People going to multiple Eras dates are selfish

I’m not a Taylor Swift fan but I can say from the reviews of people who have been it doesn’t sound worth going once never mind twice or more. There are multiple reports that the £660 ticket holders had obstructed views by tents and scaffolding and could barely see Taylor. Others have said they were surrounded by crying fans singing out of tune so they could barely hear her.
I’m not impressed by her as a person - for example she walked into a restaurant with her boyfriend- everyone was told Taylor is paying for all your meals (hurray for Taylor! They say) but you all have to eff off and leave right now so Taylor and her boyfriend can have the place to themselves.

😂
I’m ambivalent about the selling and multiple going. I feel really invested. My DD’s are mid/ late 20’s and she’s been around since they were v early teens. When Britney was problematic she was positive. About body positivity, relationships, gender roles, ownership of her work, everything. Via presale codes I got and DD1 paid for and went in Stockholm with friends. I was a bit salty that she didn’t include me so then we went together paying £400 each in Murrayfield via StubHub for the best spot in the ground. DD2 is going with friends of DD1 who have a drop out in August and I’ve just this morning bought via a code 2 restricted view but “courtside” tickets for £58 each tomorrow. I briefly considered buying my allocation of four and reselling. I’ll take a colleague for free if I can’t persuade my 80 yo dad who also loves her, and I calculate that means “friendsandfamilyrandoname”have seen her 8 times, just over £100/ ticket.

Touts and people who buy just for resale profit are selfish and should be banned. I have no issue with people who love any music going to see it multiple times. I have seen bands I like on different ocassions and get something different from it every time.

Back in the day I used to follow a lot of bands and do their whole UK tour. Lots were sell out tours. Never once had anyone tell me that it was unfair and it never once crossed my mind that it was either! I bought tickets the same as everyone else. I even used touts if I had to. They weren't £100+ a ticket back then mind you, I couldn't do it these days. YABU.

Good- so she should. Might be better not to produce so much CO2 in the first place.

It’s every man for himself these days.

My daughter is 16, she earns about £400 a month in her part time job. She saves half and then the rest basically goes on concert tickets - that's her 'thing' and what she likes doing. Shes doesn't go out buying clothes or crap all the time.

She is seeing Taylor 3 times - twice solo of which one was paid for her as a Xmas present and she bought the other. Then once with her sister and me through hospitality that I paid for. So she has only actually used 2 of her 4 'allowed' tickets through general sale.

She paid 2.5 times more than legally required to have her carbon emissions for this tour offset.

Dd is going twice. We went last night and she is going again tonight. She organised all the presale codes. She did it all while at home under 24/7 supervision from us with anorexia and suicidal ideation. I am sure knowing TS story of anorexia gave her a really good vision of how she could truly beat anorexia (I am not sure she will ever beat it but she is at school and engaging with the world around her). She is autistic, TS would definitely be her special interest.

it feels very difficult to begrudge her seeing her twice!

Accidentally voted YABU and now I can't seem to change it, but I agree.

I'm not a Swiftie and have no skin in this game but yeah, people should go once and then let others have a chance.

What I find selfish is Swift’s carbon footprint as she is said to be one of the worst offenders in terms of private jet use. It’s a shame because apart from that she seems like a good role model. Unrestrained use of private jets is undoubtedly very selfish.

The sun will still get up tomorrow sure I want something I don't get I feel disappointed but life goes on, to some its an obsession I think people need to calm down

Same DD and her best friend both got pre order codes. First day of sale DD best friend got 4 tickets so DD has one for August Wembley (plus best friend her mum and another friend). Next day I got 4 tickets for today so I am going DD best friend and a different friend.
Both love Taylor Swift, both want to go together and can’t imagine one going more than the other. Both us mums want to experience it with them plus give someone else a chance to go.

there will never be enough tickets for everyone who wants to go, people will always buy expensive tickets I was never going to stop DD and her best friend doing this together - they got the code bought the albums themselves and saved some money towards the tickets

No it's not selfish.

It’s about priorities. this was our mini break this year as 3 out of 4 of the family are huge fans.

Hahah obviously! ☺️ @Ariel45

It’s not though, her and Paramore’s surprise songs are different every night. I’ve followed bands throughout the years and been to multiple concerts because why not!? Also seen Taylor twice in Edinburgh just because I wanted to!

I have seen my favourite artist multiple times, each time they tour. A friend and I had some great road trips, driving to each town, meeting other fans in the hotel bars, staying in some places that turned out to be dives, eating biscuits in bed at 2 a.m. and checking for fleas!! I do not regret any of it.

But you probably spend your money on different things that others think how do you afford it as it's probably not something they prioritise. I have spent a lot on tickets in the past, not TS I will add as it's not really my choice of music but I have seen other artists several times on the same tour

Try almost 20 years and she’s had more success than any of these artists you have mentioned.

Them's the breaks. It's not that big of a deal.

My DD bought tickets when they were released and so did her friend. She therefore went to see TS twice, as did her friend because they agreed that if they got tickets they would let each other have one. They were both lucky enough to be successful. Should she take someone else just because you think they shouldn’t go twice? It’s not selfish she’s saved up and bought tickets and had the same opportunity as everyone else. I take it that if your friend manages to get tickets and there was an opportunity for your DD to go again you would decline.

I think what's unfair is how bloody complicated it is to get tickets!

I got some through the LFC supported club that friends DH is in.

It's absolutely insanely complicated
Even then we paid £150 for the tickets.

I don't even know how people are getting them on the day.

I did get a code for the general release but I have no idea how that works
