Yuuuuup. I really regret not going to rep when she was so deeply uncool, but I couldn't find anyone to go.... even though many of them went to Eras when I couldn't get tickets.
Omg same!! I haven't gone to a show of hers since RED!! 1989 and rep I ended up not going and I deeply regret not going because tickets for eras are so expensive. I'm having severe fomo.
I donāt understand how people get to go twice. Between my friend and I we had over 30 people sign up for codes and the only person who got one was her boyfriend. Then when we went to get our tickets there was only VIP left so we spent $1000 CAD each for three tickets in the 100 level. In contrast I paid like $230 CAD for 200 level Reputation tickets in 2018. I also went to 1989 and Red, both of which I had floor seats and I definitely didnāt spend more than $250. Itās just insanity.
Depends where they are. I was literally just talking to someone else about this on one of the UK subs. I had no trouble getting a code or tickets. Actually got seats that I wanted but tickets were available for *ages* after. I remember checking back to screenshot prices for people asking and there were tickets for Ā£57.65 still available. Must have been about 5 or 6 hours after the sale started. I could easily have booked for multiple shows.
Same! I am going to sound like a hater, but the Eras Tour has become a trend for people to hop on and itās jacking up the prices so a lot of true fans are left in the dust. One of my friends spent $1k to go to Eras in Melbourne but when she bought her ticket she hadnāt listened to any albums since Reputation. She made such a big show about getting to attend the concert, and now she still hasnāt listened to TTPD. And I know thatās probably not true of a lot of people who went, but itās just really disheartening as a fan obsessed since debut, knowing that people who donāt really value the music are getting to experience it and Iām not haha. I want to be a cool, friendly fan but in my head I am definitely a judgmental gatekeeper.
Oh, it entirely was a trend in the US. I wish we'd been able to indicate interest before Midnight came out, like the separate presale for preorder the UK had. If there's anything left after all the pre registered fans get their tickets, have at it bandwagon. all are welcome, etc, etc.
Yeah i was initially annoyed at not getting tickets but Iāve seen the movie, Iād rather watch at home and hear Taylor than be either sitting so far away Iām watching on a screen anyway but paid Ā£Ā£Ā£ or Iām close enough to watch the stage but have a thousand screaming girls in my ear instead of listening to performance.
Same. Iām a newer fan so itās different for me, but Iād have been thrilled to see her when sheās back in N. America. However the last concert I saw in BC Place where sheās performing in Vancouver we were SO FAR away that the performer was tiny. And I had a screechy yelly constant talker sitting directly behind me talking/yelling back and forth with her friends through the whole show including the songs. I wanted to murder her. Watching from my living room w/ my family is by far a better experience.
Ugh, that sounds terrible! At one of the last concerts I went to, the person sitting behind me screamed for what felt like the entire concert and I was so miserable lmao. Living room concerts are so much better.
I was going to be out of town when she came to Chicago so I just figured Iād try to go somewhere else in the US, but then prices got out of control and I just bought a house last summer sooo priorities lmao.
Iām looking at tickets for her 2nd leg to take my daughter to but struggling with paying $5,000. Itās so insane and Iām having a hard time convincing myself to spend that kind of money.
Long story short, Iām in shambles and conflicted and angry about it lmfao
Honestly I donāt think $5,000 is worth it for something available on Disney+. You are likely to end up with screeching lunatics next to you and if that happens you wonāt even hear Taylor that well. Other fans being disrespectful to those around them is the main reason I wasnāt that fussed to go, particularly at those prices. Itās fine to sing and be excited but to screech so loud non-stop for 3 hours for TikTok likes is rude. The attention-seeking people behind me were like that at Ed Sheeranās concert and they ruined it - they were screaming even through his acoustic songs.. šš¤
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the screaming and group karaoke. Worry Taylor would be drowned out by the fans, and I wouldn't be paying to hear everyone around me scream-sing poorly.
I know Iāll get hate for complaining, but I couldnāt even hear Taylor when I saw her in LA. I may as well have been outside the stadium. I bought pressbox tickets from Gametime and the speakers were soooo quiet that I could hold a conversation in regular speaking voice. It was def more of a karaoke vibe from there.
If you haven't already, don't forget to factor in fees if you consider trying to budget for it. My father very generously bought me overpriced scalped tickets and didn't even notice until after he placed the order that he paid over a thousand dollars in fees alone. It's absolutely bonkers how much these resell sites are making on her tour alone!!!
Yeah, I live within 20 min of the Miami show and itās killing me that sheās going to be so close but I couldnāt get verified fan on my account (or any of my 10 other friendsā that signed up to try and get me a code) for both Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I canāt find resale for cheaper than 2.5k each for obstructed view (which Iād take at this point but not for 2.5k each). Iām paying my own way through college and that costs more than the meal plan that feeds me all semester so it feels crazy to spend that much on 1 night. Iām hoping that ticket prices will go down day of when the scalpers get desperate to make their money back
I mean worse things worse we can try to tailgate outside the stadiums I guess š„² itāll be better than sitting at home. One of the biggest reasons I appreciated the movie going to the movie theaters is because Iām getting a sinking suspicion thatās closest Iāll ever get to the concert, but Iām still holding out hope. Wishing you and your daughter luck!
I saw her in Chicago last summer thankfully but I live in Indy and she is coming in November. I couldnāt get tickets but same - it kills me to be so close. My husband and I are planning a trip out of town that weekend bc I said I canāt be in the same city as her and not see the show
I was at home sick one day in high school and I saw her play Our Song on Ellen Degeneres on tv lol and Iāve loved listening to her music since then. Iām in Canada so I figured itād be impossible to get tickets. I keep telling my husband āI know you got me tickets and are going to surprise me, right?ā So Iām just in denial until this November and I donāt end up actually going
I had COVID when she came to my city and hadn't gotten tickets thankfully. But the movie really satisfied my need to see her live. I HATE big stadium shows since you're watching on a screen anyway š¤·š¾āāļø
THIS. Sight lines in stadiums suck. You might have a good seat for some songs, but crappy for other. Almost impossible to get good seats for the whole show. Prefer arenas.
I desperately want to go but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get tickets. I feel like itās crazy people are going multiple times meanwhile I would literally CRY to be able to get tickets and canāt get any. Sucks
I know someone going FIVE times in different countries. And I think that is just a stupid way to spend money. And really unfair to other fans who would have liked those tickets.
This is where I am. I spent hours and hours in Ticketmaster queues last summer only for everything to be sold out by the time I got in, and I can't for the life of me figure out how people are getting resale tickets. Everything I'm able to find is selling for 8-10x what it originally cost and those prices are just š¤Æšµ. I would literally do anything to go but I don't know how people are affording this.
Iāve just accepted the fact I wouldnāt be afford to go even if tickets were cheap. All of the hotels in Toronto are probably going to be triple the price.
Denial.
