Ticket prices are obscene and I hope Swift isn't gouging her fans. The last concert I went to pre pandemic, cost me $70 a piece, now those same tickets are easily triple that price. Who can afford this anymore?

Narrator: she is

She totally is, ticketing agencies' take is the service and delivery fee, base price is still driven by the artist/their management.
