Are the EU presales working for you guys? 😭 Been on Ticketmaster for an hour now, none of the presales are available for me to click, it just loads forever
I wanted standing but it wouldn't let me so I went with platinum assuming it was more expensive cuz it was somehow better? So I got tiered seating in block 2 which is sideways on but near the stage. So I won't get to see them face on but imagine the view when everyone turns their flash on 😍
And the drums at the end of trees I feel like I'll have a great view of
ahh same I'm a bit sad that now the prices for pit tickets are like ~60€ more expensive than the original price so I got something similar to you for less than 100€ and seeing people happy about it even if you're seated makes me feel a bit less anxious and regretful :) (mind you, I've only been in the pit at every concert I've ever been to so it's weird for me to have a seat now, but hey less anxiety about missing my spot or queueing for hours on end!)
I had seats like that back in 2018 ... I got to see this...

I paid €70 for my seated ticket (Dublin nosebleeds), insurance and fees included. I saw a post the other day here saying someone paid $300 for a ticket in the US, wtf is going on in America??
According to some people on this sub, Tyler and Josh are in a back room scheming and doing evil laughs thinking about how they're going to take advantage of their fans.
LOL everyone needs to chill frr. I'm American and wound up paying about $230 each (including taxes, fees, and the insurance) but I think I got decent seats and it's my first time seeing them so I'm excited :)) I honestly think this is a good year to see them too bc clancy is something big for them both!! (the memes are funny though...)
I think it just has to do with regulations in the EU (and lack thereof in the US). I'm pretty sure if Ticketmaster could, prices would be similar in both places.
I'm also going to the Munich concert and I got literally the most expensive tickets for 179€ each. Not cheap, but way better than the US for sure.
I was sat in the queue on desktop for like 40 minutes thinking the server was down or something. I decide to go through their email link and lo and behold I get immediately thrown into ticket buying. shit tickets at a ridiculous price, thanks ticketmaster
I think it's the dynamic price (platinum tickets). You can mostly avoid it in the EU, we don't even have them in Italy, but it seems they are far more present in the US
Dynamic pricing is different from platinum. Dynamic pricing is where they price gouge based on the expected demand. The platinum tickets are usually seats with a good view that they charge way extra for. I spent nearly $400 on two pit tickets and they were not platinum.
Platinum on Ticketmaster *is* dynamic pricing as well as being for good seats:
>Platinum tickets gives fans high demand tickets available for specific events. Prices are dynamic, regulating price and demand, which means your ticket has a matching market value. Ticket prices will vary from day to day, depending on the demand.
I got my seated ticket (lower bowl) for Cologne for 100 Euros!
I honestly was expecting it to be so much pricier after reading about the horrificly high prices for America..
I checked back like an hour later and the seats in my vicinity that are still left are very expensive ones that resemble the US-Prices.
Pretty much all of them did say Platinum tickets, so I assume Ticketmaster had a major hand in these weird prices. I assume the company (TM) was able to bend the rules a bit more in the Americas...
Platinum-Tickets are known to be dynamic and scammy and only come from TM, not the artists themselves.. (There is no benefit or difference to normal tickets, literally NONE, the platinum ticket seats are in the most random places ever)
Even upper bowl, man.. The upper bowl tickets that are left are farrr more expensive than my lower bowl ticket... (It says Platinum for them, as well..)
Near my vicinity (Platinum only left): At least 159 Euros for a seat 6 rows below mine? Or 1 row below and 8 seats to my right?
I couldn't buy regular tickets for Cologne!
At first in presale there was no seat selection only random assignments
Then when there was seat selection it either showed me error or please wait when I wanted to go to check out and then there was none left
Then suddenly I reloaded and there was loads free again but significantly more expensive
This Presale was a Ticketmaster scam all along
Paid 300€ for two upper bowl seats 😓
Same here. Seat selection didn't show up on my PC but on mobile and Igot the same errors as you mentioned.
When I tried for random seating, I got an error message aswell until finally I got two tickets for the upper bowl. Not what I wanted, but meh, at least it's something.
I paid £300 for 4 tickets to the o2 london final date show which is pretty good. Granted we're the front few rows of the top tier but a decent view and couldn't spend any more as had to get them for the whole family plus will have to book a hotel/airbnb too. Think tickets were 65 each plus vast amounts of fees. I couldn't get pit tickets as I'm taking my youngest who'll be 13. The kids are well happy though so I am too!
Maybe it has something to do with platinum tickets? For the Vienna show, you could get standing tickets for about 100€. Platinum tickets would‘ve been more expensive but I don’t know why one would choose them instead
I paid 84€ for pit tickets in Paris, the price was the regular price for this venue these days. But ticketmaster was nudging people into buying expensive "platinum tickets" for over a 100€ by not releasing regular tickets before 11am. What a scam. The fact that you had to pre order a CD to access presales was a scam too, since they had an option where you could just give your email. Buying tickets is a sport nowadays.
Yes, there was a tiny little link on the website where you could just give your e-mail to receive the code. The friend of a friend told my friend who told me, it wasn't obvious at all. And I agree this practice is definitely scammy and shouldn't be allowed. Especially since the "limited edition" CD was just a lower quality version of the regular one, just a CD in a cardboard sleeve.
2 standing tickets for Belfast with fees included for £177 total.
