All over the world, who has the most appeal and who has the most difficulty getting concert tickets, I think everyone will say Taylor Swift. Although "Mildew" held an "unprecedented" ** meeting in Vancouver, the scale of this ** meeting is still not small.
According to major news organizations, hotel occupancy rates in downtown Vancouver will set a new record in early December 2024.
On December 5th, 6th, and 7th, which happened to be the night before the Swift Vancouver meeting, all the hotel rooms** within a few kilometers of BC Plaza exceeded 1,000 Canadian dollars, and the highest even reached 3,000 Canadian dollars!
Under normal circumstances, Vancouver is in early December, because Christmas has not yet arrived, and the tourist season has not yet arrived, so this year's hotels ** are two or three thousand. Just one superstar, Swift, has doubled the rate of this hostel tenfold, which has never happened before.
For example, Bestwestern Plus Breakfast Shop in the city has a minimum room price of 972 as of December 74. The lowest room rate for non-members is up to 1100!
The Bestwestern Hotel on Granville Street is the most outrageous, with rooms sold out on December 6 and 8, with the lowest room rate on December 7 and 8 being $1,900 and a whopping $2,249 for non-members.
After the meeting, the room rate will be $180 to $200 per night. At the Quality Inn at the lower end of downtown Vancouver, the cheapest room for the 3rd meeting was $1200 and dropped to $156 after the meeting.
Too expensive? Sorry, if you're a die-hard fan of a few nearby cities, no matter how high it is, you have to make a reservation, because the nearby hotels, such as Days Inn, Holiday Inn, are full during the **meeting!
Not in the city? The price is the same.
Some people may say, "Why can't I be outside of the city?" "I really can't do it, so I rent a car, take a bus, take a taxi.
However, after checking it, even if it is 20 kilometers away from the Metrotown Hilton, the ticket price of a ** meeting will be tripled. Far away, the rent of the hotel is three or five times more expensive than usual!
To the beach? I'm sorry, but in North Windsdale, the lowest room has risen to 1800 yuan!
Is it enough to spend some time at the airport in Vancouver? After further searching, we also found a number of hotels, including Sandman, which had room rates above 800 for the night of the meeting.
The most outrageous is Abbotsford, although it will be far away from their **, but the Coastal Hotel where they are located, the room rate has soared from $200 to $800!
Foreigners' pursuit of celebrities is actually called "bankruptcy trip"?
As a world-class superstar, Swift's ** event in Vancouver will not only attract more fans, but also a large number of fans from nearby Victoria, Seattle, Kelowna, Calgary, Portland, these places.
Someone else joked that unless you are rich, you can't come all the way here to listen to Swift's ** meeting, once or three times, and the cost is definitely a huge amount of money.
First of all, the cost of accommodation for three nights is more than 3,000 Canadian dollars, and the airfare for three months is thousands of Canadian dollars, not counting transportation and food. An "easy" trip to the star cost nearly $10,000 CAD.
Of course, for those who are really brain-dead fans, it is worth paying no amount in order to be able to see their idols with their own eyes. Taylor Swift has set off a huge "whirlwind" in Vancouver, and he thinks no other singer can compare to it.
BC Ferries will be added to the frequency of the **.
In order to attract more viewers to Vancouver to see the stars, BC Post ** also "made an exception": the flight from Greater Wincuowassen to Victoria Bay will have a total of 22 flights this weekend!
Deborah Marshall, a spokeswoman for BP, said in an email: "We understand that there will be a large number of islanders flocking to Vancouver, but if it is still the same as before, some people will not have tickets, so we want them all to have a chance to get on the bus." ”
However, BC Group also said that this is not the first time they have added flights due to the arrival of singers, with the most recent time being in Elton. John's ** meeting. In 2021, he was considered the most popular male singer of all time, after The Beatles and Madonna.
However, Taylor Swift is only 35 years old this year, but he can compete with the bigwigs in the music world, which shows how influential he is.
By the time the event is underway, Vancouver's popularity will reach unprecedented heights.
Ten times as many hotels, more ferries, Vancouver can be said to be unprecedentedly popular when it is in Swift, and even Vancouver's fireworks contest is not as popular as 126 to 128.
BC Plaza has a capacity of 54,500 spectators, and the three shows** will draw more than 160,000 spectators to downtown Vancouver, in addition to tens of thousands of spectators gathered outside the stadium and in nearby hotels, the number of which will be incalculable.
According to the statistics of reporters, Taylor Swift's fans will pay an average of 1,700 Canadian dollars for this ** meeting. Vancouver's ** will inevitably happen".
Last year, during a ** meeting in Seattle, Swift caused a 2Crazy celebration at level 3. And the "magnitude" of Vancouver will also be on a higher level!
