Here's when Taylor Swift is coming to Vancouver and how to buy tickets
Swifties, mark your calendars.
Taylor Swift has added dates to the Canadian leg of her blockbuster Eras Tour – scheduling three shows in Vancouver.
The pop star will be playing BC Place on Dec. 6, 7, and 8, 2024.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of bringing Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour, to Vancouver, giving fans the experience of a lifetime,” said Terrie Tweddle, spokesperson for Rogers Communications Inc., which is presenting the tour.
For those who want the chance to score tickets, registration for an online sale opened Thursday at 8 a.m. and runs through Saturday at 5 p.m.
On Wednesday, Nov. 8, registered fans will get an email telling them if they've been added to a list of people who get first dibs at tickets or placed on a waitlist. The actual sale will start the following day, open only to those whose access has been confirmed.
The only other Canadian city Swift is set to visit is Toronto, where she will play six shows in November of next year.
Those shows were added earlier this year after an outcry over the fact that no Canadian dates had been scheduled. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among those who posted to social media asking the star to reconsider.
B.C. Premier David Eby, who made a plea of his own in an Instagram story last month, weighed in shortly after Swift's announcement.
"Welcome to Vancouver, we’ve been waiting for you!" he wrote in Twitter.
"I’m convinced it was my invitation that convinced Taylor Swift to come to BC. Not the sold-out venues worldwide, not that her biggest & best fans are in our province, not that she already planned to… Nope, can’t be any of those!"
The province's tourism minister, Lana Popham, issued her own invite back in July, and reacted to Thursday's news on social media – first by tweeting a series of exclamation marks, later following it up with, "This is big!"
BC Place has a capacity of 54,500, meaning the all-but-inevitably sold-out shows would bring upwards of 150,000 fans to the downtown core over three days. On average, Eras Tour fans are spending U.S. $1,300 – equivalent to more than $1,700 in Canada – on tickets, merchandise, alcohol, food, parking and hotels.
And if Swift's previous stop in the Pacific Northwest is anything to go by, the impact could be literally seismic. Over the summer, a show in Seattle generated activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
