Was at the Philly show last night. My DD and her friend already had tickets. Originally my friend and I were just going to hang out in the parking lot at our car but as the sun began set and we were beginning to settle in our camping chairs for the next 4hrs with wine in hand, we kind said screw it-we're buying last min tix to join in on the fun. Yes, they were not cheap and I feel a little gross that we clearly got price gouged given what I know I paid for my DD's seats, but hey, it was Mother's Day, yolo and all that stuff. I had been trying in all the ticket drops (for myself) and felt like between driving up there, helping my daughter put together her outfit, preparing for this event, etc., we had invested so much time in this concert, might as well just go! And I don't regret it. There were thousands who had set up chairs outside the stadium to listen in, so that is an option for anyone who just wants to be near her and listen in, but it was a chilly night to do that in Philly and you're kind of just sitting in the dark listening (the party happening on 11th street on the other side of the stadium maybe was more lively). We had "obstructed" view tickets on the upper deck, but other than not being able to see the main screen on the stage, you could see and experience everything, plus anytime she wasn't on the catwalk or diamond (which was rare) you could watch her on the stadium screens, of which there were plenty. I'd say if you dont yet have tickets, just bypass the drops and watch the tickets on the resell sites. The lowest we found day of were $1,000 plus fees. nothing in philly was below that. Pittsburgh might be different and resell tix in Nashville the weekend before were far more reasonable. Philly had demands placed on it from the beginning since she basically skipped over the DMV, but maybe other cities will be slightly more reasonable. I personally wouldn't drive a long distance just to listen in, but if you can get same day tix or tix a few days before, just do it. Especially if you have a TS fan who wants to go. My daughter absolutely loved the show. I thought it was great but to her, this was like watching her dream come true.

My neighbor's daughters took the train up Saturday after seeing the outside crowd Friday night. They didn't have tickets but thought it looked awesome being outside with everyone.

Honestly, from the way they talked about the experience yesterday afternoon, you'd have thought they were IN the stadium. The videos they have and the videos I have from Nashville sound nearly exactly the same in terms of sound quality.

I say, if you have a kid who loves Taylor but you couldn't get tickets and you live close enough to a show, take them for the outside party. My neighbor's daughters bought merch from the line, met new friends, & got to hear the whole thing live.

I would either need 2 or 3 tickets since her younger sister - who isn’t as much of a fan but still loves her - would probably be devastated and never forgive us if we didn’t take her too. The cheapest tix are @1800 each and that’s usually for bad seats.




The cheapest tickets are $1800? This can't be right!


It is. There was a brief moment last week were you could get a few for around 1200 but that’s all before fees - which are close to $500/ticket.

This the best I've seen so far, but it's not complete: https://twitter.com/UpdatingSwiftly/status/1657946211918258177?s=20

I love that song but I was a little worried she'd play it at the show I saw, because it always makes me sob. A nice choice for Mother's Day though!

I’m one of a very few fans of That’s When. I was hoping against hope that it would be the surprise song and that Keith Urban would grab a guitar on the performance. Oh well. Still an amazing show.

Keep an eye on Pittsburgh.


We live in CO. The weekend before the tour opened I bought tickets 3 for $650 plus SH fees for Denver. Total $2700. Now it would be 5k easily.

I would buy sooner rather than later. I’ve been tracking prices on Tikpic and they just keep going up.



I don’t see how the prices can go higher.

We are getting a hotel outside of Pittsburgh in the hopes that we can get last minute tickets. At least we will be outside of the stadium. Or just stuck it up and buy last minute at the resellers prices.

My sister had the same plan for Philly last night. She didn’t have any luck with the last minute drops and ended up paying over $1,500 for obstructed view nosebleeds to Stubhub a few hours before the show because the prices didn’t drop. She said that it was worth it and might try for the Pittsburgh show with us.


There won't be any prices coming down. It's usually cruel to take your DD all the way to Pittsburgh just to stand outside. My suggestion is to buy the tickets now or don't go at all. Every seat will be filled, you don't want to be 1 of those 20k people standing outside the venue.

You may be late to the game but we bought our space at the concert from Spot Hero.


It’s too late. You won’t find any parking near the stadium. I looked over a week ago. [/quote
There was plenty of parking near the stadium. Lots of the official lots are unreserved and it was no problem at all. This is a massive stadium complex and they are used to crowds.

Also this experience was worth the price. DD will never forget her first concert even though it will be hard to top!
