The prices of the singer’s new tour Bad Guy are being branded “scandalous” after she revealed her 81-date schedule this week. The tour is intended to support Billie’s upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Softand while fans expressed excitement at the announcement of these numerous concerts, many were dismayed by the ticket prices.
General admission standing tickets for concerts in the UK will cost £150 (nearly $258 CAD), which many consider too high given the current global cost of living crisis. In Paris, the first price is set at 74.50 euros ($109.33 CAD), announces the AccorArena website.
“I love Billie, but there’s no way these tickets cost that much,” one user wrote on X/Twitter, adding that tickets for Taylor Swift’s latest world tour were cheaper: “I paid less for standing room only during the Eras Tour and it was at Wembley! » “I know I complain all the time, but look at the price of Billie Eilish tickets,” another British fan wrote. We really need to do something about the ticket prices, it’s really scandalous! »
Billie Eilish’s American fans are just as perplexed. “The minimum price for the Billie Elish show in Minneapolis is $141,” wrote one disgruntled American fan.
The tour of Billie Eilish, aged 22, whose audience is also very young, will begin in Canada in September.
