Sabrina Carpenter fans are outraged by the exorbitant ticket prices for her forthcoming arena shows in the UK, with some expressing disappointment and disbelief at the high costs on social media.

Sabrina Carpenter fans have called out the US pop star after discovering the soaring cost of tickets for her forthcoming arena shows.

Pre-sale tickets to the singer’s Short n’ Sweet Tour became available on 23 July, with punters angrily reporting Ticketmaster crashes hindering their access to the sale. Meanwhile, hopefuls logging on for the general sale on Friday (26 July) were thrust into a digital queue of over 50,000 people.

The “Espresso” singer will be performing a string of dates in the UK and Ireland next year, including two nights at the O2 Arena in London, one night in Birmingham, one night in Glasgow, two nights in Manchester and two nights in Dublin.

As tickets went on sale, outrage quickly emerged on social media at ticket prices that had almost quadrupled since the last time Carpenter toured the UK in 2023.

“Tried again for Sabrina tickets,” one person who had been unsuccessful in the presale wrote on X/Twitter on Friday morning. “Not a single ticket in the whole place for less than £250. This has really put me off her if I’m honest,” they added.

“It’s incredibly greedy and anyone who pays those prices is an absolute mug.”

Meanwhile, another fan who had attended Carpenter’s Emails I Can’t Send Tour in 2023 expressed shock at the inflated ticket prices, adding: “Love Sabrina but £94.20 for a standing ticket when I paid £24.50 for a standing ticket last year..

A third disgruntled fan said: “£240 for Sabrina Carpenter nosebleeds is insane lol. She’s great but she’s had two hit singles. I paid about half that for Taylor Swift nosebleeds and felt it was still a bit too much but at least that’s a three hour show with 18 years of smash hits to cover.”

Elsewhere, another person called the cost “absolutely appalling” while others called the ticket price a “crime” and noted Carpenter’s “nosebleed” seats were more expensive than golden circle access for Beyoncé’s 2023 Renaissance World Tour at the same venue.
