Rihanna is currently taking fans on a merry-go-round with the Samsung sponsored roll-out of her new album ‘ANTI.’
Yet, Team Fenty may have to pick up the pace pronto if they don’t want the slow-go to affect the LP’s accompanying tour.
Find out why below…
Per new box office analytics, the arguable lack of buzz surrounding the star’s new music could be causing issues for the trek – which kicks off in the US in February and will feature special guests Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and Big Sean.
Peep this:
After only 24 hours since Rihanna tickets officially went on sale, tickets are already averaging $190 on the secondary market. Prior to the general on-sale, resale tickets were averaging $227, marking a 16% decrease.
The eight-time Grammy winner is on track to play her most expensive show on March 27 at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where tickets are averaging $270, with the cheapest ticket available for $68. The second priciest stop is set to be her Los Angeles performance on May 3 at The Forum, where resale tickets are averaging $244, with the cheapest ticket available for $72. Although her cheapest show isn’t inexpensive by any means, so far her April 27 EnergySolutions Arena performance in Salt Lake City is the most affordable stop, where tickets on the resale market are averaging $137, with a get-in of just $37, according to TicketNetwork. {Source}
The Navy needn’t fret (yet), as it’s by no means doom and gloom. Saying that, tickets on the resale market traditionally hike up once on-sale rather than down. In this case, it may indicate that resellers anticipated more demand than there actually is.
Still, with new music nigh and the holidays upon us, it may become easier to shift tickets in the weeks to come. Because, while we’ll never see the appeal in attending a show comprised of lazy whines and lazier vocals, there clearly are those who do.
KIIIIIII!!!! ??????
I read this earlier and was going to post a link in the Adele post earlier lol!!!
Didn’t people say this about the Caters world tour last year? But, that tour went on to be a sell out success. Rihanna will be fine.
Yeah, but that was because the media were having a feild day with them at dat time. But with the ANTI-CIPATION of her new album and the Nazi being thirst as f***,you ‘d think it was going to sell out really fast. #ANTIRIHLEASEDATE #ANTIPURCHASEDTICKETS!!!!! LMAO
Yeah but it wasn’t backed by any evidence. For Rihannas case you can see how ticket prices are getting lower though
Where is the damn album tho!? ?
damn you stupid @sam. could be the opposite. if the demand is high you raise the price. that’s how you make more money. don’tcha think? thought about that? 😉
.
we’ll see
Kii you should change your name to “Not knowing the business” because your comment was stupid lol! They clearly stated the secondary market had above market value tickets. But then they slightly dropped lol!
I think a lot of people are waiting for the album to drop. I’m sure once it drops she’ll be fine
The album doesn’t have anything to do with it. The average person can’t afford at 500 ticket, meanwhile the other seats a reserved for American Express card users… Most “standard” seats are gone.
Wrong! When i checked the tickets during the presale for Tidal. The general admission tickets ranged from $30.50 to $151.00 and VIP tickets or front row were $599.00. I think people are waiting on the album in hopes of her performing new material.
PS the tickets are open to the general public now.
I also agree about the presale tickets. A HUGE amount are always held for these exclusive presales. I read this article that talked about Beyonce and Justin Biebers presales. The article was about how it was extremely difficult for them to get tickets because Live Nation or Ticket Master don’t give the general public an estimate of how many tickets are actually available to the public. Ticket scalpers get ahold of the presale tickets and charge like double or more for them on the secondary market. But non the less Rihanna has always struggled with presale tickets. Its nothing new. Ticket sales will pick up when the Album drops or ticket sales plummet further kiii!!
On a side note, i just listened to Troye Sivan’s album ‘Blue Neighborhood”. I can honestly say it’s one of the top 3 best albums of the year. That album is amazing, and i hope it sells like crazy. I was blown away by him. Not to be a hater, i actually even think it’s a WAY better album than “25”.
You knowww Troye yassss that s*** is dopeee
Yeah he is. I can’t stress the excellence if the album enough. That shitt was indeed Dope.
I was wondering why none of these sites talk about him, the album is an excellent body of work. Compared to that, “25” sounds like a dated unoriginal piece of work.
Troye is AWESOME. I will indeed be purchasing when his album drops
He has a called “Ease” that i love so much. I listened to that like 5 times before going to the next song.
Where’s that Navy Stan that said Anti was selling out with high ticket prices ????? like I said the navy stay forging receipts!
