Zara Larsson said she agrees her tickets are 'very expensive' and she wants to have a say in pricing
The "Lush Life" singer said concerts shouldn't be something fans have to save up for months.
Zara Larsson addressed concerns over the high cost of tickets for her Bangkok show on a TikTok video. The Swedish pop star acknowledged that her Bangkok leg tickets are expensive and shared that fans feel they are too pricey. Larsson stated that concerts should not be something that fans have to save up for months to attend. She expressed her desire to have a say in ticket pricing decisions for her future tours, indicating she wishes to be more involved in the process.
Larsson acknowledged that her concert pricing aligns with the market for international shows in Bangkok, but she still believes they are too expensive. She also mentioned the need for a cheaper entry tier to make concerts more accessible to fans. The Swedish artist emphasized that concerts should not be considered "super exclusive" events that require months of saving. Larsson does not set her own ticket prices but hopes to be more involved in the future.
Her Bangkok show is scheduled to take place on November 1, with ticket prices ranging from 2,800 to 9,000 Thai Baht, translating to $84 to $270. Besides Thailand, Larsson has announced tour dates for Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. Since the start of 2023, Larsson has experienced a resurgence in popularity, with her hits "Lush Life" (2015) and "Ain't My Fault" (2017) climbing the charts again.
She has also benefited from the success of her new songs "Midnight Sun" and "Stateside + Zara Larsson," a collaboration with PinkPantheress.
High concert ticket prices have become more commonplace, particularly following the rise of tours like Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour." The inflated ticket prices are even more pronounced in secondary markets, where resellers capitalize on the demand by marking up the prices of sought-after tickets.
