Taylor Swift - Midnights (October 21, 2022) Album • Page 119

Yeah like I'm not even upset I couldn't get tickets. Not everyone could get a verified fan code and I didn't and thats life and tbh a stadium isnt my preferred setting. But it's the tech issues that bother me. And I get so irritated at people deflecting like "well she didn't guarantee everyone tickets. Not everyone could get a ticket what did you expect." Like yeah people would be upset still, but the main issue isn't that. it's obviously the hours in the queue, people getting booted off, error messages, not getting tickets but then seeing scalped ones go for thousands immediately, etc that people are mostly mad at. Like at the least can they not pull the scalped tickets and put them back into circulation? Idk anything about business but I feel like they should be able to take off the egregious ones but maybe not

 

give it a few more days, maybe she will do something special.

but excuse me while I don't hold my fucking breath lol.

 

I'm just going to ride out my bliss over the fact I got to see The 1975 as the first show after covid.

I will talk about this for the rest of my life.

 

She’s going to do whatever allows her to make more money. Plain and simple.

This is the only statement she could have made.

 

A free live stream of a show or two could go a decent way in the realm of soothing some of it. But I expect a concert tour special to pop up somewhere a few months later instead.

 

I was talking to someone about this last night. I would totally pay a reasonable amount of money to watch a live stream from my couch.

 

Assuredly going to be on Disney+ or something that prints her more money.

 

like pay $50, throw in a couple small things from the merch store and a tour tshirt and fucking call it a day.

 

Don’t really know what else she should have said

 

Nothing. They spent the past few days figuring out what they could say within an anti-defamation clause and that’s what went out. Note that she never named any other entity.

 

I would expect a bidding war between Netflix, Apple TV+ and Disney+

 

Time for Long Pond evermore, Taylor.

 

Eh “it’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets” in the same statement where she says “all I can say to those who didn’t get tickets” followed by some empty PR sentence that doesn’t include the word “sorry” doesn’t feel as empathetic as it could. But who cares, really. Feels like she’d be safe legally and could still pass it all off on Ticketmaster like she does in the statement. But I don’t blame her or Bruce or blink (completely), it’s a nightmare landscape

 

Hope its Netflix since that's the only one out of the 3 I have.

 

As of today the cheapest ticket for Gillette night 2 is like 700 bucks, in the fucking nose bleeds pretty much behind the stage.

I'm going to check everyday till fucking may in hopes some of them go down.

 

Lol. Don’t fawn for one millisecond challenge

 

Cheapest for Chicago for any of the 3 dates with fees is over $850. Which is so shitty when at most those tickets where between $70 and $150 with fees

 

I mean... most people (especially her fans) have made up their minds about what happened here and who their personal villain is in the story. I'm not sure it mattered what kind of statement she made at this point. Zero chance everybody (or even most people) were gonna be happy with it.

Interested to see where the feds (justice dept, specifically) goes with this investigation.

 

It’s just wild that there were prices in the press release for the tour and then in reality they were nowhere near that (like the $50 seats).

 

right? I was holding out for today because there was supposed to be $49 tickets and I could have totally managed that. I can't justify paying over that amount for a single ticket to see anyone ever.

LIke the 6 times I've seen FOB, never paid over 100 bucks for 2 tickets.

 

To be fair, judging by the past concerts I’ve seen of Taylor’s, considering the amount of production work that gets put into it, I would expect tickets to start around $100 because it really is all out there onstage. But I also agree that is totally wack they even advertised $50 tickets.

 

The $49 tickets in Atlanta were behind the stage, but they were there.

 

The $50 tickets were real, I saw them multiple times. They were just behind the stage lol

 

I didn't look at the behind-the-stage tickets during the feeding frenzy but the cheapest tickets I hovered my mouse over for Denver were $109 (obviously before fees)
