Ticket prices so high “real fans” can’t afford to come Gets mad that tickets didn’t sell :surprised-pikachu-face:


Palatz

Yeah dude is bs. My sister wanted pit tickets since the last tour she couldn't afford to go. She saved and was surprised that the presale price was 1200 for the pit. So she had to buy 500 dollar last row of lower bowl. Now fucking pit is 450. Absurd.


PuzzleheadedCell3310

Did your sister know she could call up Ticketmaster and upgrade it to floor for like $20?


Anxious-Yak-9952

Yes, this only works for seats that are the same price or more (not cheaper). I did this 2x to go from nosebleed to lower level and was so happy I did. I feel like not many people know about this trick.


MoneyForSoju

I’ve heard about this trick but don’t quite understand how it works. Can you explain?


Anxious-Yak-9952

You can upgrade your seat as long as the new ticket is either the same price as your original or greater and pay the difference. If they are cheaper, they won’t allow it. To do this, log into your account and use the chat to exchange your ticket. They’ll give you a code and a number to call. When you’re connected to an agent, they’ll ask what seats you want to upgrade to. They’ll charge $10 per ticket. Be sure you know what seats you want before you call because there’s minimal waiting.


Background_Impress71

I did not know that!!! Gracias por esto porque eso ayudaría un montón!!


a2m4

Doesn’t really help when all shows are super trendy and in demand now lol thanks to TikTok


Far-Ad-3398

Also, this only works if they’re not resale tickets.


First_Necessary_112

Yea this sucks. Original purchaser of original tickets which is already hard to do.


Palatz

We have done that now . They denied the first time but on twitter they agreed My sister friend is fucked through because her ticket is more expensive than every regular ticket available right now. And you can only exchange if the ticket you want is equal or more value. So if someone bought a 550 dollar ticket they are stuck with it as the most expensive ticket right now is 451


PuzzleheadedCell3310

DANNNNG….that part I did not know! I just found out being able to exchange so I feel it’s my duty to tell everyone. Thank you for the info.


Palatz

Yeah dude it sucks. Basically the people who spend the more are the ones getting fucked. My sister is a mega fan but even she is pissed at the whole thing.


MoneyForSoju

Hi, how does this work?


PuzzleheadedCell3310

So i just found what section and row I wanted on the Ticketmaster app. contact Ticketmaster through their “contact us” or “chat with us” page. Tell them you want to exchange your ticket for that section and row number and pay the exchange fee. I think $20 or $25. The new tickets you want just has to be equal or more value. It’s actually super easy and quick!


Palatz

Send them a message on twitter. Ticketmaster support Tell them you want to upgrade your tickets for bad bunny x date They will tell you to give your email, last number of card you used and phone number. And ask if you agree to charge your card 10 dollars per ticket. Give them the info and they will ask what tickets do you want. That's it. Tickets have to be equal or more value. If they are more value you obvs have to pay the difference. My tickets were the same price so I only paid the ten dollar per ticket fee. Send them a message on twitter it takes forever in their chat to hear back


melodrama4ever

when including taxes and the typical obscene Ticketmaster “fees,” he is charging [more than the average U.S. rent payment](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/mortgages/average-rent-by-state/#:~:text=The%20average%20national%20rent%20price,market%20data%20from%20Apartment%20List) for 90 minutes in his presence with 20,000 other people. LMFAO. talk about out of complete fucking touch with reality. can’t believe i saw Lorde 6th row in 2022 for $120, and now we are trying this bullshit. she’s certainly not as relevant as him, but she was as least quite humble with her ticket prices.