@King Stephy On The Run tour was never struggling tho the media was doing them dirty but Live Nation clockedt them
Don’t worry! EVERY SINGLE STADIUM & ARENA will be SOLD OUT! Mark my words and play with her reign if you want to. Just wait until that album drops. We’re gonna see why she’s still the digital queen. Future ain’t the only one that can “F*ck Up Some Commas” around these neck of the woods.
Rih run her course as a singer. Surprised she lasted this long. Anyways, farewell sis thankfully u have fashion to fall back on
“Farewell” is the jam, though, while you playing.
Can’t wait to see the DIGITAL POP QUEEN do her infamous “Caribbean Whine” choreography towards the end of “What’s My Name?” like always. I’d buy a ticket just to see that part alone. Plus, those outfits, especially those thigh-high custom made boots and see through shirt, made the “Diamonds World Tour”, that much better. I support ALL my beautiful black popstars.
Hmmm by the way you were talking I thought you already had tickets thoo..
I do. I purchased mine during the pre-sale yesterday. I’ve had my eye out on the Phillips Arena show too, but I’m wondering if I should go because I’m sure I won’t get a good seat.
Lool ohh that’s great that you REALLY do support her. They’re certain navy members who love to shade and use her stats yet I haven’t seen one of them say “I got my tickets” but that’s none of my business. You should go to both shows if that what you really want to take it all in while you have the chance YOLO
Yeah, I wanna go to both, but ATL Rih fans go CRAZY for her tickets just like the Bey ones too. I wouldn’t want to be in nosebleeds, especially when the stage appears to not have a catwalk for any of the arena dates. I’m forced to be up close, which I want, but the furthest I’m going is 100-level and that’s it.
Kii KING BEY sold out without any new music. Rihanna is so done!!!!
^^who hasn’t sold out after playing the Superbowl? Even Kate Hudson sold out after playing the Superbowl
The EXCUSES. This is proof that Rihanna ain’t s*** without a generic hit single????
You still haven’t answered my question, who hasn’t sold out after playing the Superbowl?
Katy even added some international legs instead of a few shows after the Superbowl. She was serious about getting over that $200,000,000 hump this go around.
EXCUSES!!!!!!
Anyway I’m sure she’ll sell out like she did Diamonds. Can’t wait to see her in April
So what city are you in LB?
1.Seattle
2. Salt lake city
3. Las Vegas
4. Quebec
5. Montreal
6. Chicago
7. Boston
8. Baltimore
9. Philadephia
10. Newark
Check the 21st of April
Insane
That rihanna “reign” has been demolished!!! This chick is only as hot as her next hit! The navy has been tricked into believing she can compete with Beyonce!!??
I mean the world knows that, Love.
How is NYC treating you Babe?
NYC is great boo. Best move I’ve ever made. I’ll be heading back to Chicago to be with my family for the holidays tho. How have u been?
@Troll_Hive girl lets go to Vogue Nights at escuelitas honey, she be cute sometimes to ki at the and with, the girls.
That’s Monday nights right? Lol I’ve been to Esco’s on a Saturday before. It was cute
I’ve been good just working keeping busy . Planning this wedding for the spring!!!!!
Okay, I was originally able to tolerate that little green as, but this McDonald’s add is stretching the limit. Why is this site bombarded with so much useless ads just to pay bills? I can’t! It seriously ruins every user’s experience on here.
omg mee too i hate them its so many
Finally back…
Anyway still no album..
Good! Less chance of people getting infected with ear cancer.
Honestly, i Wont buy anything before i have the album. Rihanna lives off of her songs and if the album Will Be full of fourfiveseconds i Will Not attend the tour. So, b****, drop the f****** Album so that i Can decide whether i want to See you or Not
Don’t you worry Rih, I’m getting my ticket! I first need have to wait the next pay period, because I have a couple of student loan bills to pay first, but Rih I GOT YOU! I’ll see you in Miami on March 15
Honestly, I hope the tour set is majority of new songs. I would love to see what she would do with the concept with the new material and just keep the classics like Diamonds, We Found Love, and Unfaithful.
If she performs that damn rock version of “We Found Love” again , then I’ll purposely wait until she walks off the stage to my section and snatch the microphone from her and “pelt” her with it. She better not play with me. EVERYONE needs that beat to drop after the chorus.
Screams
I’m telling the absolute truth, though. I’ve seen several stans attending a show talk about it all over Twitter. Somebody better slide in her dms and tell her to make sure that band doesn’t play no games with that iconic arrangement from the previous tour.
^^Yassss can’t wait to hear her sing unfaithful, she killed it at ROC in Rio.
,
I also cannot wait for No love allowed and Umbrella.
