Typical dcum. Makes you feel good to get what others can’t. |
Amazon Unlimited is $10/mo. What do you mean by many? Are we talking poverty level? That is a much bigger issue than Taylor. |
It’s all about bragging rights |
Yes, and all those things can be very elitist, too. I feel like a lot of you don't know what elitism is. Look it up! OP is correct. You can either embrace it or not, but it's not suddenly NOT elitist just because you are engaging in it and don't like to think of yourself that way. |
Do you have any idea how someone can get tickets to these events? Because they are not similar. |
This. |
I don’t understand why people are acting so entitled over this. We lucked out and got a code the first time around and then lucked out again and purchased tickets. After paying normal concert prices, we drove there and drove home. I paid for an overpriced pizza of pizza at the stadium. I don’t know anyone who paid thousands for resale.
Weren’t you ever a kid and disappointed because you didn’t get tickets to the sold out concert? This isn’t any different except people think it’s their right to go. -Gen X mom |
They actually are pretty similar. You can be really lucky and get them for a low face value or you can pay the actual worth on the secondary market |
The difference between then and now is that now scalping is legitimized and anyone with enough money can go |
Come on, enough money could buy you anything back then too. Don’t be so naive. We all knew people who bought tickets from scalpers. |
Back then you had to know how to do it, now anyone with parents willing to pay can bid what it takes. |
Disagree I'm way older than Swift's target audience, but she's been growing on me. |
I didn’t go see Taylor Swift and would never spend so much on a concert, but I’m definitely elitist, in the sense that Donald Trump uses the word. Was just curious if the OP was using it in the same coded way. I guess not. |
How old are you? Yes, if your parents were savvy you could meet up ahead of time but with enough cash you could walk up and buy tickets from the scalpers for any concert, game or event outside of the gate. They were always there. It’s the same thing. Enough cash gets what you want. |
Yes, they were there, but my parents weren’t. Parents weren’t involved. I wanted tickets, I camped or got them at the event. It didn’t involve savvy parents, but savvy KIDS. And that is what is jacking up the price as well. Parents have more money than kids, so the tickets are now more as well. |
