Officially her team - with her in charge - has devised a plan to help fans beat scalpers by getting fans to register on her site so they could pre-purchase tickets to her shows.
The catch is - once you register you can't actually pre-purchase anything...
You're going to HAVE to buy her album, buy her songs individually, buy her merchandise or even buy multiple of the same albums so you can build up points. The more points you build up the closer you'll be to trying to get those pre-purchased tickets...
You also have to promote her work on all social media - sort of like her own, personal, but not payed - marketing team! How sweet!
How nice of her!
Once again ripping off her little underage fan-base.
So unpredictable!
Well...at least she represented herself right this time - with a snake promoting her new album!
This is smart marketing. As a consumer of music you can call it what you want, but in this age where the artists are getting ripped off left, right, and centre because of easy pirating, she and/or her team have created a plan to buy in to her brand legitimately. Watch for other artists to follow suit, because there's nothing wrong with that.
First of all, these underage fans are getting their money from somewhere (mom and dad). So really, to peg this on the underage fans is really pegging the responsibility on to the parent. They get to say yay or nay in the end.
Second, she's got a reward system in place for the items these fans would normally be buying anyway. And as for promoting her, fans who love her already do. This is an easy thing for fans to follow and a nice reward to be able to prepurchase tickets before the general public.
I see nothing wrong with this, in fact, I think it's brilliant. I think the fans end up getting what they want just as much as she does.
Taylor Swift is a product of corporate industry. She has little to no value as a musician. People who take this sort of music seriously tend to have no idea what actual musical artistry is. Not surprisingly they also line up with open wallets to be robed of their money.
That's pretty dumb, the majority of people who go to these concerts are young girls. I'm a guy who's 30 so I would not care about going to a Taylor Swift concert or any concert for that matter. I remember when I was a teenager, Britney Spears was the "shit" back then, I wanted to go her concert, never got to that either.
Honestly just try to purchase the tickets on Ticketmaster or use an app called Seat Geek, it combines all the resell ticket prices into 1 app and you can find the best price and which seats.
Meh not bothered, her music okay but not worthy enough to go through all that let alone see her. I don't need to go to a concert to hear the same songs played on the radio 24/7. I'm not surprised by the snake, a lot of these celebrities low key worship Lucifer.. a snake has always been his signature.
I always laugh when they talk about scalpers I mean who is it that sells 500 blocks of tickets to scalpers in the first place, scalping is part of the business. This is nothing new, anyway they can figure get more money out of you.
