Swifties flock to Europe to see Eras Tour
Many American Swifties traveled to Paris to see the Eras Tour because the tickets were more affordable than in the U.S.
American Swifties felt like they were somewhere else.
Like they were in Paris.
No, wait, they were really in Paris.
Taylor Swift is back on the road again on the Eras Tour, and she performed in Paris, France over the weekend. Several American Swifties were in attendance at the shows because they found it was more affordable to buy tickets to the Paris show — and book flights and hotels than to even buy one ticket to one of the remaining U.S. tour dates.
While at the Eras Tour show in Paris, Stephanie Gottschalk of Wisconsin told USA Today that she was looking at taking her daughter to one of the Indianapolis concert dates, but it was actually cheaper to go to France.
“The tickets to go to Indianapolis, I checked, are like $5,000 a piece,” Gottschalk told USA Today at the Eras Tour in Paris. “For us to fly here, stay in the hotel and buy the tickets was about $5,000. So half the price and we got to experience Europe. We got to see the Eiffel Tower.”
New Eras Tour setlist debuted in Paris: Taylor Swift has restructured her Eras Tour. Is this the show we’ll see in Indianapolis?
