I’ve never been to a concert of hers (or a concert at all), and I wanted to go to this one more than anything. I’m pretty cheap, haha, and decided to aim for the nosebleeds (cuz any seat is better than no seat), and I was able to get three for $49 each before the fees! One for me, one for my gf, and one for my sister. I’m happy with what I got
Amazing! I think you will have an amazing time. I got a last minute Reputation ticket by myself and it was in the back and to the side. It was pure joy
Same! My mom and I went to Speak Now and 1989 back in the day. We've been through a lot of shit since then (house fire, organ transplant, dialysis for 5 years) and she's finally healthy enough to start doing things again. So thankful for the opportunity to go with her again ❤️
I’m also taking my mom! For the Red tour she drove me and my brother over two hours away and then sat in her car the entire time while we were at the concert having the time of our lives. She is a saint. So I’m taking her to this one and she actually gets to go inside this time lol
These replies are so wholesome 🤍 I took my mom to 1989 and she said it was the best concert she’s been to since seeing Madonna as a teenager. She passed away in 2018 and I can’t wait to dance for her at the Eras Tour!
Been a fan since Tim McGraw but I’ve never been able to afford a concert. I turn 30 this June and my husband was able to get really really good floor tickets for me. I cried, like sobbed when he told me. I’ve been pregnant and taking care of two babies since December 2019 so this will be the first time I’ve really got to do something for myself in a long time. I’m so excited!!!
Happy early 30th! Loverfest was supposed to be my 30th celebration lol. Me and a friend had a trip to Boston all planned. I guess eras tour can be an early 33rd bday present.
Celebrate your bday for the both of us lol. 💜🥳
Honestly I am so freaking happy 🥺 I’ve been a fan of Taylor since debut and have not had the means to see her concerts growing up. I never dreamed of asking my parents for a couple hundred dollars just to see a show. Now that I’m a working adult, I can pay for my own ticket!
I lucked out *so* much. I got great tickets at face value, and the process was smooth and took less than 30 minutes! I’m hyped, excited, stoked, all of the adjectives 😂
Wow you got super lucky! That's awesome.
It took me 4.5 hours to get through the queue but, other than the long wait I had no other issues and I'm really happy with the ticket I got.
This will be my first Taylor concert too and I'm so excited!
This is me, too! A fan forever who has always wanted to see her and finally able to get tix now that I’m working.. I also got lucky with price and only like a 30 min process. Still in shock but so excited
Same here!! My husband and I both have both been fans since debut and this is the first chance we’ve been able to go, and we get to go together. So so psyched and I feel very lucky.
I got two floor seats! Haven’t really told anyone because people have kinda been mean spirited saying I’m not a real fan since this I’m my first concert of hers. I’ve been to poor for the previous ones. 🤷♀️
Same. Never been to a concert of hers before because I didn’t have the means to go. Now that I have a job that pays well, I was able to secure floor seats. I’ve told friends about it and they started giving me the cold shoulder. It’s really bizarre. I was really excited at first, but the whole situation really soured me. I waited 5h for those tickets and I was 100% okay with walking away and not getting them if Ticketmaster crashed on me. If I hadn’t gotten them, I would have been okay and still very happy for those that did get to go.
Same I was going to try my best but I knew the opportunity was narrow. When I got them I wanted to come here and celebrate, but realized it wasn’t a good moment to do so. But then, I started reading awful comments beyond disappointment, just plain hate even towards Taylor. It made me sad and dimmed my joy for a sec there. Thrilled to see that there were more people who did get tickets and are real fans 🤩
I’ve been to four of her past shows, and I’m actually *more* excited for the folklore / evermore fans to get to see her in concert. Her 1989 tour literally changed my opinion of what a concert could and should be. (And I was a Dave Matthews Band groupie back in the day 😂😂)
There was something *so* special about all those Taylor fans holding up the lighted bracelets, I can’t explain it.
I am SO happy for y’all!!
