TAYLOR SWIFT & THE ERAS TOUR | What Are We Doing Podcast Episode 106
Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour is soaring through the music scene like a jet stream, and it's not just breaking records; it's breaking the bank by billions of dollars! I mean, who knew that Taylor Swift could make the economy dance to her tunes?According to the August survey data from research firm QuestionPro (yes, we got the exclusive scoop), this tour is a cash cow in the making. We're talking about a potential $2.2 billion just from North American ticket sales! That's enough to buy a small country or at least a few private islands.Now, you might be wondering, how do they come up with these numbers? Well, it seems like the average ticket price was a whopping $455.78. I mean, who needs a mortgage when you can buy a Swift ticket, right? And she had a total of 68 shows in North America, which, if my math is right, amounts to a whole lot of cash.But wait, there's more! The average attendance per show was around 72,459 people. That's enough to fill a small city, or at least a medium-sized stadium. So, $2.2 billion? That would make "Eras" the highest-grossing tour ever. Sorry, Elton John, your "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour is now a distant second.But it's not just about the money; it's about the experience. "Eras" has become the social event of the year. People are shelling out thousands of dollars on tickets, outfits, transportation, and accommodations. We're talking about serious dedication here. According to a QuestionPro poll, concertgoers spent an average of $291.62 on their outfits, $214.80 on merchandise, and $131.48 on food and drinks. Who needs savings, anyway?Now, let's talk resale prices. The average resale price of an "Eras" ticket was a jaw-dropping $1,607. That's a 741% increase from her "Reputation" tour in 2018 when tickets were practically a steal at $191. Taylor Swift might as well be a financial advisor at this point!But what about the impact beyond the dollar signs? Truckers for the tour got $100,000 checks each! Food banks received hefty donations, and retailers are cashing in on the Swift fashion frenzy. The Federal Reserve even mentioned Swift in their Beige Book because her concerts boosted hotel revenue in Philadelphia. She's not just a pop star; she's an economic superhero!So, what's next for Taylor Swift? Well, she's adding international tour dates, announcing album re-recordings, and basically taking over the world one concert at a time. Who knows, she might even break her own record. As they say, never say never when it comes to Taylor Swift. This "Eras" tour is the gift that keeps on giving, and we're all here for the ride!
