Lana Del Rey fans have criticized the “disgusting” ticket prices on Ticketmaster, as pre-sales go live for her recently announced UK tour (pictured performing in Paris in August).
While fans were initially excited by the news, they were shocked by the cost of tickets after Ticketmaster revealed they will start at £80 and go up to £400.
“While I would love to see Lana Del Rey live, these are not prices I’m willing to pay and even more so, they’re not prices I’m willing to ask my friends who are casual fans to pay.” Considering this is a stadium, £80 as a starting point is beyond ridiculous’;
‘Concert ticket prices have definitely skyrocketed lately, and it’s no surprise that fans are frustrated. Paying £100 for nosebleeds or £116 for tickets with restricted views is a tall order even for an artist as iconic as Lana Del Rey…’;
‘If the prices I see in the posts here about the Lana Del Rey pre-sale @TicketmasterUK are correct (£170 for standard tickets) then it’s disgusting.
‘Major label artists and ticketing companies are vultures who prey on fans. Respectfully, bow madam;
‘Oh Ticketmaster and Lana Del Rey are shameless with those prices’; “I don’t particularly care for Lana Del Rey, but the ticket prices are ridiculous”;
‘Lana Del Rey, are you laughing at the ticket prices, ma’am?’
It is unclear if Lana has chosen to use dynamic ticket pricing.
Ticketmaster bosses were criticized again for profiting from the controversial ticketing system when Oasis tickets went on sale earlier this year.
Dynamic pricing causes companies to ask a price for a product that is equal to the value the consumer attributes to it, so their willingness to pay more increases the value.
In this way, companies can calculate how many consumers are willing to pay for the product at each price.
Fans lashed out on Twitter, calling the prices “vile” and admitting they weren’t willing to pay such high amounts.
Music artists from Ed Sheeran to Taylor Swift and The Cure to Tom Grennan have refused to use dynamic pricing on tickets, but it’s unclear if Lana has done the same.
Artists including Pearl Jam, singer-songwriter Neil Young and The Cure’s Robert Smith have criticized the system, with Smith telling fans he was “disgusted” by Ticketmaster’s fees and calling dynamic pricing a “greedy scam” .
MailOnline has contacted Lana’s representatives for comment.

The Cinnamon Girl singer is known for her depressing lyrics, and while sonically the album won’t be a “bogue lana delheavy departure” from her Americana sound, she has teased that the lyrics aren’t all that dark.
She recently said Fashion: ‘All my albums are somewhat rooted in American music, unless it’s an album like ‘Honeymoon’ that has a jazzy feel to it, so I don’t think it’s a big change.
“If anything, it will be a little lighter lyrically and more direct in a classic country, Americana or Southern Gothic production, which again, many of my songs already are.”
Lana has worked with her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and country music creator Luke Laird on the new songs.
Speaking at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles earlier this year, he joked: “If you don’t already know from our award winners and our artists, the music business is going country.” We’re going to the field. It’s happening.
“That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, for the last four years.”
In an Instagram video, she said: “Jack (Antonoff) is in town, I’m going to see him work on some little songs.” “I’ve had a really lovely week with (songwriter and producer) Luke Laird.”
