An extra $50 is a lot if you've already struggled to save for already overpriced tickets. I dunno, I get the idea behind it but it's just penalising fans financially to deal with a problem the fans didn't make.

becky......The LAST thing you want is to get the Government involved. They would make the system worse while costing you more. Why? All governments do is regulate behavior through taxation. That's the original reason we separated from Britain. Sorry Katy.....I know it's not fair but Bogo is right about how it works. There are WAY more people that want to see her in concert than there are seats available. That will always lead to higher prices. It's Supply and Demand theory. Some of the premium seats on the 1989 tour were selling for over 3 Thousand Dollars!! And people bought them.

Right, even if bots and such were not an issue, I'm pretty certain her concerts would still sell out in minutes. A decade ago before bots were probably even a thing or at least weren't as sophisticated, I remember she could sell out a stadium in a minute. Once she sold out Madison Square Garden in 60 seconds.

Ofc her tickets sell out in seconds, all big artists do. Personally I prefer the idea of the card which the tickets where bought from has to be scanned as verfication to get in. We do that a lot here and I personally think that's fairer. To each their own The government are there to make laws and law should be a deterrent. A lot of artists here pushed for it to be illegal and the government didn't care. Ticket touting is not illegal, and I think it should be. Ed Sheeran encouraged fans to not buy from touts but people still did. They should be put out of business. Off topic but I just went to Boston and we don't care about the war of independence here, was interesting to hear your side and about the battle. What works for some doesn't work for others. I love law and politics. Anyways, her video was fab and I'm interested for the album. Will be the first era of hers I follow.

I agree I don't think she's always as innocent as she tries to portray herself to be, and she seems like she can be very vindictive when hurt, however she's also got a big heart and does lots of wonderful charity work and is really good to her fans. Considering she's the biggest pop star on the planet she also seems pretty low key and down to earth.

Not a fan of hers but girl is very talented and knows how to do her thing, which you can only be impressed by. As for the song, it doesn't really inspire me and I'm not sure it will. I think she's done better but when it comes to the music video, it's awesome and very clever. This is actually the first time I'm interested in hearing her whole album

Maybe try wading through her back catalogue, especially her non singles.......That's what I did during Avril's hiatus and I gained a lot of respect for her. Also might try watching her tour videos, especially "Speak Now." That is what opened my eyes to what's she's really all about. She puts on a show that's a mix between a concert, an intimate sing along, and musical theater production. It's all very entertaining and I realized a lot of her songs are written expressly to perform in a mini "play" setting. In fact I think the reason she is so huge is BECAUSE of her live shows. They are really big and well thought out stage productions. It is also apparent that it's an ensemble act; she relies a lot on the "cast" around her...........you will see she shares the stage well and with no ego. Yes, I guess I love her.........hahaha
Here is how she is talking.......charming, funny and well spoken. I really thought the Cricket player wanted to lean in for a kiss. Ha.