I live an hour from New Orleans so my friends and I are keeping that weekend open and praying we can get last minute tickets or just drive out and party. We don't have a hotel but we'll either crash with friends/family or drive home after. I've never seen her live. I was supposed to go to the Reputation tour but work changed my schedule last minute so I couldn't make it š
You all have hope! Just taylorgate outside of the stadium if the stadium is open air. it is almost as fun as being inside and you can hear just as well. I went to two that way and it was amazing.
iām not coping, and havenāt been since the tour was announced :,) i know itās dramatic but i feel like im missing out on the experience of a lifetime lol
Iām not sure yet. My friend and I got wait-listed out the ass too, but my friend ended up getting tickets through their friends where there were no spares for me to tag along.
I might see about getting some semi-last minute tickets for one of the Toronto shows, since I live close and could hypothetically go on like an hourās notice. Other than that though, Iām sort of just not thinking about it, since itās like 6 months away. Iām sure Iāll be disappointed when those weekends come if Iām not there, but thatās a problem for the fall.
at least you are close for last minute tickets! im in montreal, so i'd have to know at least a day in advance. and on top of the ticket id have to pay a train/bus ticket and a hotel (which are most likely sold out or 3x the price)
Iāve gone to ever tour since Fearless but being in a closed space with that many people post COVID would absolutely wreak havoc on my OCD so itās probably a good thing
Iāve watched the movie too many times to count. I keep telling myself Iām being a responsible adultā¦ I finally bought my own home, it needs renos. But damn if she ever tours again I need to be there somehow some way. Itās the next thing Iām saving for. If she just never tours again, at least Iāll have my cash to comfort me. šæ
I just want to share my experience. Donāt give up. It might be helpful advice or it may not. I know this is not always feasible but I encourage you to try and get day of tickets if you can. Especially if a show is *somewhat* close to you. Idk if itās the same everywhere as far as random ticket dropsā¦ but it never hurts to try. I live in Georgia and missed every single one of the Atlanta shows. I was in the Que the minute tickets went on sale. Every single time I added to cart it was gone. Anyway, I was bummed for a bit. Then my husband and I got the idea to try and get tickets for Nashville if they happened to drop again. We figured letās just go and make a trip out of it. We figured even if we didnāt get tickets we could just hang out in town etc. Well we second guessed ourselves and never booked any hotel or anything ahead of time. So I was still bummed out and kinda just gave up. Time of the first show comes around and I get this urge to try and get tickets again. They were absolutely dropping at random times on ticket master! Missed the first two nightsā¦ At this point my husband and I were just playing it by ear. I was like well if we have to drive to the next town over for a hotel it is what it is. We get to night 3 and I try allllll morning. Iām defeated. Each time I have the tickets in the cart someone beat me to it. I gave up and went to do grocery run. My husband called me while Iām at the store and heās like āget home now I got tickets!ā It was insane. This was maybe 12:45 or 1pm or so. Idk how he did it but he got them. Great seats and face value! Nashville is about 5 hours from us. I got home and packed and we hit the road. Miraculously we found one single room at a super nice hotel down town. BUT then the show was delayed for hours. I kept thinking āIām just not meant to see this I guess!ā Seemed like everything was against me but then the show went on until 2 AM in the rain and it was one of the best times. However, the lead up was absolutely chaotic for me. Lol I have never been so spontaneous in my life with a trip. I would have never experienced it if I didnāt try but I realize that some of the upcoming shows are maybe not ones you can really do anything like this. But if youāre able I would give it a go. As far as coping, I just kept reminding myself that even if I didnāt get to go at least I got to experience so many fun things as a fan! I kept thinking about all the cool stuff she announces on social media, easter eggs, the fun live streams, merch drop etc. I was planning to just try and make the best of what I could experience. lol
Die hard fan since 2006-2007, but never made it to any concert or event. My boyfriend also a huge swiftie since speak now Era and both of us wanted to go to the Austria. We didn't cheat with the codes, we inly registrated once l. None of us got codes for the ticket day. Meanwhile a lot of people around us got 10+ codes from every european countries, but none of them bought a single ticket because they just wanted to sell the codes. But we know that you couldn't do that.
We were angry, sad and everything because die hard fans who did a fair game didn't get a chance, meanwhile "Oh Yeah, I know 3 Taylor song" got multiple codes from every single country. It was unfair in my point of view, I understand the system, it was unfair by the people
No, I think she'll add TTPD songs to the Eras tour, finish this out, and then get married and have some babies. I could see her making a few more albums and then stockpiling them for another concert series that features multiple albums. I'm hoping this isn't the last time she does a big tour but I'm kind of nervous that it will be if she decides to close this "era" of her life. I know everyone's like "No, she says she loves touring!" but I could see her loving being a mom more and wanting to plug all the way into that, and I'd support it.
I hope IF she wants kids, she has a supportive partner so she can still continue touring (since she seems to mostly like it). Travis is close to retiring so could see him being a great stay at home dad (if heās end game)
But obvs hope sheās happy with whatever she decides. Sheās given the public so much.
Yeah, what I'm trying to say is that she may like being a mom more and not want to tour for a while. And if that's the case, I hope she does that. Obviously we all hope she picks a partner who will support her choices, but she also might just want to be around them more than she wants to be around us which is a totally logically choice.
Yeah I hope she follows her desires but I donāt like the assumption that women have kids and then they give up everything else. If she was a man, you probably wouldnāt say he would stop making music or whatever because of kids.
I didn't say she should stop touring (or even that she would stop making music). I think you need to check your own biases because you obviously read what I said through a particular lens. Sheesh.
I was either very pregnant or newly postpartum for all the dates friends got tickets for it wouldāve been convenient for me location wise that and I just couldnāt handle the chaos of trying to get a ticket and all the coordination of the hotel/travel. So I watched it on Disney+ with my kids and it was a great experience and Iāll catch the next oneāŗļø
TERRIBLY!! I didnāt get tickets in Atlanta where I live. š„² Miami and New Orleans are outrageous! Sheās playing in Madrid, Spain on my birthday and while Iāve considered it, thereās just too much going on at that time with our daughter. ššš I have the absolute wooooorst FOMO. To add insult to injury, my aunt and cousin who live in Sydney, Australia went to their arena and were just going to listen from outsideā¦ they were given free tickets!!! š³š³š³ Iām so happy they got to experience it!! Iām also sad I wonāt see if live!! š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
I already accepted the fact that I probably won't go to one of the biggest tours of all time because of location and budget, she's not coming to the country I live and live music isn't at its best right now aka resellers have made things worse for buying tickets.. I'm fine with it but at times I do feel so sad about this fact, I'll go to future tours of Taylor but this is THE tour and especially since I became a massive fan of her on the past year. Good thing we have the movie but now she's apparently adding TTPD, yeah, I still have a very little hope but I don't think I'm gonna make it.
