Everything we know about Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Singapore

How to win the battle for tickets to the tour

The general sale for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in Singapore begins at noon today. If you're one of the lucky ones who scored an access code, then we hope you're camping on the Ticketmaster website by now, because it is going to be all out war.

The UOB pre-sale saw more than one million people in the queue hoping to secure tickets to Taylor Swift’s concert. From Ticketmaster crashing and the queue moving at a snail’s pace to people getting kicked out at payment, it was all tears and drama for fans on July 5 – just check out our round-up of all the reactions and memes to the pre-sale . To top it off, tickets sold out within three hours, leaving many empty-handed.

You can bet that the general sale will show even fiercer competition. To up your chances, read ahead for all the Taylor Swift concert details and instructions for ticketing. As always, breathe – and good luck!

The Eras Tour in Singapore details 

The Eras Tour in Singapore will take place at the Singapore National Stadium in March 2024 on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. Before heading into the ticket sale, take a close look at the seat map and decide on your favoured categories. There's no saying what your queue number will be so we advise deciding on backup seats in case your preferred categories get snapped up. 

Ticket prices for the concert are below, though there are also six VIP packages starting from $328 that come with exclusive Taylor Swift merchandise.

How to get tickets for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Singapore

General sale

The general sale for Taylor Swift's concert tickets start today at 12pm. If you have registered as a fan, you should have received an email by now that either provides you an access code or puts you on the waitlist. We reiterate, you need an access code for the general sale, although this doesn't guarantee that you'll secure tickets. 

Here are some important instructions to keep in mind: 

• Click the link sent to your email at the appropriate time. 
• Only use one browser or device – do not open multiple pages.
• Enter your unique access code. Should you receive an error, please follow the instructions that were sent via email titled “How to Access the   Taylor   Swift   | The Eras Tour On-Sale”.
• To keep the process fair for everyone, you will be placed in a queue. The time you join the Waiting Room prior to the event going on sale does not determine your place in the Smart Queue. 
• Once you get your spot in the queue, please do not refresh your browser or you will be pushed to the end of the line.
• When completing your ticket purchase, stay within one browser window or you risk errors.
• You are only allowed to purchase four tickets per account or code. 
• Have your valid credit card info on hand for a smooth and faster checkout. 
• Remember: access does not guarantee tickets due to limited availability. They are sold on a first-come-first-served basis while stocks last.

SingPost outlets

You may also physically queue at any SingPost outlet islandwide in the hopes of scoring tickets to the concert. However, fans have formed snaking lines since Thursday, and SingPost has advised that you're unlikely to secure tickets if you're beyond the 30th position in line. Our advice? Channel your efforts into the online sales. 

Klook experience packages

As the official experience partner of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in Singapore, Klook will be selling two experience packages, each inclusive of two Taylor Swift concert tickets and a night's stay in a 4-star or 5-star hotel. 

To book, you will need to download the latest Klook mobile application and have a valid Ticketmaster account. Check out the Klook Experience Packages page for more information on participating hotels, eligible seat categories, and the booking process.

TAYLOR SWIFT. The popstar during the Argentina stop of her 'The Eras' concert tour.

MANILA, Philippines – “ I counted days, I counted miles. To see you there, to see you there!” 

The long wait is over for thousands of Southeast Asian fans of American pop star Taylor Swift as she finally brings her The Eras Tour concert to Singapore. 

Her six-night residency at the National Stadium in Singapore started on March 2, with succeeding shows on March 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9, with Sabrina Carpenter as special guest. 

As the only stop in Southeast Asia, a Reuters report noted that it is estimated that 7 in 10 of the 30,000 concertgoers will be coming in from outside of Singapore. 

And a huge number of those are expected to be Filipino Swifties, as it can be recalled that the Philippines had the highest number of fans who secured activity-booking platform Klook’s Taylor Swift concert experience packages. Klook , which is an official partner of The Eras Tou r in Singapore, offered various experience packages that bundled concert tickets and hotel accommodations.

Attention, Swifties: The seat plan for Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ stop in Singapore is here

By Brooke Villanueva Published Jul 03, 2023 10:49 am

Looking to catch Taylor Swift live in one of her Singapore shows for The Eras Tour ?

