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!

@christmastreefarm thank you

I’ve tried adding a payment method in advance to axs but it won’t let me as won’t let me change the country from US to Uk even though it recognises me as being in London

Interested in this thread?

It looks like Edinburgh yesterday mainly had super expensive tickets left (£400 for an ordinary seat made into vip with the addition of a tote bag!). I’m going for Wembley today but assuming it’ll be the same - anyone else trying this week?

Fizbosshoes · 18/07/2023 10:48

Anyone else potentially unstuck with the Lead booker event? As in the card holder has to go to the event??
I bought tickets for DD and 2 friends using DDs code and ticketmaster account because a)she was at school and b) she can't afford 3 tickets.

Surely this must happen a lot parents buying for young people or students??

And seems particularly ridiculous when buying tickets more than a year in advance!!

Oh I hadn’t seen that. Yes that means dd has to put up with me there !

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 10:53

This is all the UK concerts isn’t it? I don’t mind as I secretly would like to go to the Wembley gig! 6 mins til Wembley tickets open and I’m doubting I’ll get them anyway …

I would like to go but I don't want to take a friend's place!! (Not to mention she'd prefer to go with friends)

Fizbosshoes · 18/07/2023 10:56

Yes all UK dates .... but I'm pretty sure nothing came up when I was actually booking...

Well what can you do…!!

it was all straightforward and I easily got good tickets . Absolutely bankrupt now .

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 11:51

If they change that rule I will give my seat to one of her friends though as we’re already seeing the tour in Europe and I hadn’t meant to go to Wembley !!

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 11:52

I’ve not had my notification of that rule so not sure if it’s just a Ticketmaster thing? Will have to investigate at some point

Jonsnowsghost · 18/07/2023 12:05

I managed to get tickets for Wembley however looking at the seat map it looks like my seats don't exist?! Slightly panicking...

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 12:10

@Jonsnowsghost what block did you get I can check on the seat map I have?

Jonsnowsghost · 18/07/2023 12:12

I've checked all the maps I can find but just in case, block 103 row 40

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 12:25

Yes those are great seats, close to where I have . Let me see if I can attach a pic

Piccalino3 · 18/07/2023 12:29

Argh, I've just been offered hospitality booking - but for £900 for 2 tickets. Do I really want to go for that much??!!

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 12:29

The only pics I have are on WhatsApp with messages all over them - but you’re basically super close to the stage - bottom rung green on the top of the pic as you look at it. There is a seatmap on Ticketmaster somewhere . Also look at the view from my west website to see your view

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 12:29

Sorry view from my seat

stillherenow · 18/07/2023 12:35

Actually I see what you mean but I also have ones that don’t exist so they must !!

If it's Liverpool mid tier I have booked that and mine are good seats. Opposite the diamond. Also free beer / wine!

Jonsnowsghost · 18/07/2023 12:41

Thanks @stillherenow the row isn't available on view my seat :(
As you can see it only goes 33, which is why I'm worried!

Yea I saw that but it does also say different events have different configurations so they must have just put more rows in behind ?

Piccalino3 · 18/07/2023 13:03

Argh, @christmastreefarm mine are 23rd June, Wembly, level 2 251, seems a bit far forward but this is probably my last chance! In my basket again with the time ticking down

@Piccalino3 I thought 23 June was only on sale tomorrow?!