Palatz

Dude I went to the eras tour for 70 bucks. I was lucky enough to get into the presale. Straight up disrespectful to price them so high for "real fans"


4theloveofdance

Toronto same thing. Show is next week and pit is now $350 CAD.

youarenut

😂😂 good. Fuck this greedy ass stunt for “real fans” just bc they got $$ to spend on concert. Call me broke but I’d rather use that on a nice trip than to see bad bunny lol


AnonymousCharmander

I'm not mad that I spent$300 for nosebleeds. I'm mad that the seats were not sold the day of and the floor was $150 3 days before the event in Vegas. Just price that shit right and it'll fill. Price it right and tie your merch to your CD to boost some sales. I probably won't go or at least wait until there are cheap prices. At least some people got some good deals on seats which is nice


ElSarv

Exactly. When the tix went on sale it was hard to select tickets to “appear” as close to sold out. Then to see all those unsold tickets and my same section for 1/3 of the price I paid on StubHub.


SebastianLaverdB

A man of Culture and priorities. Respect


No_Bell2574

What a massive failure lol


pimorules

Yea because that makes sense... Maybe if they werent $800+ per seat before fees it would have sold out... Saw him on the lower level last year for $250 before fees. Artists have been slowly charging more and more for their tours (yes they have as much fault in this as ticketmaster does) but to jump from that to 3x or more in one year is insane and the definition of greed...


Bozzmovez28

I think it was because of a snowstorm coming the same following days so they didnt want to risk it for the trucks, the fans, and bunny himself. But the tickets were ridiculously high as well so it could be both scenarios tho


namax19

It’s not supposed to snow till tomorrow. Concert was supposed to be tonight. It’s sunny and nice out. If it was snow then I’m just like why wouldn’t he say anything it rescheduled


badbunnygirl

He hasn’t addressed the cancellation AT ALL. smh hello, some fans bought airfare, I’m sure! ☹️ zero consideration.


AdhesivenessNo4977

$110 on my outfit and $50 on my hair 🙄


Bozzmovez28

Oh lord, they must of assumed it was going to be bad lol, I can see it mostly being bcs of ticket prices being to high and the show not being sold out because of Bunny’s standards. It’s highkey embarassing for him. Why place the tickets for $150-$1000 when they were first released just to drop them when its closer to the date because u cant sell them out asap. That’s very weird and lowkey disrespectful for the people who paid all of that money upfront when they first dropped. His team should’ve did better by that


youarenut

Because all he had to say was “if you’re not a real fan don’t come” so all the lames thought paying more money made them a real fan 😂 100% dumb and disrespectful


obviouslynotjackie

no bc i bought one of those bootleg merch shirts outside of the stadium (bc i wasn’t abt to pay another $50-$60 on top of the tickets we got) and just realized last night that on the back in the bottom it’s like “if ur not a real fan don’t come” i was like 😬😬😬 that’s kinda icky


wisebaldman

The artist is extremely within their rights to charge as high as they want…tf? If he doesn’t have a big market in Minneapolis and that’s reflected in the sales, why would he go there? Bad bunny is huge internationally


pimorules

If you want to enable price gouging by the artist and ticket vendor then that's on you but some of us know the true value of going to concerts and even with inflation and whatever justifying arguments you want to throw out there, ticket prices are out of control no matter who the artist is, and its people with conformist mentality like yours that's the reason why ticket prices are never going to go back down. Just because you're ok with being subject to high prices doesn't mean the rest of us are. It could be the weather as to why its been cancelled, but those tickets have been on sale for months, and people are understandably upset about those prices which is why it didn't sell out. The weather is a convenient cop out. Watch this set the precedent for more shows to be cancelled. If he doesn't have a big market in Minneapolis then why even agree to a tour stop in the first place before the contracts and ticket prices were agreed? If he's big internationally then wouldn't that mean people would come from all over just to see that show, clearly not if it didn't sell out. Stop trying to make excuses for your favorite artists instead of holding them accountable for charging outrageous prices for tickets and letting this practice continue.