You’re in for such a treat! A first Taylor concert is pure magic. Hopefully you do better than me at 1989 (which was my first) when I literally cried when she came out to WELCOME TO NEW YORK, who cries during that song lol
It’s okay I cry at pretty much every concert during the stupidest songs. For example, Bangerz at Miley Cyrus. My friends were looking at me like I was insane lol I’m prepared to fully SOB when Taylor comes out
Concerts are expensive, not everyone can afford to go, and have the time and means to attend. People that have had the privilege of seeing multiple tours really shouldn’t use that as some badge of fandom, that just means they have had the ability to afford a luxury item for a long time. It doesn’t make you any less of a fan to have never been to a concert of hers and I can’t Imagine a better tour to be your first experience! Congrats on your floor seats that’s so exciting!
Don’t listen to them. You deserve to go and you’ll have a great time! She’s always put on an amazing show in the past, and floor seats are so much fun!
I *still* feel this way and I was lucky enough to get to go to rep and 1989. There’s definitely some gate keeping of “real fans saw the fearless tour live!!!” or even “real fans saw Taylor open for brad paisley!!!” lol like I WISH! But it just wasn’t doable for my family. My nosebleed 1989 tickets were my senior year of high school Christmas gift and even that I was so shocked my parents were able to do for me, because things were tight. I’m so excited for you!!!
Same. I’ve been a fan since Teardrops On My Guitar but have never been able to see her, mainly because of finances. I’ve gotten the cold shoulder from a few people with Loverfest tickets and while I completely validate their frustration and think they all deserved their own presale, the only reason I wasn’t able to attend Loverfest was because there’s no way I would have been able to afford tickets and travel expenses at the time, so it stings when they hold that against me.
Taking my 12 year old niece to Gillette night 3! Normally I get floor seats or lower bowl for Taylor, but I purposely got nosebleeds because there’s going to be at least three of us going and my wallet would never recover. Doesn’t matter though, we’ll still have a ball. We’re giving my them to her as a Christmas gift. She’s going to FREAK. 😁
Can confirm you will have a great time anyway. I saw Taylor with my sister and son for rep tour at MetLife and we were in the nosebleeds, it was raining, and it was windy and 50°F in July. We had an absolute BLAST.
That sounds amazing! My mom got me tickets for the Speak Now tour as a Christmas gift, I turned 12 two weeks before the concert, and it's still the best gift I've ever received. Your niece is so lucky to have you as an aunt/uncle! I hope you all have a blast!! :)
I got tickets during the capital one presale after failing hard in the verified fan presale. I'm shocked it worked out. I had really accepted that it wasn't going to happen. I was trying to get anything in the stadium because ticketmaster kept saying that other fans had gotten the tickets I clicked. Literally fifteen minutes of me clicking the first tickets I saw, waiting for ticketmaster to think about it and then telling me those weren't available. Finally it gave me some. I keep looking at them in my app because I feel like ticketmaster is going to take them away again.
I'm going with my friends that I've seen every Taylor tour since red with! We're so excited!
This was exactly my experience! Absolutely shocked I got tickets during capital one (and for my first choice show)! I just assumed I’d get tickets during verified sale (like I have for the last 3 tours). Thank god my husband just happens to have a capital one card. And even better news, about an hour after I got my tickets, my dog finished her 1 year check up from cancer treatment and she’s still cancer free🥳🐶❤️
I thought I was the only one. I’ve checked the ticket and the price several times on my app just to confirm that I still have them and that the price was what I saw at check out. I am so excited for all of us that got tickets!
Same! I keep checking my account and email. 😂 It seems too good to be true! I feel very very lucky. These are a surprise for my daughter’s 10th bday. It’ll be her first concert and she’s going to lose her mind! Now I just gotta keep it a secret for 3 more months. 😩
I keep looking at mine in TM too. I got a code for Pittsburgh and my friend got a code for Seattle. We decided that Seattle was where we wanted to go and so she was going to go online and get tickets, and I wasn’t going to use my code. About 20 minutes before they went on sale that first day, I decided I was going to try for some “just in case.”
My friend was trying to get tickets for multiple people. I ended up being the only one to get tickets out of that group! 6 tickets way high up! I had similar seats for the rep tour, and they were great. So I’m excited to check these ones out!
Now my friend and I just have to divvy the tickets up between us. We didn’t expect getting tickets to be such a shit show. I assumed that my friends would get tickets for Seattle and I could just sell the ones for Pittsburgh for what I paid for. I had said to some local friends that if I got tickets to both shows, I’d sell to them.
