No sweet music for Malaysian economy

Tickets for the six-show Taylor Swift tour in Singapore in March next year began selling online on Wednesday.

Just over an hour after the virtual ticket booth opened, more than 1.3 million eager fans, many Malaysians among them, were already in the queue.

A vast majority of them, including Malaysian fans, are going to be disappointed.

The national stadium in Singapore, where the concerts will be held, can accommodate about 55,000 people per show. Over six shows, only 330,000 will get to see her perform.


Tickets are priced at S$108 to S$348 (RM372 to RM1,200). At a more conservative average of RM500 a ticket, the organisers will rake in RM27.5 million per show, for a total of RM165 million over six performances.

That’s a lot of money to boost the economy.
