Are your ready for it?
Since its kickoff in March 2023, tens of millions of fans have clamored to attend one of the 152 shows making up Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — which has become highest-grossing tour in history.
And for good reason: this three-hour concert by the most prolific and talented songwriter of our generation will rock your world. (Is my bias showing?)
Thankfully, there are still a few chances left to see this global blockbuster stateside before Swift takes her final bow in December 2024 — Swift and crew will return for another North American leg and perform three concerts each in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis before heading to Canada to close out the tour with six shows in Toronto and three in Vancouver — but it’ll cost you.
While there’s no way to see the Eras Tour for cheap anymore, here’s a breakdown of how low you can go when considering ticket cost, airfare, and hotel rates.
Due to extraordinary demand, all shows sold out almost instantaneously, so the only way to grab Eras Tour tickets now is through ticket marketplaces like StubHub. Unfortunately, resale tickets are eye-wateringly marked-up.
“Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is undoubtedly the best-selling tour of all time on StubHub, and the demand we have seen for this bucket-list event is unprecedented,” Joseph Bocanegra, StubHub spokesperson, shared with Travel+Leisure.
“For fans looking to still buy tickets, we recommend buying right away if you see something in your price range because if these stops follow the same trends as her US shows last summer, prices are not guaranteed to drop as we get closer to the concert.”
For better chances of scoring low(er) prices, StubHub advises fans to consider going solo: “Searching for single tickets may yield better prices than searching for group tickets. This is a trend that has become popular with Swifties, and with such a passionate fan base, you’ll never feel alone.”
However, there’s still potential deals to be had on flights and hotels, which can balance some of the concert cost.
“For the stateside Swifties out there, you’re in luck with airfare because late October into early November is not considered peak season when it comes to pricing,” Going travel expert Katy Nastro told Travel+Leisure. Still, “with tour dates just around the corner, travelers might find themselves outside the optimal 'Goldilocks Window' suggested by Going, which is normally one to three months before travel dates for domestic flights.”

If you’re considering flying to the Eras Tour, Nastro advises booking any budget-friendly flight you find as soon as possible.
“This way, you’ll secure your flight and can take advantage of the 24-hour rule while you sort out other details.” (When you book directly

The world has never seen anything quite like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
Just four months ago, I reported that getting to Greenland from North America was getting easier than ever thanks to a brand new Air Greenland route between Arctic Canada and Nuuk, the capital of the autonomous territory. Back then, I said that the new seasonal route, which has been running since June 16 and will continue until October 23, 2024, was to revolutionize air travel between the North American continent and the largest island in the world. While true, this piece of news feels a lot less relevant since United’s recent big announcement: The airline will soon fly direct to Nuuk, Greenland, from one of the biggest air travel hub in the US.