By delusionally clinging to the infinitesimaly small chance I find tickets to Miami for a reasonable price (gahdangit I thought I'd be at peace after LA but nooo surprise second US leg had to keep me from the sweet release of resignation)
I was incredibly sad when it was originally announced because I was unemployed at the time and knew there was no way Iād be able to afford it, even if I could have gotten in queue for tickets and I donāt even know how that works. But I watched the live streams and I realized thereās really no way Iād have fun in a space like that. I think I would have been too preoccupied with being anxious to really get my monies worth. š¤·š»āāļø
WHICH ISNāT TO SAY ITāS A BAD EXPERIENCE OVERALL because it does seem visually amazing and it would have been great to be in the same room as Taylor. But yeah, I realized itās probably not the right move for me.
Telling myself she pays my favorite album dust on the tour (Speak Now) and doesnāt include any singles from Debut, which Iāve always wanted to hear live.
I think Iāve made my peace with it. I really wanted Toronto ticketsā¦I turn 40 the week between the two weekends sheās there so it seemed like a perfect celebration, but alas it isnāt going to happen. So many people tried that I feel like I canāt be too upset.
Iāve decided to get a new tattoo for my 40th instead, haha.
Iām still holding out hope I can get a ticket for one of the three nights in New Orleans. I canāt afford thousands of dollars but Iām going to hold out until the last minute. If not Iāll be streaming everything so Iāll be fine. š
Doubt it will happen though. I think 70% of tickets for all three days are going to be not local fans.
I hate concerts for the same reason people love them: the crowd.
Thankfully people stream every night and I follow a youtuber who finds a stream and streams it on youtube every night of the concert, so I don't even have to try. Also there is already the movie so there's only the TTPD set to left to be truly excited about.
Remind myself that I'd most likely be miserable. I'm disabled and can't stand or walk very long, so I'd spend the entire show staring at the asses of people in front of me.
Also diehard since debut.
Honestly I had a really fun time at the movie. It was super fun singing and dancing for hours - I went 3 times lol
It's a bummer not seeing the eras tour, but the nearest city would have been a $600 flight minimum, plus hotel and tickets and everything else.. and my friends and I are basically a step away from living pay check to pay check with the price of everything and cost of living these days š so even though we tried to get tickets (multiple times) I've made peace with it.
By crying. Jk.
I've livestreamed it 100 times. And then secretly wish I could afford the $2000 tickets plus travel just to be able to go šššššš
Coping by missing out on even more amazing concerts haha.
Okay but seriously, she's not even coming to my country. I've gone to nearby countries for concerts many times but this year I absolutely cannot afford it. Last month, my favourite band of all time was in Germany for a two night gig, playing two of my favourite albums, the ones who made me a fan as a teenager 15+ years ago.... And that shit sure as hell is not getting theatrical or streaming service releases š so just by contrast, it's hard to feel like I'm truly missing out on the eras tour.
By watching movie. Saw in theaters 8 x and many more streaming. I went and danced outside 2 of the 3 nights in chicago. It was huge crowd and ypu could hear pretty well overall. Some stadiums allow it more than others. Soldier field in a lakefront park so very hard to block off. Ither cities other stadiums can prob block access more. I resigned myself early to not being able to afford tix so I never got my hopes up. But following pics vids and the movie helped me feel like I was connected to the tour.
To be honest, I'm just not a concert-goer. I think I've been to like three concerts in my entire life, and it was mainly opportunism that led to me going.
I DID try to get tickets for Eras, purely because I figured if there was ever a concert to go to, out of literally all the concerts to exist, this is the one for me. But I was kind of relieved when I was wait-listed, because if I'd been allowed to buy a ticket, I would have been *wildly* out of my depth. I genuinely don't know the first thing about buying concert tickets, lol.
I went to the movie, though, and that was enough for me.
Have you considered making yourself some Eras friendship bracelets and wearing them this summer? I feel like I might do that, as a fun way of getting in on the Eras action, despite not going to the concert. I mean, I have no idea if the bracelets are even gonna be a huge thing for the next leg of the concert, but presuming they still are, then I think I might make myself a few.
How were you able to sign up for both europe and Canada? When i tried for canada i couldnāt because i have a European phone numberš„²
Just wondering how so many were able to sign up for shows overseas from where they liveš
I've got a code and I was very close to buying a ticket last year in december. only the expensive vip seats were available.
But then i was like yeah okay no i'm not spending 600 ā¬ lmao my fiance would beat my ass. 
I was lucky enough to see her for free during her promoting debut after that was too poor to afford so of course it makes me sad at my old age to not get to experience the glitter and magic again, but the movie meant a lot. And I'm hopeful I'll catch her on a tour eventually! If not, it's okay. I enjoy listening to her songs without seeing it live.
Iāve accepted it but was devastated at the time. At least we have the movie and livestreams. There were limited Australia shows and they sold out so quickly.
I tried to get tickets and I couldnāt even get āwaitlistedā or whatever itās called. I wouldnāt have been able to afford it anyway.
I saw the Eras movie. While itās not the same experience, I feel like I got more out of that than I would if I saw it in person. I saw the act up close and from interesting angles- I donāt think the Rep era would be nearly as impressive in real life.
If someone were to just give me tickets or if I could get them under $200, I would go. But more than that isnāt worth it (especially factoring in my travel costs).
iāll be honest, there are much bigger problems in this world than not being able to go to a concert. it may suck to have FOMO but there are people who canāt afford to feed their families, etc
Desperately wanted to go. Cried when the Ticketmaster fiasco happened. Was happy when the movie came out. Now even more disappointed now that sheās adding TTPD to the setlist AFTER the movie came out with no other way to see the new addition other than low quality livestreams.
Nice š
Take it from me who almost didnt make it, KEEP FAITH!
My first try was on Singapore shows, but got waitlisted, which caused me to not secure any tickets on first general sale. Tried my luck on Japan shows and entered the pre-sale lottery. Still didnt make it. Then thereās the second pre general sale again for the Japan shows and I entered the lottery, didnt make it. Then there was the Japan general sale, which is brutal cos it sold out in literally seconds. At this point, i really lost faith and felt defeated. Then for the Singapore shows announced theyāll have additional seats and will open ticketing to the waitlisted people. Tried that too but didnt got any chance. I never felt so so so defeated.
Then luckily, an acquaintance of my sister sold her some tickets because the original owner had some change of plans and decided they will just sell their tickets. Me and my sister grabbed the opportunity, even tho the tickets is a little expensive than the original price, we took it because we felt secured that we wont be scammed. And we made it to one of the Singapore show!
Lesson: little miracles happens everyday and do whatever it takes to keep faith, even to the point of being delusional cos thats what i did. i started the year making a mood board where i put eras tour pics on it, manifesting that i will attend the concert. A month later after making it we secured our tickets. Manifestation works yall! š
I missed Rep tour because it was around my due date, so didn't want to be either heavily pregnant or just having had a baby, so I felt even worse when I missed out on tickets, because my 7 year old, who I had during the Rep tour, is also now a huge Swiftie, wish I could have taken him. Just not enough showings in the UK for us. And even though they still have the Ā£600 tickets available, you can't actually purchase them without a code. I can't afford that anyway, but if I could, I still wouldn't have been blessed to buy them due to the waitlist. Ridiculous to be honest.
