Summary: “Beyoncé is selling “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see any of the set or dancing, but they only cost $157 compared to the ~$900 fans have been paying for regular US tickets.”

haha!

fuuuuuuuck that.

    I saw this posted elsewhere a few days ago, and people made a good point that folks who are blind or have limited vision still go to concerts and will buy those tickets. The price is another I guess, but the seats themselves are valuable to the blind community.

      To be fair, a blind person probably wouldn’t know the difference.

      These aren’t marketed as “handicap accessible seating” but rather as “yall poors can’t afford my $900 stadium seats, so I have to capitulate at the request of my management team”.

      I appreciate your optimism, though!

      Every sunday I put my trash on the curb which gives the homeless an opportunity to rummage through it for anything useful. Simply put Im a philanthropist. Im also really good at putting lipstick on a pig.

      If it’s behind the stage won’t the sound be much worse though? The speakers are out front and facing the crowd
