Has anyone been to the Taylor Swift Eras concert? Is it really worth the crazy money??

[Anonymous]

Please no judging or trolls!

I am trying to justify spending a ridiculous amount of money on Taylor Swift tickets. I really like her music and loved her 1989 concert. She's just a great performer. I would be buying off StubHub for a group of 4 of us. Right now, the cheapest tickets where you can actually see the stage (even from nosebleeds) are $1600+ each!!!! Who are buying up these tickets that are going for $3,000 and more??

I would never spend that kind of money on a concert, but that’s just me. Unless I was 2 to 3 rows from the front. Otherwise, I could just listen to her music in the car, or watch her performances on YouTube.

If the concert was local then I might consider it if my kid was a mega fan. But adding in the cost of traveling to this concert (I know people who flew, so you have airfare, hotel, meals, etc.) it is like a vacation. No way.

This. We have friends who got tickets initially for $350 and had to travel to Tampa/Atlanta/etc. But not at $1600 plus travel.

This is what I'm doing for this weekend's shows in Nashville. I got 300 level tickets at face value, but then a place to stay and flights added up to a total cost of probably $2000 for two people. We both love Taylor and have had a blast at her shows before, and I'm looking forward to doing some touristy stuff in Nashville before hand, but we'll see if it's worth it overall.

Wait until closer. Price will come down.

I have an acquaintance who bought a skybox for all three nights at the Atlanta shows. No clue what she paid, but frankly I’m concerned for her mental health. Multiple crying selfies from the concert by a woman in her early 40s.

Swift is like a new religious figure.

Wait until a day or two before the concert. Those prices will come down when people realize no one is going to pay that price.

How is it even possible to sell a ticket for $500+ when it is behind the stage and you have literally zero view of the concert.

Tempting me to sell our tickets!

Not in my experience! People get desperate.

This is definitely an “is it worth it to you” situation, of course. No one can answer that.

I dunno she seems less harmful than getting into religion.

That's not the case for the Philly venue. The cheapest I found was $1115 EACH. And it was nose bleed or partial view.

I saw a TikTok by a woman who waited until one hour after the show started in Atlanta and paid 275 for a ticket behind the stage. I wouldn’t pay that but you might be able to get tickets for a similar price for Philly.
