| For BTS tickets you were not allowed to immediately transfer the tickets but could later on. Also soundcheck seats were not transferrable at all. |
I have to admit: I really don’t get her appeal. My teens aren’t fans, so I’ve been lucky enough to avoid the weird obsession people have with her. |
This makes no sense. First there's no evidence of variable pricing. Second, PP's point is Taylor doesn't make more money if people scalp tix. |
| So I accidentally bought one of the VIP packages and it comes with some merch. How do you actually get that stuff? At the show? Or can you get it earlier? |
Some people really enjoy her music and would love the opportunity to see her perform live. It's not that deep and it's not necessarily some 'weird obsession.' |
It's unfortunate people don't understand that the people selling tickets on 3rd party sites have no actual tickets. They're selling you hopes of getting tickets at the cap1 sale or from general public. |
The scalping will be through ticket master, and she'll get a cut of that. As far as dynamic pricing https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/taylor-swifts-ticket-strategy-brilliant-business-or-slowing-demand-630218/ |

| Fans are frantically opening Cap 1 cards. She really created a monster. This is like an MLM cult gone wrong. People will talk about how Herbalife/Taylor Swift stole their sanity on Dateline in a few years. This is like a virtual Fyre fest. |
Why would you buy a special light up stick when they give you a light up bracelet for free? |
Yeah it's marketing. |

Some artists have made sure that resale tickets were no good. Garth Brooks has done that. He also added more shows as things sold out. Getting tickets was still frustrating, but a much better chance at a valid ticket as long as you could be flexible on your dates.
I can't recall now how they determined invalid tickets, but I know people were turned away at the door. |
I don't think she's a monster. This system worked out great for the last 2 tours. If buying concert tickets is making anyone stressed out, they should see a mental health professional STAT. |
But they could have tickets because people that got tickets yesterday.... |
Stubhub has guarantees and they won't list a ticket that the seller doesn't have |
