Taylor Swift’s tour is almost over — and Marriott Bonvoy is giving away tickets to the last show
Time is running out to see Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" — but Marriott Bonvoy, one of the tour's official sponsors, is offering one more way to see the show.
Marriott is giving away a full experience package to the very last show, happening Dec. 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia. One lucky winner will get two tickets, airfare, two nights of hotel accommodations and a Marriott Bonvoy welcome gift.
U.S. citizens 18 and over can enter by visiting the sweepstakes website before 11:59 p.m. EST on Nov. 4.
According to the official rules, the prize is worth $4,949, but if you know anything about getting tickets to Taylor's U.S. and Canada shows, you probably know that scoring even a nosebleed seat can cost nearly that much (or more, sometimes).
And with the tour coming to an end, people are willing to pay top prices for tickets, accommodations and flights.
For Swift's Indianapolis dates in early November, the city's Airbnb searches were up a whopping 1,400%, TPG previously reported. Flight searches were up 120%, according to data from Expedia.
While we all hope to win Marriott's giveaway for the last-ever "Eras" show, it's worth noting that during the two-year tour run, many people got creative with points and miles to see Taylor.
I, for example, saved a small fortune when I was able to snag tickets secondhand to a show in Atlanta, thanks to a few thousand Delta Air Lines miles and a great use of Marriott Bonvoy points.
Whether you're a Swiftie or not, it's safe to say that "The Eras Tour" was a generation-defining event — one that had dramatic positive effects on local economies and made "gig tripping," or concert-focused tourism, one of the biggest trends in the industry.
