Even Norway wouldn’t pay the ticket costs. You realize that taking a tour to Norway, when there’s no other reasonable options for shows nearby means Norwegians would be paying a massive premium for the artist to get there right?
Lesser known artists don’t have the overhead global super stars do. Selling 50k tickets in Norway, would have to be thousands of dollars each to cover the costs because there’s nowhere nearby they could travel to efficiently and perform again.
You live in a far away place surrounded by places that don’t have a high level of expendable income. I live in a similarly hard to access, not wealthy place and wouldn’t expect Taylor Swift or the like to be passing thru at all.
What’s Taylor’s tickets going for now? I’ve never considered Norway anything other than a very wealthy country. That’s not really the issue it hand here though. The issue is that it’s very remote and traveling there is very expensive which would need to be factored into ticket prices which are already very high on these tours that we’re seeing. That you think these concerts easily pack up onto a plane or a freaking car just shows you have no idea the scale of performance that you’re talking about. Jason Derulo does not have near the stage setup that someone like Taylor Swift would have. That’s just an indisputable fact.
Also, and serious question…if these artists thought they could make money do you think they intentionally skip your country? These are now billion dollar events. They have actuaries that tell them where they can maximize their profits. They can’t make their money in Norway so they don’t go. Just like they can’t make their money in Regina Saskatchewan so they don’t go.

You realize I am Norwegian and know what people here are willing to pay for seeing less known artists go live.
Just check prices for anything live at Oslo spectrum, or DNB Arena.

Meanwhile, tickets in Norway:
Similar prices for when Taylor Swift was here last…
Most people in Norway have a good salary, and live very comfortably. Most Norwegians can afford to go to concerts or other entertainment.
Norway is far from some Third World country, that apparently seem to be what some people think.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What? Like airplanes don’t exist? Or idk this thing called cars?
Travelling in, to or from Norway is far from difficult or expensive
6-hour drive, Oslo - Stockholm
6-hour drive, Oslo - Copenhagen
