I have a TM account but hadn't used it in several years. Never have paid a penny for anything TS-related. Registered as a verified fan because DD wanted to go. After lots of misfires, did finally get tickets on Tuesday afternoon.

Same.

I was able to get 2 tickets with my verified code, and until I entered the code, I could not select seats. So yes, you needed a code.

Real question - with this demand, would Swift consider a Vegas residency?

We got tickets. We joined with friends and tried for the verified sale. If any of us got a code, we would try for tix for ourselves and our friends. My daughter and I both got codes for different dates and friends didn’t. The whole process was complete mismanaged by TM. In short it was a horrible sh*t show. It took 5.5 hours to get tix to one show and that was where we weren’t knocked to the back of the line due to TM’s screw up. We then had to wait again and we weren’t done until we’d been trying for Va over 5.5 hours. It was unnecessarily stressful and I was in a position to get work down while keeping my eye on the line in the online queu. We should get a refund of some of the fees. No way TM is using their fees to improve their business or upgrade their servers. I’m grateful we have tix. I feel really bad for all the people who not only didn’t get tickets but feel like the process was messed up. It was and I blame TM not Taylor Swift. Their job was to efficiently manage the buying process. They completely f’ed it up and the Antitrust division of DOJ never should have let them cement their monopoly power.

Out of curiosity I signed up for the pre-sale for Garth Brooks' Vegas residency. I was curious about the prices since Taylor is getting so much backlash and Garth is often used as an example of an artist who keeps tickets affordable for his fans. Apparently those days are long gone because there were no tickets less than $400. Seats in the 2nd row were $2500.

I could have written this exact post. Exact experience. Same sentiment.

The stub hub fees are astronomical. They are equally as bad as TM.

I'm not sure Ticketmaster could have predicted this or done any better than they did.

They just stated that they had 3.5 billion attempted logins on the day of the verified sale.
The tour had TWICE the demand of the entire Top 5 Tours in 2022 and the Super Bowl combined.

Insane.

So where does this leave those of us who didn’t get tickets? I see two scenarios, am I missing one?

1) wait it out and hope the resale tickets drop, but I don’t think they will
2) don’t go see Taylor Swift

So I assumed only certain seats were released for each presale and that a certain amount was left for public sale. Are am I understand this correctly that TM released ALL tickets during presale? And now they’re completely sold out everywhere?

If so, what the F?

3) find a new singer to follow
4) use the money for another event or trip

Apparently there are some tix left but not that many so they are trying to figure out what to do with the remaining ones.

I bet they'll put the remaining tickets on Ticketmaster on random days. Like some Tuesday in January, 100,000 tickets will be posted and word will spread on social media.
