So, How Many Swifties Are About to Descend on Melbourne? A Deep Dive (But Not That Deep, We Like Our Sleep)
Buckle up, Melbourne! The city's about to be painted a million shades of TayTay's tears (of joy, we hope) because the Eras Tour is hitting town, and let me tell you, it's gonna be BIG. Like, bigger than your most dramatic high school break-up, multiplied by ten, kind of big.
Did Someone Say Sold Out? (We Think So)
Trying to snag tickets to this tour was basically the Hunger Games of music events. We're pretty sure people were bartering firstborn children for a chance to see Taylor live. All three Melbourne shows at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) sold out in, like, negative five seconds.
By the Numbers: We Did the Math (Because Someone Had To)
So, just how many Swifties are we talking about? Well, hold onto your sequin-covered cowboy hats, because each Melbourne show boasted a crowd of a whopping 96,000 people. Yep, you read that right. That's 96,000 fans singing along to "Love Story" at the top of their lungs. That's a total of 288,000 Swifties across the three-day concert extravaganza! Basically, the MCG is about to turn into a giant stadium-sized sing-along of every Taylor Swift song ever written.
Fun Fact: This makes the Melbourne leg of the tour the biggest crowd Taylor has ever performed for worldwide! We knew Melbourne Swifties were a dedicated bunch, but this takes the cake (or should we say the Red Velvet cake?).
FOMO is Real, But Don't Despair!
Okay, okay, we get it. You missed out on tickets, and now you're feeling all the FOMO. But fear not, fellow Swiftie! There's always hope. Here are some tips for the next time Taylor graces us with her presence (and, let's be honest, there will be a next time):
- Become a Taylor Swift BFF: This might be a long shot, but hey, if you can befriend her childhood goldfish, maybe you'll snag a guest invite.
- Master the Art of Refreshing: Get ready to become one with the "refresh" button on Ticketmaster. Your fingers will thank you later.
- Brush Up on Your Bartering Skills: Maybe that slightly-used "Fearless" vinyl collection will finally come in handy.