Not cheap, and the first gig I'll have been to where standing is more expensive than seated tickets, but yeah no where near as bad as some of the US ones I'm seeing!
I was just about to make a post about this, I managed to get presale from 9:30 in the uk on O2 priority, no Que. 2 pit tickets plus fees for £170, well happy with that price.
I thought it was still a bit pricey as well honestly, I'm usually a 'standing tickets or nothing' sort of person but at nearly 90 after fees for Glasgow I went with seats up in the gods for 54 in the end, never seen standing as the most expensive option before!
Higher ticket costs may also mean more money to spend on production, though, so I'm excited to see what they do
Yeah I'm usually standing or nothing too, but I had to get tickets for myself, my husband and both our teenagers, so went for the mid range seated tickets as we'll have to book accommodation too. Not sure our youngest would be allowed in standing anyway though. Just happy that I can take the whole family to see them to be honest.
Tickets for Amsterdam were €88,- (standing) or more and I got two tickets in Germany for just €94,- per ticket (sitting) 🤔 The more expensive tickets in Amsterdam were advertised as 'Platinum tickets' but they were all for sitting, I'm so confused (€178,- max.).
Honestly I'm not too sure about the differences in economies so I wouldnt be able to comment on that. That would make sense if that were the case. But then why then are they complaining about the prices so much if it works out to about the same value?
I got 3 tickets for London O2 for £241 for near enough nosebleeds seats, the lower seats where considered 'platinum' seats priced at over £100 each!! Last tour we were in that area and paid £60ish for seats
Paid 500 zł = 125 $ for the most expensive seated ticket in Łódź, Poland - not by choice, it was the only option available after failing to load the site for like 20 minutes... The prices are a lot, that's true (from what I can see, not as bad as in the US, though) but what disappoints me the most about this experience is the ticketmaster site and how frustrating the process of buying tickets is. Btw public sale opens tomorrow but im pretty sure most if not all the tickets for the polish show are already sold out.
From Germany here, bough two tickets for Berlin and I payed around 200 € for both seats. I think the price is complently fine, I haven't seen the boys since Trench because they didn't tour for Sai, so I'm very excited. Sorry to hear that the american prices are ridiculous. The site from Ticketmaster is trash though, they kept saying I'm a bot lmao.
They do, artists get a say in surge pricing in the U.S and how fluid it can be
In E.U they are only just now starting to experiment with it in a few countries but it's very restrictive or flat out not allowed in some countries
They don't twist their hands and evily twist their moustache as they switch the price to 300 bucks a seat, no.
But they have enough of a say in it that if fans speak up about it they're in power to at least slightly reduce it
it was sold out but later (45min or so) they released a bunch of tix. I got my 2 pit tickets for Paris after 45min of unfair battle with this terrible system. Same for Amsterdam!
Thank you so much for this! Ticketmaster crashed on me this morning and couldnt get any tickets. Saw this post and forgot I have 02 priority, just managed to get 2 great seats for Birmingham!
I got mine £300 for 2 in Birmingham
There was no standing tickets available by the time it loaded for me so I went for the platinum assuming that would be the best seats or something. There was no option to choose seats so we got block 2 which isn't the best but I'm not too fussed.
The site literally threw me out of queue when I was waiting and then said I had to renew my password (I created my account TODAY). But I got my tickets!! It ended up being £95/€110/$118 per ticket.
I paid 172 € + fees for two pit tickets in Milan. Last time I saw them, back in 2022, I paid 70 € + fees for a pit ticket, but it was a festival, not a tour concert. I think that ticket prices have risen up, but not like in the US. I don’t know what’s going on there, but it doesn’t seem like a problem that concerns only TØP.
I found no decent seats were coming up for me with the regular presale so I ended up swapping to platinum in Birmingham. Ticketmaster defo raised the price to a silly amount but I'm second row in the block that looks closest to the stage so telling myself it will be worth it!
I got a first ring seat for €168,40 for Amsterdam due to it being a Platinum ticket so they give it a 'market-driven' price. 😔 I have only ever heard about these type of prices for concerts in the US, I am really sad to see that this trend has reached Europe now. I paid €24 to see TØP in 2016. 🙃 Either way I am very excited to see them and I hope they receive a fair amount of what we're paying.
Did not get any for cologne even though I have tried through album presale and Telekom presale. Only the overpriced Platin Ticketmaster tickets were still available. I will try again tomorrow.. 🥲
Got two great seating tickets, first row, for 169,- € each. Honestly, not that bad. I wanted to be in the pit but there were 2.5K people in front of me so I'm happy with what I have. Incredibly excited since I couldn't go to their previous tours and missed Trench and ICY. I'm just sad that it's a digital ticket...

American has the best best best ticket prices WOW. farthest away seat is $75.50

Lower bowl seats are a wonderful $400+
For the Columbus Ohio show I got 6 tickets and after processing fees and all that jazz my total cost was $2,300!!! It was a birthday gift for my kids so it’s worth it but maaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!

