Lana Del Rey fans desperate to sell concert tickets amid setlist complaints
As clips of Lana Del Rey's first performance of her Stadium Tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium spread online, fans have been expressing their disappointment and frustration
It's proving to be a sad summer for Lana Del Rey fans after they've been left supremely dismayed by the singer's Stadium Tour – with some even describing it as a 'scam'.
The tour kicked off on June 23 with a performance in Cardiff Principality Stadium, with concerts scheduled in Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin and London. But on the back of clips circulated from her Cardiff performance, certain fans have been scrabbling to get rid of their tickets.
One such fan, Sebastian Sochan, took to TikTok to express his horror after seeing clips from her Cardiff set. He said: 'I'm seeing Lana Del Rey in London and the setlist from Cardiff is literally making me want to resell my ticket – because you obviously can't get a refund.'
He continued: 'I've been a Lana fan for years, I literally went to her first ever tour in the UK. I think to do a stadium tour with only [15] songs is actually criminal.'
He complained: 'Of those…songs, two or three are covers, three are unreleased, so people don't know the lyrics if they're not massive fans. Another three of those are literally shortened versions.' He also pointed out that Lana performed via a hologram for several songs, 'so she's not even there singing.'
Major issue was also taken with her timekeeping, given that the singer reportedly showed up 20 minutes late to her hour and a half-long Cardiff show. 'To be once again 20 minutes late is so disrespectful to fans. At what point will the fandom actually stand up and say this is really unprofessional and you need to start putting in the work?' he added.

Commenters were quick to share their own annoyance. 'And FOUR of the songs are covers! I have Glasgow tickets and I've been a fan since 2010, but this is a scam,' one said. 'Charging that much when there's a hologram and two shortened songs is crazy and the setlist is so disappointing,' another added.
The price of her tickets was also point of contention amongst fans. During the presale it was confirmed that tickets will be priced between £78.40-£405, as reported by Pink News, with rear standing tickets going for £112.
'I love her but it annoys me how she treats the shows themself as a hobby when we are all paying money to see her. Just feels like she doesn't respect fans but I still love the music,' said a third.
Another commenter also added how disrespectful the concert was to fans who have travelled long distances. 'Seriously, people are flying all the way from CHINA to see her perform, so disrespectful she needs to take accountability and fix up, I love her but this is not ok,' one wrote.
One user even described her concerts as a 'money grab'. They added: 'what's annoying is that they sell these tickets so many months prior. i guess we all assumed we'd have new music if she was touring a STADIUM tour, but even if she didn't put an album out (she really didn't) the show should still feel complete.'

Lewis Capaldi's Glastonbury 'set time confirmed' amidst mysterious Pyramid Stage slot
The star is rumoured to be taking to the stage this afternoon. Lewis Capaldi seems to be making a triumphant return to Glastonbury two years on from his 2023 performance which saw him visibly struggling with his Tourette's Syndrome to the point fans had to finish his songs for him. But now, it seems that the Scots singer will be heading back to the festival to perform once more after taking a two year break. Following his set in 2023, the 28-year-old announced a break from music and cancelled all of his upcoming gigs to focus on his mental and physical health. Fans believe that Lewis will be playing the mysterious 'TBA' slot on the iconic Pyramid Stage from 4.55pm until 5.30pm today as the singer dropped a new song last night at midnight and also mysterious billboards have appeared at a station close to Glastonbury in Somerset and another in Glasgow City Centre with messages of lyrics to Lewis' new song 'Survive'. Festival goers have also spotted signs all over the festival site which have a picture of the star wearing his iconic sunglasses with the words: "Celebrity lookalike contest - Pyramid Stage 16:45 - Absolutely zero cash prize." So anyone hoping to catch a glimpse of the Scots chanter should head to the festival for 4.45pm, just to be safe! Fans flocked to social media to talk about the possibility of Lewis returning to the stage after two years. One said: "The best thing that can happen today is for Lewis Capaldi to make a comeback on Glastonbury pyramid stage. The love he will feel will be another level." Another added: "omfg Lewis C apaldi G lastonbury secret set is actually happening." "I had no desire to be at Glastonbury this year but seeing Lewis Capaldi is basically nailed on for a secret set is making me jealous", another wrote. Another commented: "Good to see Lewis Capaldi back, was in the crowd last time at Glastonbury and could see how much he was struggling. Hope he smashes it today back there." The song was also leaked on TikTok, with the billboard message 'I refuse to spend my best years rotting in the sun' aligning with the lyrics in the track. Last night, Lewis posted for the first time this year with a snippet to his new song 'Survive'. In the tune, Lewis references his mental health challenges of self-doubt and despair, Lewis, 28, sings, 'How long 'til it feels, Like I'm more than a spoke in a wheel? 