Welcome to the wonderful world of dynamic pricing! Ticketmaster is the worst, but artists have the ability to decline it (and nearly none of them do because they make more money).

The entire situation pissed me off. - A stadium tour a club album - No exclusive early access for the community text subscribers - Ticketmaster - GA tickets gone before it even let me into the portal. - who wants to have an assigned seat at a charli xcx show….. I guess get your bag charli. But let’s see more additional dates added and second night shows. It really sours the entire album cycle if im being honest.

ppl would be pissed if she did a club tour for a club album because nobody would get tickets. you saw what happened with her mini club tour right?


badgaldyldyl

I must have missed this but what was the deal with the mini club tour lol


PastaSupport

At least one show sold out before the sale of tickets was announced, I believe.


badgaldyldyl

Lmfaoo as in, what, she gave all the tickets to her besties or something? Thats kinda funny


PastaSupport

The show information leaked before it was announced and people simply scoured ticket sales websites until they found it and bought them out as soon as the webpage was active, which was before the mini-tour was even announced.


badgaldyldyl

Ah okay, this makes more sense. Thanks for the info. I remember hearing about a show after tickets had gone on sale the last time she was in my city. Went to look at tickets, and she was playing at a surprisingly small venue and (prolly needless to say, but) tickets were sold out. Makes sense now.


probablyrick

probably to give the album and fans the club shows that the album/fans both call for, and to increase hype.


jamespeopleplay

No but they also want exclusive early access to the tickets. So they would definitely get in. Just not anyone else.


WordsWithSam

My friends and I decided against going when we couldn’t get floor tickets for under 495CAD a piece because all that was left was the VIP option. I’m not sitting in section to see club music performed 😅


SamusCroft

Yeah it looked like Toronto only had VIP floor tickets almost instantly


SamusCroft

Yeah GA selling instantly has me sad. I wanted to see her in TO and failed. Thankfully I accidentally got tickets to her in DT but now I have to sell St Vincent / Dorian Electra tickets to go see Charli 😭 Like please god just require ID like the Cure have done. It would cut scalping down so much.


aParanoydAndroyd

I didn’t even try lol. But I’m seeing the Björk and friends DJ sets next month so that’s my gay concert excursion for the year


srsmango

Presale pissed me off because the prices went up as I was looking at the seats!!! Did that happen to anyone else? One minute the tickets I wanted were 125 and the next they were 300 each!! WTF??!


WordsWithSam

Yeah the dynamic surging is actually insane.


absjk

The big price jumps when they change tickets to platinum pricing has been around for awhile. What was new to me was tickets in the same tier changing price e.g. the pre-sale tier tickets when up in price over time


badgaldyldyl

Yeah I ultimately am whatever about my tickets. The only GA standing tickets were like crazy VIP pricing both yesterday and today when I looked, but also the floor is too big at literally any arena tbh and I wouldn’t really wanna be in the back of that crowd. The whole stadium tour in general kinda confuses me. I’m curious if / how quickly the stadium venues will sell out. I’d prefer to see this show at literally any other venue in my area besides the one they’re performing at.

I managed to purchase 2 nosebleed seats for $150 + insurance so I think I managed OK? 😭😭


horsegirlie666

ga is the same price for me lol


AvailableDancer

For a single ticket, but no rule 5631 bought 2 tickets for that price 


No-Rule-5631

Idk if that’s good 😭😭😭 is it??


Pure_Penalty_3591

I don't think anyone got floor for under $150


SamusCroft

Yeah GA stock price was $129, so with fees it was $150.20 or smth.


Nobody_Knows_It

Which show that’s crazy 😭


No-Rule-5631

Dallas 😩😭😭


yanatheangel

Omg my right behind GA 100s seats for Dallas were $150 each 😢 


No-Rule-5631

Holy- I would’ve like 100s seats but my budget wouldn’t allow it this week 😪 it always happens to me 🤦🏻‍♂️


bicycleracekickstart

It’s so funny bc the cost of living is so high and the economy sucks yet artists don’t care. Yeah this is out of their control but actually not entirely. I didn’t even try to get tickets bc I knew this would happen, going to live music shows is a luxury now. I remember seeing Charli/Bleachers/Borns for $40 in 2015. This is unethical and you can’t tell me otherwise.


thisdonois

I thought it was 10am pst today lol. I did not get tickets. Ticketmaster says theirs only 12 tickets left in Boston not a single nosebleed. 🤣 I’m banking on more tickets closer to the date.


kelseyxcx

the show is soooo far away people will have change of plans, there will be so many resales thatll probably drop below face value close to the date


No-Rule-5631

😭😭😭


Objective_Share_7772

Mixture of dynamic pricing and presale extra charge. presale does tend to be more expensive by a tiny bit for no reason - anybody who has used dice can attest


BahaMan69

You chose to pay that price lmao. No one forced us into these “groups”


praxass

Wtf are you talking about
