KUALA LUMPUR – Swifties made quick work of the additional tickets for The Eras Tour in Singapore, as they were sold out in five hours.
Priced between SG$88 and SG$1,228, the tickets were released online by Ticketmaster at 10am yesterday and sold out by 3pm.
Fans with access codes who did not get tickets when they first went on sale in July last year got emails on January 19 about their second chance to purchase tickets.
It was reported that those who tried to buy tickets via the email link were given queue numbers that exceeded one million. Each access code allows the buyer to get up to four tickets.
The concert will take place in the 55,000-capacity National Stadium over six nights between March 2 and 9.
Singapore is the only Southeast Asian stop in Swift’s massive global tour, which has 151 shows across five continents.
The record-breaking Eras Tour has seen her big-spending fans shelling for tickets, hotels, merchandise and other costs in the cities she performs in.
The megastar concluded the first US leg of The Eras Tour in Los Angeles in August last year, where her six-night stop added US$320 million to the county’s GDP and US$160 million in local earnings.
The tour also surpassed US$1 billion in revenue in December, making it the highest-grossing music tour ever, as well as projected to have a US$5 billion economic impact in the US.
She also released an accompanying film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which recently became the highest-grossing concert film of all-time, earning at least US$261.6 million worldwide.
Aside from being named Time magazine’s Person of the Year, Swift is also Spotify’s most-streamed artist in 2023, with more than 26.1 billion plays. – January 26, 2024
