After Presale Mess, Taylor Swift Tour Tickets Will Soon Go on Sale to General Public

It’s not been a great week for Taylor Swift fans who had hoped to score presale tickets to stops on Swift’s upcoming 52-date “The Eras Tour.” “You are now in the queue,” one Ticketmaster message on Tuesday read. “There are 2,000+ people ahead of you.” Tuesday’s presale event, one of several, left millions — literally — of fans — waiting in queues for hours and without access codes after Ticketmaster said it was experiencing “technical difficulties.” “Our team is working to resolve this as soon as possible,” one of the many updates on Ticketmaster’s website read Tuesday. “We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience.” The website DownDetector saw a surge in reports of issues just after 8 a.m. Tuesday, moments after presale tickets were released. The company later released a statement saying the long wait times and disruptions stemmed from “historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to buy tickets for the TaylorSwiftTix presale.” “Hundreds of thousands of tickets have been sold,” Ticketmaster continued. “”If you have already secured tickets, you are all set. If you are currently in a queue, please hang tight.” However, some of those who secured tickets opted to put them on resale markets accompanied by lofty price tags, ranging everywhere from $500 to more than $12,000. As of Wednesday afternoon, the cheapest resale ticket for Swift’s June 2 Chicago show at Soldier Field — the first of three shows in the city — was being offered at $518 on StubHub after fees. This ticket would be in the 35th row of section 444, positioned in the upper deck almost directly to the side of the stage. Including ticket fees on StubHub, there were just 17 listings under $1,000 for Swift’s opening Chicago show, with the cheapest listing on the field at $1,121. The most expensive listing currently available is for row 7 in section Field B, listed for $8,279 after fees. And while presale events for select shows continue into Thursday, the general public will have the opportunity to buy tickets at face value later in the week. Beginning Friday at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster, general public tickets for Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” go on sale. Swift’s 52-date stadium visit is slated to run March 17 through Aug. 9 of 2023 throughout the U.S. and expected to expand to international dates, as well. The tour announcement followed Swift’s release of her 10th album, “Midnight.” Taylor Swift 23 hours ago Tennessee AG Investigating Ticketmaster After Taylor Swift Ticket Chaos news Nov 16 Taylor Swift Tour Ticket Fiasco Leads to Calls for Ticketmaster and Live Nation to Break Up Concerts Nov 15 Ticketmaster Extends Presale Period for Taylor Swift ‘Eras' Tour to Deal With ‘Unprecedented Demand' Dates for Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” are below: FRI, MAR 17, 2023STATE FARM STADIUM Glendale, AZwith Paramore & GAYLE SAT, MAR 18, 2023STATE FARM STADIUM Glendale, AZwith Paramore & GAYLE FRI, MAR 24, 2023ALLEGIANT STADIUMLas Vegas, NVwith beabadoobee & GAYLE SAT, MAR 25, 2023ALLEGIANT STADIUMLas Vegas, NVwith beabadoobee & GAYLE FRI, MAR 31, 2023AT&T STADIUMArlington, TXwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SAT, APR 1, 2023AT&T STADIUMArlington, TXwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SUN, APR 2, 2023AT&T STADIUMArlington, TXwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams THURS, APR 13, 2023RAYMOND JAMES STADIUMTampa, FLwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams FRI, APR 14, 2023RAYMOND JAMES STADIUMTampa, FLwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SAT, APR 15, 2023RAYMOND JAMES STADIUMTampa, FLwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams FRI, APR 21, 2023NRG STADIUMHouston, TX with beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SAT, APR 22, 2023NRG STADIUMHouston, TXwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams FRI, APR 28, 2023MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUMAtlanta, GAwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SAT, APR 29, 2023MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUMAtlanta, GAwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams SUN, APR 30, 2023MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUMAtlanta, GAwith beabadoobee & Gracie Abrams FRI, MAY 5, 2023NISSAN STADIUMNashville, TNwith Phoebe Bridgers & Gracie Abrams SAT, MAY 6, 2023NISSAN STADIUMNashville, TNwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SUN, MAY 7, 2023NISSAN STADIUMNashville, TNwith Phoebe Bridgers & Gracie Abrams FRI, MAY 12, 2023LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELDPhiladelphia, PAwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SAT, MAY 13, 2023LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELDPhiladelphia, PAwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SUN, MAY 14, 2023LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELDPhiladelphia, PAwith Phoebe Bridgers & Gracie Abrams FRI, MAY 19, 2023GILLETTE STADIUMFoxborough, MAwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SAT, MAY 20, 2023GILLETTE STADIUMFoxborough, MAwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SUN, MAY 21, 2023GILLETTE STADIUMFoxborough, MAwith Phoebe Bridgers & Gracie Abrams FRI, MAY 26, 2023METLIFE STADIUMEast Rutherford, NJwith Phoebe Bridgers & GAYLE SAT, MAY 27, 2023METLIFE STADIUMEast Rutherford, NJwith Phoebe Bridgers & Gracie Abrams SUN, MAY 28, 2023METLIFE STADIUMEast Rutherford, NJwith Phoebe Bridgers & OWENN FRI, JUN 2, 2023SOLDIER FIELDChicago, ILwith girl in red & OWENN SAT, JUN 3, 2023SOLDIER FIELDChicago, ILwith girl in red & OWENN SUN, JUN 4, 2023SOLDIER FIELDChicago, ILwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams FRI, JUN 9, 2023FORD FIELDDetroit, MIwith girl in red & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUN 10, 2023FORD FIELDDetroit, MIwith girl in red & OWENN FRI, JUN 16, 2023ACRISURE STADIUMPittsburgh, PAwith girl in red & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUN 17, 2023ACRISURE STADIUMPittsburgh, PAwith girl in red & OWENN FRI, JUN 23, 2023U.S. BANK STADIUMMinneapolis, MNwith girl in red & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUN 24, 2023U.S. BANK STADIUMMinneapolis, MNwith girl in red & OWENN FRI, JUN 30, 2023PAYCOR STADIUMCincinnati, OHwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUL 1, 2023PAYCOR STADIUMCincinnati, OHwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams FRI, JUL 7, 2023GEHA FIELD AT ARROWHEAD STADIUMKansas City, MOwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUL 8, 2023GEHA FIELD AT ARROWHEAD STADIUMKansas City, MOwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams FRI, JUL 14, 2023EMPOWER FIELD AT MILE HIGHDenver, COwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUL 15, 2023EMPOWER FIELD AT MILE HIGHDenver, COwith MUNA & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUL 22, 2023LUMEN FIELDSeattle, WAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams SUN, JUL 23, 2023LUMEN FIELDSeattle, WAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams FRI, JUL 28, 2023LEVI’S® STADIUMSanta Clara, CAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams SAT, JUL 29, 2023LEVI’S® STADIUMSanta Clara, CAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams THUR, AUG 3, 2023SOFI STADIUMLos Angeles, CAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams FRI, AUG 4, 2023SOFI STADIUMLos Angeles, CAwith HAIM & OWENN SAT, AUG 5, 2023SOFI STADIUMLos Angeles, CAwith HAIM & GAYLE TUE, AUG 8, 2023SOFI STADIUMLos Angeles, CAwith HAIM & Gracie Abrams WED, AUG 9, 2023SOFI STADIUMLos Angeles, CAwith HAIM & GAYLE
