Here's How To Attend Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' In Vancouver For As Cheap As Possible

Attending on a $50 budget

Getting to the show: You can get to the stadium for the Eras Tour concert if you live in Vancouver or the surrounding areas but don't want to drive in and pay for parking.

• Transit — $3.15 to $6.20 for a one-way and $6.30 to $12.40 for a two-way bus or SkyTrain trip or $11.25 for a day pass

Places to eat: With $37.60 to $46.85 left in your budget, there are a few places to eat if you want to grab a bite before the concert starts.

• Uncle Faith's Pizza — $10.95 to $13.45 for a small pizza and $1.90 to $4.76 for a drink
• Tacofino — $10 for chips and guacamole, $8 for lemongrass chicken tacos, and $9 for a glass of sangria
• Maruhachi Ra-men — $16.80 for veggie curry ramen and $2.50 to $3 for pop or cold green tea

Merch: Now that you've spent between $16 and $39.50 on transit and food, can you afford to buy merch at the show?

You would have from $10.60 to $34 left in your budget so you could get an Eras Tour tote bag for $30, a water bottle for $25, or a glow baton for $15, based on what the prices were for the U.S. leg of the tour.

Attending on a $100 budget

Getting to the show: There are ways to get to the concert if you live in Vancouver or the surrounding areas either with transit or going by car and paying for parking.

• Transit — $3.15 to $6.20 for a one-way and $6.30 to $12.40 for a two-way bus or SkyTrain trip or $11.25 for a day pass
• Parking — $12.50 to $25 with Precise ParkLink at 180 W Georgia Street, $15 to $30 with Impark at 770 Pacific Boulevard or $15 to $30 with Impark at 688 Abbott Street

Places to eat: With $96.85 to $70 left in your $100 budget after getting to the stadium, you can splurge a little on a meal before the concert.

• The Greek — homous for $12, souvlaki platter for $27, and a caesar for $14
• Memphis Blues BBQ — pulled pork sandwich for $17, onion rings for $10, and pop for $5
• District Bar Restaurant — shrimp linguine for $24, spicy cauliflower bites for $16, and a Spanish coffee for $9
• Roxy Burger — Canadian Roxy burger for $16 and Montreal poutine for $12

Merch: Spending that much on transportation and food, you should have $17 to $68.85 remaining.

At the show, you could afford to get an Eras Tour crewneck for $65, a tote bag for $30, a show poster for $30, a water bottle for $25 or a glow baton for $15.

Attending on a $150 budget

Getting to the show: With a bigger budget, you can afford to pay for parking at lots that are closer to the stadium and therefore more expensive.

Of course, you can still take transit — which will be cheaper than parking — or walk or cycle to the show for free.

• Transit — $3.15 to $6.20 for a one-way and $6.30 to $12.40 for a two-way bus or SkyTrain trip or $11.25 for a day pass
• Parking — $20 to $30 with Impark at 603 Expo Boulevard, $25.50 with Indigo BC Place Stadium Parkade at 651 Expo Boulevard or $35.60 with Indigo BC Place Stadium East-West at 777 Pacific Boulevard

Places to eat: If you spend between $3.15 and $35.60 on transportation, you still have a good chunk of change left in your $150 budget to spend on dinner before the concert.

• Minami — $5 for miso soup, $8 for edamame, and $24 for eight ocean sushi rolls
• Homer St. Cafe and Bar — $19 for kale salad, $34 for a slow-cooked six-ounce brisket, and $9 for a butter tart
• Lupo — $10 for focaccia bread and $35 for spaghettini alla amatriciana

Merch: If you didn't spend a lot on transportation and food, you would have about $110 remaining and you could splurge on an Eras Tour hoodie ($75), a crewneck ($65) or a t-shirt ($45).

If you spent more money on food and travel, then you'd still have around $50 left in your budget.

So, you could still get a tote bag for $30, a show poster for $30, a water bottle for $25 or a glow baton for $15.

Plus: Not maxing out your budget on a meal before the show and merch items can leave you with money if you want to get food or drinks at BC Place during the three-hour concert.

Attending on a $200 budget

Getting to the show: There are ways to get to the concert if you live in Vancouver or the surrounding areas either by taking transit or driving to the stadium and paying for parking.

• Transit — $3.15 to $6.20 for a one-way and $6.30 to $12.40 for a two-way bus or SkyTrain trip or $11.25 for a day pass
• Parking — $35.60 with Indigo BC Place Stadium East-West at 777 Pacific Boulevard

Places to eat: Attending The Eras Tour with a $200 budget means you can splurge on a meal before the concert.

• The Victor — prawn cocktail for $29, bacon and frisée salad for $18, and filet mignon for $62
• Provence Marinaside — garlic parsley meatballs for $16, grilled avocado with baby shrimp for $17, and half chicken provencal for $38
• Cioppino's — caprese salad for $28, gnocchi cacio e pepe for $38, and tiramisu for $16
• Chambar — charcuterie for $27, la brochette de boeuf for $39, and a glass of rosé for $15

Merch: After spending around $85 to $130 on travel and food, you would still have enough money in your $200 budget to buy pretty much any merch you want since items at the U.S. concerts were priced between $15 and $75.

Plus: Even if you spent a lot on a meal and also bought merch, there's probably quite a bit left in your budget.

So, you could use that money for purchases in BC Place throughout the show — like more drinks and food — or after the concert if you want a slice of pizza or a box of Timbits.
