As the Taylor Swift Eras Tour rolls on, two stories illustrate just how much of a phenomenon it is for her fans. One involves ticket sales, the other a strange experience being.
From Bloomberg: The Swift tour provides a real-world lesson in the mechanics of supply and demand like no Milton Friedman textbook ever could. Much like Wall Street stockbrokers after a hot initial public offering, people who had scored multiple Swift tickets through Ticketmaster quickly found buyers for their assets.
For Taylor Swift fans, 52 concerts in massive football stadiums were never going to be enough to satisfy their pent-up demand to watch the superstar perform live for the first time since 2018. Some 14 million people flocked to Ticketmaster in hopes of scoring seats; the majority were unsuccessful.