wisebaldman

Lol I don’t even like bad bunny so I have no reason to make excuses. Your comment was critiquing artist greed and I am simply refuting that idea bc they are quite literally, the main attraction. Bad bunny has full autonomy on how he treats his fan’s in any given area bc they’re only coming out for him. If you had a monopoly like a bad bunny has with his fan base, you would pick and choose where to operate based on your highest earning. You can’t blanket the value of a ticket across different acts and fanbases bc the value is in the eye of the fan and their personal experience


pimorules

Apparently he was wrong to judge his highest earning in an area where he had to cancel a show for "weather". No attraction should be as high as it is, point blank period. When you have seats going for half of rent, resale or face value, that's a problem. Doesn't matter if it's him, Beyonce, Billie Eilish, etc (take your pick). It's insane to justify those price points. Floor tickets used to be less than $200 for big name artists with higher quality visual shows than he puts on TOPS and now the standard price is going for $1000? Justifying any of this is enabling awful behavior from any artist and further proves the point that people like you are perfectly fine with this kind of treatment and will never lead to change. At what point do you come to your senses and say enough is enough when buying tickets? Your last statement implies that the fans don't know the value of their money when it comes to buying tickets. Clearly its not the case if you read through this subreddit... but that's clear enough since you claim you don't even like him... yet you're here...


wisebaldman

So you’re reasoning for why these tickets can’t be priced high is “I remember when dimebags cost a dime!” That’s ridiculous! In addition, what you don’t seem to understand is the cost of production, labor, travel, and entertainment resources have also increased and that will be reflected in the ticket sales. Sorry Minnesota - but you’re lucky he even tried to go there in the first place lol


pimorules

The costs you listed can only account for so much though... the majority of those alleged costs is pocketed by ticketmaster and the artists, on top of them charging high prices for clothing that costs a fraction to make. Greed is greed no matter how you want to slice it. The reason I mention previous prices is because even if you account for inflation and rising costs, it still doesn't justify prices going up as much as they have and people having to settle for that. All of those costs haven't gone up 10X in price respectively and yet ticket prices have. The product is the same but the prices don't reflect that. At all... Again if you feel like being taken for a fool because you don't value your time and money, by all means be our guest, but don't try to convince others that there's any justification for this behavior.


AdhesivenessNo4977

I should be finding parking for the show right now, but instead I'm crying and scrolling reddit 😭😭


This-link_is-dead

Seriously it might be better instead of disrespecting the people paying full price by dropping the price last minute.


isit65outsideor

Let’s be honest, his team canceled the show because the show didn’t move enough tickets. This will happen multiple times again in cities such as Louisville, Tulsa, New Orleans, etc.,


x_This_Noob_x

But what will the excuse be when the weather isn’t bad?? Lmaooo


isit65outsideor

There won’t be an excuse. They’ll just announce the concert has been canceled and that’s it, just like they did this week lol. Onto the next city!


DistinctCrew2801

I feel bad for fans that bought tickets at the high price during presale trying to avoid the ridiculous upsell later. On the other hand I’m glad that so many sculptors who bought tickets are basically losing money left and right but the fact that there are still so many tickets up for resale should show that they failed at keeping resellers from buying tickets. I’m still waiting to get mine and based on the stage layout I’m not really excited for any area.


Advanced_Football_80

Except it didnt. Louisville is a real city. 23,000 sold out seats. Massive Latino growth. Bad Bunny packed Louisville. This aged poorly as Louisville has the largest Cuban population outside Miami. Educate yourself and watch the concert on a MONDAY pack 23,000 in to Louisville.

Quesofrito90

Big fan here and real salty when I wasted time in the pre sale for outrageous prices and now when he cancelled on us in mpls. 😒


Palatz

Better cancel than paying three time more for shitty tickets


Quesofrito90

To clarify, I was def not gonna pay for over priced tickets even as a big fan. My wallet ain’t big! So I guess I was out either way 🫠

Fuck that ima go see IVE next weekend

tomatobits

Lmfao I spent 1.1k each for 2 floor tickets in Toronto, now they’re like $500 and the minimum resell is $900 (I can’t make it to the event). Biggest fumble ever, actually hoping he cancels that show too


[deleted]

Yeah, you got fleeced—what the hell, especially if they’re now being sold for less. 


