Do you think Hybe will try to surpass the Revenue Record of Eras Tour at $2.077 Billion?

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is the largest concert tour in human history, with 141 stops, 10.1 million attendance and a revenue of $2.077 billion.

It is estimated that the current schedule of BTS' tour will have about 81 days, and earning maybe $1 billion.

Curiously, it has fewer stops in North America and Europe, where more revenues are expected, and more stops in Latin America and Southeast Asia, with unreliable numbers which Touring Data might not count.

When BTS' archenemy toured the world in 2024, Touring Data simply refused to calculate her tour portions outside of USA, and only counted her 6 stops in USA. Touring Data might do the same for BTS this time.

BTS added some dates in USA, although the schedule given precludes such possibilities in Europe and LATAM.

There are some unannounced portion of tours to be revealed sometime in early 2027.

If all members agree, they could extend the tour to 2028, which will probably make it able to exceed Taylor Swift's records, although chances are she will announce a new tour in 2027 to thwart them when that becomes a possibility.

Given how Hybe has behaved, it is quite possible that Hybe will try to up the ante in 2027, to try to surpass Taylor Swift's 2 billion. Although the figure will probably be less than the 'inflation adjusted amount' after all is said and done, Hybe will push for the raw number to exceed 2.077 billion just to show BTS' power to the world.

I think that will be meaningless , since Taylor Swift became the Person of the Year in 2023, an honor BTS will NEVER get thanks to the Korean incels, and has entered the history books while BTS will have to share the spot with BlackPink, Twice, Stray Kids and BTS' archenemy mentioned above, but Hybe is the kind of the company which does put an importance to such labels

Quote from elsie-laurie

it depends. I've never gotten the impression that BTS were as big as her in terms of swiftie spending power? Do you think they are?

In 2021-22 BTS had no equals on the earth

A fact only Korean incels failed to see

Quote from monalisalove

I thought you said they were has been and could never surpass her, what happened?

They won't, but Hybe will try

Quote from qamar-atti

ummm dont know, they might surpass her audience numbers tho.

But bts tickets are actually cheap this time if you compare them to bruno, taylor etc. They did not choose dynamic pricing also. So, who knows.....

Not this time. Korean tickets have gotten more expensive

If Hybe thinks it has a shot of surpassing 2.077 billion it will change its strategy

Quote from PositiveVibes

I don’t think it matters honestly, someone will eventually surpass it anyways, due to the thing called inflation 😊

Getting its place in the record books is very important

Quote from Seoged

Didn't you say that BTS's tour wouldn't even surpass the senior singer's? What makes you think they can threaten TS's record?

An individual member's tour would not surpass IU's

Hybe is now adding dates to BTS' concert schedules. Whether that is sufficient to overcome TS's record remains to be seen

Quote from Kitty_Saurus

Well HYBE will earn more than 1 billion usd from the concert and merch of this tour so it doesn't matter that much...

Bang threw away the future of Hybe just to spite Min.

He has to make that sum up

Quote from PositiveVibes

Well, not to the members, if you listen to their lives, they just seem to be excited to get back to touring and see their fans. They’re pretty loaded (rich) anyways lol. So really it’s just the company and some of the fans who perhaps want that record…….it doesn’t matter because ultimately it’s what the artist wants that’s important. And you can tell the guys didn’t care and the company obviously complied with their request because they didn’t do dynamic pricing 😊

In other words giving up the chance to compete in the world stage, which is interesting,

Then Jungkook would probably not have dated a local girl, I guess (aespa is famous in Asia but not that so for the rest of the world).
