Furious Green Day fans have taken to social media to slam Ticketmaster’s pricing for their upcoming Australian tour, which has seen ticket prices rise to over $500.
Last week, the American rock band announced they will bring their Saviors stadium tour Down Under in March 2025 after promising to return to the country a year ago.
However, fans are not happy with Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model, which sees the costs of tickets rise in accordance with consumer demand.
It was recently reported that tickets to see the punk rockers in concert will cost over $500 a person, as demand to see the rock trio skyrockets across the country.
The cheapest tickets costs just over $200, while getting a seated spot at the venue is currently priced at over $500.
Unhappy Australian fans took to social media on Tuesday to voice their frustration.
‘Shameful and elitist,’ one person sniped, while a second added: ‘dynamic pricing is outrageous.’
‘The government needs to make this stop,’ a third person chipped in.
