£63 fee on a £154 resale ticket is insane when the fees would have already been paid?
How are y'all affording to go to concerts?

If anyone ends up with any cheaper floor tickets for tonight, let me know. 😭

  3. Viagogo is proper scam. The best authorised reseller in the UK is Twickets. Got many tickets, day of a gig, just by refreshing the page a few times. (From someone who goes to gigs almost every week)

  4. Viagogo is feeling except for the fees, the scam isn’t viagogo but some of the international sellers

    Ticket prices will likely fall today, and as each falls so does the fee

  5. How do we afford them? We buy them from official vendors the moment they go on sale.

    Viagogo and Stubhub are scalper sites. Never give these cunts your money, all you do is encourage them to continue scalping.

  6. I got whacked with a £125 ticket fee for an Oasis ticket priced at £280

  7. I afford to go to concerts by being in to weird independent musicians who play smaller venues on like a Monday or Tuesday night and it’s about £15 a ticket. I try to buy merch from them as often as possible as well because Spotify sure ain’t paying them much. Coldplay are one of the biggest bands in the world and the ticket prices for big acts nowadays are stupid. I saw Michael Jackson Wembley at Stadium in 1988 and my ticket cost £17.50 – adjusted for inflation and that is still under £60 in 2025 money. Coldplay are a big act but nobody is at the level MJ was in 1988.

  8. Echo the other comments not to go through Viagogo/Stubhub, I know people who’ve been scammed through there! Set a notification alert on Twickets, something’s bound to come up because it’s such a big venue 🙂 also idk if ticketmaster has resale on for this event but that’s also worth checking.

    That way you don’t support predatory resale sites that allows bots, and hopefully get a ticket at face value too.

  9. Viagogo is not a a scam itself – it’s a platform, where there _are_ occasionally scammers, much like any other platform. I’ve bought loads of tickets through viagogo. I have no idea why everyone insists it’s a scam.

  10. Just to echo what everyone else is saying, Viagogo scammed a colleague of mine last week with Coldplay tickets. She had bought three for her and her two daughters. When they got there the tickets came up as already scanned and entered the arena. Apparently hundreds of people outside yelling at staff with the same issue. She said she was told a whole team had been set up for scam tickets for Coldplay as do many people were having issues 🙁

  11. Cold play would have to pay me to watch them .
    That price is crazy high.
    If it’s what you like go for it but not at that price

  14. Hello I am charging you fees for this post plz send me a PlayStation voucher

  15. There’s no point in buying an overpriced ticket now, Coldplay concerts are frequent and you can just wait for the next tour where they will play 10 shows at Wembley, and get tickets when they’re on normal sale

  20. £76 for nothing?? I’d expect the actual tickets to cost that not some bullshit fees

  21. Don’t look at theatre tickets then. That’s a fairly average price.

    I looked up Lion King tickets and they’re £400 each for the better seats. That’ll easily be a grand for a few hours when you’ve included food and travel.

    Who can afford these sorts of evenings?!!

  22. £63 for 0.01s of a machine’s time. “Fulfilment” fees my ass