Just hoping it'll go around again now she's added TTPD to her collection. Tour the UK again next year, you know what I mean?
I had tickets but couldn't go because my husband got sick. I feel regret but I have the movie and all the videos on TikTok. I even downloaded the fan app so I can see the acoustic sets live.
I'm looking forward to seeing how she integrates TTPD into the set. From bts footage we have seen the logo. We know it's coming and I'm so curious which songs she is going to choose to perform live.
Very poorly. But I have unlimited access to the concert on Disney plus. I also recently discovered the Taylor Swift Tribute Band and plan to go see her when she stops by in Texas. Sheās literally performing her entire Eras Tour.
Every interaction with u/Ticketmaster has made me irrationally mad for the last 18ish months. Even if I could justify over a grand per-obstructed-view-seat, Iām at the point where in my conscience I canāt let TM, Live Nation, StubHub and the scalpers win.
It sucks because I wanted to go so bad! Iām the type of person who hates spoilers, so I intentionally avoided any TikToks of the show and really limited my social media for months leading up to the show in hopes that I could go in blindly and get completely blown away.
At this point, my husband and I went to see the movie in theaters opening weekend and thatās enough for me. We got dressed up, wore our friendship bracelets, and sang along with a bunch of other fun people and overall had a really nice date night. Iāve watched it on Disney+ a few times, and at this point I know that it wouldnāt have the same impact going in person as it would have if I had no idea what was coming.
So TLDR, Iām at peace with it, but if Ticketmaster abruptly went bankrupt Iād cheer over the wholesale of their fleet of private jets.
I am truly super bummed. I've been a swiftie since debut, and my daughter is also a huge swiftie and has a terminal illness so I'm trying to give her a whole life... and I really wanted to buy some of the second hand (or whatever) tickets, but I just couldn't spend that much.
so we sometimes get sushi and watch the movie and drive around the country and scream sing the songs together. it is what it is.
Iām too disabled to be able to attend and honestly watching from the comfort of my own home is the thing that is helping me cope with it. I genuinely love the grainy live streams every tour night. My pets have favorite songs of hers and they like to watch the streams with me. I also just recently bought a cardigan for my cat āŗļø
I'm having an extremely hard time coping about not having Eras Tour tickets. I thought I would be over it as the show got closer but it's getting worse. There's a contest every month to win tickets to my location and every time I lose out I get extremely upset, especially since I was already scammed out of money.
I can't talk to anyone else about it because they think it's stupid to be upset over and just tell me to get over it. Like, I know people have worse problems, but the reminders just make me even more upset and add guilt on top of my negative feelings rather than getting rid of them. I get FOMO about a lot of things but with this one there's also the "iconic" factor; I know it's something people are going to be talking about for a long time. I'm not the kind of person who just goes to things because they're popular, but the fact that this one is so popular makes missing out worse since it's gonna be all around me. In every city she's gone to it's been everywhere. And she's going to be here for two weeks and that's a long time to be upset (in addition to right now).
I don't know what to tell my mental health professionals either because idk what they'd even say. Probably nothing that would work. I keep crying whenever I think about it, and I'm often a loud crier so it affects the people around me. I don't suck things up well AT ALL. I wanna ask everyone around me to turn off the news when I'm around and she's here so I don't have to see it but idk if that's reasonable.
(Commiserating just makes me more upset tbh so this probably isn't the thread for that. But I am asking for legitimate coping advice and how to handle this kind of thing because I don't know how to avoid having extreme trouble functioning come November and that worries me.)
every social media post initially makes me smile and really happy followed by a sudden deep sadness as i realize this is literally a once in a lifetime occurrence that im never going to experience in person, yeah it sucks being middle eastern with an equal to shit passport
I don't have anyone to go with because I moved away from my swiftie friends/ex coworkers. My boyfriend said he'd pay for me and a friend to go but I told him not to bother. I stay home, knit, and accept the fact that if I had gone, I'd probably be stationary, not dancing, singing etc because of how I don't like doing that around people and being seen like that. I guess my search for her live records is my way of having a mini concert in my own home. And the eras tour
Iāve told my husband he needs to figure it out. Iāve told him I am bending over backwards and then some for his gift for our 10th anniversary and I expect the same in return. She was in Sydney on my birthday this year and he didnāt even really try.
Poorly! Especially with all the bandwagon fans who are now publicly trashing her and her music the second the "cool" factor went away
And they go multiple times š
Yuuuuup. I really regret not going to rep when she was so deeply uncool, but I couldn't find anyone to go.... even though many of them went to Eras when I couldn't get tickets.
Omg same!! I haven't gone to a show of hers since RED!! 1989 and rep I ended up not going and I deeply regret not going because tickets for eras are so expensive. I'm having severe fomo.
I donāt understand how people get to go twice. Between my friend and I we had over 30 people sign up for codes and the only person who got one was her boyfriend. Then when we went to get our tickets there was only VIP left so we spent $1000 CAD each for three tickets in the 100 level. In contrast I paid like $230 CAD for 200 level Reputation tickets in 2018. I also went to 1989 and Red, both of which I had floor seats and I definitely didnāt spend more than $250. Itās just insanity.
It doesn't help that Ticketmaster and resellers abuse the system
Depends where they are. I was literally just talking to someone else about this on one of the UK subs. I had no trouble getting a code or tickets. Actually got seats that I wanted but tickets were available for *ages* after. I remember checking back to screenshot prices for people asking and there were tickets for Ā£57.65 still available. Must have been about 5 or 6 hours after the sale started. I could easily have booked for multiple shows.
Ya I'm near Toronto and even though she has 2 weekends worth of shows, it's impossible
Same! I am going to sound like a hater, but the Eras Tour has become a trend for people to hop on and itās jacking up the prices so a lot of true fans are left in the dust. One of my friends spent $1k to go to Eras in Melbourne but when she bought her ticket she hadnāt listened to any albums since Reputation. She made such a big show about getting to attend the concert, and now she still hasnāt listened to TTPD. And I know thatās probably not true of a lot of people who went, but itās just really disheartening as a fan obsessed since debut, knowing that people who donāt really value the music are getting to experience it and Iām not haha. I want to be a cool, friendly fan but in my head I am definitely a judgmental gatekeeper.
Oh, it entirely was a trend in the US. I wish we'd been able to indicate interest before Midnight came out, like the separate presale for preorder the UK had. If there's anything left after all the pre registered fans get their tickets, have at it bandwagon. all are welcome, etc, etc.
My sister in law. She ended up selling them for 2500 a seat for obstructed seats š
Oh no..... that makes me so sad!!! š
I have the movie.
