we were part of the whole ticketmaster debacle. super excited because i've been like a swiftie my whole life and i think it's going to be like amazing because so many people were like, like, do this. do that. so it's been also a little bit stressful to tickets to the show. start at about $1,000 tickets on the floor. they're reselling for almost $7,000. it's one of the most popular tickets you can get your hands on this year. and fans aren't just going to the show. many of them are staying here in the south bay and contributing to the local economy splurging not just on tickets, but on meals, hotels, clothes. many fans will go all out to dress up as their favorite taylor swift era. now according to fortune, a new report suggests that the eras tour has the potential to generate $4.6 billion in consumer spending, making this one of the most significant tours of all time for its impact on the economy. now, in other cities, a lot of people are outside of the arena. they're basically having their own party outside. if they don't have tic

so tickets sold out pretty immediately on ticketmaster resale prices remain over $1000 on secondary sites. there's also a consumer warning the super fans or fans about scams. if you're purchasing some tickets. we did go online at this morning on stubhub to see what the prices are for tickets. if you want to purchase a day, the lowest we found was 9.15, a high most expensive. was 9,700. back to you. >> and by the way, to don't forget, when you pay the 900, whatever it was, you have all these add-on fees. so you're looking at 1000 bucks for a nosebleed. >> pretty penny all right. thanks a lot. and tiffany, as you were saying, want to just give you a little more information on the center for a strain schedule. >> because they have their services operating 20 minutes earlier than regularly scheduled times this afternoon ahead of the concert lines 2055, 57 59. they say be prepared. there will be delays. and the service is set to begin at 4.30 today. and tomorrow trains will run continuously for at at least one hour after the show's end to help clear the crowds as quickly as possible. in the ea

some of the lucky ones, they actually bought their tickets way in advance that dad bought them on ticketmaster ahead of time, only paid around $300 a ticket, which still quite a bit, but not as much as people will have to shell out. now on the ticket resellers, they are going for about $700 right now. they were 1000. they've come down a bit. so still some time to get your ticket. if you haven't got your ticket or you can't get a ticket. well, as taylor swift would say, you are on your own kid. see what i did there? i know the song. we do see what you did there. okay so from your vantage point, are there still really, really long lines that we saw earlier from skyfox? because it seems like with that many fans, levi stadium is used to letting in people if they have a ticket. but those lines were so long. so i'm curious, are people still waiting to get in or is it pretty much smooth sailing here? well, i mean, take a look. i mean, this is kind of a really fine tuned operation, at least at this point. you know, they have multiple lines, multiple security checkpoints to let these people in. so the

comes to mergers and acquisitions is there a tendency, a risk that a combination, a livenation/ticketmasterill end up harming consumers that's what the merger statute says, it's taking a look at risks that things will get worse and it involves a prediction and the chicago school of economics has basically taught us that let's just tighten the standard, require the government to prove a certainty rather than a risk or a tendency. so i don't think we need new law. we just need more fair application of the law that congress wrote >> so what is your takeaway, then, of what we've seen play out in the u.s. court system because i realize there's still a european and uk specifically regulatory situation going on. specifically in the u.s. court system around microsoft and activision >> well, first of all, the ftc was unable to prevent the acquisition from taking place. but in the course of the u.s. investigation, the european investigation, and the uk investigation microsoft effectively conceded that without commitments it had both the incentive and the ability to favor itself and its gaming system
