Some P!nk fans are planning to sleep in tents, as hotels and Airbnbs charge thousands of dollars a night to secure a bed during the popstar's surprise north Queensland tour leg.
abc.net.au/news/pink-concert-townsville-accommodation-price-gouging/102770052Accommodation prices in Townsville have skyrocketed by thousands of dollars a night as fans scramble to find a place to stay for two surprise P!nk concerts.The weekend is expected to inject almost $20 million into the local economyTickets to the international pop star's March 2024 show at the Townsville Stadium sold out within 16 minutes of going on sale last week.
But securing a room for the Friday and Saturday night shows is proving challenging and expensive task for fans.One room that would cost $175 tonight is listed on Booking.com for $748 on the night of the Friday P!nk concert. "As soon as you would ring the hotels and say you wanted to book accommodation for [P!nk], the hotels would be like 'no, no, no, no'."
Vickie-Lee Creighton, who manages the QCWA Kissing Point Units, said she was booked out within hours of the performer announcing her first show."There literally is just not enough accommodation for these kinds of events – and with the price-gouging going on, it just makes it that much worse for tourism here."