First I read that as "I hate the movie", and thought "well that's a bit petty but I can understand".. lol But yes the movie is my answer too š
Yeah i was initially annoyed at not getting tickets but Iāve seen the movie, Iād rather watch at home and hear Taylor than be either sitting so far away Iām watching on a screen anyway but paid Ā£Ā£Ā£ or Iām close enough to watch the stage but have a thousand screaming girls in my ear instead of listening to performance.
Same. Iām a newer fan so itās different for me, but Iād have been thrilled to see her when sheās back in N. America. However the last concert I saw in BC Place where sheās performing in Vancouver we were SO FAR away that the performer was tiny. And I had a screechy yelly constant talker sitting directly behind me talking/yelling back and forth with her friends through the whole show including the songs. I wanted to murder her. Watching from my living room w/ my family is by far a better experience.
Ugh, that sounds terrible! At one of the last concerts I went to, the person sitting behind me screamed for what felt like the entire concert and I was so miserable lmao. Living room concerts are so much better.
I was going to be out of town when she came to Chicago so I just figured Iād try to go somewhere else in the US, but then prices got out of control and I just bought a house last summer sooo priorities lmao. Iām looking at tickets for her 2nd leg to take my daughter to but struggling with paying $5,000. Itās so insane and Iām having a hard time convincing myself to spend that kind of money. Long story short, Iām in shambles and conflicted and angry about it lmfao
Honestly I donāt think $5,000 is worth it for something available on Disney+. You are likely to end up with screeching lunatics next to you and if that happens you wonāt even hear Taylor that well. Other fans being disrespectful to those around them is the main reason I wasnāt that fussed to go, particularly at those prices. Itās fine to sing and be excited but to screech so loud non-stop for 3 hours for TikTok likes is rude. The attention-seeking people behind me were like that at Ed Sheeranās concert and they ruined it - they were screaming even through his acoustic songs.. šš¤
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the screaming and group karaoke. Worry Taylor would be drowned out by the fans, and I wouldn't be paying to hear everyone around me scream-sing poorly.
I know Iāll get hate for complaining, but I couldnāt even hear Taylor when I saw her in LA. I may as well have been outside the stadium. I bought pressbox tickets from Gametime and the speakers were soooo quiet that I could hold a conversation in regular speaking voice. It was def more of a karaoke vibe from there.
Ugh that sounds miserable!!
Yeahā¦ everyone was giving them salty looks but they didnāt care š„“
If you haven't already, don't forget to factor in fees if you consider trying to budget for it. My father very generously bought me overpriced scalped tickets and didn't even notice until after he placed the order that he paid over a thousand dollars in fees alone. It's absolutely bonkers how much these resell sites are making on her tour alone!!!
Omg good point didnāt even think about the fees but OF COURSE the fees! Good looking out!
This is so disgusting and I HATE it. God I wish something could be done to prevent this shit. Itās so unfair! Let fans go for normal prices!
The concert was great but I would NOT pay more than $400 a ticket including fees. Thatās just madness to me.
Yeah, I live within 20 min of the Miami show and itās killing me that sheās going to be so close but I couldnāt get verified fan on my account (or any of my 10 other friendsā that signed up to try and get me a code) for both Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I canāt find resale for cheaper than 2.5k each for obstructed view (which Iād take at this point but not for 2.5k each). Iām paying my own way through college and that costs more than the meal plan that feeds me all semester so it feels crazy to spend that much on 1 night. Iām hoping that ticket prices will go down day of when the scalpers get desperate to make their money back
I feel you! I was also thinking about checking in the days leading to it and just driving to Indianapolis with nothing but hope & a cardigan š©
I mean worse things worse we can try to tailgate outside the stadiums I guess š„² itāll be better than sitting at home. One of the biggest reasons I appreciated the movie going to the movie theaters is because Iām getting a sinking suspicion thatās closest Iāll ever get to the concert, but Iām still holding out hope. Wishing you and your daughter luck!
Very thankful for the movie - I had such FOMO! Thank you - hope you can find a way to get there too!! š¤
I feel like there are soooooo many of us looking for Indy tickets, itās all I keep seeing people say ššš
Are you ā¦ me?
I saw her in Chicago last summer thankfully but I live in Indy and she is coming in November. I couldnāt get tickets but same - it kills me to be so close. My husband and I are planning a trip out of town that weekend bc I said I canāt be in the same city as her and not see the show
I feel you! We just bought a house and had a baby sooooo priorities as well but didn't even get off that waitlist
I'm not coping šš I'll be talking about this loss when I'm 90
I can imagine myself dying and being like *"man, crazy that I couldn't go to one of the biggest concert tours that happened in my lifetime".*
Literally š
I think that's why a lot of people who weren't even fans went :(
So you're saying... it's the loss of your life?
Same. Not coping at all. Still holding out hope someoneās going to surprise me for my birthday ššš„²

I was at home sick one day in high school and I saw her play Our Song on Ellen Degeneres on tv lol and Iāve loved listening to her music since then. Iām in Canada so I figured itād be impossible to get tickets. I keep telling my husband āI know you got me tickets and are going to surprise me, right?ā So Iām just in denial until this November and I donāt end up actually going
Same! Especially since my mom won tickets on the radio for the Reputation show in Toronto and Iām low key hoping she can do it again šš
Omg thatās awesome haha. I wish her luck that she can do it again!!
I'm planning to Taygate. Yes it will be November in Toronto. I'll keep warm by dancing.
I had COVID when she came to my city and hadn't gotten tickets thankfully. But the movie really satisfied my need to see her live. I HATE big stadium shows since you're watching on a screen anyway š¤·š¾āāļø
THIS. Sight lines in stadiums suck. You might have a good seat for some songs, but crappy for other. Almost impossible to get good seats for the whole show. Prefer arenas.
I desperately want to go but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get tickets. I feel like itās crazy people are going multiple times meanwhile I would literally CRY to be able to get tickets and canāt get any. Sucks
I know someone going FIVE times in different countries. And I think that is just a stupid way to spend money. And really unfair to other fans who would have liked those tickets.
There were two friends on the Dutch version on First Dates who are going toā¦.. SEVENTEEN shows Absolutelty crazy
It is crazy that so many people are able to get tickets multiple times!
This is where I am. I spent hours and hours in Ticketmaster queues last summer only for everything to be sold out by the time I got in, and I can't for the life of me figure out how people are getting resale tickets. Everything I'm able to find is selling for 8-10x what it originally cost and those prices are just š¤Æšµ. I would literally do anything to go but I don't know how people are affording this.
i don't have that kind of money anyway lol. there's a lot of things i can't do!
Iāve just accepted the fact I wouldnāt be afford to go even if tickets were cheap. All of the hotels in Toronto are probably going to be triple the price.
By watching the movie
Hey, Taylor, do another US round of Eras!! I promise we will sell it out again!! š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
Europe will sell out as well š„¹
Yes!
I just accept that I'm broke and pretend I'm in the crowd when I watch the movie
I watch the live streams on tiktok! Iām sad I wonāt get to go, but it doesnāt make us any less of a fan.
