Blackpink ticket prices are disgraceful... (1 Viewer)

[SeulPika]

These are the prices for Blackpink's London concert at the O2 Arena and I would guess that prices at the other European dates will be very similar....

Standard seating:



For the cheapest standard ticket, you are looking at £105*. (This is the price for the worst seats in the venue.)


Standard standing:



£160*.


'Blink Plus VIP:



£250*.


'Blink Deluxe VIP:



£432*.


'Ultimate Born Pink VIP:



£859*.

* These prices exclude the equally extortionate booking fees...

I am glad that I've already seen Blackpink a few times. Because YG are having a laugh with these disgraceful prices!
More than £100 for seats where you're seated so far away from the main stage, you would need binoculars just to see Blackpink on stage....
And where to get started on those ridiculous prices that YG are charging for the 'VIP' tickets...... For almost £1000 a ticket, I would certainly at the very least expect a meet & greet, photo opportunity and a signed album with the Blackpink members, if I were to pay that much!!
As it is, though, very little information has been released to the 'benefits' that you'll receive once you've handed over those large sums of money for the VIP packages.

Time to get a sugar daddy

YG went from just making Blackpink look expensive to making Blackpink actually expensive

if they sell the fans have only them selves to blame.
Continuing to enable YG in his lack of music , and prices only validates his practices in his mind.

Maybe you will get lucky and there is a cheap live stream version.
SNSD was only 50 bucks and well worth it.

I didn't have any intention of buying tickets myself. I am waiting for Red Velvet to announce another Japan tour.
But I still couldn't believe the prices that YG are charging for this tour. And even if I was thinking attending a Blackpink concert, I certainly wouldn't of after seeing those prices....
The prices are just extortionate, especially when you compare them to the cost of tickets to other upcoming kpop concerts....
I am quite sure that VIP tickets for IU's upcoming stadium concerts were only 165,000W (Roughly £105)....

Sadly comparable to most groups that are bigger nowadays when they go on sale. And especially since they havent toured in a while it's going to be insane. Even for Stray Kids and NCT it was difficult to find any ticket below 100 even the worst tickets were around that price.

Damn. I'd love to go to a concert one day but there are many reasons I can't XD

As much as I love Blackpink, I would never spend that much money on a ticket. Especially for crappy seats

 

[eclipsoul]

oh sh*t... good thing i don't enjoy concerts because this is crazy

 

[NBW]

i was kinda curious, since i havent bought a ticket for a concert in a while, especially to see a big group and found this article from august this year, pretty interesting

Spoiler: article and average price picture

gotta take in mind these r top 100 tours on those years, so huge artists. not that blackpink isnt, but nowhere near the level of some of these artists with countless hits, some over decades

in my experience its just better to wait for festivals and all. u dont get as much of a tight performance and more exclusive, but u get to see an artist u want, plus do a bunch of other stuff and maybe even check some other concerts out
i remember in 2018 or so when i wanted to go see Pearl Jam in portugal at NOS Alive, a festival here, and paid 90 euros to see them. was right in the front of the stage and i saw Alice in Chains, Franz Ferdinand, Jack White and MGMT same day, same stage... all bands that i liked plus Pearl jam played for hours as well
