How much does ‘The Eras Tour’ generate for each city?

The New York Times reported that the tour could generate up to $4.6 billion in North America alone “from spending on tickets, merchandise and travel”. A report from Forbes says that “Morgan Stanley estimates that Swift and Beyoncé have contributed $5.4 billion to the U.S. economy in total spending”.

“The [Eras Tour] was a shot in the arm to a part of the regional economy that’s really been lagging,” Mike Kahoe, chief economist for the California center, told The Washington Post. “It brought some much-needed dollars to the tourism industry.”

However, some have exercised caution and even concern over the prices inflating for ‘The Eras Tour’, with hotel and transport bookings shooting up the world over due to ‘Swiftie’ fever. The Times notes that “the demand that the Eras Tour creates for hotel rooms and flights across Europe could push up prices that feed into each country’s inflation rate”.

“Last month, Portugal’s inflation rate accelerated, in part because of a jump in hotel prices in Lisbon “resulting from a major cultural event,” the country’s statistics office said. Ms. Swift performed in Lisbon on May 24 and 25″, it added.
