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.”
haha!
fuuuuuuuck that.
Fuck these ultra wealthy pop stars. They are part of the problem. There are millions of independent artists across hundreds of genres we can support instead.
And I know it’s subjective to a large extent but 90% of pop is absolute garbage.
The problem isn’t exactly the pop stars but live nation’s monopoly which strangles every aspect of the live music industry. As a musician if you want to preform at almost any large venue you’ll have to get in bed with live nation or be black listed. If you run venue you better join live nation’s network and use ticket master or else you won’t be able to book money making artists. And as a fan you better buy your price gouged tickets through ticket master or else you won’t get to see anyone play.
