If you've tried to buy a ticket to a big concert recently, it's likely that you have encountered long waits, high prices, and limited availability. That is

In some countries you need to enter your ID when you buy a ticket like buying flights so it’s not transferable and tbh that’s not a bad idea, but not realistic I guess because there’s no official ID in many countries and asking people to enter their driving licence or passports isn’t possible for everyone.

american retail websites have shit security protocols, that would be asking a bunch of ppl to risk getting their identities stolen tbh

I’ve been to some small shows where they do that, but with an arena show that would take forever.

here tickets are nominal and at the entry they check your ID to see if it's you
If you want to sell the ticket, you have to change the name by paying again the site where you bought the ticket
also, it's technically illegal to sell tickets, so you either can resell them via the site where you bought them with the original price (and again, the site gives you less about and takes a %) or sell them "illegally" (on facebook or if you know someone, you cannot sell them on eBay or something like that)

Scalpers can and should eat shit

I mean good tbh but I’m actually surprised Travis Scott tickets are not in high demand. Like Astroworld was obviously bad but I feel like it takes so much to lose fans nowadays, like Doja Cat really tried it but she still got a #1 song. I’m curious about this apathy

Maybe people are just concerned about dying at a concert. It’s like when people really stopped eating at Chipotle when they had that food poisoning outbreak. Like you’d imagine that a lot of things would change and that would be the last place something like that would happen again but it’s not like he’s done much to make it clear that nothing like that will happen again at his concerts.

Does he have any new music lately? Maybe his main fanbase is just waiting for a new album (maybe he already had and I just have no idea, lol)

[myhipusername]

[tralexora]

Yea but does Gen z have money?

And spending $250 in the Target beauty section + the ice cube tray aisle for their tiktok hauls.