'Most nights I fear that I'm not enough. I've had my share of Monday mornings when I can't get up. But when hope is lost. And I come undone, I swear to God I'll survive, If it kills me to, I'm gonna get up and try, if it's the last thing I do. He then comes out swinging in a chorus full of defiance with the line, 'I swear to God I'll survive, if it kills me to, I'm gonna' get up and try, if it's the last thing I'll do. 'I've still got something to give, Though it hurts sometimes, I'm gonna get up and live, Until the day that I die.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'We blindly spent £1.5k on storage unit and hit the jackpot with items inside'
Storage unit buyer, Wade Coggins couldn't believe his luck after his wife opened their newly-purchased container to reveal scores of boxes of valuable retro goods An American couple who splashed out around £1,500 on a storage unit with very little prior knowledge of what was inside were left stunned after being handed the keys. Wade Coggins took to TikTok to showcase their new possessions, after finding the unit's interior rammed full with goods. "We spent over $2,000 on this 10x20x10 [feet container] and we hit the jackpot," he enthused in a video. "It might not look special, but wait until you see what's inside." The clip revealed dozens of boxes – of which Wade admitted he knew barely anything about. Heading towards the back of the unit, Wade opened up a folder filled with Pokémon cards. "All these are from 1999," he hailed. "There's not one newer than that." He then moved on to a box containing hundreds more cards from the same year. Next, Wade came across a brand new boxed Nintendo Wii U, before revealing: "There's a lot of game machines in here, but I've only been through around 2% of the unit so far." An old plastic Nintendo case was next to be opened, this time containing a series of 1980s NES cartridges. "They're in really good shape," Wade said, noting Godzilla and Zelda II The Adventure of Link as particular points of interest. More Nintendo boxes followed, alongside Apple computers as Wade opened up another box full of consoles, this time Nintendo 64s and Wiis. "There's a lot of electronics here, including monitors," he said. "They definitely loved video games." Wade then spotted further boxes of retro gaming goods - namely Sega Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation 3 content - before non-electric toys caught his eye. "Wow look at that," he exclaimed, holding aloft a large Star Wars AT-AT Walker toy and an unopened Lego set. Next came a Nintendo DS handheld console, a series of laptop computers and a large box full of old PC games including Sonic the Hedgehog and The Sims. "I think there's some money here," Wade said. Still he wasn't done though - revealing the contents of another box to be a Star Wars edition of an Xbox One console. "I'll show you one more box," he concluded, admitting he didn't have the time to go through everything - and in fact was only around 5% of the way through the process. This time it contained a variety of items - yet more Pokémon cards, video games and other boxed games including Jenga. The reaction to the couple's purchase proved to be mixed, however. Writing in response, one TikTok user urged: "Please, please get a retro professional to help you with this stuff, some of its incredibly valuable especially if you don't open the boxes." A second added: "What you showed is at least 20k." Whilst a third declared: "That collection is insane. Either they were a major collector, or they had an indie game store because that is so much stuff!" Others confessed to feeling sorry for the previous owner, however, one of whom penned: "My stomach is turning... how long was this abandoned? You should try to at least contact the prior owner. This feels wrong in so many ways." Another concurred: "Used to enjoy watching this kind of content until it sank in there's probably a really sad story behind why these are being sold off, no issue with the buyers but I can't watch them any more." And a third person agreed: "This is so sad to me. That is all someone's prized processions. All their treasures and hard work sold for nothing for someone else to profit. No hate for buying it. I just feel for the original owner."
