Canadian fans who managed to score tickets for one of Taylor Swift91裸聊视频檚 highly anticipated six shows in Toronto have already spent a good chunk of money. Those who live outside the Toronto area are now also budgeting for the cost of travel and accommodation in November 2024.
The Canadian Press spoke to several Swifties about how much they91裸聊视频檙e expecting to spend.
WINNING THE GOLDEN TICKET
Ashley Stewart, 24, saw Taylor Swift during her Fearless tour when it made a stop in her home province of Prince Edward Island back in 2010. This time around, she knew the pop star wouldn91裸聊视频檛 be stopping anywhere east of Toronto.
91裸聊视频淏eing from the Atlantic provinces, we fully knew that we would have to travel somewhere if we wanted to see her. So, we were expecting that if we wanted to go to the Eras Tour, we would have to pay to travel,91裸聊视频� the longtime Swifty said.
Stewart said getting the presale code for Swift tickets felt like a scene straight out of a movie.
91裸聊视频淚 feel like we91裸聊视频檙e in 91裸聊视频楥harlie and the Chocolate Factory,91裸聊视频� and I just opened my golden ticket,91裸聊视频� she told her grandmother when she opened the email with the code from Ticketmaster.
On Friday morning, Stewart secured two tickets, costing her and her best friend just over $150 each.
Since flights and hotels can91裸聊视频檛 be booked so far in advance, Stewart is using available November 2023 prices to estimate that a round-trip flight from Charlottetown will cost around $500 per person, before taxes.
91裸聊视频淭he flight will definitely be the most expensive part,91裸聊视频� she said, adding that she91裸聊视频檚 still not sure about hotel prices.
91裸聊视频淚f it had been this year, I definitely would not have been able to do it, but saving for 14 months is making it better.91裸聊视频�
Estimated total cost, including tickets and transportation: $650 per person
SAVING A YEAR IN ADVANCE
Augine Mendita, a 28-year-old longtime fan from Edmonton, was hoping Swift would come to her city91裸聊视频檚 large stadium.
But she wasn91裸聊视频檛 surprised that Toronto was chosen 91裸聊视频� now it will be her first time visiting.
One of her friends received a Ticketmaster presale code and together they opted for the cheaper tickets. In tears of joy, they secured the maximum four tickets at $169 each.
91裸聊视频淔lying within Canada is not cheap. It91裸聊视频檚 probably like cheaper to go to America even, than flying to Toronto,91裸聊视频� she said.
Mendita couldn91裸聊视频檛 find accommodations so far in advance, but estimates flights and hotels or Airbnb rentals will cost each person around $500. She said it91裸聊视频檚 a good thing accommodations can at least be shared by four people.
91裸聊视频淚 think it91裸聊视频檚 for sure worth it and also I like that we can save a year in advance,91裸聊视频� she said.
The next step for Mendita is to figure out which of her eight friends will be taking the four tickets.
Estimated total cost, including tickets, accommodations and transportation: $795 per person
91裸聊视频極NCE IN A LIFETIME91裸聊视频�
Melissa Gunn cried four times during the process of getting Swift concert tickets for her and her 10-year-old daughter.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 overwhelmed and there91裸聊视频檚 just sheer excitement for both me and Violet because she91裸聊视频檚 such a good kid. And she really deserves this,91裸聊视频� the 44-year-old from Nova Scotia said.
Gunn will be tucking away 91裸聊视频渇un money91裸聊视频� from every paycheque between now and November 2024.
91裸聊视频淎s soon as I can, I91裸聊视频檓 going to set some Google Alerts so I can track these flight prices, and then likely talk to some of my family and friends to see if I can stay (with them) for at least a portion of the trip,91裸聊视频� she said.
Hoping to surprise her daughter with a hotel in the vicinity of the concert venue, Gunn estimates the trip will cost the pair $5,000 including tickets, hotels and food.
91裸聊视频淚f this trip was solely for me, I probably would question the price of all this. But because it91裸聊视频檚 like a once-in-a-lifetime big thing for my daughter in her preteen years, it doesn91裸聊视频檛 matter,91裸聊视频� she said.
Estimated total cost, including tickets, accommodations and transportation: $2,500 per person
