What is Taylor Swifts Reputation worth? Not the jacked-up prices shes charging for concert tickets.
Thats the verdict from ticked-off fans, who are balking at buying seats for the 28-year-old pop stars tour to promote her new Reputation album, citing stratospheric markups and greedy sales gimmicks.
I paid $150 for my ticket with amazing seats for the 1989 tour. Now for the same seats I have to pay about $500, Twitter user swiftieloves recently griped.
A look at Ticketmasters interactive seat charts confirms that Swifts schedule of 33 dates for the North American Reputation tour has yet to produce a single sellout, from its May 8 launch in Phoenix to its Oct. 6 finale in Arlington, Texas.
Thats despite seats being available to the general public since Swifts birthday on Dec. 13. By comparison, all the dates on Swifts 1989 tour in 2015 sold out within minutes, according to concertsandsports.com.

Lotsa boobies under that fire hose.
Brilliant, but lost on most literalists here...
LOL! got on the floor up to three rows from stage & got some GR8 pix (Boston,Heart...) Loved it when for finale late into the nite the Nuge came out to jam with BOC! Super Times,
She isnt charging enough for tickets if the concert sells out too quickly.
The most I ever paid for a seat to a concert was $250 for Leonard Cohen at Caesar’s Palace in 2010. I was the aisle seat in row 2. I went by myself. Me: Honey, do you like the music of Leonard Cohen. Husband: Who? Me: Go play poker, I’m going to see a show. So off I went, by myself, to see the brilliant Leonard Cohen for $250. Worth every penny.
I ended up sitting in the “Leonard Cohen International Fan Club” section and I spoke with people from around the world who loved and appreciated Cohen like I did. It’s actually a pretty good story, if anyone is interested PM me. :)
The old past their prime guys get the most because people our age have money to relive our glory days!
No they don’t some still command a high price but most nope. Saw REO, nugent and Styx for $20 a seat a few years back
She has a scratchy whiny voice even with autotune.
Marketing is #1 in anything especially music.
Teen Beat would have the latest boy or girls band / singers. Now the pop stars are on every magazine cover as only a half dozen companies own most of the media.

If you normally sell seats for $150 and sell out, and now you only fill 2/3 of the seats at $500, you’re making a killing. :)
NO.
Spielberg’s first release was a short love story called ‘Amblin’ He named his entertainment company after it. His first full length movie was a TV movie called ‘Duel’ Good movie. His first theatrical release was ‘Sugarland Express’ another great film with Goldie Hawn.
He released Jaws in 1975 and Used Cars was a 1980 release that he was Executive Producer. Robert Zemeckis Directed and Co-Wrote the film. Funny as hell!
You can also turn off most of the fans with these high prices. They go elsewhere. There is always someone new.