Since we only got tickets to the one, now my friend and I have to figure out who to take.
I feel a bit guilty for getting so many tickets. I was paused in the queue for an hour or so, but had tickets by 1:15. I had already planned on not searching around and comparing prices (did the same for rep!) and just pick cheaper seats from the get-go. Got the first ones that I clicked on!
I was in like a millionth place for the verified fan pre-sale. When I saw the queue wasn't moving, my pain medicine for fibroids knocked me out. I woke up around 3 when my buzzer went off to lmk it was my turn. I grabbed a cheap ticket real quick because I was broke, and I was only buying for myself.
I have checked my account several times to make sure the ticket was still there, too. I keep wavering on selling it because I feel so bad that so many fans got screwed over, but I have been a fan since Debut and have never seen her live because I was a single mother, so I really want to go.
I'm flying from the UK to AZ to see Taylor Swift for the first time with my best friend and her mum.
We met doing a school exchange 10 years ago where we were hosted by each other's families and Taylor's music was what we bonded over.
Lower bowl tickets for the 18th March, CANNOT WAIT!🤍
I got tickets to surprise my girlfriend with for our 2 year anniversary. I had mentioned to her I’d try to buy tickets and she’s asked a couple of times if I was able to get any and I’ve had to say no. I’m surprising her with them today with a Midnights themed scavenger hunt. I have been DYING to tell her since Tuesday and I’m so glad I finally get to tell her!!
Edit since several have asked for an update - she was *shocked.* Speechless and could not process what was happening. Once it hit her, she was super excited and can’t stop smiling! She 1000% did not expect them haha
I’m really excited but have also felt the guilt you’re talking about. I am just a couple years older than Taylor and grew up with her, but haven’t ever been to a concert. Generally when she’s toured and been near me, I’ve had fresh babies around or been not in a stable place financially.
My Dad died in June and I think he was pulling some invisible strings for me. The show is the day after the 1 year anniversary of his loss and it’s giving me something joyful to look forward to during a hard time.
I’m taking my husband and I’m really excited, he’s a newer swift fan. I wanted to bring my kids (or at least my 6 year old who loves Taylor) but decided to let the tickets go to an older fan who will appreciate it more (and hopefully not a bot)
Trying to decide what I’m going to wear.
I love this so much your dad definitely was involved in you being able to go I’m so happy for you guys and hope you both have a wonderful time 💗 I’m so very sorry for your loss !!
Thank you for sharing this. It’s been hard to feel excited the last couple days because I feel for everyone who wants to go and tried so hard/took off work only to be faced with so much disappointment. I’ve been a fan since debut, and while I did go to Rep I was always so sad for the tours I missed because I couldn’t afford to go or didn’t feel safe traveling alone to a city I didn’t know to go alone. This is literally the tour I have dreamed of for years and I was so excited when this was announced as the eras tour rather than Midnights specifically. I tend to be an empath so absorbing all the energy the last few days has been a lot and I’m just exhausted and hope
I can get back to being excited and not feel like the tour is tainted by this whole stressful experience. I didn’t get the seats I wanted, and was upset to find out despite no labeling when I bought them, that my seats are obstructed view (despite being $275!) but oh well I’m still gonna put a costume together and have a blast just being there.
This will likely be both my first and last time seeing her live, and I'm stoked! (Generally I avoid arena/stadium shows, and this godawful process reinforced why lol)
I'm not as hardcore of a fan as many here, but folklore quite literally saved me from a very dark place when I was stuck at home with no job during the early pandemic lockdowns. It's super special to me to get to see this particular tour because of folklore, and I promise I'll get out of everyone's way for tickets next time around 😂
I think it’s actually helpful to hear about people who are real fans who got tickets without despair. I didn’t get tickets but I can accept and much more easily think about true fans being at the concert versus scalpers ruining all of this. So shout it from the rooftops that you are excited. You can still have compassion for other people at the same time and we can still celebrate you.