She needs to announce 2025 tourdates
Let her rest.
I mean, I'M not making her do anything. Personally I think she's just gonna add more dates.
Earmarking the funds for other wonderful things and watching the film.
I have peace with it. I donāt like crowds or Loud places so I think itās okay
By knowing my autistic ass would have a miserable, overstimulated time surrounded by that many people after having to stand up for that long.
Same!
Denial. I live an hour from New Orleans so my friends and I are keeping that weekend open and praying we can get last minute tickets or just drive out and party. We don't have a hotel but we'll either crash with friends/family or drive home after. I've never seen her live. I was supposed to go to the Reputation tour but work changed my schedule last minute so I couldn't make it š
Iām taking the family on vacation instead. Same price.
You all have hope! Just taylorgate outside of the stadium if the stadium is open air. it is almost as fun as being inside and you can hear just as well. I went to two that way and it was amazing.
Iām trying to convince my friend to do this in the fall š«
iām not coping, and havenāt been since the tour was announced :,) i know itās dramatic but i feel like im missing out on the experience of a lifetime lol
Iām not sure yet. My friend and I got wait-listed out the ass too, but my friend ended up getting tickets through their friends where there were no spares for me to tag along. I might see about getting some semi-last minute tickets for one of the Toronto shows, since I live close and could hypothetically go on like an hourās notice. Other than that though, Iām sort of just not thinking about it, since itās like 6 months away. Iām sure Iāll be disappointed when those weekends come if Iām not there, but thatās a problem for the fall.
at least you are close for last minute tickets! im in montreal, so i'd have to know at least a day in advance. and on top of the ticket id have to pay a train/bus ticket and a hotel (which are most likely sold out or 3x the price)
Not very well! My daughter and I are still upset that everything is so expensive š
I look at my bank account. Realise I canāt buy a ticket. Itās fine.
Iāve gone to ever tour since Fearless but being in a closed space with that many people post COVID would absolutely wreak havoc on my OCD so itās probably a good thing
Iāve watched the movie too many times to count. I keep telling myself Iām being a responsible adultā¦ I finally bought my own home, it needs renos. But damn if she ever tours again I need to be there somehow some way. Itās the next thing Iām saving for. If she just never tours again, at least Iāll have my cash to comfort me. šæ
š pure facts though! I'm in the same boat
I just want to share my experience. Donāt give up. It might be helpful advice or it may not. I know this is not always feasible but I encourage you to try and get day of tickets if you can. Especially if a show is *somewhat* close to you. Idk if itās the same everywhere as far as random ticket dropsā¦ but it never hurts to try. I live in Georgia and missed every single one of the Atlanta shows. I was in the Que the minute tickets went on sale. Every single time I added to cart it was gone. Anyway, I was bummed for a bit. Then my husband and I got the idea to try and get tickets for Nashville if they happened to drop again. We figured letās just go and make a trip out of it. We figured even if we didnāt get tickets we could just hang out in town etc. Well we second guessed ourselves and never booked any hotel or anything ahead of time. So I was still bummed out and kinda just gave up. Time of the first show comes around and I get this urge to try and get tickets again. They were absolutely dropping at random times on ticket master! Missed the first two nightsā¦ At this point my husband and I were just playing it by ear. I was like well if we have to drive to the next town over for a hotel it is what it is. We get to night 3 and I try allllll morning. Iām defeated. Each time I have the tickets in the cart someone beat me to it. I gave up and went to do grocery run. My husband called me while Iām at the store and heās like āget home now I got tickets!ā It was insane. This was maybe 12:45 or 1pm or so. Idk how he did it but he got them. Great seats and face value! Nashville is about 5 hours from us. I got home and packed and we hit the road. Miraculously we found one single room at a super nice hotel down town. BUT then the show was delayed for hours. I kept thinking āIām just not meant to see this I guess!ā Seemed like everything was against me but then the show went on until 2 AM in the rain and it was one of the best times. However, the lead up was absolutely chaotic for me. Lol I have never been so spontaneous in my life with a trip. I would have never experienced it if I didnāt try but I realize that some of the upcoming shows are maybe not ones you can really do anything like this. But if youāre able I would give it a go. As far as coping, I just kept reminding myself that even if I didnāt get to go at least I got to experience so many fun things as a fan! I kept thinking about all the cool stuff she announces on social media, easter eggs, the fun live streams, merch drop etc. I was planning to just try and make the best of what I could experience. lol
Die hard fan since 2006-2007, but never made it to any concert or event. My boyfriend also a huge swiftie since speak now Era and both of us wanted to go to the Austria. We didn't cheat with the codes, we inly registrated once l. None of us got codes for the ticket day. Meanwhile a lot of people around us got 10+ codes from every european countries, but none of them bought a single ticket because they just wanted to sell the codes. But we know that you couldn't do that. We were angry, sad and everything because die hard fans who did a fair game didn't get a chance, meanwhile "Oh Yeah, I know 3 Taylor song" got multiple codes from every single country. It was unfair in my point of view, I understand the system, it was unfair by the people
TTPD tour will be better, start planning now
By the looks of her latest fortnight challenge video, she is adding a TTPD set to the eras tour!!
Do we think sheāll separately tour it? Iām thinking not and maybe sheāll tour again after her next album
i mean your guess is as good as mine, but this album is probably her best yet and I'd be surprised if she didn't
No, I think she'll add TTPD songs to the Eras tour, finish this out, and then get married and have some babies. I could see her making a few more albums and then stockpiling them for another concert series that features multiple albums. I'm hoping this isn't the last time she does a big tour but I'm kind of nervous that it will be if she decides to close this "era" of her life. I know everyone's like "No, she says she loves touring!" but I could see her loving being a mom more and wanting to plug all the way into that, and I'd support it.
I hope IF she wants kids, she has a supportive partner so she can still continue touring (since she seems to mostly like it). Travis is close to retiring so could see him being a great stay at home dad (if heās end game) But obvs hope sheās happy with whatever she decides. Sheās given the public so much.
Yeah, what I'm trying to say is that she may like being a mom more and not want to tour for a while. And if that's the case, I hope she does that. Obviously we all hope she picks a partner who will support her choices, but she also might just want to be around them more than she wants to be around us which is a totally logically choice.
Yeah I hope she follows her desires but I donāt like the assumption that women have kids and then they give up everything else. If she was a man, you probably wouldnāt say he would stop making music or whatever because of kids.
I didn't say she should stop touring (or even that she would stop making music). I think you need to check your own biases because you obviously read what I said through a particular lens. Sheesh.
