[Music News] Beyoncé is selling $157 “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see the concert, any of the set, or dancing. (finance.yahoo.com)

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."

Wait 900$ for a concert? That's dumb enough for me.

they've gotten crazy if you are a big-big name like Swift, Beyonce, Drake, etc. Don't know how people can drop that kind of scratch!

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if there is anything in live entertaining I would pay 900, or actually I'm pretty sure there is nothing.

[–] thelongshot93@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Festivals where you're there for multiple days and seeing dozens of artists are the only thing I'd drop money like that on. One artist? Not a chance.

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Dang, would never pay that much money for a festival - would just workt there :D
