Taylor Swift pre register

Anyone else in the queue to pre register? I’ve been queuing over an hour and this isn’t even to get tickets! How much do you think they’ll cost?

I put myself in the pre-register q at 7pm (at the pleading of my DD) and at 8.10pm I was able to register. The pre-register is to try and make sure bots don't hoover up all the tickets (after there was a debacle with the US portion of the tour). With the US tour apparently the cheapest tickets were supposed to be around £40 and the most expensive around £450.

I’ve preregistered but I didn’t get a confirmation email even though at the beginning it says you should.

Now I’m worried I put my email in wrong 😅

Did anyone else not get a confirmation email?

Namechangedagain20 · 20/06/2023 20:29

Pre registered, after a 45 minute queue, and also no confirmation email yet. I’m assuming ticketmaster is swamped and they’ll take a while to come through.

Stressedoutforever · 20/06/2023 20:31

Took me 30 minutes when they were first announced, took my sister 50 minutes around 5pm- keeping everything crossed but not getting my hopes up!

Stressedoutforever · 20/06/2023 20:31

I also got my email pretty quickly

That’s reassuring!

That is not 😂

KarmaIsMyBF · 20/06/2023 20:33

It took me a couple of minutes when it was first announced, email came about 20mims later

WellTidy · 20/06/2023 20:33

I didn’t even get to the stage of putting my email address in. Ticketmaster decided that I was a bot and that was that. How rude.

bibbityboppityboo · 20/06/2023 20:34

My emails are coming through now and I registered three hours ago!

Madwife123 · 20/06/2023 20:35

After 2 hours in the queue it took my details and said I’m pre-registered but this doesn’t mean you will definitely get tickets. It says a selection of those pre- registered will get a code to book so fingers crossed but it may also be a long wait for nothing with seems pointless!

ApplesInTheSunshine · 20/06/2023 20:32

That is not 😂

I might be a moron as I remember an email but now can't find anything so maybe I didn't get one??! Or slowly losing it 😂
So don't listen to me haha

EsmeSusanOgg · 20/06/2023 20:42

It said I'm pre-registered. But I haven't had an email yet!

QuizzlyBears · 20/06/2023 20:42

Pre registering just means you’re guaranteed to be able to try for tickets if you’re selected, right? It doesn’t guarantee tickets. And if pre registering isn’t successful then we try on the day anyway and hope? This is madness!

If you aren't selected you can't even try on the day, you have to wait to see if you get selected later on 😭

Teder · 20/06/2023 20:48

My email took a couple of hours.
Ticketmaster have said up to 24 hours.

I hope I don’t have to remortgage my house just to make DD happy. 😱

Jayney2 · 20/06/2023 20:50

I've not had an email yet. Really hope I can get tickets when they go on sale!

thefemaleJoshLyman · 20/06/2023 20:51

No email here yet either. DD is so desperate for Taylor Swift tickets...eek.

Yes this is what I understood. Only SOME who pre-registered will be selected. They then get a code to TRY for tickets. No guarantee they will get them. If you are not selected you can try as normal and get some. It seems like a lot of hoops to jump through to still end up fighting the scalpers for tickets and what stops the scalpers from
pre-registering?

I don’t think they can ever stop scalpers but I suppose they are trying to minimise them, if possible. I don’t know how effective this actually will be though.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 20/06/2023 20:55

It took me about an hour and 10 minutes

nicky2512 · 20/06/2023 20:57

I tried to register on Ticketmaster.ie for Dublin and it said they couldn’t verify I was human!

JeremyBeadlesLobsterHands · 20/06/2023 21:12

I also didn’t get an email so panicking a bit now! It said you have to use the email address that has a ticketmaster account and I can’t remember which one has 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can’t imagine the £40 tickets will last long, I’m trying to make a budget and stuck to it!

It took me 90 mins. My 8yo is desperate to go, she’s learning guitar just so she can be like Taylor.

im a bit worried about ticket prices,

I assume though with 4 Wembley dates, if it’s 80k per gig, that’s 320,000 tickets just for Wembley alone.

rumours are she’ll be playing Glastonbury next year,,,there’s a clear space in her touring schedule

thebellagio · 20/06/2023 21:27

I haven’t received any email…
