The cost of staging an open field show is higher than a stadium and if Taylor can make more money playing somewhere that's lower cost, she will, regardless of how the fans might feel about it.

But sometimes decisions have to be strategical, she should perform in Philippines even losing money (that’s not going to happen). Philippines is already her second bigger market in streaming, and their Spotify have not totally exploted yet, she can not damage that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Asian countries have multiple large stadiums. Philippines despite having 100 million population doesn’t have any. Guess she should skip Philippine’s and tour other Asian countries.

ronelmaano13 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Staging a stadium show would be extremely expensive. She needs to do at least 3 60k sold out dates to compensate for her flying everything to PH. Ticket prices would be a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoisonedIvy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Haunted last night, y’all don’t understand I am FERAL That was the first song I ever remember being a jaw dropping listen for me from Taylor. I have been wanting to hear that live for my entire life as a fan of hers, but I haven’t been able to because my first tour was Red. I’ve been to every tour since but she’s only done Haunted as a surprise song of course maybe like twice since the Speak Now Tour I NEED to hear it live, somehow, someway, someday.

She could just get rid of most of the catwalk and have only the main stage. I heard there's a huge arena that could have this type of show. 75k capacity stadium in Davao city will be completed by the end of this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MingYouToo Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 52 minutes ago, thisloveisntcrazy said: It was. She’s not compromising any part of the show, which is good. Philippines is such a struggle, and I’m really curious how her team handle this. She’s coming for blood with this tour, she’ll definitely do several SEA countries. Which doesn’t change the fact that Philippines simply does not have venue that can handle her I guess they might do an exception and do open field but as me and miss @wastedpotentialmentioned it seems nightmarish for Taylor. Only other solution I can think of is doing a literal month long residency with adjusted eras stage, but not making it part of your officially Imagine if she stays in the Philippines for a whole month just for the Filipinos the PH will NEVER stream any other artist after this I fear!

Cleanromantic Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 She can always downsize the catwalk when she goes to the Philippines like she did for the Red tour (even though the stage did not need to be downsized ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
