#harry's doing a 20k capacity venue and his ticket prices are £70-120

[finexbright]

gonna take a minute to rant about just how much i love louis and his care for fans and how he's always trying to do things in the most affordable, convenient way possible. getting his tickets was one of the most smooth, seamless experiences i ever had. love how his first tour was a bit smaller and now that he's doing larger arenas, the pricing hasn't changed a bit. he's taken so much care and consideration into curating his brand and making it accessible and you can see the genuine thought process that goes into it because louis isn't just putting music and tours out and calling it a day. he's examining every little aspect of it and making sure that at the end of the day everything is as fair as possible. i know we can say it's the bare minimum, but to me at least it isn't. because it takes a lot of planning and organising to be able to pull this off, but it also takes a lot of investment time and money wise. and i honestly commend him for being one of the only artists in the industry who's not only to bring change but also who's putting a damn good fight and being a very good example of what an artist could be and how relaxing and beneficial an artist - fan relationship can be

#i will further rant in the tags #regarding pricing i don't think there was any ticket that went beyond £60 and that's a huge feat tbh #and even the ones that went that high were for bigger venues which makes sense #i am NOT comparing anything but just for example sake because this is the only one i have #harry's doing a 20k capacity venue and his ticket prices are £70-120 #and that's not including platinum or pods. with that it goes as high as £500 #and louis' doing a 20k venue for £35-60 #the fact that he's literally treating ticketmaster like a secondary option says a lot #gigs and tours seems very indie and on brand for louis' tickets and honestly it worked because it was literally so easy #and it didn't make you go through a thousand hoops for it #and because he didn't change his pricing much even when he went from venues with 3500 capacity to 20k+ capacity #you know that he's barely making any profit off of it #he might make a bit more than break even point #and his merch pricing given the quality seems very reasonable to me #there are artists out there selling tees for £100 #you can see he really LISTENS to the fans and sees what we're talking about it and tries to make it easy for us to access things #like i'm pretty sure he knew about ticketmasters bastard ways and that's why he said a big fuck you to them #man i just really really really love him #he has such an affectionate relationship with his fans #and he's willing to fight for us #like not in a mushy way #but we KNOW how many times he's been sabotaged and YET he comes in blazing #and do you know what though. in a way all the opening acts he's had or artists he's endorsed WILL follow the same path as him #we already saw otp fighting for fair ticket pricing #and that's what matters #a whole new wave of artists are gonna look at him and be like ''man i wanna be as fair as him'' and fight for change #in the horrid music industry and i'm here for it #fitf is gonna be an album that'll put louis further on the map and there's literally gonna be no stopping him after that #he'll literally be a revolutionary and i'm so glad i get to be in his corner to see it happen #i know parasocial relationship and whatever and i'm putting too many expectations/hopes/projections on him or whatever
