Europe has tougher laws on ticket fees and reselling. The result?

Tickets to Taylor Swift's European tour, air fare + hotel can cost LESS than one of her concert tickets in the US.

If that's not another reminder that we need to crack down on Ticketmaster, I'm not sure what is.

@rbreich you'll have to discount #Greece, which is run by a PM who is notorious for being a hardline, anti-democratic neoliberal with strong ties to certain funds like CVC.

@rbreich One of my friends is doing just that- flying a family of four from California to Warsaw for a Taylor Swift concert, and saving money in the process.

@rbreich We went to Disneyland Paris since we are quietly boycotting Florida. It cost less than a DisneyWorld vacation including international airfare, hotel and food. Yes, there are only two parks in Paris as opposed to multiple parks in Orlando. But we loved it and are already planning a return soon. It’s more than just overpriced ticket to consider if you go to a concert in Europe.

I'd say we also need to stop subsidising airlines.
