the thing that offends me most is the price. i remember thinking £80 was a lot for a concert ticket in about 2010

So Beyonce wants the poors out of sight and out of mind while those who can afford her $900+ tickets can see her?

I never liked Beyonce, but now she can legitimately go fuck herself at this point.

Fuck Beyoncé. 900 bucks for a concert? To hear the shit she or her team produce? Fuck her.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

This is dumb might as well hear her songs on the radio for free. 154 dollars to "listen" to her concert. How greedy can she get?

Back in my day we called that being outside the venue.

I haven’t been to a concert in years. Prices are just too much, and then there’s this bullshit

Pop and other giant artists are the ones with insane prices. Small bands are pretty reasonable still. I go see well known metal artists' concerts in LA for $20-55, usually around $30. More than it used to be sure, but it's a bit less than $900 lol

Any blind people here with opinions on the matter? Assuming it's an artist you'd like to hear, would you buy a cheaper ticket in back, or still want to be out front?

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If ALL of the concert is like that, then it would be avant garde "art". Maybe a social-statement about entertainment.

This woman is one of the worst.

No idea how she has fans.

[–] lenathaw@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

her fans will defend this

[–] InLikeClint@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago

Her voice is so awful anyway. She couldn't pay me to listen to her garbage ass "music".

[–] LordTekno@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is no one I would pay that much money to see.

[–] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

That's the thing, you ain't going to even see her with those tickets.

A fool and his money...

They won't even have something like a screen to see what's happening on stage?

[–] YoungPrinceAmmon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That would be extra $100 sir
