Ticketmaster has started selling "listening seats" or "listening-only" seats with "no stage view" for Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour. The seats, located behind the stage or sound equipment, offer no view of the singer herself. Not even screens are provided. You're basically attending the concert completely blindfolded only getting to hear every adlib, note, lyric and cheer without actually seeing anything. And the kicker is that she is charging as much as $91 to $225 in various venues! Beyoncé's stage presence is phenomenal and the high price of a really good ticket is actually worth it if you can get them. However, to pay a couple of hundred to NOT be able to see that very stage presence, and for her to expect fans to pay such an extortionate price, is absolutely NUTS.
I brought them by accident on stub hub but complained like a Karen at customer service and then got floor seats…. Sooo Yu can take ya chances. A couple of us in that section did it
ReplyDeleteItd be a scam if it wasnt made clear before purchase exactly what these tickets are. But given thats not the case, i say no scam. Its up to individuals to decide if they see value in these tickets and wanna purchase them. If they do, thats their business. Could never be me though. Might as well just watch on YouTube lol
ReplyDeleteLOL! Whatever next - being charged just to stand outside the venue, no visuals or sound at all?
ReplyDeleteSo it didn’t occur to any single of you that this could actually be for blind or legally blind people? They have the right to attend a concert too…so yeah they might see the extravaganza but they can still experience the concert…
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the difference between them standing outside the venue or being inside, especially if ticket prices don’t vary all that much between the two options?
DeleteRight. 😐