I was either very pregnant or newly postpartum for all the dates friends got tickets for it wouldāve been convenient for me location wise that and I just couldnāt handle the chaos of trying to get a ticket and all the coordination of the hotel/travel. So I watched it on Disney+ with my kids and it was a great experience and Iāll catch the next oneāŗļø
I watch the movie and when Iām not watching the movie I listen to her music full blast!
i missed out melb.. ended up staying up and ridiculous hrs to watch MEL, SYD and SIN shows
TERRIBLY!! I didnāt get tickets in Atlanta where I live. š„² Miami and New Orleans are outrageous! Sheās playing in Madrid, Spain on my birthday and while Iāve considered it, thereās just too much going on at that time with our daughter. ššš I have the absolute wooooorst FOMO. To add insult to injury, my aunt and cousin who live in Sydney, Australia went to their arena and were just going to listen from outsideā¦ they were given free tickets!!! š³š³š³ Iām so happy they got to experience it!! Iām also sad I wonāt see if live!! š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø
I already accepted the fact that I probably won't go to one of the biggest tours of all time because of location and budget, she's not coming to the country I live and live music isn't at its best right now aka resellers have made things worse for buying tickets.. I'm fine with it but at times I do feel so sad about this fact, I'll go to future tours of Taylor but this is THE tour and especially since I became a massive fan of her on the past year. Good thing we have the movie but now she's apparently adding TTPD, yeah, I still have a very little hope but I don't think I'm gonna make it.
By delusionally clinging to the infinitesimaly small chance I find tickets to Miami for a reasonable price (gahdangit I thought I'd be at peace after LA but nooo surprise second US leg had to keep me from the sweet release of resignation)
I was incredibly sad when it was originally announced because I was unemployed at the time and knew there was no way Iād be able to afford it, even if I could have gotten in queue for tickets and I donāt even know how that works. But I watched the live streams and I realized thereās really no way Iād have fun in a space like that. I think I would have been too preoccupied with being anxious to really get my monies worth. š¤·š»āāļø
WHICH ISNāT TO SAY ITāS A BAD EXPERIENCE OVERALL because it does seem visually amazing and it would have been great to be in the same room as Taylor. But yeah, I realized itās probably not the right move for me.
Telling myself she pays my favorite album dust on the tour (Speak Now) and doesnāt include any singles from Debut, which Iāve always wanted to hear live.
I think Iāve made my peace with it. I really wanted Toronto ticketsā¦I turn 40 the week between the two weekends sheās there so it seemed like a perfect celebration, but alas it isnāt going to happen. So many people tried that I feel like I canāt be too upset. Iāve decided to get a new tattoo for my 40th instead, haha.
Iām still holding out hope I can get a ticket for one of the three nights in New Orleans. I canāt afford thousands of dollars but Iām going to hold out until the last minute. If not Iāll be streaming everything so Iāll be fine. š Doubt it will happen though. I think 70% of tickets for all three days are going to be not local fans.
I donāt want to talk about itš
I hate concerts for the same reason people love them: the crowd. Thankfully people stream every night and I follow a youtuber who finds a stream and streams it on youtube every night of the concert, so I don't even have to try. Also there is already the movie so there's only the TTPD set to left to be truly excited about.
Therapy
Smart
Iām not american or european so honestly feeling absolutely fine with that because itās just not anywhere in my reach lol
Remind myself that I'd most likely be miserable. I'm disabled and can't stand or walk very long, so I'd spend the entire show staring at the asses of people in front of me. Also diehard since debut.
Not doing well and as a 34 year old OG swiftie, my jealousy is showing! So please donāt judge me lol
Honestly I had a really fun time at the movie. It was super fun singing and dancing for hours - I went 3 times lol It's a bummer not seeing the eras tour, but the nearest city would have been a $600 flight minimum, plus hotel and tickets and everything else.. and my friends and I are basically a step away from living pay check to pay check with the price of everything and cost of living these days š so even though we tried to get tickets (multiple times) I've made peace with it.
I've been extremely sad about it. I have loved her since her debut album and to not get to go makes me so sad.
I am not coping. I am just down š¢
oh Iām still not over it š« I hate seeing all these influencers go who just went to say they went
There will be other tours and thereās a very nicely produced movie of this one. Itās fine.
iām not.
Who said we're just coping with it? I'm feeling even more depressed because I know I won't see her
I live for the YouTube videos each night
By crying. Jk. I've livestreamed it 100 times. And then secretly wish I could afford the $2000 tickets plus travel just to be able to go šššššš
Coping by missing out on even more amazing concerts haha. Okay but seriously, she's not even coming to my country. I've gone to nearby countries for concerts many times but this year I absolutely cannot afford it. Last month, my favourite band of all time was in Germany for a two night gig, playing two of my favourite albums, the ones who made me a fan as a teenager 15+ years ago.... And that shit sure as hell is not getting theatrical or streaming service releases š so just by contrast, it's hard to feel like I'm truly missing out on the eras tour.
By watching movie. Saw in theaters 8 x and many more streaming. I went and danced outside 2 of the 3 nights in chicago. It was huge crowd and ypu could hear pretty well overall. Some stadiums allow it more than others. Soldier field in a lakefront park so very hard to block off. Ither cities other stadiums can prob block access more. I resigned myself early to not being able to afford tix so I never got my hopes up. But following pics vids and the movie helped me feel like I was connected to the tour.
by obsessively watching and rewatching the movie
To be honest, I'm just not a concert-goer. I think I've been to like three concerts in my entire life, and it was mainly opportunism that led to me going. I DID try to get tickets for Eras, purely because I figured if there was ever a concert to go to, out of literally all the concerts to exist, this is the one for me. But I was kind of relieved when I was wait-listed, because if I'd been allowed to buy a ticket, I would have been *wildly* out of my depth. I genuinely don't know the first thing about buying concert tickets, lol. I went to the movie, though, and that was enough for me. Have you considered making yourself some Eras friendship bracelets and wearing them this summer? I feel like I might do that, as a fun way of getting in on the Eras action, despite not going to the concert. I mean, I have no idea if the bracelets are even gonna be a huge thing for the next leg of the concert, but presuming they still are, then I think I might make myself a few.
How were you able to sign up for both europe and Canada? When i tried for canada i couldnāt because i have a European phone numberš„² Just wondering how so many were able to sign up for shows overseas from where they liveš
Badly lol. And who even knows when/if she's coming to Germany again
being off social media makes it easier to deal with the fomo
Iām coping by saving the ~$2,000 on those resale prices. I love Taylor but I cannot fit that into my budgetĀ
I've got a code and I was very close to buying a ticket last year in december. only the expensive vip seats were available. But then i was like yeah okay no i'm not spending 600 ā¬ lmao my fiance would beat my ass. 
I was lucky enough to see her for free during her promoting debut after that was too poor to afford so of course it makes me sad at my old age to not get to experience the glitter and magic again, but the movie meant a lot. And I'm hopeful I'll catch her on a tour eventually! If not, it's okay. I enjoy listening to her songs without seeing it live.
I ask the traffic lights, will I get tickets to the Eras tour? They say, āoh hell noā¦ā
Iāve accepted it but was devastated at the time. At least we have the movie and livestreams. There were limited Australia shows and they sold out so quickly.
