[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Your daughter just happens to only be friends with rich kids. If she had more poor friends nobody would have gone to the concert. [/quote]

We bought tickets regular price the day of the sale through ticketmaster, same as two other of DD’s friends who went in other cities where they had family and were visiting anyway.  We know one family who bought off stubhub resale.  We know lots of people who didn’t go.

My daughter wants to see Sabrina Carpenter and I couldn’t get tickets through ticketmaster.  I won’t pay the hiked resale feels.  Stop assuming everyone who saw TS payed thousands.  Some of us got really lucky.  [/quote]

yes, we got tickets for the first leg of this tour at retail price too.  We paid about $200/seat in Philly and I only got 2 seats so I didn't go myself (I sat in my car while my 2 teen daughters went in).

That first Taylor Swift Eras leg seems to be the last time ANY ticket in the wheelhouse of teen girls was actually able to be purchased on Ticketmaster by an ordinary human.  I've since tried about 5 other times and was never able to even put tickets in my cart.  The latest being Sabrina Carpenter.  Now her tour is $400/seat for the nosebleeds in Baltimore.  That's insane.  
TS has basicaly ruined the concert industry for kids.   :cry:

You can blame TS for a lot, but not the insane price of concert tix.[/quote]

No, I think the TS Eras tour has completely "Normalized" spending absurd amounts for a concert ticket.  Before this nobody would even think of spending $2K resale for a nosebleed seat.  Now her opening act artists (random indy girls that appeal to teenagers---i.e. ones with no or almost no radio play) are commanding $400/ticket resale on Stubhub.  These are artists who previously would be $40/ticket.

It's completely changed the playing field (or shall I say, the "purchasing field") [/quote]
