If he was a real fan, he'd have know they were coming back weeks or months ago, when the show was announced.

Oh man. I could see myself doing the same thing (blacking out) in the moment. I never got a code and by the time I got the queue via Cap1, tickets were sold out.

That said, $580 a ticket is nauseating and outrageous.

So either you have to stretch yourself (e.g middle class) or be rich to afford a pop concert these days.

Cool.

When I got to the ticketing portion everything was grey except $300 300's in the back or way off to the side, even behind the stage.

The Tix were 499 but then after fees 580. Seats kept disappearing and then these showed up. Now I fully believe TM was throttling tickets and causing you to panic buy that nothing else was open. Either way, it will count for both a Christmas and birthday present.

The panic buy is real. You don't want to have sat in a dumb line for hours with nothing to show. When you get in and everything is sold out you're tricked into thinking just do it. It's a deal. Which I guess compared to StubHub it is but anyway I panicked. It's fine. We're not too stretched but this will likely be a once in a lifetime thing

Philly-- Sunday 5/14, got two $225 tickets after being shut out yesterday. I clicked on the top ticket choice the instant I got into the room and had ZERO idea what i was buying. My two teen daughters may go.

Pittsburgh --shut out --made it into the ticking room, put dozens in my cart but never got any

Minneapolis --shut out --made it into the ticking room, put dozens in my cart but never got any

Denver--was able to put 5 floor seats into my cart but they came to $4500 with fees. I threw them back and wasn't able to get anything else

Las Vegas --shut out --made it into the ticking room, put dozens in my cart but never got any

LA #1 --shut out ----made it into the ticking room but everything was sold out a minute after I arrived

LA #2 (last show of the tour)-- got five $225 tickets. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with these. May sell all or family friends may use these.

I have 2 tickets to 5/14 as well but looking to find better tix for DD since these are pretty high up. wish we could start a ticket exchange. I'd buy your Philly tix if you're willing to sell and then I'd be more than happy to sell my other 2. there are probably lots of people out there who just blindly bought and now have other preferences.

I bought 5 seats for $700. Insane. I may need to resell them depending on the Christmas bonus.

The “service fees” were over $100 per ticket. Hard to see why Ticketmaster’s terrible process was somehow worthy of $100 in fees per seat.

+1

Why else build up all of the hype?

Why one big day for all venues?

To create mass frenzy.

With all the reselling people are planning, I'm prediciting I'll be able to swoop in last minute and grab some cheap resell tickets.

Never panic buy concert tickets. You have the option to just say no.

That's a little extreme.

Extreme or not, it’s how tons of teen girls and women in their 20s are feeling.

TikTok is full of teen girls pissed off at TSwift.