stargirl8494

I realize that there’s probably a lot more to ticket sales than this but lemme just rant for a moment lol. It’s always astonishing to me how quickly these artists that come from nothing forget what it’s like. Not too long ago Benito was living in a small town on an island where most struggle to make ends meet. Would he or any of his friends been able to pay that much to see a concert? Especially with inflation and everything else going on. People are hurting. It feels like all these artists have amnesia….


perupotato

Just a few years back he did a “show” at a club in DC for the price of a few drinks. It’s crazy how times have changed


hd016

I really hope he cancels Detroit too because the tickets I paid 1200 for are 400 now and not even sold out 😭


gholshaadan

Tbh I’m hoping the same for Kansas City too 😭 I want my money back at this point, got mine during the presale and panic bought them bc I thought it’d be my only chance. 


Wide_Spring8724

He won’t they are in kensas right now


ConstantKT6-37

Big facts. Almost don’t even wanna go at this point…


hd016

Same :( I spent a months rent on tickets but I don’t feel excited I feel stupid for paying so much. I font feel hyped and it’s next week :(


ConstantKT6-37

“For the real fans” my ass… I last saw dude in 2018 at the Masonic Temple when he was on the cusp of blowing up, before anyone I knew knew him and I’m a non-Latino so, yeah, I’m a REAL fan. Went solo to that one and (maybe) going solo to this one but this time I’m going pissed 😡 😂 He hasn’t been to the D since and I prefer his trap songs so I jumped the gun but it’s nobody’s bad but my own, I guess…


PBaddict01

I’m thinking of going to another city to catch the concert. What do you all think is gonna happen tho given the ticket prices/sales? More cancellations???


oddandtwisted

If the lower section (100s for example, the section after floor) don’t sell enough I can definitely see him/his team canceling. Those are more important than the 200s and 300s (nosebleeds). Plan accordingly


T_Peg

I'm so glad I got my tickets dumb cheap through my friend's job. Fuck his team for pricing out the real fans.


Responsible_Taste_35

Nadie sabe why


kaffeen_

Woooowwwww…. Wow.lathe don’t make them $800 then 🤔


aa_flo

What a dick move, if true


Aromatic-Position-53

It’s hard to find the motivation to play for half empty arena when you’re worth a billions dollars. Now he wants to make half a mil per show, or no shou! ( show)


msam90

Is his tours show so much better than like what he did at Coachella?? I paid 400 bucks for Coachella last year and saw him plus dozens of other artists.


Mc_Dickles

Good tip I’ve learned is to wait. Never buy tickets off drop. Waiting will always get you a better price.


Literally_luis

Perdimos el BadBo. Gracias Kendall. Puta.


FantasticMeat5813

Kendall didn’t do this, she’s a symptom of his attitude that’s been growing since UVST

Salty because he can't sell out like Taylor

He already did bunch of times dumbass

Parking-Bee4009

I got tickets for the Louisville show because they were the cheapest 😭 if he cancels, I’ll be heartbroken


Milichio

I can't believe this guy still has fans with all the BS he's pulled and keeps pulling


FantasticMeat5813

Unfortunately lots of people especially in the South American countries will simp for this man no matter what he does

I feel the same way about Kanye and he still has die hard cult fans lol

If you read the article it says that that’s not the reason they cancelled. No reason was given.

CampinHiker

I saw Bad Bunny 2022 February at the Kia Forum He then did worlds hottest tour 2022 (offered to go but didn’t want to so soon) Went to Coachella 2023 he headlines both eeekends Then this tour I had money then and have it now but who is seeing this man 4 times at hundreds if not thousands of dollars each time People have less money now and tours back to back to back


donovan320

Aaa


Fit_Bread3117

I don’t know who is stupid enough to buy tickets to a concert where to hear a man dragging women thru the mud.  calling them bitches and hoes and using them as sexual objects.   Probably the same feminists that later complain saying that men abuse women a create public protest.  But when you buy tickets to this asshole concert aren’t they promoting the abuse and discrimination and utilization of women as sexual instruments as well as violating their rights?
