Taylor Swift tickets help!

My DD (14) is a massive Taylor fan. She is very excited at the thought of her touring UK and is desperate to see her. I've told her it was be very difficult to get tickets and sites will probably crash/sell out in minutes as they did in USA. I'm trying to manage her expectations but DD gets very upset when I say this! We've had a difficult couple of years (divorce and a bereavement) and I really would love to be able to take her. I've signed up to Taylor's websites for notifications, but does anyone have any hints/tips on other ways to help get a ticket.... priority websites etc?! Thanks in advance!

And DD2 has messaged to say she and her friends have got tickets for the same show. I now need to work out where I am going to sleep 8 people as they are all coming to stay with us!

Got my code for Vienna dates which open tomorrow !!

DD has 2 tickets for Edinburgh, she’s beyond ecstatic. ‘Only’ 100 quid each too. Now there’s just the cost of flights and accommodations on too of that…
We now have a lot of codes that won’t (need to) be used… she wasn’t expecting to get tickets for that price at the first shot.

I got 3 tickets for Wembley, for DD and her friends, she's very happy. They were 75 each for pretty high up, not great seats. Ideally she wanted standing but that wasn't available once I got through

@LadyGreySpillsTheTea I am holding an edinburgh premier inn room I don't need if you want to try and coordinate. .

"@LadyGreySpillsTheTea I am holding an edinburgh premier inn room I don't need if you want to try and coordinate."

Is it for the night of the 8th? That's the date of their concert. I'll have to ask DD but I suspect she'll be delighted. She knows people all over Europe, but not Edinburgh...

christmastreefarm · 10/07/2023 14:09

@LadyGreySpillsTheTea Friday and Saturday.

LadyGreySpillsTheTea · 10/07/2023 14:11

Oh what a pity, our tickets are for the Thursday, the very first concert. But thanks for offering!

LadyGreySpillsTheTea · 10/07/2023 14:25

Actually Christmas, I think I'm talking rubbish and was looking at the wrong calendar - the Friday and Saturday are the 7th and 8th aren't they, which would be perfect! Just as well I'm not buying these tickets.

Just sent you a desperate message!!

Housepanic · 10/07/2023 17:28

Is there anyone else who actually wants to go themselves rather than getting codes for daughters? 😂I LOVE her!!

stillherenow · 10/07/2023 17:54

I’ve been looking at the stadiums where I have codes for in Europe. Warsaw is said to have quite bad sound and the one in Milan is about to be demoralised (!) and in a v dodgy area. I’m focusing my efforts on Austria and Germany , luckily they come first . I might have to let Italy and Poland go as I can’t face travelling for a concert for it to be crap venue. Although once at Wembley I saw Destiny’s child and the sound was so bad I couldn’t even tell what song they were singing !

stillherenow · 10/07/2023 17:54

*demolished !!!

Harrythehappypig · 10/07/2023 18:11

DD1 has a ticket via a friend and we live about 25 minutes walk from the stadium so no issues with transport and sleep. Problem I have is if DD2 doesn’t get a ticket… and I would quite like to go as well but with my own friends and not DD2. However, she and her friends I think will need a chaperone, especially as they want to go on the pitch (and “scream” apparently 😖)

Coronado2 · 10/07/2023 18:58

I want to go myself, although with my daughters. I realised today that although I have a code for Paris, I can't create an account for ticketmaster france as uk isn't available as a country, so I don't think I'll be able to use it 😭

Coronado2 · 10/07/2023 19:00

Found it! Obviously united Kingdom is between Romania and Rwanda on theor otherwise alphabetical list. Where else would it be?

WeWereInParis · 10/07/2023 19:13

Am I right in thinking that for the tickets going on sale next week, the UK emails about a code haven't gone out yet? Or have I just not got one? Will everyone who registered get one, or is it random?

Coronado2 · 10/07/2023 19:16

I believe the UK emails haven't gone out yet, other than presale ones.

Everyone will get an email but not everyone will get the code to get tickets. Some will be waitlisted.

Are there any estimates of how many tickets were sold today (i.e. how much hope should we have...)?

Me!

skilikeagirl · 10/07/2023 23:46

From our experience today there is not masses in the presale. It sells out really fast. So there will be plenty left for the next presale

megletthesecond · 11/07/2023 06:59

Surely all the Midnight's people should be getting tickets? If those tickets sell out there shouldn't be anything left for anyone else.

HidingInAForest · 11/07/2023 07:00

Next presale? The next time those dates go for sale it's the general sale isn't it?

HidingInAForest · 11/07/2023 07:00

(To which we don't know if we have a code yet!)
