Sabrina Carpenter fans have slammed the price of her tickets for her Short n’ Sweet 2025 tour as an ‘absolute madness’, after went on sale for hundreds of pounds.
The singer, 25, has gained an even bigger fan base since the release of her hit songs Expresso and Please Please Please – as well as her blossoming relationship with Barry Keoghan, 31.
But her furious fans have declared that she is still ‘new-ish’ and not yet ‘that big of a draw’ to justify the extortionate prices, adding that she is alienating fans that can’t afford them.
Pointing to the already extortionate prices to see artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé at the O2 recently, several argued that in comparison, Sabrina had ‘two hit singles and two other moderate hits.’
Many had already complained after they were booted out of the Ticketmaster queue when the ‘website crashed’ as tens of thousands rushed to secure a seat on Tuesday, saying it was ‘even harder’ than the struggle to get tickets for Taylor’s Eras Tour.

Taking to social media, people mocked one of Sabrina’s most famous lyrics, as they quipped: ‘I’m working late’ to save up to see her, with one saying you ‘literally have to sacrifice a 1/4 of your wage to attend’.
They wrote: ‘waited in the queue for sabrina carpenter tickets only for them to be £234 each… for a show at the o2… let’s be serious please; £240 to sit in the nosebleeds to see Sabrina Carpenter at the o2 – an artist with two hit singles and two other moderate hits. Absolutely APPALLING’.
‘sabrina carpenters ticket prices are absolute madness you have TWO hits; Sabrina carpenter would want to give her head a wobble with the price of tickets for her Dublin show, €97 for standing is scandalous when she’s not even that big of a draw’.
‘People can be disappointed at the price of Sabrina Carpenter tickets, it’s a lot of money that doesn’t mean they’re any less of a fan; SORRY I had every intention of getting Sabrina Carpenter tickets today on o2 priority but the cost is WILD why are they hundreds of pounds????? She’s new ish???!???’
‘Taylor Swift is an icon who has been around for years and put on a 3.5 hour show, and even her ticket prices were too expensive. How on earth does Sabrina Carpenter, who has AT MOST four well known songs, justify charging anywhere near the same price? I like her, but come on.’
‘sorry but why are sabrina carpenter tickets costing £230 for nosebleeds, it’s a crime; Those Sabrina Carpenter tickets are ridiculously price for someone who’s got about 5 songs. Nose bleeds more expensive than Beyoncé’s golden circle tickets. Make it make sense.’
‘Sabrina Carpenter tickets in Dublin being sold for €207-€282 each?? That’s literally more than VIP but it’s exactly the same as the normal tickets? Have people lost their minds? I sincerely hope nobody buys these to let @TicketmasterIre know THIS IS NOT MARKET VALUE’.
‘back in my day concerts were no more than $50 a pop?? $300-600 is NOT normal for a concert y’all are too desensitized to inflation we should not be spending that much to see our faves; £234 for nosebleeds? very f***ing funny’.

‘”I’m working late” because im trying to get sabrina carpenter uk tour tickets and ticketmaster hates me and the price of these tickets are very expensive; fully closed the presale once i saw nosebleeds were £240 paid less for both my eras tour concerts altogether.’
‘The price of Sabrina Carpenter tickets really shook me…. There was a time when going to concerts was accessible for everyone, now you literally have to sacrifice a 1/4 of your wage to attend… they really are a luxury… and that’s to sit very nearly on the roof!!’
Speaking to MailOnline, fan Kate Pomeroy said her mother had bought six tickets at ‘inflated greedy prices’ and declared that fans’ passion to see Sabrina was causing ‘awful exploitation’.
She said: ‘Each retailing at £450 for section 12 by the stage. Standing tickets range from £200-300. The prices on re sale are creeping to Taylor Swift levels fast. This is bank breaking for families.’
While Alice Burns had promised her daughter to get her tickets to see Sabrina, but was shocked by the price.
She said: [My daughter] had a scan for a brain tumour she has at 9 am and was eager to join the queue to buy tickets as soon as she could after her scan.
‘She managed to get some tickets after waiting about 50 minutes, they cost £192 each! They are in the circle but further back than she would have hoped for as that was as high pricewise as I could go!’
It follows criticism from fans that ‘getting tickets is harder’ than Taylor’s tour, which was subject to a huge ticketing crisis.
