That concert felt like a lifetime but I still didn't want it to end. SO excited for the ATL dates 

And we still have act iii?? We're eating impossibly good.

She brought this to herself with this "no promo, untouchable celeb" PR approach, 29 track album, country album etc. She's great when she's relatable like with 4 album. She better do it good with the rock album otherwise it'll be the end of her.

I never thought she’d do a stadium tour with this one. I mean optics wise I would’ve done theaters or dive bars to hammer the passion project vibes. Her xmas half time not making as much noise should’ve been an indicator for them. Plus I think they should change things up a bit for her. It’s the same sassy slay thing every time but now in a yee haw package.

Like Taylor is so wise that after coming from a massive phase in her career she’s in hiding. She knows that after a peak there’s a comedown.

What are the prices like? I'd love to go see Beyonce in concert but tbh times are tough and I'm not going to just any concert for THAT much money (looking at you Ticketmaster dynamic pricing). I'm only going to see my top 5 favs, if that. And I assume it's the same for most people. If tickets were cheaper, and people were doing better financially rn, she'd be 100% sold out

Impressive stage! It's good for the audience to see. But big stages like that look empty most of the time, even with many dancers on them and some props. I watched a live stream on YouTube, and it felt like watching ants perform

I meaaaan, get your country together 😅 dynamic pricing isn't allowed in the EU due to customer protection and i think it's more so the environment Bey, Gaga and other artists of their magnitude play in that their tours are sold with dynamic pricing. At this point I really don't think they have that much saying in the matter, at least if they want to book via ticketmaster/eventim 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dynamic pricing absolutely does exist in the EU though. It's called "Ticketmaster Platinum" tickets. It's just that they gave it a different name to avoid it being outlawed. 

The artists definitely have a say, they're all complicit though. I think it was Oasis who demanded Ticketmaster remove dynamic pricing for their tour and refund customers. But why would artists do that when they can make 2-4 times more money with it?

It was the Cure who forced ticketmaster to refund dynamically priced tickets and then relaunched their tour. 

Oasis were responsible for the most comically abusive use of dynamic pricing

I mean yeah but there's a limit  

I remember paying $400 per ticket for the SSN show and got right beside her piano. I paid $700 per ticket, more than two freaking grand, for the Mayhem Ball and I'm not even on the floor  

Something needs to change 'cause Idk if I can justify dropping $1k+ per ticket for nosebleeds at the LG8 Ball

Oh no I totally agree I’m just saying that even when they get lowered by now like bey’s have I feel like their reputation of expensive tickets makes people not even see if there’s discounts

It’s 100% the prices. I tried multiple days and couldn’t get tickets in Houston. The resale was insane. But I will be watching for falling prices come the event
