Ariana Grande has officially confirmed that her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour will not use dynamic pricing, a practice that often inflates ticket prices based on demand.
The decision comes as a relief to fans who have raised concerns in recent years about soaring costs for major concert tours.
Dynamic pricing has become a controversial model in the live music industry, with critics arguing that it allows ticket prices to surge far beyond face value. Fans of artists like Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and others have previously expressed frustration after ticketing platforms adjusted prices to reflect high demand, making it harder for average concertgoers to afford seats.
By choosing not to adopt this system, Grande is aiming to ensure greater fairness and accessibility for her fanbase. Industry insiders suggest the move could also strengthen her public image as an artist who prioritizes her audience’s experience over maximizing profits.
The Eternal Sunshine tour is one of the most anticipated concert events of 2025, marking Grande’s first major tour since 2019’s Sweetener World Tour. With a new album and a refreshed stage production, demand for tickets is expected to be extremely high. However, fans will likely appreciate the stability of fixed ticket pricing, even if tickets sell out quickly.
Grande’s decision also places her among a smaller group of high-profile musicians who are pushing back against industry practices that many fans feel are exploitative. As ticket sales open, all eyes will be on how her approach influences the broader live music market and whether other artists will follow her lead.
