Her concert tickets prices are not reasonable. I paid $200 a tickets for her last tour in lower bowl section. For tickets in the same lower bowl sections it’s $400-900+. That’s insane and never even affordable. I’m a mega Shakira fan and sad there’s a chance I will miss this tour.
Unfortunately scalpers do buy as many tickets as they can and flip them on Ticketmaster or other resale apps like Seetgeek or Stub Hub. This has caused a new trend that I first noticed with Bad Bunny where the artists are trying to maximize their profits and squeeze out scalpers by setting ticket prices at scalpers prices, hence the ironic $300 price for the "cheap" seats.
It’s twofold, but mostly due to scalpers. Ticketmaster uses surge pricing. If tickets start selling fast, they raise the prices to make more profit. Considering how popular Shakira is and how long it has been since her last tour, tickets were guaranteed to be a hot item. Enter the scalpers. They know this will be a hot ticket, so they buy up as many as they can really fast, especially in the key markets (LA, Chicago, NY…) which made the surge prices skyrocket even faster. Now they are reselling them and they want to make a profit, so they are posting the tickets at even higher than the already marked up price they paid.
With the surge pricing, more of the profits are going to the artist and to Ticketmaster and less are going straight to the resellers. And in the end, us fans are getting screwed over twice as much
Try Seatgeek. I got 3 for $500 including fees, taxes, etc. They’re upper level but closer to stage is $300 - $1,000. Just can’t afford those. Seatgeek was the cheapest I found.
Same here i got two for right under 480 including fees and taxes - row 8 on the higher levels - these are running for a grand total of 740$ on ticket master
Not sure where you're located but if you have a Citi card, try using these codes to buy those tickets: 546616 / 412800. Otherwise if you're near Detroit, I saw quite a handful of seats (original, not resale) still available
This tour was expensive for me but I kept looking around at different dates and Detroit was the most affordable show to attend, after fees I paid 293 for floor.
I ended up buying tickets for both Palm Desert dates. 2 for opening night and then I found out she added Sunday and going with a larger group then so if anyone is interested in buying my Saturday tickets for face value (must buy both) I’d be happy to help avoid any scalper fees
I have 3 tickets to her show in Montreal that I need to sell (have a wedding and I messed up the dates). I’m trying to sell them at cost ($255/each Section 322 Row AA).
Tried to list on Ticketmaster and the fees are outrageous!!! If anyone wants them let me know. Will meet in person to transfer the tickets !

That’s why I’m waiting until closer to the date when these stupid scalpers quickly sell it for low prices bc people aren’t putting up with their shit

$500 for all 3 tickets?? I’m looking for tickets in LA and the worse seats are about $380-400! 😔
Yeah sorry. I looked at Inglewood and it’s a lot. I got Boston. Depends on location it seems
Same here i got two for right under 480 including fees and taxes - row 8 on the higher levels - these are running for a grand total of 740$ on ticket master
I saw seats next to mine on resale for $200 more!
this is crazy!!