Since it will be her only Southeast Asian stop for her concert tour, Filipino Swifties have bared their plan to fly to Singapore just to watch their favorite singer perform her hits in person.

If you’re one of them, you’d be happy to know that Ticketmaster has revealed the seat plan for her National Stadium shows, with price categories organized by color. 

The singer in late June announced that she is set to hold three concerts in Singapore next year. She later on added three more shows “due to overwhelming response."

Aside from the initial March 2-4 concerts, the singer will have additional shows from March 7 to 9. 

Standard ticket prices range from SGD 108 (P4,406) to SGD 348 (P14,197), while VIP packages range from SGD 328 (P13,381) to SGD 1,128 (P50,098). 

The general sale will start on July 7 at noon via  Ticketmaster   and at  SingPost   outlets. Buyers will be allowed to purchase up to four tickets at a time. 

Swift is also holding four concerts at the Tokyo Dome in Japan from Feb. 7 to 10. 

The singer announced The Eras Tour   in November last year, describing it as a journey through the musical eras of her career thus far. The ongoing first leg will run from March 18 to Aug. 5 at stadiums across the United States. It's set to conclude in August 2024.

Is Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras Tour Package Worth It? A Breakdown

The most expensive package is $899 — before tax and fees!

Raise your hand if you also blacked out while trying to get tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras tour , because it was a trying time for every Swiftie out there. Not only was Ticketmaster’s virtual queue a mess, but once you finally got through it, you were also faced with one of the most stressful steps of the process: trying to actually secure your ticket. With tickets being snatched up left and right, you may have just bought whatever was available at the time. If that was a VIP ticket, you might be wondering now, is Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras tour package worth it? Let’s break it down.

First of all, VIP packages are nothing new for a Taylor Swift tour. For many artists, VIP packages include a meet and greet and merch, along with some of the best seats in the venue for the show. However, fans know that Swift is one of the few artists who doesn’t offer paid meet and greets . Since meeting Swift is not part of the package, it’s fair to wonder what could be worth hundreds of dollars — which is how much these VIP packages go for.

I was lucky enough to receive a VIP package to Swift’s Reputation tour for Christmas in 2017. Since it was a present, I didn’t personally spend the money on the package, but my sister made it very clear she didn’t think it was worth the splurge. Now that the Eras tour VIP packages are starting to arrive in the mail, Swifties are on the fence about whether they’re worth their price as well. If you had to determine if they fall under the cop or drop category, some may lean towards drop and regret. However, Jordan Walker ( @fairytaleswift ) — who was at one of the Glendale Eras Tour shows — told Elite Daily it was “so worth it.”

How Much Are Taylor Swift VIP Tickets For The Eras Tour?

Before you can even consider whether or not Taylor Swift VIP tickets are worth it for you, it helps to determine if they’re even in your budget. According to Variety , the VIP packages for The Eras Tour range from $199 to $899. Here is a breakdown of each Eras Tour VIP tier and its price:

• “It's A Love Story Package” — $199
• “...ready for it Package” — $449
• “I Remember It All Too Well Package” — $559
• “Karma Is My Boyfriend Package” — $749
• “It's Been A Long Time Coming Package” — $899

That’s actually not that bad compared to the Reputation tour. For that, Ticket Crusader reports that VIP packages ranged from $495 to $895 and my sister and I had the $495 tickets — aka the “Kingdom Keys Package.” Walker ended up getting the second-highest “Karma Is My Boyfriend Package” for both her and her mom.

