What would Brits give up to see Taylor Swift? It might surprise you!

As a die-hard fan of Taylor Swift who has been left out in the cold every time her concert tickets go on sale, reading about this survey feels like a cruel reminder of my own showering habits and vacation plans. I mean, skipping a shower for a month? That’s dedication! I’ve skipped showers before concerts, but never for an entire month.


1. One way to rephrase: The Eras Tour is undoubtedly one of the largest and most desired concerts for obtaining tickets. If you’ve managed to secure a ticket, it likely means that several others who are equally eager to watch Taylor Swift have been left empty-handed.

Although many believed the tour would continue indefinitely, Swift has disclosed that it will conclude in December. Consequently, ticket demand has soared as fans rush to purchase tickets, regardless of location.

SeatPick realized this and chose to engage in a conversation with 3,000 Brits about how far they would travel to watch their preferred artist perform. It’s worth noting that the answers might catch you off guard, but given my eagerness (as someone who hasn’t been to the Eras Tour yet) to attend, I can certainly empathize.

Kicking things off with enthusiasm, I asked fellow gamers what they’d be ready to forego to catch their favorite musician in action, and the top answer left me surprised – “Go without showering for a whole month.” You read it correctly! Over three-quarters of respondents are prepared to forgo personal hygiene for that long just to witness their beloved artist perform. Now, I can’t deny it – that’s some serious devotion, and I can’t help but admire their passion.

Seatpick shared even more people would give up for a concert.

The most popular choice was abstaining from showering for an entire month, but more than half of respondents said they would also forgo a vacation if necessary – this might be the vacation you’re planning to attend the Eras Tour. Almost half of the participants stated they would camp outside the venue for a week in order to secure tickets, which is a practice that has been seen before. Remarkably, some people were willing to drastic measures such as shaving off all their hair or missing their own wedding – something I didn’t anticipate having to write about.

Approximately half of the individuals unable to purchase tickets due to cost constraints turn to their friends or relatives for financial aid. Some go as far as dipping into their mortgage or rental payments, an action I find surprising. A quarter of people opt to pick up additional jobs or side gigs to cover the costs, a decision I can appreciate given the desire to attain desired items often requires some effort and perseverance.

Regarding the cost, many individuals would be willing to spend between £150 and £300 for a single ticket, which translates approximately to $167 – $334. To be honest, that’s not an unreasonable price for concert tickets, considering I’ve paid more to watch the Jonas Brothers perform. However, everyone has their own preferences. Overall, this article provided a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into the lengths fans go to witness their favorite artist.
