[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is crack.  Omg.  So much drama.  I can’t imagine getting that hysterical over a concert (or not being able to go).

Perspective.

[b]Such entitlement.[/b]  I’m silently giggling to what my parents would have said as a girl if I was throwing a tantrum and distraught over them not shelling out hundreds of dollars for a concert or whining endlessly.

People today.  Sigh[/quote]

It's all about the other girls at school.  Look at me dressed up as a Swiftie, look at me and my excess.

In our wealthy neighborhood, it's about the moms too.  So freaky.  They are on the party bus with the daughters.  To a lesser extent with Harry Styles too, but this TS crap is crazy.

Don't flame, but it's stuff like this that makes me so relieved I have all boys.[/quote]

This begs the question, why is it teen girls dying to get these overpriced tickets? My observation at university with guys working at student radio and with my teen sons is that they tend to seek out newer bands and singers with few fans to be the first to make a new discovery. Bonus is that newer acts have cheaper tickets.[/quote]

I am mid 40s and this was the most incredible show I have ever been to. I am not a swiftie. Its a 3 hour non stop experience and isn't even in the same stratosphere of most concerts. [/quote]

Same. I’ll note that the average age for the Eras show I attended was high. Mostly 21+, very few pre-teens or below, and a LOT of 30+ women.

The Eras tour is its own beast, it’s different from the usual pop tour. With the Ticketmaster debacle, more people missed tickets than got them. So this time there’s some community in being “out.” If you lean into the FOMO and make lemonade, you’ll find many others doing the same. And Swifties are a creative and energetic bunch, so don’t underestimate the potential of a Swiftie parking lot party!

I know that’s easy for me to say as someone who got tickets, but honestly my peak memories from that night aren’t about what was on stage. It was about being with my friends, being part of something HUGE and positive and unapologetically girly, and screaming along to music that has meaning for me. I know I could have done that in a parking lot! [/quote]