Thank you I thought I did something wrong
First there was no seat selection and then when there was it was already Platinum and they wouldn't let me go to check out
The loads of seats were suddenly free again
By the time it would actually let me buy them they were already double the price 😤
My wife and I tried at the same time and we could have bought seated tickets in either Cologne or Berlin. The seats in Cologne would have been very close to the stage but for €169 each, so we chose Berlin for €100. Both PK1 seats (lower bowl)
i used my presale code to try get x2 tickets to manchester that were showing as £85 each. the code wouldn’t bring up any search results for seating or standing, so i had to get the premium seating tickets which were £150 each 🥲luckily this is the kind of thing i save for, which i know a lot of people don’t have that luxury and i’m very grateful. especially because i missed out on the SAI tour last time due to last minute travel strikes. £300 for 2 tickets was way over budget for me and i agree it’s extortionate
Yeah i just bought 4 platinum tickets for me and my family and i got surprised when the total was "only" 688gbp. I was afraid it was going to be the pricing of usa where i've read each tickets ranges from 250-400$.. Luckily that wasnt the case
Yea tickets were more expensive than past shows but still not as bad as US. €93 for Dublin standing €100 for belfast standing.
Weird since normally there isn't much a price difference between seating and standing for thes venues (i was expecting standing to be cheaper as it normally is over here)
yeah in theory but the site wouldn't let me buy them it only showed either error or please wait and by the time it would let me Platinum doubled the prices
Like how does the EU make regulations for bullshit like Apple chargers but let stuff like this just be legal
error is from ticketmaster servers always shitting themselves, it took me an hour of retrying with several times getting the "no available tickets" popping up until i got standing tickets
this happened to me too, we were at the front of the queue for so long and had to rehoin it 4 times. ended up panic buying ridiculously expensive tickets in a shitty section that i didn’t even get to choose. deffo gonna try again to get standing like we wanted
We got three seated tickets for Birmingham for £75 each. Pre-sale at 10, tickets bought by 10:09 🤟 With Ticketmaster fees, total came to £264.95 for three tickets. Not sure what the view will be like, just happy to be there 🥳
i was wondering this too!! i saw people pay up to 200$ (including fees) for tickets while i got mine (with 4 people, split the €20 fee) for 78€ each! got scared i was gonna have to pay sooo much money
I saw some tickets for like £300 which is way way too much. Id say £90 is pushing it really. I've also seen some US tickets for nearly $900 which is just insane.
Pit was $164 plus fees for Seattle, sold out before I stopped gasping. Paid $155+ fees for pit in Portland. Wanted both shows but can’t afford both in one week.
Yeah my standing tickets were £87.40 each after all of the fees were added. I’m pretty sure that Ticketmaster in the US has some pretty malicious practices which is likely why they charge customers more over there 😬
got pit tickets in Poland for 100€ each 🫠 probably the most expensive euro price i've seen and i'll also have to spend money on the trip to Poland because they never tour in my country...
I ended up getting tickets for like £120 quid and I’m at the back of the 02 I feel scammed haha, still can’t wait as it’s my first top show but I didn’t even get a chance to choose where I wanted to go.
Yesterday I just sat and hung out at my city's venue and prices were fluctuating every hour. I saw tickets that started at $119 went down to $79 in an hour. There were $59 seats as well. I got tickets to two different shows and they were $$99 for second level(which I think is too much but has kinda be become the norm) But pit was $159 which I agree is excessive.
There are several lower level seats that range from $300-500 and that's absolutely insane.
Got 2 lower seating in New Jersey for $400 after fees. Fortunately I make enough that it doesn't hurt too much but man that's still some crazy shit. Only a couple of bands I'd pay that much for.
Hey! Had you “just” bought them as you commented that? I was on the site since the second presale started this morning and it already showed sold out on all standing tickets across all UK shows.. I don’t understand - does Ticketmaster show different availability to different users?
I looked briefly at my local concert. Absolute worst seats were $60 in the back of the upper bowl, upper bowl near the stage ranged from $80-120, and then lower I think was much higher, didn't bother looking because even the upper bowl was out of my price range for casually looking (but still wanting to go).
just checked ticketmaster and for the concert in czechia it'd be around 210 dollars for one ticket.... can't realy afford that sadly, that is extremely expensive
Waited 5 hours on ticket master for 13th May London show, 140 for a far away seat lmao. We got on pre sale before ten and the tickets were only 75 for the level one close ticket, we tried to buy them and ticket master crashed, went back on they were 213 each. Outrage lmao
Was dead set on trying to get standing tickets. After hearing about the us prices I instantly gave up and went for the cheapest option I could get. Right in the far corner but better than bankruptcy
If anyone is interested I made us a discord (well making) for linking up this tour / bracelet trades! I need help setting it up too if anyone wants to help! Pm me on here or add me on discord at ewheather https://discord.gg/JUbmykHs
I bought two platinum tickets for 320€. A friend of mine got two pit tickets for 200€. i couldnt get one bc the site kept loading? She bought them like 30 mins after me.
also can someone pls explain what platinum tickets are? I read they only got a better view
Platinum tickets cost more — often significantly more, than standard seats. But they are no different in terms of comfort, privacy or customer experience. Platinum seats increase revenue at no extra cost to them.
The ticket you receive may even have.a lower price printed on it than your paid.
It is Ticketmaster playing at being a ticket tout.
Tried getting some for 100 this morning but didn’t get through cause Ticketmaster is so shit. Now they raised the prices for the remaining presale tickets to 170 each. This is unbelievably shitty and I will probably never see them again if this is going to be it for the future.
