Look, we already know that Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour will blow your mind. But just how much will the best night of your life cost you? Well, if you're still trying to snag a seat for her sold out five-night run at Staples Center in L.A., a lot.

Secondary market tickets for the two weekend dates of her August 21-25 run are Swifty's priciest performances in five years, according to data from online ticket marketplace SeatGeek. Resale prices are averaging $322 for Friday's set and $338 for Saturday, marking the most fans have shelled out to see her at any venue since 2010.

That apparently puts Tay-Tay just behind the Rolling Stones for the most expensive secondary market tickets at the 18,118-seat venue in the last five years, setting her price points above the likes of Madonna, Drake and, yes, even the Biebs. Her three weekday shows aren't exactly a steal, either, averaging about $270. That breaks down to an average of $492 for coveted catwalk-side spots while the not-so-cheap seats hover around $165.

Keep in mind those are just averages provided by SeatGeek. A gander around the site itself has prices starting at $223 in the nosebleeds and going for as high as—wait for it—$2,068 for a seat in something called "Section Premier 3," which honestly doesn't even look that great.

Resale prices for all five gigs are among Swift's top 15 most expensive shows since 2010. SeatGeek estimates that fans have already spent an overall $5.7 million on secondary market tickets for the five L.A. shows, and there's still time left to do damage. T-Swizzle? More like T-Swindle, amiright?
