Explained in plain English

Why are tickets so competitive?

Tickets for popular artists like Mariah Carey often sell out quickly due to high demand and limited availability. Major tours are a significant revenue stream for artists, and the exclusivity of specific dates, especially around Christmas, drives up competition. Fans often use presales and set alarms to secure their spot for these sought after events.
