Summary: “Beyoncé is selling “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see any of the set or dancing, but they only cost $157 compared to the ~$900 fans have been paying for regular US tickets.”

haha!

    I don’t understand why people are willing to pay that much for tickets. The “market” is ridiculously inflated. After my last experience at a live nation event first and only one in a long time, not for me not dealing with that cluster fuck and rip off trap ever again.

    Live nation ticket checking procedure is dumb AF. You have to be online to show the ticket but because the Wi-Fi and 5g arent working because 10k plus people are trying to use them it causes a problem. Then they don’t give you an arm band so every time I had to piss or whatever I had to show my ticket to get back to my seat. I cussed them out the 3rd time, almost got booted. I hate getting controlled like idiot sheep. Live nation doesn’t accept cash and want 17 bucks a drink. Force you to buy liquid death water too because fuck you pay me.

    I’m sticking to smaller venues, ones that dont have share holders to impress.

      I agree with your sentiments, but you don’t need to cuss out the people just working at the venue. By all means boycott any and all events that go through live nation / ticketmaster, but there’s no need to pour your anger on the venue workers.
