"The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I'm overjoyed to tell you that it'll be coming to the big screen soon," Swift wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Tickets for the concert film went on sale Thursday. They were available for purchase by using the link shared by Swift in her X post. Additionally, AMC said tickets will be sold on AMCTheatres.com and Fandango.com. After clicking on the link in Swift's X post, fans may be prompted to wait in a queue but eventually will be able to try to purchase tickets.
Newsweek reached out to AMC via email for further comment.
In a press release announcing the concert film, AMC said over 3 million people have attended the Eras concerts so far, with "tens of millions of adoring fans wanting more, either because they attended the concert and wanted to see it again, or after being unable to obtain tickets for sold out performance after sold out performance after sold out performance."
The release said the concert film will play "at least four showtimes per day on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, at every AMC theatre location in the United States. To ensure the theatrical event is accessible and affordable for all who want to attend, AMC has worked on minimizing the ticket price and maximizing ticket availability."
According to AMC, tickets for the film will be $18.89 for adults, plus tax, and $13.13 for seniors and children, plus tax. Fans will be able to watch the movie in IMAX and Dolby Cinema theaters, as well as other large-format theaters, for an additional charge.
Ahead of an upcoming concert in Indianapolis, Adam Burtner, the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce's vice president of government affairs, previously told Newsweek that the three-day concert series has "the potential to be an economic game changer for local businesses, restaurants and hotels."
New Orleans is also looking forward to Swift's October concert there.
"With the Caesars Superdome under construction for renovations preparing for the 2025 Super Bowl, we were disappointed that New Orleans would not be included in her original tour dates," Ashley Hilsman, executive vice president of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, told Newsweek earlier this month.
"This morning's announcement [of extended tour dates] is welcome news that should provide an economic boost for our hospitality industry. The Eras tour is moving from city to city, breaking hotel records across the country," Hilsman said.
