| Tonight I say Fk her!! Like she says Karma is a relaxing thought. Karma is going to hunt you down Taylor. |
Met Life Stadium in NJ sold out minutes after I got through at 1:30pm. |
No way those tickets sell. She’s gonna have sold out shows with half the seats filled. Those fools better get a grip. |
Taylor isn’t personally overseeing ticketmaster presale. Ticketmaster is bad. Monopolies are bad and should be broken up. |
Please she is in on this racket |
| I got tickets for the NJ show. They are nosebleeds, so I am considering selling them (at face value), but I see in my Ticketmaster account that I cannot resell them, just "transfer" them. How does that work? If I know the person I am selling them to, i.e. if I have their email address/phone number and they pay me offline, can I transfer them easily? Has anyone ever done that? I am hoping to have better luck with seats closer to the stage at the general sale. |
Well no. She should not of. |
I’ve done that with Craigslist (purchasing). |
The prices will drop the closer it gets. I watched it happen with Lady Gaga this summer and Lizzo last month. I waited and watched the tickets on reselling platforms drop as the shows got closer. I purchased Lady Gaga the night before at $95 plus fees. I made a snap decision for Lizzo and bought them the afternoon before and paid ~$220 for 2 tickets plus fees. |
| I’m mostly just upset they gave out codes giving people hope and we wasted a day. They gave out at least 2x as many codes as they should have. |
Happened to me many times for the NJ show. I had 100-level tickets at $600 each, then several 200 section tickets that were snatched up, and finally ended up with nosebleeds for $100 each. Oh well. We'll watch her on the screen I guess. |
Every time there's a big presale, Ticketmaster flops and releases a statement that includes the words "due to unprecedented demand". It happened with BTS, Harry Styles, Reputation tour, etc. The thing is, there's no alternative. There's no competitor who can even come close to handling the volume of sales that Ticketmaster does on even its worst day. Even if Taylor and other big acts pulled their tickets from TM, there's no service that could handle the volume of sales. The amount TM probably spends on server maintenance and upgrades on a presale release day is more than any single artist can do on their own. The simplest solution is to kill the reselling market. The easiest way to do that is to a) allow ticket refunds and b) only allow admittance with photo ID & the cc used to purchase the tickets. |
Best bet is to find a local person to buy your tickets and meet in person at a secure location like a police department. Or sell to someone you know. Selling to a stranger is too iffy. You run the risk of them canceling their payment or the payment being fraudulent immediately after you transfer the tickets and there's no way to get them back. I have a friend that this happened to. |
This is good advice, thank you. I wish I could sell them to one of you with tweens/teens at face value so your kid can enjoy them. But let me first see if I'll have better luck tomorrow or at the general sale. It's unlikely, but worth a shot. |
They could release each individual show on its own day. Like exactly 6 months out or whatever. There is not reason for them to all go at once. And I agree about the resale market needing to end. |
