Is it even possible to buy Taylor Swift Tickets

[sleepfortheweek]

I'm probably one of many millions after tickets for TS Eras Tour. Is there a secret to being able to hear if tickets become available? So many scams about, and I'm obviously not going to pay £900 a ticket through sites like viagogo.

Willing to travel. Would need 4 tickets.

What's the best way to be in with even a slight chance?? DD has cried so many tears over not seeing her, I at least want to tell her I've tried my best at getting tickets. Most of her friends went to the gig in Glasgow so now I've got terrible mum guilt

I'm so clueless

Sorry not to be able to help but wanted to wish you luck getting them!
There are some arses on this thread - just ignore them!

I quite like the idea of sitting outside on a fold up chair, do you bring a flask of tea/glowsticks etc? Don't get moved on?

I'd have to listen to her first though, no teenage DDs here to bombard me with her music!

I think that the response on social media to the concert has been unprecedented so a 10 yr old who likes TS (but who probably won't have had the wherewithal to know about buying an album for a code the best part of a year before the tickets went on sale) will be experiencing understandable FOMO. It is an amazing show and the atmosphere is brilliant.

You can still get tickets but they are very expensive on the whole. If you're prepared to pay anything then use authorised pre-sale sites only and be ready to pounce. This week on MN has seen multiple threads from parents desperate to get tickets and that will be replicated across the UK (and beyond).

But it is a long old day and unless your daughter is a massive fan she might get bored after 3,5 hours. The bracelet swapping is only before the concert and is part of it but not much of the day.

Good luck but keep your expectations reasonable.

@malachitegreen are you serious?

Are you serious? She's not stamping her feet and having a tantrum. She's not screaming the house down or getting angry. She's having a cry over something she is disappointed about, and I am definitely ok with that.

She's not an indulged child (trust me!) and is used to not getting everything she wants but her disappointment in this is real. And that's ok.

People in real life would still be thinking there was something seriously wrong if a child is crying because they cant go to a gig - well, after the age of about 3 they would, but less likely to say that to a friend's face

No they really wouldn't.

There were a few hundred people outside Murrayfield and you could hear it as loud as anything. I did think they were the winners given the cost of tickets tbh!

There are two Wembley FB pages which give advice on getting tivkets and some people are getting them. I’d say that was your best bet. They do take over your feed though be warned and people ask the same questions over and over !! It seems they release production tickets a day or so before each concert so that’s what you need to look for.

you can’t sit outside Wembley, you get moved on.

my Friends did this after dropping off their teens and had a great time. I’m considering doing it again at Wembley with the friendship bracelets and the glittery outfits, my DD loved it.

Thank you - I'll have a look

There’s also a live stream on you tube for each concert - hockeybro. I watched some of it when dd was there at the weekend and it did give me the feels despite the terrible filming!! (He taps into various people’s live streaming on tik tok). I think if it was me I’d do that and make it a party type thing at home! Me and dd are watching each night now for the surprise song slot (about 10pm) he has a count down to it.
you could even make it a summer ‘thing’, it’s slightly addictive

Daughter had a legitimate ticket from Stubhub the day before the concert, you just have to be prepared to wait until last minute

Fuck me there are some right wankers on here!!!

Good luck OP. But as someone who works in a venue, please ignore those saying Viagogo is okay. It’s not. A shit load of people get turned away from all kind of events. I know, I have to do it. Even if they come up at reasonable price, don’t to it.

Apologies for being mean , that FB page drove me mental , I was only on it for tips as it was DD’s first big gig! So glad to leave …

yes, I am serious, and its obvious that it is Ok with you. whatever. I seriously cannot imagine a 10 year old crying because they cant go to a gig. Really, most events 10 year olds want to go to, they wont be going to. That is normal. crying about it is not

Our tickets cost £78 each with booking fee. They’re now selling for £1200 each. I think people are mad to pay that.

To be fair, I cried because I slept through the northern lights! Disappointment isn’t wrong.

Seems a vicious circle of SM hype. Create tension and complicated ways to secure tickets, keep loads of social media posts coming and this is the tense but very profitable result.

Yet, my DS ( who granted does tend to fall on his feet) didn't even say that he was going to a TS concert. I saw a couple of photos and asked.

“Yeh, we went last night, my friends had bought their own tickets and a couple of extras…they said we could have them”.

I'm not sure he even recognised the hype and high demand.

You need the code from either buying the midnights album, buying the tortured poets album or pre registering, otherwise it's resale sites.

I'll be honest it was good, I went to Cardiff but not worth paying that much, sometimes we don't see what we want

And you opened this thread why??

You don't fit Sir Keir's definition of a working family!

Since when did only a specific definition of a 'working family' mean anything?! Especially when it comes to buying concert tickets.

Surely a working family is ANY family unit with working adults?

But I don't see how one person's definition of 'working family' is even relevant!

@NashvilleQueen and @SqueezedMiddleTummy it would be a good atmosphere, wouldn't it? And you could chat to people, eat when you want and have a little dance and not get squished. And be the first to the Tube.

You’re an idiot!! Of course it’s normal!! She’s 10 FFS. Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean everyone else does.

It's definitely okay for your child to be disappointed over missing out on something.
We all have those times, and yes - sometimes a little cry gets it out of your system.

No idea why there are some really inking posters on the thread. Seems unnecessarily unpleasant but I guess it makes them feel better about themselves somehow!

I think you're about a year too late! I tried back then and no joy apart from hospitality suite ones for £800 each - and my 15 year old understood I was NOT going to get myself into debt and pay this stupid prices!

The amount of people that think young children don’t deserve to have emotions is sickening. Clearly we need the old style adverts asking if you’ve hugged your child today, they’re real people just like you, back again.
