Fans have been waiting for this moment for six years: Shakira is going back on tour! After announcing it exclusively during the Coachella festival, the Colombian superstar has just revealed the first concert dates of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour”. For the moment, only North America is concerned with 14 concerts planned from November 2 to December 15 in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Brooklyn, Boston and Montreal. Pre-sales for these shows are open via Ticketmaster and the signals are rather green since the tickets are selling well, so much so that the interpreter of “Punteria” has added three concerts in Palm Desert (California), Miami and Brooklyn.

275 dollars minimum!
Except that if the tickets are snapped up, the fans are totally stunned by the price of the seats. For example, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles, it costs at least $275 for the cheapest seats, located at the very top of the room. Prices then range between 750 and 950 dollars for the low stands, while access to the seated pit easily exceeds a thousand dollars per unit. Worse, tickets entitled “Wolf Den”, including a standing place in front of the stage and earlier entry into the room and the possibility of purchasing merchandising before anyone else, cost a modest sum of $1,500.
“Do you think we’re billionaires or something?”
“ I love Shakira, but I don’t pay $1,500 [pour une place VIP] especially if there is no meet & greet » exclaims a faithful on X / Twitter. To hope to meet Shakira in the flesh, count on $2,500 for a VIP seat. “ With fees, we arrive at 3,200 dollars » notes an Internet user. “ It’s double the price of Madonna for VIP seats. Go consult Shakira » quips another. So, even if some have broken down, the public is choked by these exorbitant ticket prices, much more expensive, according to others, than the next shows of Justin Timberlake Or USHER. Add to that exorbitant fees on Ticketmaster: one spectator explains having bought a ticket for 299 dollars, but he had to add 72 dollars in various taxes, raising the price of his order to 372 dollars!
“ Shakira and Ticketmaster, are you crazy for charging $794 for a seat in the back of the room? “, ” These prices are a fucking joke “, ” Shakira, I love you, but the ticket prices are incredible. Girl, $1,500 for a pit spot? “, ” Do you think we’re billionaires or something? “, ” These prices are outrageous » complain some on X. Let’s hope that for his concerts in Europe, and we hope in France, logically planned for 2025, the prices are more affordable!
