According to CBC News, Vancouver hotel rooms have already sold out for Taylor Swift’s 2024 concert dates.
When Taylor Swift announced Thursday she was bringing her mega-successful Eras tour to Vancouver’s B.C. Place for three concert dates next December, super-fan Emily Evans immediately went online to book a hotel room.
But then the 27-year-old Prince George, B.C., resident discovered in a panic that rooms for the entire Dec. 6, 2024, weekend were already booked when she picked up the phone. “It’s so brutal. I think I called 15 hotels yesterday and 12 were fully booked,” she says, adding another three weren’t taking reservations more than 12 months out.
The concerts are slated for Dec. 6, 7 and 8, 2024, at B.C. Place. It’s not clear what the financial spinoff effect of Swift’s performances in Vancouver will be just yet, but one University of Toronto business professor estimated Swift’s six-concert run in that city would generate as much as $700 million for the city, as fans book hotels, eat at restaurants and shop.
