Taylor Swift fans from far and wide will head to Toronto next month to see the superstar perform a series of six sold out shows at the Rogers Centre.
The mega-successful ‘Era’s Tour’ – the first tour to cross the billion-dollar mark – is expected to inject $282 million into Toronto’s economy, according to data from Destination Toronto, with $152 million of that figure coming in the form of direct spending.
Swifties lucky enough to snag tickets to her sold-out shows already know all too well of the financial hit the Pennsylvania-born singer has on their wallets.
Currently, the cheapest seats listed for any of Swift’s six Toronto shows on ticket resale site StubHub are priced at more than $2,300.
Rooms at many downtown hotels, meanwhile, are listed for more than $1,000 a night in many cases.
