Fans are wondering why Taylor Swift tickets are so expensive and whether or not they are worth it. Here’s a breakdown of why The Eras Tour tickets can be so expensive and if fans should still buy tickets.
Why are Taylor Swift tickets so expensive and priced so high?
Taylor Swift tickets are expensive because she is arguably the world’s most popular touring artist. As demand has increased, so have the ticket prices.
However, it’s not just Taylor Swift’s popularity that has caused the high prices for her The Eras Tour. With the face value of tickets supposed to cap out at $500, some fans are understandably surprised when they go to buy tickets and see four-figure prices.
Unfortunately, ticket prices are often at the mercy of resellers, who quickly scalp tickets as they go on sale and then whack on a huge charge to upsell them. While some ticketing companies have allegedly worked to stop scalping, it still plagues the live music scene.
Additionally, ticketing companies like Ticketmaster have many additional fees that quickly stack up.
Are Taylor Swift tickets worth the high price?
Taylor Swift tickets will be worth the high price for passionate fans who have been waiting to see her live in concert.
However, if the ticket price seems extortionate and is clearly being resold, potential buyers should be wary of overspending. What’s more, purchasing tickets without any guarantee of a refund/replacement should a show be canceled or postponed.
With many diehard fans out there wanting to see Taylor Swift perform live, there are many opportunities for scalpers and greedy ticketing companies to extract an unreasonable amount of money. Therefore, it’s important to stay vigilant.