Seats & Merch For Taylor Swift VIP Packages For The Eras Tour

All Eras Tour VIP packages get the same exact merch whether you’re paying $199 or $899. Let’s compare what I got for the Reputation tour versus what’s in the Eras Tour merch package. I received the following:

• A seat in the lower bowl section of the stadium
• A collectible box with an exclusive video message from Swift built in
• A Reputation book with exclusive photos and poetry from Swift
• An LED VIP tour laminate to wear to the show
• A commemorative ticket with a display case
• A reputation stadium tour patch
• A copy of the Reputation CD

The Eras Tour merch includes:

• A reserved seat
• A special edition set of four Swift prints, and each set “contains a hand-numbered print designed specifically for your show and city”
• A commemorative Eras Tour VIP tote bag
• A collectible Taylor Swift pin
• A collectible Taylor Swift sticker
• A collectible Taylor Swift postcard set
• A souvenir concert ticket

Comparing the two tours, the merch inside each box is pretty much the same. Similar to the three Reputation tour packages, the only thing that separates the five different Eras Tour tiers is where your seat is located. The two most expensive packages — Karma Is My Boyfriend Package and It's Been A Long Time Coming Package — are on the floor and come with additional perks. Those, according to Walker, were “separate merch stands, along with early entrance, and access to seats a bit before non-VIP.” The VIP merch booths were supposed to be crowd-free, but Walker told Elite Daily the lines were still long and she had to wait about 40 minutes in total. That includes going to different merch stands to find items that were sold out at others.

Another VIP Swiftie with floor seats, Izzy Mendoza ( @izzy618 ), told Elite Daily they only had to wait about 20-30 minutes. While there is no exclusive VIP merch at these special booths, you may be able to avoid extremely long lines by going to them instead of the general ones. That may make the price of the ticket worth it if saving some time before the show is important to you.

You just have to justify whether spending close to $1000 per ticket, which is around what the floor tickets cost with all of Ticketmaster’s fees and taxes, is reasonable for shorter lines. Since I’m someone who just recently realized there was a Reputation book at the bottom of my VIP package box , I’m clearly in it for the seats rather than the merch.

What’s The View From VIP Taylor Swift Tickets?

You would expect the Eras Tour VIP package seats to be some of the best in the house, but where you’re located — especially on the floor — can make a huge difference. For anyone who is VIP with floor tickets, you better hope you’re not standing behind someone taller than you. Something you also don’t think about until you’re there is that everyone is trying to capture the best video to post on TikTok. “Always remind yourself that people love to put their phone up high to record,” Mendoza warned.

Hats are another thing you don’t expect to have to deal with, but remember a lot of people are going to use the Eras Tour as a chance to dress like they just got invited to the Met Gala. As much as you’ll love seeing someone dressed up as a willow tree before the show, sitting behind them won’t be as pleasant.

Both Walker and Mendoza mentioned there were parts of the show they couldn’t see from the floor. Walker didn’t mind, though, and shared that Swift “was so close most of the night.” When she wasn’t, the screens in the stadium allowed them to see everything else.

TikToker @bickybui also mentioned not being able to see the cool lighting and effects that happen on the stage from the floor, which can only be seen from above. Mendoza said that while this was their second time on the floor, sitting on the first tier of the stadium is better if you want to “see every detail of the show.” The Eras Tour has some intricate sets you may have to watch back on TikTok later if you can’t see them IRL.

Are Taylor Swift’s VIP Eras Tour Packages Worth It?

Ultimately, I don’t think anyone should have to spend close to $1000 to see a concert. The idea of collectible merch is exciting, but as some fans have pointed out, the Eras VIP merch is nothing to write home about. TikToker @louissuspenders was the first to share the Eras tour VIP package on TikTok, which many fans were disappointed in seeing. It looks like everything mentioned was included, like the pin, postcards, prints, and tote bag. However, the box itself doesn’t appear to be as high quality as previous ones.

When asked if she thought the VIP merch was worth the $900 price tag, Walker said, “Not necessarily, but I love what was sent.” Putting things into perspective, Walker revealed that it was her first experience with the package, saying, “I was happy to get the chance to even be VIP.”

Walker, who had the second most expensive package, said, “I truly think it was so worth it. It was an incredible experience. She did a phenomenal job.” The overall VIP ticket was worth it for both Swifties. According to Mendoza, VIP is something that every Swiftie should be able to experience at least once.

I have to agree that being a VIP for one of Swift’s shows is something every fan should try to check off their Taylor Swift bucket list — if they can. The “if you can” is important. It’s possible to have just as much fun and see more from nosebleed seats that are within your budget as well. Considering Ticketmaster canceled the public sale to Swift’s Eras tour , just having something should be celebrated.

