Concert Ticket Prices Plummet Across Major US, Canadian Events

The summer concert season in 2025 has seen high demand and fluctuating ticket prices for major acts including Coldplay, Kesha, Kendrick Lamar, and My Chemical Romance. Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour is nearing its final U.S. stops, with tickets now available on resale platforms at prices dropping below $260, making them more affordable than earlier in the season. However, fans attending concerts in Toronto have expressed frustration as ticket prices for shows such as Kesha's and Kendrick Lamar's have plummeted significantly after presale, leaving early buyers feeling they overpaid. Meanwhile, My Chemical Romance's highly anticipated return to Malaysia in 2026 sparked ticketing chaos due to overwhelmed sales platforms, resulting in rapid sellouts and scalpers reselling tickets at double the original price. Fans in Malaysia voiced strong dissatisfaction over technical issues, ticket shortages, and delayed delivery of purchased tickets. Industry experts note that some ambitious tours are struggling to fill seats, contributing to the dynamic and sometimes volatile ticket pricing seen this season.
