I went to both in 2023...

Eras tour was $520 for front row on the floor

Renaissance tour was $560 for 100s level lower bowl

Taylor started on time, Beyoncé was 2 hours late.. Taylor was enormous production and choreography, Beyoncé had enormous production and didn't dance much (foot injury I'll excuse)

Eras tour ate up Renaissance easily for me. I was bored most of renaissance tour and left feeling like it was a waste of money

Idk if you can compare floor to literally any other experience but I appreciate you contributing honestly

I think it’s gonna come down to personality. If you’re there to party it’s Renaissance. If you’re there to be a stan probably eras. I saw Renaissance 2 separate times (paid once, got given a ticket another time—so I’m not a stan saying this lol) and the energy of the crowds were everything. The time I was on the floor it was like getting to go wild with the most fun people you’ve ever met. When in the 100 section, it was getting to see the spectacle and still party. If you’re not a party person I could see Renaissance turning you off bc it’s just not going to be something you can fully enjoy. But if you’re that person it’s gonna be the top tier show hands down. It was a really fun setlist.

I certainly hope this analogy isn't in respective order 

Depends on your taste level I guess...

Thank you for reminding me about the Renaissance Tour film not on sale or streaming to this day.

[Plastic Flower 4,562]

Anyway, Beyoncé 100%. I played the album to death and the show was everything.

 

I liked the Lover, Reputation, 1989 and Midnights sets. I was bored with the setlist ngl. At least I fell in love with Evermore back then (well not Marjory).

Didn’t see either, and I’m not really a Beyoncé fan, but I’d 100% say Eras

For me it’s the Rena Rena Rena uh Renaissance!

They’re good for their own reasons. I only saw the Eras film and videos because it was way too pricey to get a resale ticket  and presales were impossible to get. Plus I would rather a true Swiftie take the spot as opposed to me, a casual listener.

Era’s for hits, as it was a full discography/greatest hits tour. 
 

Renaissance as an individual album plus some hits tour. 
 

When you get to their level you can’t please everyone with your set list. Casual Beyonce fans wanted “Single Ladies” and such but we got the full album plus hits and others. 
 

The Renaissance Tour is the first tour since Monster Ball 2.0 that I heavily watched afterwards. 
 

The impact of Renaissance was the silver metallic clothing and disco cowboy hat. Eras tour impact was kandi brackets rebranded as “friendship bracelets.

Hydrogen bomb vs. Coughing baby. 

Renaissance takes it in an effortless and disrespectful way.

Renaissance.

There’s no comparison. It was a PARTY and a CELEBRATION! A once in a lifetime event where you felt free and comfortable with those around you. You just had to be there!
 

The Eras tour was a bit culty and honestly, I felt judged through the lead poisoning stares and mini Karen’s (being one of the few POC’s there) and the energy was very…MAGA.

Fashion wise : Beyonce wins, each concert was a fashion show with diffferent outfits each time. While Taylor just switched color of outfits every three shows.

Choreography : Beyonce wins, despite beyonce being 40+ years old and having a foot injury, she was dancing. The choreos were a little more sophisticated than Taylor. However Taylor's discography isnt really made for impressive choreos. Also the ball room part was amazing and gave huge representation to the ballroom culture.

Props: Beyonce wins, the tank is everything, the gigantic horse during break my soul, the dress changing of color, and finally the flying horse.

Stage: Beyonce wins, the eras tour stage is gigantic and impressive but it actually feels very simple (like the fact that the floor was made of screens though. However the renaissance stage was a bit more sophisticated and I feel like it was also better used.

 

The Eras tour was one of a kind, a 3 hour + show and was a very cute show, I enjoyed it. However the renaissance tour was defnitely a step above.

eras tour but what do you expect from me?

still mad I Beyonce never internationally toured Renaissance, would have loved to see it

[Flippy 12,508]

The Eras Tour 100%!  but it’s GGD so, not surprised by these results

Went to both, Renaissance Tour was clearly better.
Beyoncé is more or less my second fave and I'm just a casual Taylor fan, so I'm partly biased, but Beyoncé's stage presence, production, vocals, stage, lighting, choreo, arrangements, wardrobe, all of it blows the Eras Tour out of the water. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Eras Tour and some parts were very cool and impressive and overall it's a good show and kudos to Taylor for performing 3 hours, but there's no comparison.

[StressedOut 650]

Renaissance might quite possibly be the best show I've ever been to, visuals, choreo, BEYONCE'S VOCALS, the outfits. It was just so f-ing good. I am a bit biased as that album is just a masterpiece. 

I can't say definitively bc I didn't go to eras and have only seen it online, but it definitely looks like it had a lot of production value and would have been cool to go.
