Brush off your black mascara and bust out the skinny jeans! My Chemical Romance are hitting the road!
MCR recently announced a tour in the USA.
The tour is only 10 dates, but… this ain’t your mommy’s night club they’ll playing… It’s a 10 date STADIUM tour! Well done MCR!
And, it sold out very quickly! Like… VERY quickly!
You think fans would be happy about the tour, but quite the opposite! Fans are livid!
The reason: Ticket Sales.
It’s something we’ve seen happen with many artists, ESPECIALLY Taylor Swift and her Era’s Tour. It’s not fans buying tickets, it’s the scum of the live music scene: scalpers!!! People who buy tickets to resell them at ludicrous prices!
MCR Fans took to the socials and they are not happy!
@jermo285 took to Instagram. He was waiting in the ticket queue for an hour or so, and when he FINALLY got to buy tickets, only resale were available. This is what he found: The nosebleeds, aka the cheapseats were running just shy of N$ 13 000.
@darrendman found tickets! Almost N$ 17 000 a pop!
@heyheatherrose found one ticket for resale! It wasn’t golden circle, just a random standing ticket… N$ 36 000…
The problem according to these fans is ticket selling systems that allow a resale…
Ticket prices get pushed up by RIDICULOUS amounts, in the hopes that die hard fans will buy them!
Oasis, bless their miserable little hearts, cracked down on this! They have announced that up to 50 000 tickets will be recalled because of resellers. Those tickets will be put back on sale! Well done Oasis!
As for MCR, what if those tickets don’t get sold again?
Sure, the tour may have sold out, but if those tickets don’t resell, will they just be playing to a half empty stadium!?