Even from my seat in the last row at SoFi Stadium, I’m going to have the best time shaking it off and cry-singing to “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” as if I’m in the front row. And for anyone who is actually in the front row and managed to snag some VIP tickets, I — and probably many other Swifties — will be watching your concert footage on TikTok after the show.

Taylor Swift may attract more U.S. luxury travelers to Paris for Eras Tour than Olympics

PARIS — Try and come for Taylor Swift's job. The superstar is playing a four-night stint in Paris, jumpstarting the 18-city European leg of the Eras Tour , and she may have drawn more Americans to France than the upcoming Olympics.

Jack Ezon, the CEO of Embark Beyond , a luxury travel agency based in New York City, said the Swift is generating five times the bookings as the summer games, as first reported in the Strait Times .

Although there is still time to arrange trips for the Olympics, held from July 26–Aug. 11, Ezon said his company has booked more than 200 Parisian vacations for Swifties. The average stay is three nights, and a third of the reservations are for mothers and daughters.

Cheaper to buy French vacation than one U.S. ticket

Swift changed up her three-plus-hour show to incorporate her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department." She's been working on the change for 8-9 months , since the singer-songwriter took a two-month break in fall 2023 to premiere her concert movie to theaters and release "1989 (Taylor's Version)." The updates have driven up excitement and demand for the Eras Tour with American fans wanting to see the modified show.

"The tickets to go to Indianapolis are like $5,000 apiece," says Stephanie Gottschalk waiting in line for the second Paris show with her daughter Brooklynn. "For us to fly here, stay in the hotel and buy the tickets was about $5,000 total. So half the price. And we got to experience Europe. We got to go to the Eiffel Tower and create memories that we're going to remember for the rest of our lives."

Dressed in "Bejeweled" outfits, the Gottschalks were already planning another trip back to Europe to see the record-breaking tour again.

"We've already started looking into Switzerland," Stephanie says. Swift will play in Zürich's Stadion Letzigrund for two nights July 9-10.

The Eras Tour will head back to the U.S. in the fall with October and November shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. As of Saturday, the cheapest U.S. ticket on resale site StubHub.com was $1,615 for New Orleans. The most expensive VIP seat was worth $11,701 for Miami.

Global impact felt

The Swift Effect — a boost to local, state and national economies — was felt during the first year of the Eras Tour. According to Bloomberg Economics, Swift's concerts contributed $4.3 billion to America's gross domestic product. In Japan, the massive concert is estimated to have pumped $228 million (¥34.1 billion) into the country with $162.7 million (¥24.3 billion) going directly to Tokyo. In Australia, Swift was expected to sell $66 million worth of merchandise . Edwin Tong, Singapore politican and minister for culture, community and youth, said the country paid Swift $2-3 million dollars to exclusively play in the country.

Swift will perform Sunday night in La Défense Arena in Paris before heading to Stockholm, Sweden.

Fans are following Taylor Swift to Europe after finding Eras Tour tickets less costly there

Thousands of Taylor Swift fans are following her across the pond after missing out on her U.S. concert tour last year or being put off by marked-up ticket prices.

Taylor Swift fans drinking at The Black Dog in Vauxhall, south London, said they were there thanks to the track “The Black Dog,” in which the singer describes monitoring an unnamed ex’s visit “into some bar called The Black Dog,” through location share on her phone.

As Taylor Swift prepares to launch the Europe leg of her blockbuster Eras tour, thousands of her fans from the U.S. and Canada are following her across the pond. Some Swifties decided to see Swift in one of the 18 cities on the pop star’s tour after noticing that tighter restrictions on ticket fees and scalping in Europe made seeing Miss Americana perform abroad less of a splurge.

LONDON (AP) — Thousands of ride-or-die Taylor Swift fans who missed out on her U.S. concert tour last year or didn’t want to buy exorbitantly priced tickets to see her again found an out-of-the-way solution: Fly to Europe.

The pop star is scheduled to kick off the 18-city Europe leg of her record-setting Eras Tour in Paris on Thursday, and planeloads of Swifties plan to follow Miss Americana across the pond in the coming weeks. The arena where Swift is appearing said Americans bought 20% of the tickets for her four sold-out shows. Stockholm, the tour’s next stop, expects about 10,000 concertgoers from the U.S.

