Taylor Swift: ten crazy figures on the scale of her Eras Tour which is arriving in France in May (II)

 20: the number of countries crossed

The “Eras Tour” will visit 20 countries around the world, mainly in North America and Europe. This is a record that equals that of his second tour in 2011.

26: the number of fans who sued Ticketmaster for the sale of tickets

When tickets went on sale in the United States, the ticketing turned into a fiasco for Ticketmaster. Multiple bugs occurred and prices skyrocketed. 26 fans therefore sued the company for “fraud, price fixing and violation of antitrust laws”. In France, the sale was also very complicated.

  • 151: the number of concerts planned
  • 151 dates have been announced for this tour. This is more than all of the artist's previous tours.
  • 632: the number of days over which the tour extends

The tour started on March 17, 2023, in the United States and will end at least December 8, 2024, in Canada, (or later, in the event of an extension not yet announced). That's a total of 632 days, i.e. 1 year, 8 months and 22 days. With 151 concerts planned, that corresponds to one concert every four days.

$3,800: the average ticket resale price in the United States

In the United States, tour prices have been extremely high. And even more those from the resale of tickets. Thus, according to an analysis by the media Pitchwork, Taylor Swift concert tickets were sold, on average, for $3,801. Or a little over €3,500.
