“While I would love to see Lana Del Rey live, these are not prices I am willing to pay, and furthermore, these are not prices I want to ask my friends who are regular fans. Considering this is a stadium, £80 as a starting point is beyond ridiculous’;
“Concert ticket prices have skyrocketed lately, and it’s no surprise that fans are frustrated. Paying £100 for nosebleeds or £116 for restricted tickets is a big ask, even for an artist as iconic as Lana Del Rey…’;
‘If the prices I’m seeing from posts here about Lana Del Rey @TicketmasterUK pre-sales are correct (£170 for standard standing tickets) then that’s disgusting.
‘Artists from major labels and ticket companies are vultures preying on fans. With respect, bow down, ma’am;
‘Oh Ticketmaster and Lana Del Rey, you are brutal with those prices’; ‘I Don’t Really Care About Lana Del Rey, But Those Ticket Prices Are Ridiculous’;
‘Lana Del Rey, are you laughing at your ticket prices, madam?!’
It is unclear whether Lana has chosen to use dynamic ticket pricing.
Ticketmaster bosses previously came under fire again for making a profit from the controversial ticketing system when Oasis tickets went on sale earlier this year.
With dynamic pricing, companies charge a price for a product that is equal to the value a consumer places on it, increasing the willingness to pay more for the value.
This way, companies can calculate how much consumers are willing to pay for the product at each price point.

Music artists from Ed Sheeran to Taylor Swift and The Cure to Tom Grennan have refused to use dynamic pricing on tickets, but it’s unclear whether Lana has done the same.

MailOnline has contacted Lana’s representatives for comment.

The Cinnamon Girl singer is known for her depressing lyrics, and while sonically the record won’t be a “bogue lana delheavy departure” from her Americana sound, she’s teased that the lyrics aren’t quite as dark.
She told me recently Fashion: “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana, unless it’s an album like ‘Honeymoon’ which has a jazz flair, so I don’t think it’ll be a heavy departure.
“If anything, it will be a little lighter lyrically, and edgier in a classic country, American or Southern Gothic production – which so many of my songs are.”
Lana collaborated on the new songs with frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and country music maker Luke Laird.
Speaking at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles earlier this year, she teased, “If you can’t already tell from our award winners and our artists, the music business is going overseas. We’re going into the country. It happens.
“That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi for the past four years.”
In an Instagram video, she spilled, “Jack’s [Antonoff] In town I’m going to see him working on some little songs. I had a very nice week with [songwriter and producer] Luke Laird.”
The prolific star’s last studio album was 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.
Lana recently collaborated with former Migos star Quavo on the song Tough.