A concert might sound like an odd raison d’etre for visiting a foreign country, especially when fans can watch the Eras Tour from home via the documentary now streaming on Disney+. Yet online travel company Expedia says continent-hopping by Swift’s devotees is part of a larger trend it dubbed “tour tourism” while observing a pattern that emerged during Beyoncé's Renaissance world tour .

Some North American fans who plan to fly overseas for the Eras Tour said they justified the expense after noticing that tighter restrictions on ticket fees and resales in Europe made seeing Swift perform abroad no more costly — and potentially cheaper — than catching her closer to home .

“They said, ’Wait a minute, I can either spend $1,500 to go see my favorite artist in Miami, or I can take that $1,500 and buy a concert ticket, a round-trip plane ticket, and three nights in a hotel room,” Melanie Fish, an Expedia spokesperson and travel expert, said.

That was the experience of Jennifer Warren, 43, who lives in St. Catharines, a city in the Niagara region of Ontario. She and her 11-year-old son love Swift but had no luck scoring what she considered as decently priced tickets in the U.S. Undeterred, Warren and her husband decided to plan a European vacation around wherever she managed to get seats. It turned out to be Hamburg, Germany.

AP correspondent Jennifer King reports Taylor Swift is heading to Europe, and her U.S. fans are following.

“You get out, you get to see the world, and you get to see your favorite artist or performer at the same time, so there are a lot of wins to it,” said Warren, who works as the director of research and innovation for a mutual insurance company.

The three VIP tickets she secured close to the stage — “I would call it brute-force dumb luck” — cost 600 euros ($646) each. Swift subsequently announced six November tour dates in Toronto, within driving distance of Warren’s home. “Absolute nose-bleed seats” already are going for 3,000 Canadian dollars ($2,194) on secondary resale sites like Viagogo, Warren said.

TOUR TOURISM: IS IT REALLY A THING?

Hard-core fans trailing their favorite singer or band on tour is not a new phenomenon. “Groupie” emerged in the late 1960s as a somewhat derogatory word for the ardent followers of rock bands. Deadheads took to the road in the 1970s to pursue the Grateful Dead from city to city.

More recently, music festivals like California’s Coachella and England’s Glastonbury, and concert residencies in Las Vegas by the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga and Adele, have attracted travelers to places they wouldn’t otherwise visit, Fish noted.

Travel and entertainment analysts have also spoken of a pent-up consumer demand for “experiences” over material objects since the coronavirus pandemic. Some think the willingness of music lovers to broaden their fandom horizons is part of the same mass cultural correction.

“It does seem like it’s more than a structural shift, maybe a personality transformation we all went through,” said Natalia Lechmanova, the chief Europe economist for the Mastercard Economics Institute.

As Swift hopscotches across Europe, Lechmanova expects restaurants and hotels to see the same boost that Mastercard observed within a 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) radius of concert venues in the U.S. cities she visited in 2023. The U.S. dollar’s strong value against the euro may also increase retail spending on apparel, memorabilia, beauty products and supplies for the friendship bracelets fans exchange as part of the Eras Tour experience, the economist said.

Former college roommates Lizzy Hale, 34, who lives in Los Angeles, and Mitch Goulding, 33, who lives in Austin, Texas, already had tickets to see the Eras Tour in L.A. last summer when they decided to try to get ones for Paris, London or Edinburgh, Scotland, too. They saw a Europe concert trip as a makeup for travel plans they had in May 2020 to celebrate Goulding’s birthday but had to cancel due to the pandemic.

Goulding managed to secure VIP tickets for one of Swift’s three Stockholm shows. He, Hale and two other friends scheduled a 10-day trip that also includes time in Amsterdam and Copenhagen.

“As people who enjoy traveling and enjoy music, if you can find an opportunity to combine the two, it’s really special,” said Hale, who is pregnant with her first child.

FOR STOCKHOLM, 120,000 SWIFTIES CAN’T BE WRONG

The local economic impact of what the zeitgeist has termed “Swiftonomics” and the “Swift lift” can be considerable . It’s no wonder the exclusive arrangement Singapore’s government made with Swift to make the city-state her only tour stop in Southeast Asia earlier this year aroused regional jealousy .