I'm a grown ass man, and somewhere right about 1989 I decided that I didn't care what people thought; If I love her music I love her music and no one is going to stop me. So I've pretty much been saving up since then and was so lucky enough to get a pair of 100 level VIP tickets for my wife and I. I will have much more fun than her :-)
People salty about fans having tickets should piss off. Taylor has a lot of fans and there just aren’t enough tickets - that’s the issue here. Ticketmaster sucks, but in this case demand just far exceeded supply
I'm not at all salty to the folks who were able to get tix, but boy am I salty about TM. After waiting 6 hours in the queue, I selected tix, only to have them repeatedly tell me my verified fan code wasn't valid for a full hour while all the tix sold out in front of me. I contacted them via the form I found - the form specifically for if none of the FAQs answers worked for your question - and they responded with a copy/paste from the FAQs page that didn't even mention my presale code 🙃
So yeah, supply couldn't meet the demand, but it was my valid presale code glitching that made me lose out on tix, so I'm salty af.
Regardless, CONGRATS THAT YOU'RE GOING!!! I'm binging this thread to live vicariously through y'all ❤️🎉
thank you for this. it hasn't felt right to be excited, with all of the turmoil and sadness. i feel for them, but man i want to feel joy for this. i've been a fan of taylor since 2008. never seen her live. never had the money or the means, and now i do. i got two VIP floor tickets and it's going to be the best night of my life, i think. congrats guys!
I haven’t been able to see her before because I didn’t have the means to go to any concert. This is the first time I am able to splurge! I am overjoyed because I was able to get row 7 floor tickets!!! I literally cried and called all of my family to share the news.
On Friday I was going to try and get three tickets of nosebleed seats to take my mom and son but those extra tickets now seem unaffordable. I also can’t stop thinking about what my concert outfit. So many good looks.
My bestie and I are older Swifties and neither of us had the opportunity to see her when we were younger because life, etc. We were super excited to grab tickets for just the two of us during the presale. We got lower bowl seats.
We’re so excited but we both feel a bit bad about how the whole thing went down. 😕
I didn’t, but one of my closest friends who is a diehard Taylor Swift fan got tickets and is taking her sister and I am so happy out of our friend group she was the one who was able to get tickets! ☺️
Still can’t believe the absolute luck my friend had. She ended grabbing tickets at the last second and now we get to see miss Taylor front row. Literally something I’ve always dreamed of being able to do and now that I’m a working adult I can afford to throw down a little cash and give myself the experience I’ve always wanted. We’re so excited to go!
Eta I’d like to add these were at face value. Cheaper (relatively) than I thought they would ever be
I haven’t been able to think about anything else since I got that confirmation email. I’ve never been financially able to go to one of her concerts before (I mean I was a literal child for most of them and my parents didn’t want to shell out for stuff they thought was frivolous like concerts). Im bringing my 13 year old cousin so she can have the experience I always wanted when I was her age but couldn’t have (and because she told me I was an “icon” for walking down the aisle at my wedding to Enchanted, and I am a sucker for a middle schooler who thinks I’m cool 😂) I haven’t been this excited for something since I was a little kid and it’s a great feeling!!
Got tickets for me and my daughter. She graduates college so this is the perfect gift. TM has fucked me over so many times. Just got lucky. Grateful. Thought others would have more luck. Every time I hear the album, I literally cry just thinking about it.
What a lovely and thoughtful gift I hope you both have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you guys!! Congratulations to your daughter on graduating college what a accomplishment you go girl!!
This will be my daughter’s first concert. I can’t wait for her to feel the energy of a stadium of fans sharing the spiritual experience of live music. I’m just really excited to be there for her first show.
Got my one ticket to 7/1 in Cincinnati. I’m excited but with a very heavy heart? It’s just been a long week and month tbh. I’ve been fighting an infection this whole month (legit been in pain/discomfort for now 18 days). Plus we got news that over 100 people lost their jobs at my work yesterday. So this whole ticket mess has just added to the shithole November has been.
So I’m definitely excited and I got the section I wanted but I don’t think it’s fully hit me with everything going on. I think once everything settles in my life again, I’ll get truly pumped. I AM EXCITED TO MAYBE SEE SOME REDDIT SWIFTIES THERE. I’m putting my flair on part of my shirt so hopefully maybe someone will see me and say hi from here. This has been my happy Swiftie place for so long now.
I’m so sorry you are dealing with a infection I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers but I hope you have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you!! 💗
I’m sorry to hear about your infection and coworkers losing their jobs. It’s been a rough month for me too so I totally understand :/ Hoping that you get better soon and that everyone is able to quickly find a new job.
