After a whirlwind tour in the United States, Taylor Swift has announced a 2024 UK and European leg of her sell-out 'Eras Tour' playing across four UK cities next summer. Thousands of fans are expected to try and buy tickets for what's expected to be one of the biggest artist events.
The last time Taylor performed in the UK was back in 2015 during her 1989 tour, now she's scheduled to perform a total of nine shows in the UK with four gigs in London, two in both Liverpool and Edinburgh, as well as one in Cardiff. Following this, she'll also play 16 European shows with France, Netherlands, Germany and Spain on the list.
Looking at her recent US tour, tickets are expected to cost anywhere from £100 up to £800 when the sale starts on Ticketmaster and Live Nation, although costs are yet to be confirmed. We've kept a close eye on the rising US tour prices, which fluctuate between $289 all the way up to $1778 depending on the location and ticket type.
Ticket prices for Taylor's Las Vegas show, for example, varied between $300 and $700, whereas tickets fluctuated between $500 and $1200 for her Philadelphia show. For many fans spending that amount on one night is not justifiable, but ahead of the sale music platforms have launched deals to help fans access Taylor's music.
Including Apple Music, which fans could make the most of to listen without spending hundreds of pounds. All be it we know it's not the same as attending in person but it's worth sharing for Taylor Swift fans and music fans in general.
Make the most of Apple's free trial
Like any subscription trial, Apple lets users trial the service for free to see if it's worth buying. Essentially this means listeners could get it for a month, and stream as much Red or Anti-Hero as possible before ending at the end of the month, all for free.
After the initial trial month, the price rises to £10.99 a month, but users can avoid the first monthly cost as long as they opt out within a month of their sign-up date. A similar one-month trial can also be done for the Apple One service, which bundles six services into one subscription plan.
Afterwards Apple One raises to £16.99 a month for individual users, £22.95 a month for its family plan, or £32.95 a month for its premier plan. For the price users get a whole lot more than music streaming as it includes iCloud storage, tv+, fitness and news.
Six months of free Apple Music with AirPod purchase
This is our most-favoured Apple Music deal, as shoppers can get six months for free with any AirPod, HomePod Mini or Beats headphones purchase. The range of products is also uite varied as it includes the AirPods Pro, both the 2nd and 3rd Generation AirPods and the AirPods Max.
Another perk is that you don't have to have just bought a pair to qualify and it stands for both new shoppers and existing users of the products. New users have 90 days after the first initial pairing to get the six months free, where as existing users have 90 days from after their last iOS or iPadOS software upgrade.
More information on how to redeem can be found, here, as well as where to buy the latest audio products in order to claim the free six month deal. It may not sound like a significant amount but this deal will give all users a saving of £65 across the six months.
Buying an Apple tech product isn't the only way shoppers can get six months free Apple Music as providers including EE and O2 have launched a simialar deal on its Apple products, although users aren't restricted to audio products.
At O2 it's included with any new Plus Plan contract and EE offer an Apple One plan with any iPhone contract as long as it's on its 'Full Works Plan'.
