Gracie Abrams tickets are crashing back down to earth weeks before the singer — and daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams — heads out on her six-month arena tour of the U.S. and Europe.
Few primary tickets remain for her Dec. 2 and 3 tour openers at Ball Arena in Denver, but resale tickets abound across the tour, with a get-in-the-door price of just $42 to see the 27-year-old perform live. That's a steep fall from a get-in-the-door price of $331 in May, when the tour was first announced, according to TicketData.
Technically, Abrams' tickets are priced deeply underwater: Fans can get a 100-section ticket for the Denver show on resale sites for about $100 less than they would pay on Ticketmaster, the primary seller. But that won't make much of a difference to Abrams, who has mostly sold out the Denver date, save for a few dozen unsold A-list tickets.
Ticket brokers will bear the brunt of this supply-demand mismatch, having bought up tickets — and even agreed to hand over biometric data to Ticketmaster — only to watch prices collapse days after the onsale.
Twitter so far hasn't been kind about the crash in Abrams' prices, with users noting that fans who waited for prices to drop came out ahead.
“Gracie Abrams queue had over 100,000 people,” wrote influential Twitter account @Ticket_Help2022, noting Abrams used Ticketmaster tech that required fans to identify themselves to get tickets.
“Months later and people who did not wait waste their time in queue or even got shut out of tickets and did not submit their bio-metric data are getting amazing deals well well below face value while discords who told all their paying members to buy are getting destroyed.”
The price drop appears to extend across the entire tour, according to data site TicketVision, which said on Twitter that “every upcoming show has seen significant declines in secondary market prices over the past 30 days, with some falling more than 50%.”
Worst off, surprisingly, is her Nashville show, with “get-in prices down 54% over the past 30 days and 90% since the week of the public onsale.”
