    Meanwhile, tickets in Norway:

    • X Ambassadors - ca. $45 (February 2024)
    • Jason Derulo - ca. $60 (March 2024)
    • Jonas Brothers - ca. $60 (June 2024)


    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)_/¯

    there’s nowhere nearby they could travel to efficiently and perform again.


    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

      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.
