I just watched most of Taylor Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour on Netflix. I love Taylor and have been to a couple of her concerts. I wasn't really interested in going to this one because the concerts were held in stadiums - just too large of a venue for me. I really enjoyed skipping through the songs and watching parts of them. But, what was even more fun was watching the audience; men, women, teens, younger kids, moms, dads, families... it nearly brought me to tears watching them so in the moment and LOVING being at the concert.
It's good to see joy.

I know someone who is a huge Taylor fan and went to this concert twice. 2 different cities! She loved it. I would have loved to go, but concert tickets are sky high for someone this big. Worth it, I'm sure, but hard for me to justify. One of these days I'll break down and just do it!

I'm old school and miss the days when concert ticket prices were $10 for the good seats...LOL! I saw Queen back in the late 70's in Providence, RI and I only paid $10.
From what I've heard, Taylor Swift puts on a good show so I'm sure people feel like they're getting their money's worth.
I'll check it out on Netflix.

I saw her on her 1984 tour and it was awesome. I'm not a huge fan, but I do like her music. I liked her even more after the concert. She puts on a spectacular show!

Pretty sure she might not have been alive in 1984.  My daughter was SO excited to go to her concert last May... BUT didn't realize she already booked to be in Paris with me at the same time. She was SO bummed out.. at least Paris was a decent 2nd place.. haha |

I don’t know if this is true, but when I taught business law and we talked about copyright laws, one of my students told me that musicians used to go on concert tours not to make money, but to promote album sales. He said that in the digital age, when music is so readily available for free on sites like Pandora, musicians actually depend on concerts to make money and that is why concert tickets have gotten so expensive. |

My whole family (9 of us in total) went in the summer and it was one of highlights of the year... my four year old enjoyed it the most out of everyone. We had floor seats so I had to hold her all night, and man, that child danced like wild. She successfully perfected several moves, including one I called The Black Eye, and another called Thrash Around.  My arms hurt for days but I still smile when I think about what an amazing night it was. |

I remember hearing the same about used to be for album sales. Interesting about the change and it makes sense. |

My husband joined her fan club specifically for decent ticket prices on this concert. Plus we had to drive a fair distance to attend. It was myself, my husband and some 13 year old girls. OH. MY. WORD what an absolute fun time we all had. We were also familiar with the music of the opening act. It was definitely a family atmosphere with the parents seeming to have as much fun as all the tween/teen girls did. There were other folks from my hometown there (who also go to our church) in their mid to late 20s. The boyfriend of one of the girls declared he left there a fan. It was probably one of the best "shows" I have seen.

I saw this one in New Orleans. It was a really good show. I don't know where she gets the stamina! I didn't have that much energy, even at her age, and both of the pre-show acts were good, too.
The tickets were INSANELY expensive and hard to get. You had to sign up in advance and then you were in a lottery for a time to buy tickets. Mine was a specific hour on the 4th day, and my choices were nosebleed seats or VIP seats on the floor. I never would have gone with the good seats if I wasn't traveling with a friend (and our daughters) who wanted good seats.

We watched it last night and it was fun to see it again. We saw the tour in Seattle and it was amazing.

Took my daughter to her concert last year and I was not as impressed due to the amount of money I paid. It was a fantastic concert but not paying that amount again. HONESTLY, i really liked Katie Perry (not even much of a fan) concert better, I would go again. Very entertaining and spent less than half the cost.

We watched the first 30 minutes last night and my daughter was crying and laughing at the same time recalling when we saw the show live in May. I signed up for the presale and I did surveys form the site for months, every single day. We had floor seats that we were thrilled about and then the night of the show as we walked to our seats we discovered our seats did not exist, not at all. They changed the floor and eliminated entire rows. My 23yo daughter was freaking out as I tried to assure her it would be fine. Long story short after a few hiccups we ended up in the front row of one of the X's. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that. The seats had been selling for face value for $750 and no way could I or would I have ever paid that. We were so lucky and I will never forget the look on my daughter's face, tears streaming down it as she watched (and danced) in awe the entire night. I am grateful for the employee who made the possible bad situation better than we could have ever imagined. My daughter is a HUGE Taylor fan, her number one favorite singer. My son snapped a photo of his sister with that emotional face at the show, posting it on his instagram because he was so excited for her. We LOVED the show! Hope to finish reliving it tonight.
