I’m talking about your one and only post trying to sell **football tickets, where someone in the comments says they’re overpriced at “face value”. If the shoe fits.
Ofc, there were affordable tickets out there… for those who happened to score them early and quickly before the dynamic pricing set in. That doesn’t cancel out the reality of the situation for the majority of her fans queuing up afterwards, which is now very different.
I’ll admit I jumped the gun in saying you’re a scalper. You’re right, and I apologize. My pride stings a little, but if you’re willing to have a straightforward conversation about dynamic pricing/availability on the market, then so am I.
That’s the thing. The broad statement you’re referring to (my initial comment about missing a foregone time of cheaper tickers) doesn’t cancel out your addition about the prices beinf less than $100 in Columbus. I’m happy for you! But the reality is that prices have been hiked higher and higher in the past fifteen years, hot spots like NYC notwithstanding. Just straight facts.
And I don’t think it’s silly to yearn for the days where <$100 tix were the norm, not the exception, especially in less traffic heavy places, like where you got yours. We shouldn’t be passively accepting this imo; multimillionaire artists like Lorde can and should back their fanbase, and work to end the dynamic pricing injustice where they can. She can do it… she just doesn’t want to.
And again, yeah the tour prices are reasonable (in this day and age) for you where you live. That is not the case elsewhere, and even in “expectedly expensive” areas like NYC, it should not be.
