Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour" has been a challenge since its inception in 2023, and as the international leg kicks off in 2024, the struggle persists. Swift's devoted fanbase ensures that ticket sales are a frenzy, with access codes required just to enter the ticketing process. Even then, securing tickets is far from guaranteed, often leading fans to turn to the secondary market where prices are significantly inflated.
Similarly, acquiring tickets to the Super Bowl is no easy feat. The event typically sells out quickly through a lottery system, leaving many fans to resort to the resale market where prices soar into the thousands of dollars, even for the cheapest seats.
While Swift will be attending this year's Super Bowl to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she won't be performing. Instead, the halftime show will be headlined by Usher.
Comparing ticket costs between the Super Bowl and Swift's «Eras Tour» reveals the stark reality of the demand for both events.
