McCandless Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I wish this album was on Spotify. I have no access to any dodgy downloading and I want to listen to it properly before potentially buying it on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I have accepted that I will not be going to the show here in Miami. Didn't get tix as can't afford them now. Too many other more important bills and shit to deal with right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Just say it. I got two tickets for East Rutherford, NJ and two tickets for Philadelphia, PA. Grand total: $712 slamster17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beta114 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Y'all should be absolutely embarrassed that you spent that much money on 2 hours for some time in 2015. I love TS as much as the next guy, trust me, I do --- but you could feed a needy family for the entire month of December for those prices. She's insane for having ticket prices that high but people are just as bad for buying them. $400 for a ticket? That covers my whole concert expenses for a year. Sheesh. I would be totally disrespecting myself if I dropped that. I'll take my $15 vinyl and watch her on TV or something. Ready for this tour to be over! But when all is said and done, she rocks and the album is gold. Just bitching cuz I'm poor.

I'd totally love to go see T-Swizzle, but for $400 I'd much rather have a PS4. tvham, beta114 and captainaldous 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsuodaironman Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I am not sure that I would even see Taylor Swift for free and you guys are talking about spending hundreds of dollars for a ticket. I don't get it. ntslash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgipants Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I winded up doing VIP Package #5 for Philly.. couldn't pull anything even remotely decent through the TS or AMEX presales. Managed to get AMEX presale for Miami yesterday (which were crap), for shits and giggles I tried Tampa's normal sale today and landed floor seats like 7 rows back. I'm officially convinced that AMEX got nothing but crap seats. Oh well, hopefully I'll make my money back on StubHub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamster17 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Got floor tickets for Philly through the Amex "preferred seating" presale...I'd rather spend $156 for a floor ticket than $156 for a club box seat or 100 level seat...

ZeroFourNine Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Late to the party. Just finished my first run through of the whole album. It's catchy in an almost annoying way. I will say, being the sad old bastard that I am, I really love a lot of the 80's throwback vibe of the music of the last couple of years.

biodigitaljazz Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 What's really sad is that while we're broke compared to these prices, enough people will still buy and pack the auditorium enough that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Second shows added for both East Rutherford, NJ and Philadelphia. I wonder if there are going to be a lot of scalpers stuck taking a loss on this. With ticket prices at what they are, it has to keep a pretty large amount of her fanbase from being able to purchase tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 i LOVE Billy Bragg, and I like T-Swizz, but I think what Billy had to say is pretty goddamn relevant and true. "What a shame that Taylor Swift’s principled stand against those who would give her music away for free has turned out to be nothing more than a corporate power play. On pulling her music from Spotify recently, she made a big issue of the fact that the majority of the streaming service’s users listen to her tracks for nothing rather than signing up to the subscription service. “I don’t agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free” she said in a statement to Yahoo last week. These worthy sentiments have been somewhat undermined by Swift making her new album and back catalogue available on Google’s new Music Key streaming service…..which also offers listeners a free service alongside a premium subscription tier. Given that this year is the first to fail to produce a new million selling album, I can understand Taylor Swift wanting to maximise her opportunities with the new record – and it worked: she shifted 1.28m copies of 1989 in the first week of sale. But she should just be honest with her fans and say “sorry, but Sergey Brin gave me a huge amount of money to be the headline name on the marquee for the launch of You Tube Music Key and so I’ve sold my soul to Google”. If Ms Swift was truly concerned about perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free, she should be removing her material from You Tube, not cosying up to it. The de facto biggest streaming service in the world, with all the content available free, You Tube is the greatest threat to any commercially based streaming service. You might ask yourself why Google are setting up a commercial streaming service that will ultimately have to compete with their own You Tube behemoth? My hunch is that they are following a ‘Starbucks strategy’: it doesn’t matter if your own coffee shops on every corner are competing with one another, so long as they ultimately put all of your rivals out of business. Google are going after Spotify and Taylor Swift has just chosen sides. That’s her prerogative as a savvy businesswoman – but please don’t try to sell this corporate power play to us as some sort of altruistic gesture in solidarity with struggling music makers."