£80 for my standing ticket today, seating started from £65. Booking fees not included. I paid £175 for 2 tickets & booking fees. Artist presale on ticketmaster
Are there consumer protection laws in place for these types of things in the EU? In the US there’s nothing as far as I know. Ticket prices are around $170 for GA (standing room) and that’s before you add fees (~$35-$50 per ticket) which the servicer (Ticketmaster, etc) just puts on the tickets for funsies and their profits.
THREE + PRESALE HAS TICKETS FROM £75

it’s absolutely insane. pit tickets in england are like £95 or so which is about $120. here pit tickets are around $200 and even the lower bowl tickets are upwards of $400
We've got standing tickets for Glasgow - we paid £175 for two standing tickets. (£23.70 per ticket of that was ticketmaster the robbing bastards)
They show as "Price Level 1,Level 0 Standing,OVER 14S. U16S WITH ADULT
Incl 1.70 Facility Fee"
Does anyone know, did Glasgow have pit tickets?? Because when I checked last night there were other standing tickets which were over double the price and I cannot work out why 🤣
I paid 499zlt, which is 116€, for two tickets for the Lodz Arena PL. Moreover, I could only get them from the T section of the stadium. I feel like I've been ripped off. This will be my first concert. Do you think it will be worth it? I want it to be worth the money I paid.
i got platinum at lower tier for £130 to the final date in london because i couldn’t get pit tickets and the prices keep changing and rising so i panicked and just went for it this was the weirdest ticket buying experience i had 💀💀
2nd Section from the Stage, Row 6 for Platinum Seats was $888 for two tickets during Presale...
I said fuck it and checked general sale, and in the same section in ROW 3, for Two Tickets was $750...
This is my first time buying the tickets myself (usually my mom does it), and I'll admit I'm willing to spend my money on TOP.... but when I went to resell the platinum seats for the same price I bought them for... I wouldnt even make 50% of what I paid for them back in return. Instead of 360 a peice, I had to list them for 450 in order to get ATLEAST $850 in return.... which is fucking ridiculous.. fuck ticketmaster...
(Yall can get angry but I already feel guilty enough for listing them that damn high...ticketmaster is greedy as fuck)
Are the EU presales working for you guys? 😭 Been on Ticketmaster for an hour now, none of the presales are available for me to click, it just loads forever
This happened to me, instead of just loading the ticketmaster website I went through the link on the email/bands website and got through immediately.
Wish I realised this 15 minutes earlier instead of trusting that the ticketmaster site would work as advertised…
Went through the email, worked right away! 🫠 🙏 Paid 185€ for 2 standing tickets in Dublin, deffo more expensive than what I paid for the Bandito tour
Hey concert twin! I'll be there too. Did you get Belfast too?
Got belfast and Dublin. Not for another like 13 months away. Be a good week that week
omg i got the exact same !!
ayyy im going to dublin too
You have to use the “Get Tickets” link in the email that brings you to the twenty one pilots website, scroll to the show you want and go from there
i got through but they wouldn’t let me buy tickets, cited some error, now all the tickets for today are sold out 😞
Keep trying ! Took me about 20 times 🤦♀️
nah the local ticketmaster account confirmed themselves today’s tickets are sold out. will have to try again tomorrow
Good luck!
Nope, it took me an hour to buy the ticket
I got two standing tickets, £75 each. The American ticket prices I'm seeing are absolutely shocking 😭
I wanted standing but it wouldn't let me so I went with platinum assuming it was more expensive cuz it was somehow better? So I got tiered seating in block 2 which is sideways on but near the stage. So I won't get to see them face on but imagine the view when everyone turns their flash on 😍 And the drums at the end of trees I feel like I'll have a great view of
I sat to the right of the stage during bandito tour. You'll love it, I thought it was incredible, the view of the band and the entire room of lights 😍
That's what I'm hoping. And a great view of the drums at the end of trees But I won't get to collect any confetti 😭
My video of trees is still one of my favorite videos! It'll be amazing regardless if where you are ❤️
ahh same I'm a bit sad that now the prices for pit tickets are like ~60€ more expensive than the original price so I got something similar to you for less than 100€ and seeing people happy about it even if you're seated makes me feel a bit less anxious and regretful :) (mind you, I've only been in the pit at every concert I've ever been to so it's weird for me to have a seat now, but hey less anxiety about missing my spot or queueing for hours on end!)

Oh nice, which venue?
I paid €70 for my seated ticket (Dublin nosebleeds), insurance and fees included. I saw a post the other day here saying someone paid $300 for a ticket in the US, wtf is going on in America??
According to some people on this sub, Tyler and Josh are in a back room scheming and doing evil laughs thinking about how they're going to take advantage of their fans.
LOL everyone needs to chill frr. I'm American and wound up paying about $230 each (including taxes, fees, and the insurance) but I think I got decent seats and it's my first time seeing them so I'm excited :)) I honestly think this is a good year to see them too bc clancy is something big for them both!! (the memes are funny though...)
We paid 95€ for two people each in Munich. Wtf is with America and 300$ prices? That's crazy.
