She is offering $20 tickets at random via lottery that are scattered throughout the venues. Very cool idea.

That video from the new single was supposedly shot on the new iPhone. Good song, too.

Re: OLIVIA RODRIGO: Guts - September 8, 2023
I tried to get tix trhough both the amex presale and the regular presale.
Amex: the cheapest seats simply didn't exist, the least expensive available was $100 (with fees). Was just more than I could justify.
Regular: got waitlisted
For those who like to shit on Taylor Swift and somehow think she deserves blame for the prices her tickets were selling for (on the secondary market), she had thousands and thousands of tickets available for every show that after fees were only $65. Rodrigo's cheapest advertised price was probably going to be more, and those seats seemed non-existent to me, as nosebleed seats were still $100.

Re: Swift comparison... $100+fees in a 20k arena doesn't really equate to $65 in a stadium with 70k+ capacity to me.

I also had no chance to even buy those TSwift tickets at that price if I wanted to.
I wanted tickets,and I probably would have paid that, but I don't really want to sit a mile away from the stage and watch on TV either.

You seem to be suggesting that stadium concerts are cheaper, but that's not generally what I have seen. But I will admit I haven't been going to either in a long time (having a tween kiddo is making me go now), so maybe they are these days? And a nosebleed seat in an arena is still super far away and "requires" a big screen to see the action.

and how does a crazy popular artist solve the "I don't really want to sit a mile away from the stage and watch on TV either" problem? You don't want to see shows in stadiums unless you can be super close, and what should be done about that? Even if every ticket in the stadium was $50, you still wouldn't have gotten tickets, they still would be selling for thousands on the secondary market, and you'd still be in this forum finding a reason to complain.

that's a ticketmaster problem and a "too many fans" problem, that doesn't mean Taylor shouldn't get credit for having thousands and thousands of more affordable tickets available for every show.

Honestly though, getting tickets to a show I really wanted to attend at face value was never a problem until the last 5-10 years or so.

She looks great in that video but she has to ditch those ugly shoes or boots.
Not sexy at all.

I picked up Guts on my recent trip to Tokyo last month. This is the Japanese special edition CD from Tower Records. I picked this up on sale for $22. It’s a really good and mature album. I’ve become a big fan.

Doubt we’ll be able to go but I signed up just in case. My wife likes her. I don’t mind her either but am more of a fan by association. Just bought my wife this album on vinyl recently for her birthday.

Thanks for the heads up, Dex14. My daughter will be insanely stoked if we "win." (and I'll be pretty happy too) My girlfriend doesn't like Olivia Rodrigo so it won't be a problem that you can only buy 2 tickets, lol.

I registered for the August Inglewood, CA shows. That’s literally next door to where I work at, so I can at least get free parking.
But, I’m not counting on winning. We’ll see. I’m only a recent fan of hers.

The best of the new songs from GUTS (spilled), by far, is so american. Surprised they didn't make that the single.

She is ok but Selena Gomez is the better Latina pop singer with the better voice and more catchier tunes.
