[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes if you have not gone yet and are just getting around to looking for resale tickets, hotels, and flights now, then yes it is very very expensive. Especially with the few remaining shows left. We went to NOLA last weekend and paid $385 per ticket. Money not an issue for us but we still all crammed into one hotel room and flew a budget airline. Lots of people spend what we spent on weekends at Disney or to see broadway shows or whatever. OP you sound like you are disparaging the experience as somehow being something an elem age kid shouldn’t have bc of what it cost your braggy friend. But lots of people either did it for way less with luck and advance planning or are just ok with the cost for the experience. It was totally magical btw. [/quote]

I think people who don’t love Taylor and don’t have kids who love her make some pretty odd assertions about why people attended this concert, like the mom who says she thinks most people went just to post it on social media. Influencers, sure- that’s how they make money. Regular moms? No. We went because there’s nothing more fun than dancing and singing your heart out for 3.5 hours with your daughters to the same songs you both love in an arena filled with women doing the same thing with their moms, sisters, friends, daughters, nieces. I saw Taylor in college with my sister when she was
opening for Brad Paisley. I took my oldest to Reputation and my youngest to Eras. Those experiences are priceless to me, some of my fondest memories. Taylor has been around for 18 years; many millennial women grew up with her music and so did our kids. It’s perfectly reasonable given that that someone would spend more time or money to see her than they typically would for a concert. You can’t put a price on sharing that experience and bond with the people you love most. [/quote]