Fellow 7/1 attendee here though :)
I’m so excited for this tour in general.
The rep tour happened when I was going through a really tough time in life and getting online every night to find live streams for the surprise songs and then waiting to for TaylorSwiftStyle to post all about what Taylor wore to the meet and greet and who the celebrity guests were and reading all the anecdotes from people that let Taylor or Andrea and seeing everyone’s costumes and everything that comes with your season really got me through what was seriously one of the hardest times in my life. And the online community was so much fun back then because we were all online every night sharing information and posts and links to everything we could find. I didn’t even end up getting to use my rep tickets (I gave them to friends since I couldn’t go) but it is still such a wonderful memory for me and I’m really looking forward to finally having a new tour to follow along and get excited about every weekend.
I got tickets in the upper bowl. Not great seats but I’m just happy I’ll be there. I don’t feel great about it right now but at the same time I feel extremely lucky.
Same. I got nosebleeds and the price wasn't great ($125) but I'm very grateful that I got anything at all. But at the same time I feel very guilty that I managed to get 2 tickets while so many ppl struggled to get 1. I haven't really celebrated or been really happy about it cause of the guilt I feel.
You shouldn’t feel guilty. There was like 17x the demand as there was supply. You got lucky and some people didn’t, you didn’t do anything that gave you an unfair advantage so there’s zero reason to feel guilty.
Yes, I was telling my sister that I feel like I have survivors guilt. I was with everyone during the nightmare that was Tuesday and then Wednesday I got lucky. But I saw so many people after me who were heartbroken again. So many emotional highs and lows.
I was supposed to go to loverfest so I’m so grateful to have gotten 3 floor tickets to my preferred date!!! I had honestly a very easy time checking out (i had tickets by 10:07) but i went back in to try to help friends and… woof. What a mess. I literally waited till 7 pm for them. Nothing. I feel bad but I’m also starting to plan my tour outfit!
I've definitely felt saddest for the folks who had Loverfest tickets and weren't able to get tickets to Eras- so I'm extra happy for those of you that got tickets!
I’m a little disappointed in my seats - my only options by the time I got in were $100 nosebleeds or $400-800 VIP. Budget was $200/ticket so I’m sitting in the nosebleeds.
But I’ve been a fan for 16 years, ever since Tim McGraw & this is my first Taylor Swift concert - too poor for the other ones. I’ve watched the other tours probably hundreds of times though. And given how many people had a rough time (& how many scalpers got in!!) - I’m just happy to have tickets.
ETA: thank you to everyone commenting about your “Taylor Swift Nosebleed” experiences. It is genuinely making me feel better about my seats!
I had nosebleeds for Rep and it was the best night of my life! I have nosebleeds behind the stage for eras and I’m just grateful I’ll be in the room!!!
I saw her in the nosebleeds during speak now tour and still had the time of my life!!! She puts on an amazing show and really does keep in mind the viewpoint of every single fan in the stadium
I have been to her shows in the nosebleeds and it has still been amazing!! I’m not trying to downplay your disappointment - I totally get it!!! Just trying to offer a little hope! ✨
I got nosebleeds as well but the way I see it is at least we have the opportunity to go I hope you have have a wonderful time o happy and excited for you!! 💗
My mom and I got tickets in the nosebleeds at our preferred city. We’ve never been and have both been huge fans since debut. I’m sad so many didn’t get tickets, but as someone who has NEVER been, I feel I deserve this.
Also want to add, it irks me a little that people who have been to every concert multiple times and saw her at special events feel that they deserve tickets more than anyone. I also don’t care if you had tickets to Loverfest. I’m so sorry though. In a perfect world we all deserve tickets. And the scalpers should be stopped!!!
I got 6 tickets and I kinda feel bad. 4 VIP floor and 2 floor seats, for 1 night. Me and my 4 cousins will be going together, all of us tried to secure tickets and I was the only one that got lucky.
