Sabrina Carpenter slammed by UK fans for unreasonably exorbitant ticket prices — ten times more than her last tour

Sabrina Carpenter was today slammed by UK fans for her exorbitant ticket charges.

The Short and Sweet star, who is dating Saltburn's Barry Keoghan, has come a long way since supporting her mentor Taylor Swift.

She is now embarking on her own arena tour, and she has not been shy about setting ticket costs.

In fact, the cost of seeing Sabrina has risen from £25 to £250, a tenfold increase from last year.

One person complained: "£250 to sit in the nosebleeds to see Sabrina Carpenter at the O2 - an artist with two hit singles and two other moderate hits. Absolutely APPALLING!"

While another said, "SORRY." I had every intention of obtaining Sabrina Carpenter tickets today on o2 priority, but the price is insane. Why are they hundreds of pounds??? "She's new ish???!"

This one vented: "Two Taylor Swift tickets at Wembley cost less than one Sabrina Carpenter ticket at the O2..." Sorry for harping on about this, but I'm literally puzzled; the expense of ticket pricing is utterly insane."

The Espresso singer stated earlier this month that she will tour Europe in Spring 2025.

The actress announced the announcement on social media, writing: "Soooo excited to bring the Short n' Sweet Tour to Europe & the UK!!".

Sabrina also stated that Rachel Chinouriri will be her support act for the forthcoming tour.

The first will take place on March 3 at the 3 Arena in Dublin, followed by gigs in Birmingham, London, and Manchester.

Meanwhile, despite rising to prominence as a young Disney star, with a role as loyal, good-girl teen Maya Hart on Girl Meets World in 2014, she's solidifying her status as the new 'bad girl of pop'.

According to a pop insider, "Sabrina was always the golden girl growing up, and people still see her as an innocent little girl rather than a nearly 25-year-old woman; it's as if they don't want her to change."

"She despises the flawless Disney image and all of the assumptions that come with it; just because she portrayed a certain character back then does not mean she is anything like that in real life. 

"Being a young Disney star has its advantages and disadvantages, but that is not how she wants to be recognized, and her role in Skims will change everything.

She's seen it happen to former Disney stars like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, and Selena Gomez, who fought to shed their image and be taken seriously as independent performers.

"And everyone enjoys watching a good girl turn bad and the consequences of that - it's the ultimate form of rebellion." 

"It's the ideal recipe for creating a superstar because they already have a large fan base that is growing with them, and doing something controversial will attract more fans, attention, and power."

"And people like Sabrina will also feel they have more to prove and show they're not just a pretty little actress and actually have talent and personality - and she has that in buckets."
