mother said her biggest concert regret was not paying to see Prince when she could.
feel lucky - I got to see Prince in Ohio at an arena and yeah, he put on a show!
That’s awesome! You are lucky! I can only imagine.
If ever in my lifetime I get the chance to see Stevie Wonder, I will do it.
that would be amazing.
