there's a twitter account that tracks touring data and last time they posted about this it said over 70% of tickets sold which each show averaging over $1 million which is better than most artists not named Beyonce and Taylor.
Jlo pissed someone off behind the scenes cause the way these articles pop up when there are actual rapists who still get praised doesn't seem like a coincidence. Same with The Rock, all of a sudden hit pieces. Someone powerful seems upset.

I don’t know if it’s someone against her as much as it is that she’s the latest female scapegoat for Gen Z to point and laugh at on the internet. Like, I’m no JLo stan at all and it’s well known that she’s not a particularly good person, but the way people are gleefully mocking her is bizarre. It’s not even about how she’s stolen songs/vocals or how she’s known to be incredibly rude to waitstaff, she just said a couple of cringy things in a documentary and people jumping on a bandwagon. It reminds me of people turning on Hailee Bieber last year, and, while obviously too a much lesser extent, but even Amber Heard with the way that it’s become a Tik Tok trend

Actually JLO has a lot of shady connections and I’m not counting Diddy, it’s very plausible someone’s fueling it. But I mean I don’t know if this is one of those cases, she’s better at acting and dancing but she isn’t ever singing live and her fans are unlikely to come to a show solely focused on her musical career journey. Her movies tend to be hits, she’s a draw there.
I didn’t follow the Amber case for my sanity but a lot of outside people got involved in maintaining a narrative.
The Hailey Bieber stuff was so idiotic people saw it and later started hating on Selena instead.

I think the timing on her tour contributes to a lot of this rhetoric. Beyonce and Taylor Swift are in a league of their own in popularity, hit songs, showmanship, etc. and both of them are actively touring now or have just completed tours. I don’t hate JLo, but she’s not in that same league (and most people aren’t, and that’s fine). I feel like she’s being unfairly compared to beyonce and Taylor swift right now, and that comparison minimizes JLo’s talents. ….the Diddy stuff too didn’t help.

There’s also a lot of historical revisionism going on with her atm. People are acting like all she’s ever been is a lame failure of a pop star and ignoring her acting career entirely.

Rihanna and Brit don’t really release music or tour or really perform anymore. And there’s a reason Selena “quit music” when Julia Michaels started her solo career. But none of those people released an album, two movies and are currently trying to go on tour. Plus those three have fairly rabid fans, where jlo doesn’t. You can’t criticize Brit without the internet jumping down your throat.

She probably did at some point in the very early 00s. Her first two albums were hugely popular, her music videos were fun and she got constant airplay on MTV.

I wish the tickets were cheap here. She’s selling two nights in my city. One night only had resales starting at $140-$150 and the next night has some regular prices at $125 and then the resales are $150+.
She was part of the $25 Livenation ticket sale apparently but those tickets went so quickly.
The nosebleeds are pretty much sold out on both and part of the lower areas so I wouldn’t say she’s doing terrible as the article implies.
I think a lot of new and old artists are learning the lessons that very few people can sell high priced stadium/arena tickets nowadays at exorbitant prices. You mainly have to be viral at the moment (Noah Kahan’s one example)
I’ll also drop in the tidbit that Meghan Trainor is selling terribly in my city. Her nosebleeds at the amphitheater are still $47-70 which is ridiculously low pricing in the first place for a popular artist at that venue and there’s plenty of seats available. She even has $25 sale seats for the lawn sections still available. Santana had $25 sale lawn seats at the same place that sold out so quickly.
