A total of 592 respondents participated in the survey, all of whom attended at least one concert during Taylor Swift's Eras tour. This was verified over time by comparing questions and answers around demographics. Each respondent has been double verified and their contact information is securely stored on file with QuestionPro. The study has a margin of error of +/- 4% at a 95% confidence level.
The study found concertgoers are spending on average $1,300 per show, with 71 percent saying it was worth it because the experience was so rewarding and 91 percent saying they’d go again.
The survey of 592 people also found:
Ticket access was not much of an issue. About 36 percent of attendees got tickets in the pre-sale with another 44 percent getting them in the first ticket sale. Only 12 percent got them thru the second ticket sale, with 4 percent on the resale market.
It’s a family affair. Nearly 20 percent noted attending with parents, 31 percent with children and nearly 20 percent with siblings.
Besties and partners. The highest proportion of attendees listed going with their friends (53 percent and romantic partner (42 percent).
New fans. 71 percent said this was their first Taylor Swift concert, while 25 percent said they’d been to at least 2 and as many as 10 concerts. A few groupies (3 percent) have been to 10 or more.
It cost more, lots. The average concert goer spent about $720 more than their budget for a total average of $1,327.74, including expenses such as tickets, outfits/costumes, merchandise, food & drink, and travel.
Happy campers. Despite paying more than budgeted, the Eras Tour achieved a Net Promoter Score of 68, putting it on par with the top 3 admired brands such as Costco, USAA, and Southwest Airlines (it would be tied with Apple and the Ritz Carlton for fourth)
Not just for kids. About 58 percent of attendees are between 35 and 64 years old while just 37 percent are between 18 and 34. Less than 5 percent are under 18.
Would do it all over again. More than 70 percent said going to this event was worth it and a whopping 91 percent said they are likely to attend another concert – and would pay up to $1,311.35 to go again.