,
Plus her new material
I mean lets be real, a Rihanna tour is summed up by:
–
Great fashion choices
–
Flat/sharp notes
–
Basic/next to no runs or chord changes
–
Every song sang exactly as the studio vocal w/an enormous lazy struggle
–
Dodging of all “high” or difficult parts or lip synching
–
Yodeling
–
Stiff Caribbean knock off dances from a real Caribbean girl (sad)
–
A bunch of twinkly bottoms in the audience screaming “slaaaaaaaay Riri”
–
No cinematography cameras cause no FBF will be made to rewatch a b****** high off horse tranquilizer attempt to perform.
–
GOTTA LOVE A RIRI SHOW HUH?
That choreography is no joke during the breakdown of “What’s My Name?”. You better buy a ticket to witness that magic. I kid you not! I’ve seen it twice already and I’m still hypnotized.
If by “magic” you mean “rivaling the choreography of Mariah Carey’s ” then ok.. But girl please Rihanna is a BELOW AVERAGE dancer. Ever since she was rolling around in the sand talmbout “if it’s lovin that u want you should me your girl” – she has been stiff as a board. You’re hypnotized easily honey
You CLEARLY have never seen the Caribbean Queen perform LIVE. Have you seen her whine in person right in front of you? If you don’t believe me, just buy a ticket and prepare yourself to be amazed. I wasn’t even ready…and I got sidetracked. She had me lurking over YouTube for WEEKS just watching videos of her perform that song from the “Loud” and “Diamonds” tour.
Girl s*** up, there are white girls who can whine and dance better than her. She’s at the bottom of the list
Now, don’t get me wrong. Bey is a phenomenal dancer, but let’s not act like Rih can’t move her hips. She’s is from the Caribbean and that’s what she’s expected to know how to do. Y’all better stop sleeping on her dancing and revisit that “Cockiness” performance from the Hackney Festival if y’all REALLY want to see her put in some real choreography. I promise you’ll be impressed. She’s a perfectionist just like Bey if you don’t believe me.
How would you know? Rihanna barely even makes an attempt to do any real choreo….
I’m not buying anything Til I hear new music..
*kanye shrug*
I recall posting this in a comment a few days ago. This is second handed market, they auto charge 3 times the price for a ticket anyway. I’m still debating Chicago or Atlanta. Both 8 hours away.
I thought you lived in Chicago
God no, lol. I wouldn’t be alive.
Oh no !!!!why do you say?
LmaOoooo smh. Deja Vu! Are we going to have a repeat of of 2010/11 again? Mmmmm only time will tell. I wish her the best in selling some tickets tho.

Do the hive even claim diabetes unbothered?
Diabetes Unbothered is one of the oldest members of the Hive , she needs no one to claim her

.
go look for your absent father in the old dusty mines of Johannesburg amd worry not aboit the Hive you gravatarless basic b*****!
2011?
Yassy but you one ancient sob
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST LET UP #FLOP
You’re delusional, considering who you stan Im not surprised you know about concert tickets though. These tickets are resales on the SECONDARY market, meaning the shows and original tickets are sold out but vendures and people are flipping tickets which means they bought them and now reselling them for 2-3x the original price to make money.
Sis you are completely in denial kii
The only one in denial is you, thinking and hoping for Rihanna to fail but her coming out on top everytime.
LMFAO… HOW THE F U CK CAREER EBDER KNOW I WAS SH!t i NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. IVE JUST BEEN CLOCKED and READ FOR LIFE. LOL now i know what its like to be a rih stan.
SH!T’s gravatar popped up your comment one day then I knew it was you
Lmao all this year worth of ANTIcipation & not one show is sold out with avg $50 per ticket… didnt CERROR charge more??? @ the DEAD_Navy she looks disgusting on that TOUR COVER POSTER btw maybe thats why tickets are not selling
How much will the ANTI ANTICIPATION tour gross??? A) less than loud tour B) more than loud tour C) less than mrs carter D) morehan mrs carter F) Entire tour canceled due to *cough* dehydration/exaustion *cough* poor tixkets sells. P.s the hive doesnt need to claim DIABETES UNBOTHERED Because DIABETES UNBOTHERED remains UNBOTHERED!!!!!
&yes i am @sh!t… i know it was my AVI that gave it away cuz my writing style is completly diffrent from when i use to post as sh!t back in the day. I cant belive career ender used to know i was a flip flopper also… i thot bey faked her pregnancy so i took a hive vacation lol now im back
Lol I remember you having a breakdown over it back then. then you disappeared after that
Is this suppose to be shade?
