Terrible just like Philly. $1200 for restricted view behind the stage.

The smugness of people who got face-value tickets is vomit-inducing. I had a pre-sale code too. I sat in the queue for 8 hours too. So did a lot of people. Its not like we didn't try or jump through the hoops. And our kids are just as heart-broken. I'm so over the smugness that we somehow didn't try as hard as those who got tickets.

Mine, too. Hours and hours - including the site kicking her back out into the queue when she had floor seats in her shopping cart. Even I cried that day, and I’m not a Swiftie. She was devastated.

Sorry you are sad, but this feels a bit over the top. People in other countries love Taylor Swift, but she's never going to go there, so they enjoy her music from afar.

Use the money you saved by not getting tickets to enjoy her music other ways. Spend it all on merch. Or discover other acts to follow, because many of them are just as good but just haven't received the same hype.

But those people’s close friends and family aren’t blasting their own attendance all over social media. DD’s friends who are going are showing no restraint or tact at all. Just talking about it constantly before and after. It’s pretty insensitive. At least it’s a life lesson to DD to be more mindful of others feelings.

And your daughter wouldn't do the same if she were going?

She doesn’t even have social media. She has one “friend” that I can’t stand that wouldn’t shut up during the lead up to the concert and now won’t shut up about her post concert “depression” because it was awesome and it’s over. Some friend.

You need to get your story straight. First you complain about people blasting it all over social media and now you're saying your DD doesn't even have social media, therefore she's not even seeing any of it, and is not impacted in any way by those posts. FFS get yourself together and stop whining.

Book a Pittsburgh hotel room. Drive 4 hrs. Enjoy what you can, be it last minute ticket luck or a parking lot of Swifties singing every word to every song.

I know this is a thing people are doing, but I honestly don't get the appeal of driving hours, paying for a hotel, and negotiating stadium traffic/parking just to hang out in the parking lot of a concert. Seems like being so close, yet so far, would be 100x harder on a kid than just skipping it altogether (especially if they're hoping for last minute tickets that in all likelihood aren't going to materialize). It seems crel to me, but what do I know (mom of boys not into TS).

Good for you. The videos I’ve seen show hundreds of people making the best of it.
Sports fans do this all the time for key events. Caps fans have filled the arena and watched an away game on the big screens.
Or, just keep complaining that you couldn’t get the $200 seats and not can’t get/pay for the $2000 seats.

Exactly. You need to calm down. You're being too loud.

People have the right to celebrate however they want. They aren't celebrating too much, you're simply being a jealous grinch.

I think for some kids it would be hard to understand. Like those on the younger end of things who don't/can't really understand that the chance of going & not getting tickets is greater than suddenly scoring tickets. My 15 yo would understand the chances would not be stacked in her favor and would be fine with being nearby, hearing the show, and the outside experience with all the fans.

We will be somewhat near Pittsburgh the weekend of those shows for her cousin's graduation festivities. She and her cousin both want to go hang out outside of the stadium. Both girls have already been to shows inside - my DD went to Nashville and my niece went to Philly.

Perspective.

Such entitlement. I’m silently giggling to what my parents would have said as a girl if I was throwing a tantrum and distraught over them not shelling out hundreds of dollars for a concert or whining endlessly.

People today. Sigh

It's all about the other girls at school. Look at me dressed up as a Swiftie, look at me and my excess.

In our wealthy neighborhood, it's about the moms too. So freaky. They are on the party bus with the daughters. To a lesser extent with Harry Styles too, but this TS crap is crazy.

Don't flame, but it's stuff like this that makes me so relieved I have all boys.

This begs the question, why is it teen girls dying to get these overpriced tickets? My observation at university with guys working at student radio and with my teen sons is that they tend to seek out newer bands and singers with few fans to be the first to make a new discovery. Bonus is that newer acts have cheaper tickets.

I am mid 40s and this was the most incredible show I have ever been to. I am not a swiftie. Its a 3 hour non stop experience and isn't even in the same stratosphere of most concerts.

Same. I’ll note that the average age for the Eras show I attended was high. Mostly 21+, very few pre-teens or below, and a LOT of 30+ women.

The Eras tour is its own beast, it’s different from the usual pop tour. With the Ticketmaster debacle, more people missed tickets than got them. So this time there’s some community in being “out.” If you lean into the FOMO and make lemonade, you’ll find many others doing the same. And Swifties are a creative and energetic bunch, so don’t underestimate the potential of a Swiftie parking lot party!

I know that’s easy for me to say as someone who got tickets, but honestly my peak memories from that night aren’t about what was on stage. It was about being with my friends, being part of something HUGE and positive and unapologetically girly, and screaming along to music that has meaning for me. I know I could have done that in a parking lot!

If it’s really just about one-upsmanship, then go online and buy one of the stupid blue crewnecks for $500. Wear to school, be The Coolest. Done.

(I actually saw an adult guy wearing the blue crewneck downtown and people were doing double takes and asking for photos, lol. Having the shirt may be an even bigger coup than having tickets! None of my friends who got tickets have managed to get the blue crewneck, lol…)

I have zero idea what the blue crewneck is- does it have her face on it?
