Taylor Swift has officially made history with her Eras Tour, cementing her status as a global phenomenon. After 149 electrifying shows, the tour wrapped on Sunday night (December 8) in Vancouver, Canada, and became the first-ever tour to gross over $2 billion.
According to official numbers confirmed by Variety and first reported by The New York Times, the Eras Tour brought in an astonishing $2,077,618,725 from a sold-out attendance of 10,168,008 fans. This nearly doubles the previous record for a tour gross, setting a new benchmark in the live music industry.
The average ticket price for the tour was $204, while tickets on the secondary market skyrocketed to an average of $2,952, according to resale company Victory Live.
To put this achievement into perspective, the only other tour to surpass the $1 billion mark is Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, which reached that milestone after two and a half years. Before that, Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour held the record at $939 million over five years, and Ed Sheeran’s Divide Tour grossed $776 million.
Over 10 million tickets were sold for the Eras Tour, with an impressive 753,112 tickets purchased for just her eight-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium. The tour’s largest single-night crowd was 96,006 attendees for a performance on February 16, 2024, in Melbourne, Australia.
