Responding to this, Rennae Stubbs said that the rise in the price is normal and it is just a normal way. She also asked the journalist to ask any Taylor Swift fan about the amount they have to pay just to attend just one concert. Moreover, she discussed the splurge in the prices of the tickets at Wimbledon, citing it is normal for people to experience the same when going to the US Open.
Talk to Taylor Swift fans. This is normal. If u want to go, then u have to buy them early. Secondary sales are always expensive. I mean Wimbledon grounds passes or center court tickets are so expensive if u buy second sales.
