As if not scoring tickets was not enough, then this comes on...
She read about PP being shut down, so she must read about this too.
At least do something for Europe (if she will ever come back, lol).
We should start a petition or sth.

There is no chance to end this. I tried to buy tickets for this tour but didn't get anything. Tried to get it from resellers for a <<fair>> price. No chance. Everyones involved got the point that there is a lot of money to make with tickets and I believe in the future it will be even worse. Because there will be always enought people who don't care how much the ticket cost. Those are the ones who don't dance and just take pictures for social media to show everyone. It is really sad. That’s where you’re wrong. Just because I don’t care how much the ticket costs, does not mean I’m not dancing or enjoying the show? You seriously think that the only people paying the high prices are rich people who don’t really care? Sure, there are some. But I’ve been to 5 shows so far this tour and there have been DIE HARD fans in the pit at all of them. People who wanted her signature for a tattoo, families who saved up for the tickets, people who had driven from other states. So let’s just stop the whole “there are no real pitfans in the pit” anymore because that’s obviously not true. I wasn't talking about that! I was talking about people who don't have to care for money. People who don't have to save and who can just fly everywhere and their bank account wouldn't even bother. People to whom Pink is just <<a star to see>> and her show just <<a place to be>>. Thats why it is so sad. There are real fans out there and in the pit but its getting harder and harder to make it for them. |

So let’s just stop the whole “there are no real pitfans in the pit” anymore because that’s obviously not true. You are right. There are still die hard fans in the pit and everywhere else in the arena. She has a lot of new fans and that's great too. Some of them were so young when she started. Other discovered her later and it is okay too. Before a show, I talked to a man who didn't really know her before the VMAs. He knew a lot of her songs without knowing it was her. But he felt in love, as we did years ago. And he enjoyed the show even if he didn't know all the lyrics. I think there is a real problem with the ticket prices and availability. Something has to be done. But the show in itself is incredible, the band, the dancers... We said a lot of negative comments (including myself) but Pink is still Pink and she is "still the girl we chased all around the word".I enjoyed every minutes of the 3 shows I attended this tour. And I'm happy to have the opportunity to see her again next year. |

And Pink can take it, she knows it's nothing personal to her, we're reacting and she has probably expected that already. So don't fucking feel sorry for speaking your mind about this okay good. |

I could never go into debt over concert tickets. I have a family and i don't want to put such a burden on us because i want to have fun for one night, to me that would be the negative outweighing the positive in the situation. Let's face it, a $500 ticket is actually my monthly salary (thankfully it's not my only source of income but if it was it would never be enough to cover all costs of life AND save anything). Over the years to me meeting my P!nk friends became wayyy more important than the 2 hours the concert is actually on (sadly i haven't had the chance to interact with her a lot, mostly being ignored when in first row despite seeing her 10 times - it's not a reproach towards her, just my luck 🤷🏼♀️ ) sooo i am just not on the level where i could personally justify spending thousands of dollars on myself like that. And with that i want to add that those of you who do spend crazy amounts on her - good for you and you do you!  i have always been amazed and a bit jealous of your free mindset, i worry wayyyy too much for doing things like that  i just think it is dangerous to start distinguishing between fans based on how much money they can or are willing to spend on a ticket. |

I'm not licking anyone's ass. |

Right. But it's not about the fans it's about that a Pink show is almost like an iPhone now. Not everybody need it but a lot of people buy it just to show they have it. In the end it's on her. She obviously doesn't care because as long as people buy the tickets like crazy it is all good. |

She just always recognizes me and my friends because we've been to her shows since early 2000. |

I know. I'm so disappointed about all that. A part of me would like to boycott all this. And sometimes, I prefer closing my eyes in order not to see the negative. Honestly, I'm afraid of losing interest in what she does, her music, her shows and right now, that's what happens to me. It's like a heartbreak. My love falls apart. It's not only because of the "tickets thing" and not a matter of money. Before, I was trying to convince people how good she was, but now, people tell me that they love this picture she posted on instagram or they bought a magazine because she was in front page, and tell me that they will go to her show, ask me have you seen this, have you heard what she said and I'm like "okay, no, well, I don't care"...haha. I'm fucked up. |

Tbh the last time was amazing. It was a true PP gig and all of my friends saw her too so I was super duper happy. It would be a fine "last show" for me because I ain't paying 500$.
Do we know the % increase of the prices compared to the TTALT?

Being in Singapore, we're used to crazy ticket prices when the big stars come to us. E.g. Madonna's was about USD900 to be near the stage. Also, Taylor Swift's tickets are crazy expensive (USD900 to be in the pit), and that's a stadium tour. So while P!nk's ticket prices are expensive, hers are actually still priced cheaper than her counterparts, and for someone of her calibre.
The ticket scalping is a problem but it is not within P!nk's control. It is an industry problem. This is corporate greed. I wish they'd put a cap say 10% profit on resale tickets (there are genuine people who can't make it and have to sell the tickets) but that is never going to happen.

She just always recognizes me and my friends because we've been to her shows since early 2000.  What? I don't get the first sentence. Anyways. I tried again to get tickets. Again. No luck. I am upset a little bit but not that much. All of the things that are going on with the tickets. I don't want to go to the show really or at least I don't mind. She lost her aura with this era. I remember when I bought tickets for the Amsterdam show in 2006. I was so excited and I thought she is the best person on earth. But now I am just disappointed with what she become. |
