AC/DC Faces Fan Fury Over Sky-High Ticket Prices, ‘What a Rip Off!’

AC/DC is drawing criticism from fans over the high ticket prices for their upcoming South American concerts. Live Nation Brazil recently announced that the band has added a third and final São Paulo date to the 2026 Power Up Tour, scheduled for March 4th at MorumBIS Stadium, with The Pretty Reckless joining as special guests.

Many fans have voiced dissatisfaction with the ticket prices, which range from $85 to $320 (R$425 to R$1,590) on Ticketmaster Brazil. Numerous concertgoers have taken to social media to express concerns about the cost. One AC/DC fan condemned the pricing, saying: “What madness is this for the AC/DC show? Seriously, these absurd prices are out of the question. Even for an AC/DC show, this has gone beyond all limits. It’s been way over the top for a long time!”

Another fan highlighted problems with both the seating layout and price structure, stating: “They’re charging premium prices for the general admission area. They should have split the seating vertically or charged less for those watching from the back, not including fees. What a rip-off.”

The uproar underscores persistent worries about concert ticket pricing—especially in South America, where economic conditions make such costs particularly difficult for fans to manage.

Brazil’s backlash reflects a broader regional frustration. As noted by Baires Secreta, prices have skyrocketed to the point where fans jokingly suggest they might need to “ask the IMF for a loan” just to attend. This sentiment mirrors genuine financial strain in countries dealing with weaker currencies and rising living expenses.

In Argentina and Chile, the issue is even more pronounced. Live for Live Music reported that front-row seats in Argentina cost nearly 40% of an average monthly salary, placing them out of reach for many. Social media and fan forums across the region have since filled with hundreds of complaints.

Beyond the pricing, Alternative Nation has documented recurring technical issues during ticket sales, including fans being blocked after repeated attempts and stuck in lengthy virtual queues, intensifying accusations of corporate greed. Many feel that profit is being prioritized over fan access—especially when compared to other major artists like Dua Lipa, who offer similar experiences at far lower costs.

As a result, AC/DC’s 2026 Power Up Tour has become a focal point in the wider debate over ticket affordability, accessibility, and the growing influence of corporate entities in live music. While excitement for the band’s return remains high, the steep prices have left many South American fans feeling excluded and frustrated, raising questions about the long-term viability and fairness of such profit-driven approaches within the industry.
