Ticket Prices

Stevie is coming to the Hollywood Hard Rock in February 2024. I was curious about ticket prices. OMG. The cheapest ticket at the last row of the arena is $255. Tickets on the side of the arena on the stage side $1725. 10 rows back is over $2000. Second row is $4900.
These are all per ticket. When I saw her 24K Gold tour in 2017, I paid about $350 for the side of the stage. The Hollywood arena went on sale today after 2 days of pre-sale and most seats are already sold.
Seats cost $832 in the mid-arena level.
For the love of God, who can afford $1600 for crappy mid arena seats?

Don't trust Ticketmaster. They're crooks. I got a VIP ticket for Carrie Underwood early this year for $125. The show was sold out or close to it. I waited to the day of the show to buy the ticket. Earlier in the day the same ticket for going for $600+. I don't like waiting to the last minute, but I'm definitely not paying those prices. It's a shame what has happened to the concert business.

Nope, sure can't. I've resigned myself to the ides that I probably won't see her live again. I've sprung for a couple of front-row seats before but at $5k a piece, it feels silly. How much $$ is that per minute?? Too much + she's further back from the audience than ever, no Edge walk, security guards are ruder than ever, and beers are $20 a piece. Seems like a racket.

Wait. A TicketMaster Official platinum ticket isn't $5,000, right? That's a reseller.

And far back meaning they have a barrier up?

Yes, the barrier is enormous. HUGE gulf between the front row an the stage...I think it may have started as a COVID precaution but now I think it's just comfort. Have you noticed those enormous industrial HVAC vents going on and off the center of the stage now? She's getting her own filtered oxygen pumped up there.

This is an auditorium rather than a sports arena, right? Less seats, higher prices. Eagles just announced a show here too. All the legends have played here except for U2, Roger Waters, and Madonna.

Completely stupid to pay those prices. Ridiculous.

Over 40 US dollars a minute for a two hour show -- more if she's up there for less.

She better be telling some ripping yarns.

I admire Billy Joel who keeps the front rows from being sold. He then has his people go into the crowd and fill the front rows with fans. He hated to play in front of rich people who were not hardcore fans and just sat there.
During her Enchanted tour all ticket prices were the same. You had to go to separate ticket vendors for great seats. Anyone remember frontrowusa? I remember for $350 I got 8 rows back and still was able to get involved in the Edge walk. I scratch my head and say, who can afford these houses, these cars, and now concert tickets. If your brought a date to this concert and got mid-arena seats, it would cost you $2000.00 not including parking, shirts, program, or dinner. For $2000.00 I want to be able to shower with the artist. I personally like to sing in the shower and I would love to have a competitive Edge of 17 howl with her.

Might not be too bad, as long as I could choose which ten minutes I wanted to attend.

I would wait to buy. Those prices will go down. I bought my tickets for the Houston show the week they went on sale. A month before the show, seats in the same section were $100 cheaper.

I'm wondering if promoters want to charge more money for concert tickets to see legend status artists who are at the end of their career.

They know she's gonna be kicking a big metal bucket, sooner than later.
