NP. The article I read said 14 million users were on Ticketmaster trying to buy TS tickets, and that included some bots


So that has to include the CapOne buyers - that’s probably how the bots got in.

My daughter has seen other artists that she enjoyed. Such as Olivia Rodrigo. I know she also loves Phoebe Bridges. And of course every year there is the jingle ball


These are good suggestions but Olivia Rodrigo tickets were also very difficult to get and had massive resale listings. Phoebe Bridgers is opening for TS. Jingle Ball does usually have a good round up of artists though.

Make sure you enter the iheart radio draw for TS tickets. Also, our local radio stations here (DMV area) were able to receive tickets that you can win by tuning in. Don't give up, yet.

What is the Keyword to enter? Thank you!

I tried this strategy for Elton John, but the prices really didn't drop, plus I wasn't super serious about it so I was merely just looking on SH, but tickets were still sky high even as the show was starting. THAT's the artist I'd say spend $500 because you'll probably never see him perform again. Taylor has a long touring career ahead of her--you'll catch her next time. Hopefully some of these prices come down because they are obscene. $9,000 (on SH) for a nosebleed seat? please.


DH and I had a similar conversation last night about Springsteen, when I said that I turned down $300 tickets to TS because that’s more than the experience was worth to me and he reminded me that he paid more than that for our Springsteen tickets. But I’m almost 100% sure it will be Bruce’s last tour, and TS should still have a long career ahead of her.


She is about to turn 33, in a serious relationship and probably ready to start having babies. Also, she has been doing this at full speed her entire life. I doubt she will be touring for a long time. This tour will be special because it’s not just her new stuff (which I personally don’t love), it’s hits from all her albums.

You have zero chance against the bots that will scoop up all the tickets in just minutes at the general sale.


I just read that the regular sale has been canceled So this is moot.


Who do you think got all the Cap1 tickets? It definitely wasn't you or other fans.

We don’t know. From what they’ve shared, it seems there are no tickets left.


+1. I believe it. I was one of the few lucky ones with an access code on Tuesday, and after 4 hours in the queue ai finally got in the sale for the NJ concert. I tried maybe 20 times to grab two decent tickets and they kept disappearing. Finally I went for nosebleed seats and got two, but in the 5 minutes I was in and frantically trying to find two available tickets, the entire stadium sold out. That is a venue of 82,000.

Let's do something constructive with our anger!


But how do you come to terms with the fact that Taylor Swift can't do enough concerts to provide you all with a ticket?


They won't stop whining until TS gives them a private show. Duh!



Righ, let's just keep letting Ticketmaster / Live Nation do their thing, no need to even bother.

Pointing out failures in Ticketmaster’s system is not whining. People made it to seat selection only to encounter errors that prevented them from buying seats or issues that sent them back to the end of the queue. Then after leaving empty handed they see tickets pop up for resale at outrageous prices. I guess I’m on the side of the people who want to buy tickets and actually attend the show, and against those who are trying to profit off someone else’s work.
