Ticket Sales Tip of the Week #75 Taylor Swift
(This week she’s visiting my adopted hometown Toronto)
Yes, it’s crazy. Wednesday visiting John Santana @ the Blue Jays with Ken Kim@ Katalyst , the line up @ the Rogers Centre for merchandise was 4 hours long, 32 hours before the 1st show. That said, two variables are in place for the secondary market prices to start falling.
1st: The $3k a ticket buyer has already bought as many from this group added on airline tickets and hotel rooms.
2nd: Taylor, last minute tickets will be released to verified fans who missed out on the initial sale. Taylor wants the diehards in her audience and last minute also means local which is also “goodwill”.
A couple ticket profit misperception that should be cleared up.
Taylor Swift not the Jays will make close to 100% of the revenues. Thank you should be in order to Edward Rogers and Jays for hosting these events.
Patti-Anne Tarlton team at Ticketmaster is gauging customers. Not true: As the preferred primary and secondary ticket provider, the majority of the ticketing fees go to Taylor Swift not Ticketmaster.
In Sports: Why is Nov 15th, 2024 a great day? Canadian edition
The Winnipeg Jets competing with a 70 cent Cdn $ in the leagues smallest market, lead the NHL standing with the best start ever in the NHL.
The 13-0 Cleveland Cavaliers and the 10-0 Indiana Hoosiers (football) who beat the defending National Champs on the road last week are runner ups.