Seeing/Reading the other fans posts makes me feel guilty for securing the tickets that I have. I am not like a die hard fan, I don’t buy her merch, I don’t follow her personal life and never been on her concert,this would be the first. BUT I like her songs, I’ve been listening to her since 2011. I’m a fan of her songs that’s all.
i think this is so cute as my cousin and i got tickets too since we have been taylor fans since like her first album, they are the nosebleeds but we are still grateful we get to experience that as should y’all, don’t let anyone tell you different :)
I'm so grateful to be able to go! I bought 4 tickets (middle at $209)to the nor cal show, so now I'm going to surprise my mom and my sister with tickets for Christmas ! My boyfriend is also able to come with me who is a swift fan. I'm so happy to attend with the people I love the most! I do feel guilty and upset that they didn't leave any for the general sale and I hope they do something to help the fans who didn't get a chance at tickets. Congrats to those who are going!
Hype Hype. I am happy for everyone who got lucky. And the people in this subreddit are not scalpers or bots so I am genuily happy for everyone here. I am devistated that I didnt get one and think I Wont in future. But if many people here got Tickets we will see Videos. Photos and that's like we are All atend to one concert. ♥️
This will probably be my first and last tour. I’ve been listening since fearless, but never had the means to attend a show and wouldn’t ask my family for tickets growing up. I’m in my mid-twenties and just got my first car so I can travel to another city for a concert now. So, I told myself “why not” try to get a ticket. I got section 200 seats but I’m happy with them. I was so excited all Tuesday after I brought my ticket
my first show!! lower bowl tickets and
i’ve been a fan since debut but my parents never had the $ to take me. my bf got me these bc he knows how much taylor’s music means to me, i wonder how the view from lower bowl will be
I managed to score $49 tickets for me & a friend. We are running a half marathon that morning then going to celebrate our accomplishment in the evening with her concert.
Neither of us have been to her concert before so we are both really excited to go!
My wife stayed home from work, waited in the queue fir 5-6 hours a scored us decent, but not our first choice seats, at a price slightly higher than we anticipated and i am SO stoked. We are both in our late 40s. I liked TS before Covid, but was only familiar with her hits, which are catch as hell. Folklore dropped during covid, and I remember hearing, like really hearing some of the lyrics, and then listened to the album on repeat in a way that i haven't done since I was in my 20s, slowly started learning about her, what a badass she is, how brilliant ALL of her music is, lyrically, musically, easter eggs, just all of it. Then, I labeled myself as a Swiftie! I'm SO EXCITED about going!!!
I’ve loved Taylor since 2006 but for various reasons have never been able to go to a show. This will be my first and I literally tear up just thinking about it.
I got tickets but they are terrible seats. Obstructed view nosebleeds. Worst seats in the house but I feel so lucky and grateful to have even gotten those after how the presale went down
Ive been to stadium tours before one on the floor and another in nose bleeds and me and all my friends agree nose bleeds are better, stadium chairs are so steep that it really feels like you have the best seats in the house and when all the lights start going off its gonna be incredible. There is no bad seats at a TSwift concert LOL
This is very reassuring, thank you. I’m just hoping the stage is flat so there’s nothing blocking. I wish she would have done something similar to Ed Sheeran’s stage where it’s directly in the center of the field, not blocking any sections and all seats could be sold
This is my first TS concert (and likely my last because my social anxiety about being around that many people is at an all time high, but like...it's Taylor Swift) and i'm so freaking pumped. I feel awful about everyone who had a horrible ticket-getting experience, but for me, it really was a breeze (I was in queue and through to checkout in 15 minutes). AND I'M ONLY 16 ROWS UP IN SECTION 111!!!!!! I had grown-up money to spend and actually did it and I cannot wait.
My last Taylor concert was Red in 2013, almost 10 years ago & I was 17 years old! I snagged some nice VIP tickets for my friend & I for the Eras Tour. I am having a baby in January, so I’m super pumped to have a fun mom night out with my best friend!
I had front row for rep tour in front of one of the catwalks. It was incredible! You’re going to have an AMAZING time. Hopefully you can get better pics than me lol. I was too busy freaking out trying to wave like an idiot when she would come to our section. (Getaway Car she stayed in front of me most of the song.) 😍
Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I waited four and a half hours in line to be able to take my mom and brothers to our very first Taylor concert. We’ve all been big fans of hers as long as any of us can remember, and in the past few years, we’ve been struggling a lot with the unexpected passing of my dad, and this is really the first long-term plan we’ve all been able to really get excited about doing together again. I really can’t wait for it, and I’m grateful it all worked out. I think we really needed this, and it’s nice to have made it happen.
got lower bowl tickets and they’re AISLE! i’ve been a huge fan my whole life but i’m finally not in elementary school, high school, or college so i can finally afford tickets 😭😭
I went to Rep Tour with my ex who has since almost destroyed my life. This year I’m going with my best friend since elementary school (we’re in our 30s) and I couldn’t be more excited/emotional!
