Another Taylor Swift ticket query - how to swap??

[London3WingPrayer]

Desperately hoping to swap x4 standing (front right + vip package - would pass on goodies if London based!) for x4 seated at Wembley on 15th August. I'd be hugely helpful for any advice on how to go about this. DH managed to get the tickets last summer but didn't clock the under 14 restriction for pitch standing and I'll be taking two 12 year olds... thank you!

Could you possibly find four for sale (on the official resale Ticketmaster / AXIS) and then sell yours on when you have replacements?

Thanks for replying. Looking for reseale, but rarer than hens' teeth! Would prefer to find some swiftes who'd love these front standing VIP with early access and would do a swap with their seated.

afaik there is not an official method which would facilitate a swap meaning there is an inherent risk in doing so. I don't know how you would swap and be 100% sure the tickets were legit and also still valid (there are rumours those sold on secondhand market will be invalidated) which is unfortunate. But I also agree with you that if you sell the ones you currently hold then your bargaining power is gone and likelihood of attending lowered, even if selling then repurchasing from TM or AXS is safer.

There are FB groups fans have set up for each of the nights/cities and if you join yours you might find people happy to swap - many fans had a preference for standing over seated (though it is a long show and while I was happy to stand for Rep it wasn't the case with Eras). You would probably want to engineer it in a way so that you met at the doors and went in together to reduce the risk. Bear in mind that your VIP tickets grant access to the stadium 1 hour earlier giving those ticket holder a chance of getting the best spot. If I was swapping from seated I would want to take full advantage of that.

I think there are similar swiftie reddit/discord groups designed to try and help as many 'true' fans go as possible, you might find luck there.

Who do you know in person who is going and trustworthy? Even if it's a swap for a different night it could be your best bet if your cousin, for example, is going with a group of adult friends? I would make sure you knew how they got their tickets, you don't want to swap with someone you trust only to find they had unknowingly fallen victim to a scam.

You might get people saying to just doll up the 12yo and have them pass for 14, and that might work, you could keep an eye on how that goes for the Wembley dates in June. But it's a huge risk, you can't prove they are 14 when they aren't and them being turned away at the gates would be devastating. And these rules are in place for their safety (plus 12yo are shorter than most adults so their view would be restricted).

Honestly, good luck, but be careful.

You might be in with a chance of doing this safely as you want to swap for the same night and live in London. You could meet someone in person to do the swap. Maybe you will have to accept worse tickets though.
I'd advertise on local Facebook groups and make it clear that you want to meet in person and do everything possible to ensure that the swap I done safely.

Thank you all. Yes, feels like swimming with sharks tbh. Not comfortable with the dolling up tbh. Annoyingly it looks like cardiff has 12+ for standing. Local Facebook posts may be best option and as I live in London would be happy to meet in person. Meanwhile, will keep checking for resales on official sites and hopefully I can make the deadline for selling my VIP tickets by 13th June.

Hi,
I have 2 VIP standing tickets for Taylor Swift on 14 June at Anfield but looking to swap them for 2 seated tickets on the same night if anyone is interested?

Did you get anywhere with this? I’ve got the same problem with 4 x standing tickets for sat 17th August but have a 10 & 12 year old so dolling them up ain’t gonna work.

if I was going as an adult I’d much prefer standing tickets so hoping someone will want to swap! 🤞

Hi, no, I'm afraid I didn't find anyone to swap with, but through blood, sweat and tears I found some resale seated.... there's a discord server - UK and Ireland Swifties - that pings you when ticketmaster or AXS have resales - but you have to be lightening quick. Never thought I'd find myself part of a Swiftie online group. They've been fabulous! Am hoping to pass the standing ones onto friends. Good luck!

That's good news.

@London3WingPrayer technophobe here desperately seeking tickets for August, could you give any more info on this discord server? Tried Google but I'm a bit confused!

Would they require proof of the kids age? Just curious because we've got standing tickets & are taking a 12 year old. She could however pass for older.
Surely you don't need ID to get into the standing section for your child?
And if you do need ID what ID do you bring for your child??

Slightly off topic but having been to quite a few concerts in Cardiff (we live in Gloucestershire), I wouldn't contemplate pitch standing full stop let alone with a 12 year old. It's honestly one of the worst venues for heavy drinking, so much so that we now only ever book seating and that can be just as hairy at times. We went to see Springsteen a few weeks ago and it was the worst I've ever seen there. It's all very well saying Swifties won't be like that but there will be a fair percentage of adults attending without kids.

I have 4 standing VIP tickets for 19th I want to swap for 15th! Please get in touch @London3WingPrayer

Hello!
I have 2 Taylor Swift tickets for the 15th of August that I am desperately wanting to swap for tickets on the 20th or 19th. There were visa issues and we unfortunately can't go on the 15th.

This thread is a scammers dream!

is anyone looking to swap tickets for Taylor Swift Eras tour? I’ve four seated tickets for Sat 17th Aug which would swap for 3 standing

can provide proof of tickets on request. One of our friends can no longer attend and seems a shame to waste
