When Taylor Swift brings her acclaimed 'Eras Tour' to Singapore next March, Qayyum Lukman will be one of the lucky 300,000 fans in the audience
When Swift brings her acclaimed "Eras Tour" to Singapore next March, Lukman will be one of the 300,000 fans - called "Swifties" - in the audience for one of the six shows in the city state.
But many "Swifties" across the region of more than half a billion, couldn't get a ticket, partly as a result of a post-pandemic spike in demand for concerts and entertainment. The demand has led to rising prices that some economists have termedHolders of UOB bank credit cards were given preferred access, prompting a 45% surge in daily credit card applications in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam the week Swift announced her concert dates, according to media.
Last month, British band Coldplay saw similar "overwhelming demand" according to LiveNation Singapore, and added an extra three nights in Singapore despite playing a night each in Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila and Kuala Lumpur in the coming months. Showing his "Swiftie" credentials, Thailand's leading candidate for prime minister Pita Limjareonrat asked the singer to swing by Bangkok, where she had cancelled a performance in 2014 due to a coup.
