Taylor swift

[Matt42]

Hmm… looks like there is a hint that Taylor may be playing Madison Square Garden… which is an arena show.

Swings and roundabouts but maybe there is an arena set up for the Eras tour as well?

Would guess she wants to try and break Harry Styles record at the MSG

The 1989 World Tour had practically identical setups for the arena and stadium legs according to someone I know who went to both.

So then she is going to do a 20 night residency in 2024 during Glastonbury 😂. If its what it seems then its a one off and tickets are going to be $25. Harry did that as promo  thing for his last album. Although the problem with msg is there are not crazy restrictions you can place on tickets. So lets welcome some more complaints about resale markets and such.

I honestly think swifts camp don’t care about the complaints for resale market , on the ticketmaster page fir=her tour it actually mentions the prices will be dynamic pricing

Taylor hasn't once done anything that makes fans lives easier or stops them opening their wallets, and I say that as a long-term fan. She's a capitalist and rinses the fanbase for all its worth at every opportunity, and isn't particularly shy about it. Dynamic pricing is just going to be another thing they'll have to deal with if they want to see her live.

Even if dynamic didn't exist, she'd inevitably come up with something like that at some point anyway.

Had a conversation with a friend about this. We probably weren't too far off an artist releasing 'a new show due to demand' with the tickets being a little higher in price because of the demand. 

The ticket rush for Taylors tour is going to be incredibly interesting to watch. Social Media gets larger every year and the idea around hating scalpers does too. My hope is swifties will buy more than they need ticket wise and sell to others at the same price, to hopefully stop touts. 

In general, touts need to be stopped more than ever and the dynamic ticketing pricing is only increasing their selling price.

Happy for someone to say I’m wrong but I think dynamic pricing will make touting worse.

No I agree and that's pretty much what I said. Dynamic pricing will mean they will sell it higher than the dynamic prices, rather than higher than the original ticket price.

And thus the standard for resale tickets will go up - basically people will get comfortable paying even higher.

I found the Swift article the other day extremely disturbing, especially people taking out literal loans from the bank to attend the concerts. 

Genuine question, has anyone met anyone like this before? Literally getting into serious debt to afford concert tickets.

My partner has a friend, whose younger sister used to be a 'directioner' and used every bit of exposable income that doesn't go into paying bills and food to save up for going to see Harry Styles as many times on his upcoming UK tour. She's seeing him every night in London, front standing tickets, along with nights in a hotel. Its about £1000 on tickets alone I think, not including hotel and London food for 4 days, as she's going the day before. She's planning on sleeping outside Wembley between the first and 2nd show.

Wow, and yet her activity would probably be considered mild by todays standards.

Yes. She used to get the benefit of the doubt with regards to her motivations as a popstar, but that went straight out of the window when she refused to denounce Trump for fear of upsetting fans in Wyoming or wherever. And I say that as a fan.

To be fair since the reputation era she has come out solidly as a democrat

Of course, but there was never any doubt about her actual views, which was part of the problem 🤯

Agreeeed

[ls2408]

She’s there, the awards start at 8pm she’s already won best long form video or something - if she only attends award shows when she knows she’s won (or whatever the rumour is) I think we could be in for an announcement tonight
