Each show is almost creating a hole in the pocket. So, why do certain performers like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Adele, and others charge such a high price for the tickets?
Well, sometimes the production budget of the concert exceeds, other times, the artists work on a limited tour date, and because of the loyal fan base’s excitement, it demands more. Seeing your favorite artist singing your favorite song from your playlist – a surreal feeling for sure. So even if the ticketing has become so expensive, people still go and enjoy these shows. Scroll ahead to know about how expensive tickets have been for these 5 artists.
1. Adele
Like most of the current pop stars’ shows, Adele doesn’t have an elaborate stage production with epic dance troupes and confetti, and LED backdrops. But her concerts have always been soulful, heart-touching; it feels like having a personal concert in our homes. This particular essence boosts her concerts’ ticket prices. She does it once in a while, which makes it a limited affair, and as she has a separate fan base who often die to hear her ballads like Hello, the limited supply sky rockets the pricing. For shows like Las Vegas residency ‘Weekends With Adele’ charged $350 for mezzanine spots, prime-floor real-estate went up to $500-800, while the resale of the tickets often skyrocketed to $2000 or more.
Coldplay
Led by Chris Martin, Coldplay is currently one of the biggest bands that has been ruling the music industry for some time. Given their craze and popularity, they sell quite expensive concert tickets. Their shows include color-coded LED wristbands, confetti explosions, and huge stage production – all in all, it’s a spectacle for the audience. Each seat gets sold out, and every stadium unites the audience with the band through their melodies. Their world tours like ‘Music of the Spheres’ attract so much of people that the high ticket prices are inevitable. In major cities like London, prime seats are sold at $300-400, but that’s before you consider upgrading yourself to VIP add-ons or getting the ticket on a resale.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s craze knows no bounds. From being a teenage pop artist to becoming a pop icon, her journey has been quite impressive. Her fandom is massive, and as they like to call themselves, they are ‘Swifties’. After each album release, she tends to keep a concert tour named after that, be it Reputation or 1989, or Lover. With a massive stage production budget that includes a troupe of dancers, back-to-back dress changes, confetti explosions, and more, making her one of the artists who charge high prices for the tickets. However, her ERAS Tour proved that Swift is the queen of expensive concert tickets. Her official tickets for the prime slots hovered around $400 to $600, along with VIP seats crossing $1000.
Beyoncé
Beyoncé is a name that redefined the musical genre for people. From Destiny’s Child to becoming a pop star of her era, she has done it all, and with so much glamour. She has a huge fan base that cannot even be counted. With quality production to great choreography, and unmatchable vocal skills, her concerts are nothing that can be imagined. So, it’s no surprise that she is among the expensive concert ticket holders. Her tours, like the Renaissance World Tour, proved why she is who she is. Her ticket range starts from floor seats at $500, easily reaching $900 for front row experience. However, if you upgrade it to the VIP package, it might cross $1000.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s newfound spotlight is definitely something. Although she has been in the industry for a long time, her latest albums and tracks have broken all the records, be it Espresso or Please, Please, Please or Manchild – she is the new queen of pop music. Despite performing in smaller theatres, Sabrina has been creating quite a niche for her performance, including a troupe of dancers, customized outfits, confetti explosions, and more. So, naturally, she has also made it to the expensive concert ticket holders’ list. Her ticket ranges from $200 to $400, and it can often go upto $1000 when bought after resale. She is currently touring and enjoying all the appreciation and love.
So, these are the 5 artists whose concert tickets are quite expensive, but despite that, their seats get sold out, and the stadiums scream their names. It’s an experience.
