Hockey legend Roberto Luongo recently attended a Taylor Swift concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where he humorously remarked about the expense of his upgraded seats. Luongo, who now serves as a special advisor for the Florida Panthers, took to X to express his amusing thoughts on the concert experience, joking about the high cost for a better view.
This was not Luongo’s first encounter with Swift’s concerts; he earlier attended one in Milan and humorously recounted his unsatisfactory seating arrangement to his followers.
Luongo’s playful social media commentary
At the Miami event, Luongo highlighted his enhanced seating position while commenting on its hefty price tag.
He wrote on X, “Upgraded seats but will have to work rest of my life to pay it off.”
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” has been attracting large audiences worldwide, with ticket prices skyrocketing—some resale tickets in Miami were seen for over $1,000, although prices have recently decreased.
In July, Luongo’s posts from the Milan concert gained significant attention when he humorously pointed out how distant he and his family were from the stage.
He mocked, “This is Taylor, you can barely see her here but don’t worry we couldn’t either.”
Throughout his illustrious NHL career, Luongo participated in 1,044 regular-season games, achieving 489 wins, 77 shutouts, and winning two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada.
Though he never clinched the Stanley Cup during his playing days, he celebrated a championship as an executive with the Florida Panthers in 2024, solidifying his legacy in the sport.
