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.

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.