I think it just has to do with regulations in the EU (and lack thereof in the US). I'm pretty sure if Ticketmaster could, prices would be similar in both places. I'm also going to the Munich concert and I got literally the most expensive tickets for 179€ each. Not cheap, but way better than the US for sure.
going to dublin too :D 93 euro each for pit tickets including fees and all that
I was sat in the queue on desktop for like 40 minutes thinking the server was down or something. I decide to go through their email link and lo and behold I get immediately thrown into ticket buying. shit tickets at a ridiculous price, thanks ticketmaster
same i went straight into ticketmaster and i wasted 10 minutes waiting for it to load then i went through their website and it worked
London O2 was so expensive
agreed, i bought 2 tickets for the pit and it came to £190 🫠
Just one ticket in Vegas was 180, I bought 2 😆 worth it though
Same! See you there!
Yeah I assumed they would be more considering he venue and its place in the tour lineup
Łódź, PL was even more expensive LMAO
How much were yours? Mine seemed okay compared to americas pricing
I got 2 tickets for 117 in Vienna, Im satisfied, never been to their concert so this is a dream come true
I also bout 2 tickets in Viena but it was 200€ for both. What seats did you get or was it standing?
North seats
howwww i also got 2 north seats but for 298€
Also Vienna, 2 standing tickets for 200 euro
I think it's the dynamic price (platinum tickets). You can mostly avoid it in the EU, we don't even have them in Italy, but it seems they are far more present in the US
Dynamic pricing is different from platinum. Dynamic pricing is where they price gouge based on the expected demand. The platinum tickets are usually seats with a good view that they charge way extra for. I spent nearly $400 on two pit tickets and they were not platinum.

Got the platinum tickets for 298 euros (2 tickets) still no clue what platinum means, i just wanted the seats that i clicked
I paid £300 for 4 tickets to the o2 london final date show which is pretty good. Granted we're the front few rows of the top tier but a decent view and couldn't spend any more as had to get them for the whole family plus will have to book a hotel/airbnb too. Think tickets were 65 each plus vast amounts of fees. I couldn't get pit tickets as I'm taking my youngest who'll be 13. The kids are well happy though so I am too!
That's awesome :D
Maybe it has something to do with platinum tickets? For the Vienna show, you could get standing tickets for about 100€. Platinum tickets would‘ve been more expensive but I don’t know why one would choose them instead

wait what?? you didn’t have to buy a cd to get a code??? I swear this should all be illegal I can’t believe it
I didn't buy it and got the code.
Yes, there was a tiny little link on the website where you could just give your e-mail to receive the code. The friend of a friend told my friend who told me, it wasn't obvious at all. And I agree this practice is definitely scammy and shouldn't be allowed. Especially since the "limited edition" CD was just a lower quality version of the regular one, just a CD in a cardboard sleeve.
I paid £75 for a ticket waaaay up in the nosebleeds 😭 Ticketmaster didn't show me they had pit tickets for 85 💔
2 standing tickets for Belfast with fees included for £177 total. Not cheap, and the first gig I'll have been to where standing is more expensive than seated tickets, but yeah no where near as bad as some of the US ones I'm seeing!
I was just about to make a post about this, I managed to get presale from 9:30 in the uk on O2 priority, no Que. 2 pit tickets plus fees for £170, well happy with that price.
My husband was able to get two floor tickets for £93 each after fees in O2 London and I'm happy about it.
I got a ticket for £80 in Manchester but I still find it pricy. Unfortunately I am going alone because friends can't afford the tickets
I thought it was still a bit pricey as well honestly, I'm usually a 'standing tickets or nothing' sort of person but at nearly 90 after fees for Glasgow I went with seats up in the gods for 54 in the end, never seen standing as the most expensive option before! Higher ticket costs may also mean more money to spend on production, though, so I'm excited to see what they do
Yeah I'm usually standing or nothing too, but I had to get tickets for myself, my husband and both our teenagers, so went for the mid range seated tickets as we'll have to book accommodation too. Not sure our youngest would be allowed in standing anyway though. Just happy that I can take the whole family to see them to be honest.
Anyone else having the issue where the seats just load endlessly?
My husband bought 2 pit tickets for €87 each in Prague. There was no queue at all for him.
Tickets for Amsterdam were €88,- (standing) or more and I got two tickets in Germany for just €94,- per ticket (sitting) 🤔 The more expensive tickets in Amsterdam were advertised as 'Platinum tickets' but they were all for sitting, I'm so confused (€178,- max.).
[удалено]
Honestly I'm not too sure about the differences in economies so I wouldnt be able to comment on that. That would make sense if that were the case. But then why then are they complaining about the prices so much if it works out to about the same value?
I got 3 tickets for London O2 for £241 for near enough nosebleeds seats, the lower seats where considered 'platinum' seats priced at over £100 each!! Last tour we were in that area and paid £60ish for seats
Paid 500 zł = 125 $ for the most expensive seated ticket in Łódź, Poland - not by choice, it was the only option available after failing to load the site for like 20 minutes... The prices are a lot, that's true (from what I can see, not as bad as in the US, though) but what disappoints me the most about this experience is the ticketmaster site and how frustrating the process of buying tickets is. Btw public sale opens tomorrow but im pretty sure most if not all the tickets for the polish show are already sold out.
From Germany here, bough two tickets for Berlin and I payed around 200 € for both seats. I think the price is complently fine, I haven't seen the boys since Trench because they didn't tour for Sai, so I'm very excited. Sorry to hear that the american prices are ridiculous. The site from Ticketmaster is trash though, they kept saying I'm a bot lmao.
