OMG: Last-Minute Taylor Swift Tickets Hit $33K, Way Above Regular Prices
Live Nation and Taylor Swift fans are in an uproar over nosebleed seats for her Toronto concert reaching $33,000.
The cheapest regular tickets on Ticketmaster, the only official ticket seller for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, were priced at $599 before fees. Now, the cheapest ticket is a $1,055 standing-room-only ticket. However, if you want a seat, you'll be looking at a minimum of $6,500.
And those are just for the nosebleed seats! If you want to be closer to the stage, you'll be looking at paying a lot more. The most expensive ticket on Ticketmaster is a VIP package that includes a seat in the front row, a meet-and-greet with Taylor Swift, and a signed guitar. That package will cost you a whopping $33,000.
It's unclear why ticket prices have skyrocketed so much.
Some fans believe that it's due to the high demand for tickets. Taylor Swift is one of the most popular singers in the world, and her tickets always sell out quickly. Others believe that it's due to scalpers buying up tickets and reselling them at a higher price.
Whatever the reason, fans are not happy. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and anger. Some fans said they were willing to pay the high prices, but others said they would no longer be able to afford to see Taylor Swift in concert.
Live Nation has not yet commented on the high ticket prices.
It's unclear if the company will take any action to address the issue. However, fans are hoping that Live Nation will do something to make tickets more affordable for fans.
