Resale ticket prices for sold out Taylor Swift shows still soaring

Taylor Swift fans who are still hoping to snag tickets to the second leg of the pop star's Eras Tour in Toronto still face steep resale prices.

The cheapest tickets available on resale websites for the sold out Rogers Centre shows this week are still coming in at over $2,000 a pop and that's for a restricted view in a standing-room only section.

Tickets with a seat though still with an obstructed or limited view will run fans closer to $2,800.

And if you're looking to be in the lower bowl or on the floor for the show, you'd best have some serious cash kicking around. Those prices were all north of $3,500 Thursday morning, with some even veering into over $4,300 for a single seat.

Police are also warning resale ticket buyers to be cautious of scams, with dozens of people already having been duped.

A Halton police media relations officer says people should be careful before buying concert tickets from third party vendors after dozens of people who thought they would be seeing Taylor Swift perform in Toronto this month have, reportedly, fallen victim to a scam totalling over $70,000.

Tens of thousands of Swift fans will again flood the streets downtown over the course of these shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday part of the star's record-breaking Eras Tour, which is the first tour in history to gross over $1 billion.

Up to half a million visitors are expected in the city between the entirety of Swift's shows in the city this month. According to non-profit tourism agency Destination Toronto, the concerts are expected to create up to $282 million in economic impact.
