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

 An amount much higher than that of the star's last tour: $157. How to explain such an increase? Due to inflation and rising costs, but also the very high demand for places, while ticket prices have exploded in recent years in the United States. Unlike France which has fixed prices for concerts, the United States does not have such a system and prices can therefore vary greatly for the same concert from one day to the next depending on demand.

8500: the number of cinemas which broadcast the concert

While the tour is still underway, a documentary film was recorded at three concerts held in Los Angeles. Since Friday October 13, 2023, theaters around the world have broadcast this show, including 144 in France. In total, 8,500 theaters are affected worldwide. Enough to generate more than 261 million dollars at the worldwide box office.

In addition to the cinema, the concert film was purchased by Disney+, which will therefore offer it in streaming from March 15.

$320,000,000: the money she helped make in Los Angeles

According to calculations by economist Maria Psyllou of the British University of Birmingham, Taylor Swift's six concerts in Los Angeles in August allowed the city's county to rake in $320 million.