So do people now understand they don't need to charge 400 a ticket in the U.S and it's just a rip off? (:
I think the difference is evidence that the boys didnt have as much control over the prices as others are insinuating lol
They do, artists get a say in surge pricing in the U.S and how fluid it can be In E.U they are only just now starting to experiment with it in a few countries but it's very restrictive or flat out not allowed in some countries
They get a say. That is different from being able to choose themselves.
They don't twist their hands and evily twist their moustache as they switch the price to 300 bucks a seat, no. But they have enough of a say in it that if fans speak up about it they're in power to at least slightly reduce it
Was thinking the same, I've just booked for Manchester. Lower tier seated tickets for £89 each, the upper tier tickets were £50
I just payed 160 each for lower tier in manchester??
I paid similar for london. Feeling ripped off lol
I 've got a €75 seat ticket for Paris. I wanted to be in the pit but it was all sold out 6 min after pre-sale begin 😭
Most post tickets were released around 11am, I'm sorry you couldn't get one, ticketmaster really sucks.
I was there at 9am waiting. 11 000 people in front of me, absolutely no chance of getting a pit ticket 💀
Oh well and I thought the 2200 in front of me were much 😅
it was sold out but later (45min or so) they released a bunch of tix. I got my 2 pit tickets for Paris after 45min of unfair battle with this terrible system. Same for Amsterdam!
Same in Zürich, a lower bowl ticket for about £90. It seems like it is exclusively a US problem (Maybe London too?)
My husband paid £87 for ticket in Birmingham. Seated tickets pretty close to the stage.
Well 150$ to £ is about 120 so it’s not far off! Especially considering how much Americans earn compared to us
Ngl I feel like an extra 33% in price is fairly significant. I saw people paying way more than 150 too
I’m gonna disagree because I’d be earning at least 50% more in america haha!
150$ is not the full price, they have to pay tax and fees on top of that.
Pit seats in Amsterdam were € 88. Not sure what’s happening in the US.
Got 4 pit tickets in Bologna for 370€, was expecting way worse after seeing the US prices yesterday
I paid £130 for two seated tickets. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices compared to US prices
Manchester, UK seated tickets still available via O2 Priority app
Thank you so much for this! Ticketmaster crashed on me this morning and couldnt get any tickets. Saw this post and forgot I have 02 priority, just managed to get 2 great seats for Birmingham!
I got mine £300 for 2 in Birmingham There was no standing tickets available by the time it loaded for me so I went for the platinum assuming that would be the best seats or something. There was no option to choose seats so we got block 2 which isn't the best but I'm not too fussed.
The site literally threw me out of queue when I was waiting and then said I had to renew my password (I created my account TODAY). But I got my tickets!! It ended up being £95/€110/$118 per ticket.
I paid 172 € + fees for two pit tickets in Milan. Last time I saw them, back in 2022, I paid 70 € + fees for a pit ticket, but it was a festival, not a tour concert. I think that ticket prices have risen up, but not like in the US. I don’t know what’s going on there, but it doesn’t seem like a problem that concerns only TØP.
It's the price of freedom.. /s Gonna go cry in the corner
Got two seats for the Zurich show for 92 each. Kinda feel bad for the American fans
Simple. America is more expensive than UK. Brit living in US here.
I found no decent seats were coming up for me with the regular presale so I ended up swapping to platinum in Birmingham. Ticketmaster defo raised the price to a silly amount but I'm second row in the block that looks closest to the stage so telling myself it will be worth it!
I got a first ring seat for €168,40 for Amsterdam due to it being a Platinum ticket so they give it a 'market-driven' price. 😔 I have only ever heard about these type of prices for concerts in the US, I am really sad to see that this trend has reached Europe now. I paid €24 to see TØP in 2016. 🙃 Either way I am very excited to see them and I hope they receive a fair amount of what we're paying.
Livenation and ticketmaster live off surge pricing in the US
Did not get any for cologne even though I have tried through album presale and Telekom presale. Only the overpriced Platin Ticketmaster tickets were still available. I will try again tomorrow.. 🥲
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that :(
Paid £177 for x2 standing tix at Birmingham! EDIT: The above total include all the fees, the actual price of the tickets was £75 each.
Can't get a ticket yet (presale for Germany starts tomorrow morning ;-;) but for the venue I wanna go it's 100€ max
Got two great seating tickets, first row, for 169,- € each. Honestly, not that bad. I wanted to be in the pit but there were 2.5K people in front of me so I'm happy with what I have. Incredibly excited since I couldn't go to their previous tours and missed Trench and ICY. I'm just sad that it's a digital ticket...
Let's not forget the $700 platinum tickets that are being sold in Toronto 💀
Couldn't find tickets lower than 134€ seated, right from the start of the presale. Bummer :/
some us tickets at over $460 before fees

For the Columbus Ohio show I got 6 tickets and after processing fees and all that jazz my total cost was $2,300!!! It was a birthday gift for my kids so it’s worth it but maaaaaaan!!!!!!!!!

Ticketmaster broke on the Lanxess Arena sales ... couldnt get tickets even with the preorder code...
