That math is not mathing. And if most of the money went to Taylor Swift in the form of tickets, how does that help the city?
LOL
Good lord! How do some of you even function in daily life.

Who is responsible for city services?
The city, but how much money does the state pump in for law enforcement, the Dome, roads, drainage, tourism, movies, etc.?

I cried, Rog.
My wife held me in her arms and consoled me as I whispered "This is all I ever wanted" to myself.

I wonder if the City will use that to make the tourist areas less of a shithole. (They won't)
The argument I see is they cleaned up for her but didn’t for Beyoncé. And stores stayed open but don’t for bayou classic.

San Fran did that for the Chinese contingency visit. The USSR did this for Western visitors.
Failed governments use band aids to cover massive, unfixable wounds.

$1,300 x 160,000 is not $500M.

200,000 tickets sold x $1300= $260,000,000. Where do they come up with the other $240,000,000?
The hotels, food, rides, etc are included in the average $1300 number. The additional amount is likely due to a multiplier often used in these economic impact studies that attempt to capture the future chain reaction of spending by the employees , businesses, etc that received the direct and ancillary spending by the swifties.
Like the Vette guy earlier, I think a lot of these economic impact studies wildly over estimate the economic impact to justify additional future spending. Without the details on how the study was performed or what multipliers were used and why, there is no way to know how accurate this number might be.