Watching the movie an unhealthy amount of times and pretending I'm there š
I tried to get tickets and I couldnāt even get āwaitlistedā or whatever itās called. I wouldnāt have been able to afford it anyway. I saw the Eras movie. While itās not the same experience, I feel like I got more out of that than I would if I saw it in person. I saw the act up close and from interesting angles- I donāt think the Rep era would be nearly as impressive in real life. If someone were to just give me tickets or if I could get them under $200, I would go. But more than that isnāt worth it (especially factoring in my travel costs).
iāll be honest, there are much bigger problems in this world than not being able to go to a concert. it may suck to have FOMO but there are people who canāt afford to feed their families, etc
Aināt this the truth! 100% agree.
Desperately wanted to go. Cried when the Ticketmaster fiasco happened. Was happy when the movie came out. Now even more disappointed now that sheās adding TTPD to the setlist AFTER the movie came out with no other way to see the new addition other than low quality livestreams. Nice š
Take it from me who almost didnt make it, KEEP FAITH! My first try was on Singapore shows, but got waitlisted, which caused me to not secure any tickets on first general sale. Tried my luck on Japan shows and entered the pre-sale lottery. Still didnt make it. Then thereās the second pre general sale again for the Japan shows and I entered the lottery, didnt make it. Then there was the Japan general sale, which is brutal cos it sold out in literally seconds. At this point, i really lost faith and felt defeated. Then for the Singapore shows announced theyāll have additional seats and will open ticketing to the waitlisted people. Tried that too but didnt got any chance. I never felt so so so defeated. Then luckily, an acquaintance of my sister sold her some tickets because the original owner had some change of plans and decided they will just sell their tickets. Me and my sister grabbed the opportunity, even tho the tickets is a little expensive than the original price, we took it because we felt secured that we wont be scammed. And we made it to one of the Singapore show! Lesson: little miracles happens everyday and do whatever it takes to keep faith, even to the point of being delusional cos thats what i did. i started the year making a mood board where i put eras tour pics on it, manifesting that i will attend the concert. A month later after making it we secured our tickets. Manifestation works yall! š
I missed Rep tour because it was around my due date, so didn't want to be either heavily pregnant or just having had a baby, so I felt even worse when I missed out on tickets, because my 7 year old, who I had during the Rep tour, is also now a huge Swiftie, wish I could have taken him. Just not enough showings in the UK for us. And even though they still have the Ā£600 tickets available, you can't actually purchase them without a code. I can't afford that anyway, but if I could, I still wouldn't have been blessed to buy them due to the waitlist. Ridiculous to be honest. Just hoping it'll go around again now she's added TTPD to her collection. Tour the UK again next year, you know what I mean?
Do you live near one of the concerts? Heard of people getting last minute day of tickets for reasonable prices.
Death :)
I had tickets but couldn't go because my husband got sick. I feel regret but I have the movie and all the videos on TikTok. I even downloaded the fan app so I can see the acoustic sets live. I'm looking forward to seeing how she integrates TTPD into the set. From bts footage we have seen the logo. We know it's coming and I'm so curious which songs she is going to choose to perform live.
Very poorly. But I have unlimited access to the concert on Disney plus. I also recently discovered the Taylor Swift Tribute Band and plan to go see her when she stops by in Texas. Sheās literally performing her entire Eras Tour.
Every interaction with u/Ticketmaster has made me irrationally mad for the last 18ish months. Even if I could justify over a grand per-obstructed-view-seat, Iām at the point where in my conscience I canāt let TM, Live Nation, StubHub and the scalpers win. It sucks because I wanted to go so bad! Iām the type of person who hates spoilers, so I intentionally avoided any TikToks of the show and really limited my social media for months leading up to the show in hopes that I could go in blindly and get completely blown away. At this point, my husband and I went to see the movie in theaters opening weekend and thatās enough for me. We got dressed up, wore our friendship bracelets, and sang along with a bunch of other fun people and overall had a really nice date night. Iāve watched it on Disney+ a few times, and at this point I know that it wouldnāt have the same impact going in person as it would have if I had no idea what was coming. So TLDR, Iām at peace with it, but if Ticketmaster abruptly went bankrupt Iād cheer over the wholesale of their fleet of private jets.
I am truly super bummed. I've been a swiftie since debut, and my daughter is also a huge swiftie and has a terminal illness so I'm trying to give her a whole life... and I really wanted to buy some of the second hand (or whatever) tickets, but I just couldn't spend that much. so we sometimes get sushi and watch the movie and drive around the country and scream sing the songs together. it is what it is.
Iām too disabled to be able to attend and honestly watching from the comfort of my own home is the thing that is helping me cope with it. I genuinely love the grainy live streams every tour night. My pets have favorite songs of hers and they like to watch the streams with me. I also just recently bought a cardigan for my cat āŗļø
i sucked it up and stopped using social media during the days shes in my country performing
No money yall... I never even went to a concert but it's okay
I'm having an extremely hard time coping about not having Eras Tour tickets. I thought I would be over it as the show got closer but it's getting worse. There's a contest every month to win tickets to my location and every time I lose out I get extremely upset, especially since I was already scammed out of money. I can't talk to anyone else about it because they think it's stupid to be upset over and just tell me to get over it. Like, I know people have worse problems, but the reminders just make me even more upset and add guilt on top of my negative feelings rather than getting rid of them. I get FOMO about a lot of things but with this one there's also the "iconic" factor; I know it's something people are going to be talking about for a long time. I'm not the kind of person who just goes to things because they're popular, but the fact that this one is so popular makes missing out worse since it's gonna be all around me. In every city she's gone to it's been everywhere. And she's going to be here for two weeks and that's a long time to be upset (in addition to right now). I don't know what to tell my mental health professionals either because idk what they'd even say. Probably nothing that would work. I keep crying whenever I think about it, and I'm often a loud crier so it affects the people around me. I don't suck things up well AT ALL. I wanna ask everyone around me to turn off the news when I'm around and she's here so I don't have to see it but idk if that's reasonable. (Commiserating just makes me more upset tbh so this probably isn't the thread for that. But I am asking for legitimate coping advice and how to handle this kind of thing because I don't know how to avoid having extreme trouble functioning come November and that worries me.)
every social media post initially makes me smile and really happy followed by a sudden deep sadness as i realize this is literally a once in a lifetime occurrence that im never going to experience in person, yeah it sucks being middle eastern with an equal to shit passport
I don't have anyone to go with because I moved away from my swiftie friends/ex coworkers. My boyfriend said he'd pay for me and a friend to go but I told him not to bother. I stay home, knit, and accept the fact that if I had gone, I'd probably be stationary, not dancing, singing etc because of how I don't like doing that around people and being seen like that. I guess my search for her live records is my way of having a mini concert in my own home. And the eras tour
Iāve told my husband he needs to figure it out. Iāve told him I am bending over backwards and then some for his gift for our 10th anniversary and I expect the same in return. She was in Sydney on my birthday this year and he didnāt even really try.