–
Most shows sold out within minutes (why didn’t you make an article on that).. These are just resale tickets. Most people aren’t going to pay $200 for $60 seat tickets, hell I saw some resale tickets going for $2000, not even the highest VIP Package was that much. Speaking of VIP Packages you couldn’t if also made a post about how they sold out of the pre-sale which the highest were $500+
Rihanna iz so LOCAL. Shes only touring in EUROPE & NORTH AMERICA… what about overseas places like South America brazil afroca indonesia japan and areas like SUCH AS???????
She sold out a stadium of 70k in Rio in 3 hours, she’s far from Local honey. Not to mention therer are multiple countries within Europe. She’ll be adding SA and other dates soon, it’s called “World Tour” for a reason dumbass.
Brazil IS in South America, and Indonesia and Japan are in Asia if you were smart you would of just said those two continents than naming individual countries within them.
Her tour has been planned for awhile. She was originally supposed to be touring Spring/Summer with Kanye. They were supposed to headline Lollapolooza and several huge festivals in Europe as well. Ideally, they had an entire stadium tour planned throughout the world including South America. That’s why she did those 2 random dates (including Rock In Rio) there. They were already planned joint with Kanye, but her team was confident she could still sell that market -especially with one being a festival. Her team rushed out “BBHMM” and “AO” in hopes she could have 2 big singles out at the same time to possibly salvage the touring schedule that was worked out. But when both songs got no traction from Pop, they cancelled the tour entirely.
Kanye even had an entire set already designed and damn near in pre-production. Rihanna was just going to use it for herself. Apparently, they ended up having to pay a pretty heft amount behind this tour cancellation, because certain contracts were breached and a lot of work was already being done. The people at Roc Nation, Jay included, were really pissed behind Rihanna and Ye both running from the tour once “FourFiveSeconds ” didn’t take off . What ya’ll didn’t know is Bee stepped up to do Made In America (as a favor for Jay) due to all the b******* that was going on with them.
Jay was so mad about the tour going under that he took Rihanna and Kanye both off of the roster and Beyonce stepped up in a big way. This was decided privately about a month after the TIDAL launch once it was confirmed Rihanna wouldn’t at least do the shows alone. Somewhere in all of this there has been some bad blood with Jay & Ye as we saw with Ye deleting all that TIDAL s*** off his Twitter. There was a blow up.
Rihanna’s got her dates out now, but they promised LiveNation the dates would be onsale in October with an album no later than Black Friday, but once Adele came back her team decided to wait. Because the tour was supposed to come out with a single, and they missed their window, they ended up having to pay another upfront cost. The plan was always for Samsung to be her tour sponsor, but this AntiDiary s*** literally just happened within the last month.
There’s a Roc Nation exec/owner that refuses to put any more money onto the project. She’s up there with Jay, and she’s the one that brokered the Samsung deal to cover the red they faced on Rihanna’s recording budget alone. Roc Nation is going to do other things with Samsung, because they couldn’t just broker the $25 million on Rihanna alone. Samsung wouldn’t take it.
She also was shooting an HBO style documentary (not kidding) directed by movie producer Peter Berg which may still be happening??? But they spent money covering all of his production costs as well. I heard that she was always so wasted and many days refused to shoot. He he didn’t have much to work with and shooting stopped. Rihanna did not want to shoot this AntiDiary campaign but had no choice. Roc Nation reached out to theater company Punchdrunk to start production ASAP on AntiDiary and she started shooting it almost as soon as she heard about it.
She’s been pressuring her team to do something big and game changing and this is what they gave her as a last chance. Rihanna, apparently, is not really digging the campaign. The “Tidal exclusive” rumor I also found out was leaked to HITS as a way to gain subscribers. It was all a plan to get people to join so when the toudates dropped, her fanbase was alerady secured. Apparently, the sub count was low, so they just said f*** it and offered 4 months for 1, put a HUGE ad on the app (ya’ll seen it), and started being more aggressive than usual with the E-Mailing.
So, basically, this mess of an era is the reason for Bee having to step in to clean up their mess as a favor for Jay, Kanye & Jay’s falling out, AND this mess of an AntiDiary thing she was pretty much forced into. The money they’ve paid on breaching contracts alone – f*** studio time – has really caused a lot of division at Roc Nation.
Kii Rihanna is FINISHED and your FAT.
This will probably be her most successful tour, just wait. Btw, is she playing in Stockholm?
Yes!! On July 4th at the Tele2 Arena.
Thank you 😉
