The Most Expensive Cities for Concert Tickets Revealed

By Michael Vincent on June 3, 2024

FinanceBuzz has released a deep dive into the resale ticket market to uncover where fans are shelling out the most and least for concert tickets. Analyzing data from over 20 major cities, they found some fascinating trends.

Biggest spenders: If you’re in San Francisco, brace yourself — resale concert tickets here cost 29% more on average compared to other cities. Close behind is Toronto with prices soaring 26% above average. Music lovers in these cities are paying a hefty premium to catch their favourite acts.

Budget-friendly: On the flip side, Nashville is a haven for budget-conscious fans, with resale tickets priced 27% below average. Las Vegas isn’t far off, offering tickets at 25% less than the norm. So, if you’re planning a musical pilgrimage, Music City and Sin City are your best bets for affordable entertainment.

Taylor’s price tag: Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dominated the pricing charts. Median ticket prices exceeded $2,000 in six cities, peaking at $2,907 in NYC. Phoenix fans, however, snagged a bargain with tickets at just $353.

Queen Bey’s reign: Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour saw the priciest tickets in her hometown of Houston at $932, while Phoenix once again offered the lowest at $103.

Bottom line? Location matters. Whether you’re chasing the Toronto Symphony or Beyoncé, knowing where to score the best deals can make a world of difference.