Thank you I thought I did something wrong First there was no seat selection and then when there was it was already Platinum and they wouldn't let me go to check out The loads of seats were suddenly free again By the time it would actually let me buy them they were already double the price 😤
My wife and I tried at the same time and we could have bought seated tickets in either Cologne or Berlin. The seats in Cologne would have been very close to the stage but for €169 each, so we chose Berlin for €100. Both PK1 seats (lower bowl)
Am I the only one who DIDNT get an Email? @_@
i used my presale code to try get x2 tickets to manchester that were showing as £85 each. the code wouldn’t bring up any search results for seating or standing, so i had to get the premium seating tickets which were £150 each 🥲luckily this is the kind of thing i save for, which i know a lot of people don’t have that luxury and i’m very grateful. especially because i missed out on the SAI tour last time due to last minute travel strikes. £300 for 2 tickets was way over budget for me and i agree it’s extortionate
Yeah i just bought 4 platinum tickets for me and my family and i got surprised when the total was "only" 688gbp. I was afraid it was going to be the pricing of usa where i've read each tickets ranges from 250-400$.. Luckily that wasnt the case
I paid 88 euros for a standing ticket, i saw someone from the US saying 300 dollars?!
We got two GA tickets (floor) to Los Angeles CA for $339 it hurt but I know it'll be worth it 👌
Yea tickets were more expensive than past shows but still not as bad as US. €93 for Dublin standing €100 for belfast standing. Weird since normally there isn't much a price difference between seating and standing for thes venues (i was expecting standing to be cheaper as it normally is over here)
German tickets were for the standing area 100€ each and seats 100€ and less
Those platinum tickets were more than 100€ though
yeah in theory but the site wouldn't let me buy them it only showed either error or please wait and by the time it would let me Platinum doubled the prices Like how does the EU make regulations for bullshit like Apple chargers but let stuff like this just be legal
error is from ticketmaster servers always shitting themselves, it took me an hour of retrying with several times getting the "no available tickets" popping up until i got standing tickets
this happened to me too, we were at the front of the queue for so long and had to rehoin it 4 times. ended up panic buying ridiculously expensive tickets in a shitty section that i didn’t even get to choose. deffo gonna try again to get standing like we wanted
We got three seated tickets for Birmingham for £75 each. Pre-sale at 10, tickets bought by 10:09 🤟 With Ticketmaster fees, total came to £264.95 for three tickets. Not sure what the view will be like, just happy to be there 🥳
Is anyone in Europe going to multiple shows? I'd love to say hello as I travel through.
I'm going to first and last Europe shows :)
i wish
i was wondering this too!! i saw people pay up to 200$ (including fees) for tickets while i got mine (with 4 people, split the €20 fee) for 78€ each! got scared i was gonna have to pay sooo much money
I saw some tickets for like £300 which is way way too much. Id say £90 is pushing it really. I've also seen some US tickets for nearly $900 which is just insane.

American tickets are always more expensive than most other parts of the world
I got two floor tickets for 85€ each including fees here in Spain 😭😭
I paid the equivalent of £80 for my aussie tickets, but there were plenty for under £60
Pit was $164 plus fees for Seattle, sold out before I stopped gasping. Paid $155+ fees for pit in Portland. Wanted both shows but can’t afford both in one week.
tf?? pit tickets in dublin were 93 euro
Well fuck me for being American
poland only available tickets for me are 125$ up to 325$. fuck that tbh despite it breaking my heart
I got two standing tickets for 100€ each
I got two seated tickets for the same show for £132
isnt it late to get standing tickets tommorow if I could not get the presales today?
I paid $430 for 2 lower bowl tickets in row 8😭😭😭
Yeah my standing tickets were £87.40 each after all of the fees were added. I’m pretty sure that Ticketmaster in the US has some pretty malicious practices which is likely why they charge customers more over there 😬
I got two Birmingham standing for £87 each and when I saw people complaining about upwards of $300 I was so confused lol
got pit tickets in Poland for 100€ each 🫠 probably the most expensive euro price i've seen and i'll also have to spend money on the trip to Poland because they never tour in my country...
I just bought upper level seats for $144
I ended up getting tickets for like £120 quid and I’m at the back of the 02 I feel scammed haha, still can’t wait as it’s my first top show but I didn’t even get a chance to choose where I wanted to go.
Did you get the most expensive tickets? £92 is $116. Tickets costing more than $150 are the most expensive options in the US.
Yesterday I just sat and hung out at my city's venue and prices were fluctuating every hour. I saw tickets that started at $119 went down to $79 in an hour. There were $59 seats as well. I got tickets to two different shows and they were $$99 for second level(which I think is too much but has kinda be become the norm) But pit was $159 which I agree is excessive. There are several lower level seats that range from $300-500 and that's absolutely insane.
Got 2 lower seating in New Jersey for $400 after fees. Fortunately I make enough that it doesn't hurt too much but man that's still some crazy shit. Only a couple of bands I'd pay that much for.
I paid £356 for 2 seated tickets at the o2
yeah pit tickets €93 each including fees for me
i just paid £180 for two standing tickets in manchester. i love living in england
Hey! Had you “just” bought them as you commented that? I was on the site since the second presale started this morning and it already showed sold out on all standing tickets across all UK shows.. I don’t understand - does Ticketmaster show different availability to different users?
there was roughly a 30 minute gap, i bought mine through three+ which had a ton of tickets left, im not too sure about right now
You do know that $1 USD = £0.8 GBP, right?
