Christ. $1000/seat for the worst seats in the house? And $120 for parking on top of that?

Who can afford this besides rich people?

I dont think middle class or working class people can afford this at all

I was in Denver for work when the concerts were going on a few weeks ago. Some
rich people but a lot of non rich people overspending on tickets.

I could easily do that but I wouldn't spend even a quarter of that on any concert.

I could afford it, but I couldn't justify paying that much for it.

Saw her in 2012 because my sister was visiting us when we lived on the other side of the country. I know she has evolved past the "stadium full of 9-13 year old girls screaming at the top of their lungs" phase but I still don't really dig her music. I would probably enjoy a GA section but not seats.

I just got back from a 9 day music festival where we spent $2300 CDN on 12 days in a hotel, so yeah, we COULD spend that much. Not gonna though.

We did spend $2235 CDN each for tickets to Desert Trip in 2016. I've checked off most of my music bucket list, so I can't see myself spending that much again. But with the right acts, ya never know.

Yea. I think they were way cheaper in my area though, I think I checked the week before and tickets were going for about $300 for decent seats.

Also I saw via tiktoks that some of the people attending are going into credit card debt for their tickets so maybe that answers your question

good lord thats a bad move. nobody should be going into credit card debt over concerts.

I understand going into debt for food and necessities but come on now. for entertainment?

I haven't looked into it, but pretty sure those are scalper prices.

Could I? Sure. I can save up a few grand and splurge when I want to. Would I ever do that for one concert? Absolutely not. Some of those prices are an entire overseas vacation for a week+. I'd much rather save and spend my money that way.

I tried to get tickets when they were released, but Ticketmaster never let me out of the queue. I'd have bought face value tickets in a heartbeat and actually gone to the show instead of flipping them.

I'd easily pay that much and more just to NOT have to go hear her 'sing'.

I could afford it, but I wouldnt spend anywhere near that much on anything as generic as she is.

she definitely does put on a great show

We were at her 1989 tour before we had kids and it really was one of the best concerts I ever attended.

I could, but I wouldn't want to. Why spend that much to see her, when I could spend like $60 to see bands I'm more interested in?
