Pop singer Lana Del Rey is facing backlash over the high prices of her concert tickets, as the UK sale for her 2025 Tour begins. This comes after her controversial performance at Glastonbury in 2023, which has seemingly resulted in her being ruled out for next year's festival.
The singer, known for hits like "Video Games" and "The Right Person Will Stay," has announced that she will be performing at various stadiums across the UK next year. However, fans were taken aback when pre-sale tickets were released and prices were significantly higher than expected, with some standing tickets costing over £400.
Ticket prices have been a hot topic in the music industry, with discussions around resellers and dynamic pricing sparked by the sale of Oasis tickets. Lana's fans have taken to social media to express their frustration, with some calling it a "sick joke" and others questioning the high prices for general admission tickets, which are priced at around £100.
The issue of ticket prices has been a recurring one for fans, as seen with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Beyonce's Renaissance at Wembley last year, where fans paid a similar amount for tickets. Many fans have expressed disappointment and nostalgia for the "good old days" of the fandom, where ticket prices were more affordable.
While some fans managed to secure tickets during the pre-sale, they did so at a steep cost. One fan shared their disappointment at paying £170 for front standing tickets in London, while another expressed concern about being surrounded by "TikTok stans" in the front pitch. It's clear that the £400 tickets have caused quite a stir among fans.
But unfortunately, ticket prices are not likely to decrease anytime soon. Despite efforts in parliament to prevent scalpers and resellers, the resale market continues to cost fans an additional £145m per year. And with the cost of touring higher than ever, it's expected that fans will have to pay even more for concert tickets in the future.
Lana's tour will make stops in various cities across the UK and Ireland next June and July, with tickets going on general sale on November 29th through Ticketmaster. Fans are advised to only purchase tickets from official sources, such as See Tickets and Ticketmaster, and to avoid paying more than face value.
Despite the controversy surrounding ticket prices, fans are still eager to see Lana perform live. Her tour dates include stops in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin, and London, and fans have until November 29th to secure their tickets during the pre-sale. It's clear that while fans may be upset about the high prices, they don't want to miss out on seeing their favorite artist in concert.