No European governments have complained of their countries not being among the dozen selected for the Europe leg of the Eras Tour, although some fans have expressed surprise that Gelsenkirchen, a city with a population of about 264,000 is one of the three cities in Germany that made the cut.

Airbnb reported Tuesday that searches on its platform for the U.K. cities where Swift is performing in June and August — Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London — increased an average of 337% when tickets went on sale last summer.

Not to be outdone when it comes to trend-spotting, the property rentals company cited the demand as an example of “passion tourism,” or travel “driven by concerts, sports and other cultural events.”

In Stockholm , 120,000 out-of-towners from 130 countries -- among them 10,000 from the U.S. — are expected to swarm Sweden’s capital this month, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Chief Economist Carl Bergqvist said. Stockholm is the only Scandinavian city on Swift’s tour, and airlines added extra flights from nearby Denmark, Finland and Norway to bring people to the May 17-19 shows, he said.

The city’s 40,000 hotel rooms are sold out even though prices skyrocketed for the tour dates, Bergqvist said. Concert visitors are expected to pump around 500 million Swedish kroner, or over $46 million, into the local economy over the course of their stays, an estimate that does not include what they paid for Swift tickets or to get to Sweden, he said.

“So this is going to be huge for the tourism sector in Sweden and Stockholm in particular,” Bergqvist said.

Nightclubs, restaurants and bars are seizing the opportunity to cater to fans with Taylor Swift-themed events, such as karaoke, quizzes and after-concert dance parties.

Houston resident Caroline Matlock, 29, saw Swift more than a year ago when the Eras Tour came to the Texas city. Now she’s making more friendship bracelets and trying to learn a few words of Swedish as she prepares to see the 3 1/2-hour show in Stockholm. The idea of seeing Swift in Europe was her friend’s, and Matlock needed some persuading at first.

“I was like, ‘I only want to go if it’s a country I haven’t been to. I’ve seen Taylor Swift,’” she said.

Visiting the Scandinavian cities of Oslo and Gothenburg is on their itinerary. The concert is the last night of the trip and Matlock looks forward to interacting with Swifties from other countries: “Americans tend to have a very obsessive culture, especially Taylor Swift-related, so I’m curious if the crowd will be more toned-down.”

WILL TOUR TOURISM ENDURE AFTER ERAS?

It remains to be seen if the music tourism trend has legs as long and strong as Swift’s and Beyoncé's, and if it will carry over to Billie Eilish, Usher and other artists with world tours scheduled next year. Expedia’s Fish thinks other big-name artists in Europe this summer will prove that booking a foreign trip around a concert is catching on.

Kat Morga, a travel consultant based in Nashville, isn’t so sure. Morga saw Swift perform in Nashville last year and helped two clients with school-aged children book European family vacations this summer that include seeing Swift in concert. But she thinks the difficulty of navigating ticket purchases through language barriers, currency conversions, international banking regulations and the risk of cancellations will limit the appeal of regular gig getaways.

“I think this is an anomaly,” Morga said. “People aren’t typically going to build their $20,000 huge family vacation only because Taylor Swift is there. She’s the one-off. She’s special.”

Booking Holdings CEO Glenn Fogel, whose company operates Booking.com, priceline.com, agoda.com, Kayak and OpenTable, is even less enthusiastic about concert tours as a tourism instigator. The Swift Effect causes a “little blip” when the superstar goes to smaller destinations, but for the worldwide travel industry, “one star touring around does not make a difference,” he said.

“It may just shift it a little bit. A person was going to go to the Caribbean for a week vacation. Instead that person (says), ‘Let’s travel to the Taylor Swift thing,’” Fogel said. “It doesn’t increase it. It just moves it from here to there.”

AP journalists Colleen Barry in Milan, Chisato Tanaka in Stockholm, Anne D’Innocenzio in New York, David Koenig in Dallas, Thomas Adamson in Paris and Brian Melley in London contributed reporting.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift continue to spend so much time together despite their busy schedules.