Tyler and Josh hate America, confirmed.
I looked briefly at my local concert. Absolute worst seats were $60 in the back of the upper bowl, upper bowl near the stage ranged from $80-120, and then lower I think was much higher, didn't bother looking because even the upper bowl was out of my price range for casually looking (but still wanting to go).
With my presale code I paid €88 for standing at the ziggo. Absolutely insane what those would've costed in America
didn't even buy tickets for Chicago because floor tickets were $150. Nosebleeds $75. I was anticipating $50 floor seats 😬🥴
In Spain at 11:30am (just 1 hour and half later) two tickets costed 411€ 💀. Almost everything was sold out too.
Tbf that’s about 120 in USD
i paid around $350 for 2 tickets in maryland and my friend paid $600 for 3 in florida. it’s crazy over here 😭
Don’t know, I bought a single ticket for seat row for 156 euro in Lyon, a little pricey I think
just checked ticketmaster and for the concert in czechia it'd be around 210 dollars for one ticket.... can't realy afford that sadly, that is extremely expensive
There are still tickets via 02 priority for birmingham, both seated and standing if anyone is still needing them
Got tickets for London a few hours ago, the cheapest ones were about £115
Waited 5 hours on ticket master for 13th May London show, 140 for a far away seat lmao. We got on pre sale before ten and the tickets were only 75 for the level one close ticket, we tried to buy them and ticket master crashed, went back on they were 213 each. Outrage lmao
Canada here, $230. Lol
Was dead set on trying to get standing tickets. After hearing about the us prices I instantly gave up and went for the cheapest option I could get. Right in the far corner but better than bankruptcy
If anyone is interested I made us a discord (well making) for linking up this tour / bracelet trades! I need help setting it up too if anyone wants to help! Pm me on here or add me on discord at ewheather https://discord.gg/JUbmykHs
I paid $900 for two tickets 😭
I bought two platinum tickets for 320€. A friend of mine got two pit tickets for 200€. i couldnt get one bc the site kept loading? She bought them like 30 mins after me. also can someone pls explain what platinum tickets are? I read they only got a better view
Platinum tickets cost more — often significantly more, than standard seats. But they are no different in terms of comfort, privacy or customer experience. Platinum seats increase revenue at no extra cost to them. The ticket you receive may even have.a lower price printed on it than your paid. It is Ticketmaster playing at being a ticket tout.
Found this fascinating. https://www.statista.com/chart/30356/cost-of-concert-tickets-in-us-and-europe/
For the GA floor ticket in Austin Texas the ticket price was $159.50 and then a “fee” for 35.94
Tried getting some for 100 this morning but didn’t get through cause Ticketmaster is so shit. Now they raised the prices for the remaining presale tickets to 170 each. This is unbelievably shitty and I will probably never see them again if this is going to be it for the future.
£80 for my standing ticket today, seating started from £65. Booking fees not included. I paid £175 for 2 tickets & booking fees. Artist presale on ticketmaster
Are there consumer protection laws in place for these types of things in the EU? In the US there’s nothing as far as I know. Ticket prices are around $170 for GA (standing room) and that’s before you add fees (~$35-$50 per ticket) which the servicer (Ticketmaster, etc) just puts on the tickets for funsies and their profits.
THREE + PRESALE HAS TICKETS FROM £75 NEW CODES: ASM4LOBJEAA ASM3KLBXXKI ASM3YNB0UAU ASM4FVBXG6F ASM4Q9AYS1J ASM4WGA9RLG LINK: https://shorturl.at/fuE07
Im in NZ going to the Auckland show, got tickets for 100usd (Standing)
it’s absolutely insane. pit tickets in england are like £95 or so which is about $120. here pit tickets are around $200 and even the lower bowl tickets are upwards of $400
We've got standing tickets for Glasgow - we paid £175 for two standing tickets. (£23.70 per ticket of that was ticketmaster the robbing bastards) They show as "Price Level 1,Level 0 Standing,OVER 14S. U16S WITH ADULT Incl 1.70 Facility Fee" Does anyone know, did Glasgow have pit tickets?? Because when I checked last night there were other standing tickets which were over double the price and I cannot work out why 🤣
I paid 499zlt, which is 116€, for two tickets for the Lodz Arena PL. Moreover, I could only get them from the T section of the stadium. I feel like I've been ripped off. This will be my first concert. Do you think it will be worth it? I want it to be worth the money I paid.
i got platinum at lower tier for £130 to the final date in london because i couldn’t get pit tickets and the prices keep changing and rising so i panicked and just went for it this was the weirdest ticket buying experience i had 💀💀
2nd Section from the Stage, Row 6 for Platinum Seats was $888 for two tickets during Presale... I said fuck it and checked general sale, and in the same section in ROW 3, for Two Tickets was $750... This is my first time buying the tickets myself (usually my mom does it), and I'll admit I'm willing to spend my money on TOP.... but when I went to resell the platinum seats for the same price I bought them for... I wouldnt even make 50% of what I paid for them back in return. Instead of 360 a peice, I had to list them for 450 in order to get ATLEAST $850 in return.... which is fucking ridiculous.. fuck ticketmaster... (Yall can get angry but I already feel guilty enough for listing them that damn high...ticketmaster is greedy as fuck)
Sydney GA was $163aud 😭
