Pop Fandom Has Never Been More Expensive

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Aug 28, 2023

As many know from going to major tours this summer, the price of pop fandom has gotten out of control. Some tickets for artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are being sold for thousands of dollars, and many can't even get tickets to see their favorite artists. A recent Pitchfork series broke down the reasons for the high costs, the secondary ticket market, and what it means for the music industry called "The Price of Pop Fandom." Marc Hogan, senior staff writer, and Jill Mapes, features editor, join us to discuss the touring madness and take your calls.

This segment is guest hosted by Brigid Bergin.
