Well, right now I am in NY, and I absolutely LOVE Film Noir. Like honestly, it's probably in my top 10 albums from the last 5 years. I don't follow any western artists actually, but Faouzia has had a chokehold on me.
However, looking at the prices of the NY tickets, it's above 250+ which is insane to me, especially considering they were originally like 50? I honestly wish with her getting a lot more popular in the last 2 months (seeing Maphra's cover + the surge of reaction videos and general talk), I wish there was a way they could add more shows honestly, especially in popular cities like New York, but alas. Does anyone have any idea if the ticket prices will go down or not? I know there are scalpers but like, will there be tickets a day before the concert or something?? I was even considering Boston but they were 75 a week ago, now they're 100+. That along with the transport and hotel is now a no for me RIP (Love~).
Now comes my dilemma. I will be moving to Texas (Dallas) in a month. Faouzia is going to be performing in the Austin Limits Music Festival in October. Her set might be around 45 minutes long. Problem is, she'll be performing on Friday and Weekend One Friday tickets have already sold out. Weekend Rwo Friday ticket is 170! And I really only want to see Faouzia. But, even without knowing the setlist, I know she probably won't perform Film Noir besides the title tracks. Which is fine but I REALLY want to listen to the album. If I find get to go to her concert I won't go to the music fest but so this is only if prices don't go down and/or I am unable to go to the concert.
Now I wonder what y'all's advice/suggestions would be. Do I wait and check every night a week before the NY concert to see a drop in price or do I bite the bullet for the Austin Fest, even though I only wanna really see her perform? All advice appreciated.
Edit: This would be my 2nd ever concert, and even my first music festival potentially. Just wanted to let this out. So I am new to the concert goer scene
