When Taylor Swift played two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA the train tickets from Boston to the stadium sold out for the show dates. As did all the parking passes.
So, not only were the actual concert tickets being scalped, so were the train and parking.
I heard that the one of the European(I think France) bought out the Ritz Carlton Hotel for their soccer team. The ENTIRE hotel for the World Cup. Which is in downtown Boston right by Boston Common. Foxboro(Gillette Stadium) is an hour drive away to the SW.
Well that’s the point. Taylor Swift was not asked to subsidize the MTA. The NJ Transit makes money when ridership increases. They should add trains and increase capacity instead of scalping tickets. Imagine what the scalpers will charge for the train rides.
