Taylor Swift Era’s Tour Ends With Total Ticket Sales Of $2 Billion

The Eras Tour came to an end on Sunday evening after 149 shows in almost two years. During this time, Taylor Swift spent a total of more than 520 hours on stage, performed almost 50 songs and released three albums – two new recordings and a mega record with 31 tracks. But those numbers don’t come close to the whopping sum raised by ticket sales: $2,077,618,725.

According to the New York Times, More than 10 million people attended the Eras tour. It only took two weeks between the stadium tour announcement on November 1, 2022 and early sales on November 15, 2022 to realize the extent of the rush. “It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really makes me angry that many of them feel like they went through multiple bear attacks to get them,” Swift wrote on Instagram this week, after Swifties waged a bitter battle with Ticketmaster over access to the career-spanning show.

As the number of people who managed to get tickets increased, so did the total sales, which were kept secret until the end of the tour. Stadiums accommodated as many fans as possible by using limited-view seats and having to drop off tickets at the last minute. Most only attended a single show, but others returned at every opportunity.

“When I went to the first show and realized how crazy this show was and how much fun it was to be there with all my friends who were just as big Taylor Swift fans as I was, I think that was it “The moment I realized I was going to end up doing more than I ever planned,” said a fan who attended 20 shows on the Eras tour Rolling Stone last year.

With ticket sales exceeding $2 billion, the Eras tour is definitely the highest-grossing tour of all time. The feat was first reported in 2023, when the tour grossed an estimated $1 billion, but specific figures were not given at the time. This allowed Coldplay to officially lay claim to the title earlier this year when their Music of the Spheres tour posted total sales of more than $1 billion with nearly 9.3 million tickets sold.
