Fans book cheaper Glasgow hotels for Edinburgh concerts by Taylor Swift as demand soars
With Swifties set to flock to Edinburgh for the pop culture event of the summer, Glasgow is experiencing its own Taylor-bounce as hotel bosses report a “sharp rise in demand” for the city’s rooms.
Hundreds of thousands of Taylor Swift fans from across Scotland and beyond will make the trip to the capital for the Eras Tour shows, with the ‘Cruel Summer’ singer expected to break all records for Scotland’s biggest stadium show ever when she performs at Murrayfield Stadium on June 7, 8, and 9.
Recently, Edinburgh City Council granted organisers permission to increase the stadium’s capacity from 67,130 to 72,990. The subsequent spike in demand means many fans who have already paid up to £660 for a ticket have been priced out of stays in the city.
