Zara Larsson defends concert ticket prices amid criticism

Swedish pop star Zara Larsson has responded to criticism regarding high ticket prices for her upcoming concert in Bangkok, Thailand. Following social media comments suggesting that wealthy performers profit excessively while fans struggle with the cost of living, Larsson stated that she is currently making little money from her ‘Midnight Sun Tour’.

Larsson explained that the revenue generated from ticket sales is largely consumed by the extensive expenses required to maintain a large-scale production, including wages, transport, and production costs. She expressed a desire for her shows to be more accessible and promised to investigate ways to address the pricing concerns.

In Thailand, tickets for the November 1 performance are priced between approximately 800 and 1,100 DKK via Ticketmaster Thailand, though resale prices have been reported at significantly higher rates. For context, the average monthly salary in Thailand is approximately 4,400 DKK.
