    So Beyonce wants the poors out of sight and out of mind while those who can afford her $900+ tickets can see her?

    I never liked Beyonce, but now she can legitimately go fuck herself at this point.

      I mean it’s still live music? It’s still a party? I am not a Beyonce fan and I would never pay that much money for one artist. But it’s not like you see the artists anyway if you are at the back. So it’s only over the big screens

        That’s what live concert albums are for. Pretty much the whole reason to go to a concert is to see the artist(s) perform, not just listen to them - you can can listen to them on a CD or Spotify/YouTube any random day of the week.

        It’s gross they’re charging $900 to see Beyonce, but it’s even more disgusting to charge ~$150 to not see her and only listen from the backstage like some shmuck.

    They’re going to feel real dumb when they see me pull out my periscope backstage.

    Fuck Beyoncé. 900 bucks for a concert? To hear the shit she or her team produce? Fuck her.

    If ALL of the concert is like that, then it would be avant garde “art”. Maybe a social-statement about entertainment.

    I haven’t been to a concert in years. Prices are just too much, and then there’s this bullshit

      Pop and other giant artists are the ones with insane prices. Small bands are pretty reasonable still. I go see well known metal artists’ concerts in LA for $20-55, usually around $30. More than it used to be sure, but it’s a bit less than $900 lol

    The music industry is so fucked. Nobody will pay for a local artist’s concert or throw a tip in their jar, but we’ll throw hundreds of dollars at this bullshit.

    This is dumb might as well hear her songs on the radio for free. 154 dollars to “listen” to her concert. How greedy can she get?
