Swifties are more enchanted than ever and ready to show their support with flights to the two Australian cities. Which are up more than 100 per cent compared with this time last year.
Taylor's Aussie shows will host 620,000 fans over the next 10 days.
Air New Zealand's GM short haul Jeremy O’Brien says the airline has added 14 flights in addition to its existing services - including seven NZ1989 flights, created as a nod to her fifth studio album, 1989.
“Back in June 2023 when the concerts were announced, we added 14 flights and increased capacity on existing services to Australia around the concerts to get Kiwi Swifties to the shows. In the three days ahead of the concerts we have 63 flights into Sydney and 47 into Melbourne,” O’Brien says adding, “This includes seven NZ1989 flights as a special nod to Swifties onboard with us.”
We can't believe the set list 🤩 here's everything you need to know for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour in Australia 🪩
O’Brien says that across the concert dates, Air New Zealand will see over 20,000 customers travelling out of Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland on their services to Sydney and Melbourne with many of those passengers expected to be heading to see the Eras Tour. “We look forward to helping Swifties travel with us in style,” O’Brien said.
It comes after record-breaking ticket wars last year which saw an estimated 800,000 fans flock to the Ticketek website during its two pre-sale events in an attempt to secure tickets. Following the “unprecedented demand”, extra dates were added to the popstar’s Australian leg of the tour as well as additional ticket releases in the lead-up to the concerts.
Swift will be the second ever artist to perform three concerts at the MCG – the first was Madonna – and she will also be the first artist ever to perform four concerts at Accor Stadium.
