While Taylor Swift fans are still financially (and emotionally) recovering from the great Ticketmaster fiasco, Maggie Rogers fans can rest assured that they won’t be dealing with overwhelming Ticketmaster fees for her upcoming Summer of ’23 tour.
Rogers announced that tickets for her summer tour would only be available in person at local box offices. Rogers said she is going old school in an effort to cut down on fees and eliminate pesky ticket-buying bots.
Rogers posted to Instagram about her decision, saying, “There’s a lot of conversation right now about combatting bots and making sure tickets get directly into the hands of fans, and at a reasonable price. Ticketing fees have never been higher and a lot of people, me included, are justifiably frustrated and concerned. I’ve been thinking about this over the last few months and wanted to provide you with another option. So this time, in an effort to eliminate bots and lower fees – we’re going analog. Come buy a ticket like its 1965.”
Rogers explained that each venue will be slightly different, but essentially “tomorrow, for one day only, we’re running an in person pre-sale where you can go directly to your local box office to buy a ticket.”
“There’s a two ticket per person limit, but you can choose any ticket you want – all of the prices and tiers will be available, along with exclusive merch and a special playlist I cooked up just for box office day,” she wrote.
