    SOME of the lucky ones who snagged tickets to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Singapore are getting ready for it – there has been a surge in searches and bookings for flights and accommodation.

    The international pop star will play six concerts between Mar 2 and Mar 9 next year. In both the Jul 5 presale and Jul 7 general sale, tickets sold out within hours.

    Official packages offered by activity-booking platform Klook, which bundled two concert tickets with a night’s stay in a hotel, sold out within six hours on Jul 7.
