I’ll be honest, I don’t really care about swifties unless that’s all they talk about and I’ve gotta deal with them in real life, in class or something like that. Also, I admit I have seen an artist twice on the same tour. When I was traveling with my bf and some family around the UK in 2023 he and I saw The Struts perform twice in the Remember The Name tour, since tickets were pretty cheap (£20, standing room at a small venue that’s mostly standing so you’re right on the floor in the action!)
Exactly. They were known to be super hard to get and lot of rich fans were going like 4 times even to other states! It’s entirely just self centered and also unnecessary. I get maybe going twice. But like 3 or 5 times is absolutely selfish and weird. It would make me feel like I was robbing another fan of being able to enjoy it as well
Literally. This reminds me of posts I’ve seen before about people blaming girls for buying too many clothes in certain sizes and it preventing other girls from having clothes. As though this isn’t a supply chain issue and as though they aren’t paying their own hard earned money for the same clothes. 💀
Right!!! So their behavior of buying multiple price gouged tickets in multiple cities reinforces the scalpers behavior. You were so close 😭 We know buying multiple tickets isn’t the problem. We are aware scalpers and resellers are making it difficult. But it’s the people who buy the tickets who are making the problem worse - scalpers know SOME idiot will pay far more than the ticket is actually worth, and it drives the competition from the average consumer to the ultra wealthy consumer, so
okay so there’s this video of this woman and she’s like “guys i have the best news ever” and so her daughters are tryna guess the “best news.” then she’s like “my best friend taylor swift is getting married” and it was just a super lame and embarrassingly parasocial video bc this woman has NEVER met taylor swift. i think #1 was reminded of the video cause going to the eras tour that many times bc they likely feel the same type of attachment the woman in the video felt, which is weird.
Babe, scalpers will scalp regardless of the tiny handful of people who can afford multiple tour stops. Scalpers won’t stop until scalping is outlawed on these platforms. Stop blaming a minuscule amount of people for spending their own money when they aren’t the problem. Most people who buy from scalpers only go to one show.
Idk i guess I’ll say I’m not the target audience for her just from what I’ve seen. sure there’s production value put into her shows but I feel like she herself severely lacks in stage presence and for me the music quality just doesn’t make up for it. Kpop seems to have good performance elements/production as well as choreo and presence
I might’ve misspoke on what I meant by saying “greedy” I just have like a perspective on how I personally view things and i typically put fairness over that. Like best way I can explain where that feeling comes from (not saying the situations are alike) but when a teacher would call students to do something in the classroom and more students got picked out of favoritism or their stick got pulled too many times. It’s like that part of that weird gut feeling.
YES im so glad someone brought this up. Aside from the weird “best friend” delusion from the mother, the fact that she thought it was comical that her kids were excited over someone potentially being dead is so disgusting. She just dismissed it and still posted the video thinking that it was a cute look. I can’t even imagine how she speaks around her kids on a daily basis for them to be saying those things so casually.
The problem is that we will literally around dogging on girls for buying 6 Stanley cups in multiple colors with keychains for each one and every season. But then just go “it their money” when someone sees a concert seven times, buying outfits probably off of a fast fashion site (SHEIN) only to be worn once and thrown away down the line. It’s just hypocritical mindsets.
