Taylor Swift will be bringing her Eras Tour to Ireland next summer and fans are already speculating about how much they can expect to pay for tickets.
The US superstar announced last month that she will be bringing the show to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29.
In an update last week, the 33-year-old confirmed 14 new shows across Europe, including a third Dublin date on Sunday, June 30.
The surprises didn’t end there though, as the All Too Well hitmaker also named Paramore as the opening act.

Although ticket sales won't begin until next week, eager Swifties are doing anything they can to find ways to be in with a chance of getting their hands on some, including speculating on how much tickets will cost.
Ticket prices for Taylor Swift Eras Tour US
For the US tour which Taylor is currently on, tickets were set to go on sale to the public on November 18, 2022 but there were issues with Ticketmaster's website crashing due to overwhelming demand.
This led to the cancellation of the public on-sale meaning many fans were forced to buy them through pricey resale vendors.
Those who were lucky enough to get tickets when they briefly went on sale are expected to have paid between $49 (€40) and $449 (€409) each across all US venues.
Most fans, however, were forced to purchase tickets through resale vendors at heavily inflated prices, making it hard to ascertain exactly just how deep they had to dig.
At the start of the 20-city, 52-date US leg of the tour, Vivid Tickets did a comparison on 'cheap' tickets for Taylor.
Back in March, ticket prices started from $289 (€206) rising to as much as $1,778 (€1,620), with prices varying depending on location, as below:
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas - $307 to $718
AT & T Stadium, Arlington - $387 to $990
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa - $323 to $1374
NRG Stadium, Houston - $3763 to $1116
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta - $466 to $1499
Nissan Stadium, Nashville - $392 to $1293
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia - $527 to $1213
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough - $650 - $1645
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford - $604 - £1778
Soldier Field, Chicago - $632 - $908
Ford Field, Detroit - $475 to $849
Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh - $443 to $792
US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis - $361 - $750
Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati - $554 - $1112
Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City - $403 - $728
Empower Field, Denver - $327 - $849
Lumen Field, Seattle - $460 - $1253
Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara - $427 - $1213
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood - $289 - $954
According to the Vivid Tickets website today, prices for the remaining shows are being offered for well in excess of $1,100 (€1,002)for her upcoming Denver, Seattle and California shows.
How much will tickets cost for Taylor Swift Eras Tour in Dublin?
Prices have yet to be officially confirmed for the European leg of the tour, but one thing is for sure, fans will do whatever it takes to get their hands on them.
The battle for tickets is likely to be incredibly fierce as Ticketmaster has enforced strict rules on the buying process, with registered fans being selected at random for a chance to purchase.
In order to try and secure a ticket ahead of the sale, some fans in the UK have already gone as far as to book hospitality packages at selected venues paying as much as £750 (€877) per person for a Diamond Package at Wembley Stadium.
In Edinburgh, fans sold out hospitality packages, with tickets costing £275 (€321), £440 (€514) or a whopping £550 (€643) just for one ticket.
Over at Anfield in Liverpool, fans clambered to buy any one of the five hospitality packages available for £249 (€291), £349 (€408) or £449 (€525) a piece.
Hospitality packages across all UK venues are now believed to be sold out and despite their high prices, fans appear to have been willing to pay any amount to secure their tickets.
Meanwhile some eagle-eyed fans believe they have figured out how much tickets could cost.
By estimating how much tickets have sold for in the US and looking at similar shows in Europe, fans have come up with a map they believe might reflect the pricing of the show. However it is worth noting that it is highly speculative.
Posted on the Swifters 2.0 fan group on Facebook, which boasts more than 80,000 followers, the map suggests prices could start at around £49 (€57) for 'side view' seats towards the back of the stage.
Some side view seats - presumably with a better view - are also speculated to be on sale for around the £75 (€87) mark.
The better seats in the house could be going for anywhere between £95 (€110) and £160 (€185).
Those looking to stand at the show could be looking at around £95 (€110) a ticket, while anyone wanting to get up as close to the stage as possible with golden circle tickets might need to shell out for £150 (€174) for the opportunity.
While there is no way of really knowing how much Irish ticket prices will be until the moment they go on sale, it is a nice idea of what fans could be looking to pay.