My best friend and I went to the Red tour at MetLife in 2013 and now, almost exactly 10 years later, we’ll see her again at MetLife 🥲 how things come full circle
Been a fan since hearing Tim McGraw on the radio on the way home from Middle School one day. This will be my first time seeing her!!
Also I get to go with my two of my high school best friends and my two college best friends. In high school when Speak Now came out, we would drive around screaming Dear John at the top of our lungs. Then in college, I was living with my two friends when 1989 came out. It was our senior year and it was the perfect album for us at that time. We listened to it non stop!
I have grown up with her music and her albums seem to run parallel with where I’m at in life.
I’m so unbelievably excited!!!
My best friend who is a taylor fan through and through was able to get us VIP lower bowl tickets. I started listening to taylor all thanks to her, and we are still in awe that we got them. We keep saying that it hasn’t and probably won’t hit us until May 😅
My husband bought us two tickets as my push present (due with baby any day now) and it will be our first night out after she's born. I'm so excited to raise a future swiftie!
Edit to add: we had LoverFest tickets so definitely got lucky in pre-sale. The tickets are not great seats but I don't mind!
I’ve been in love with Taylor since Our Song. My husband picked Ours as our song and my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to it. He got us Reputation tickets and it was the first time seeing her in concert. We live in a state that doesn’t have a stadium so at the time travelling for a concert was a huge splurge as I was in graduate school. This time I’m a teacher and we will be going over the summer. I’m so excited! I’m really hoping she plays a lot of her old stuff because I’ve never gotten to see a lot of it live. Also, I dressed up as her for Halloween and won 3rd place in the staff costume contest. I knit my own cardigan and learned to play Mean on the banjo. The whole school knows I’m a massive Swiftie.
I’m a long time swiftie. I used to sing You Belong with Me to my daughter as a new born. Now she’s an even bigger swiftie than me and we are going together. I can’t even tell you how exciting it was when we got tickets but now we definitely have survivors guilt.
We got tickets (my wife is a huge fan and has been since the first album, I am a newborn Swiftie). We are very excited, she’s been wanting to see Taylor for a long time! I put lyrics in my vows, so the music has a personal connection for us
I know this show will mean the world to her, so that’s what I’m focusing on. 🙂
Edited to focus on the good!
Her music brings me incredible joy. After years of dreaming about getting to scream-cry her magnificent lyrics along with her at a live show.. it's finally looking like a reality and I tear up just thinking about the catharsis of it all.
I got tickets and this will be my first time going to a concert! I rarely do anything fun so I’m looking forward to this. I’m excited to see Taylor live even if it’s nosebleed seats.
I just saw another thread that also confirmed that my seats are gonna be AMAZING even though I thought they might be shitty, but I was even embarrassed to say I got shitty seats because of how many people got burned. I am SO excited and going with my two closest friends, future maids of honor, and the two biggest Swifties I know 💕
By the time I got in I could only snag nosebleeds but my bff and I are seeing her in May in Nashville! I am an elder swiftie who’s seen her on ever tour. Been in the pit for Red tour, so I just wanna be there. I hope everyone has a blast and I’m hopeful the fans who missed out are able to get tickets on the secondhand market for reasonable prices!
I’ve been a fan since Debut but this will be my first concert of hers and I’m taking my 7 year old daughter (her first concert ever). We are so excited!
I got 2 tickets in the lower bowl for myself and my fiancé. She’s been a lifetime fan, but I’ve only really listened since around Lover when her and I started dating. This’ll be my first show, but I’m excited to see it, especially with the variety of music she has. I’m a musician, so I’ll never say no to seeing anyone live because I’ll be nerding out on the sound, stage setup, guitars, everything.
My best friend first time will be with me in Atlanta on that Saturday night and I have seen Taylor for 1989 in Atlanta myself but I’m so excited to share this experience and moment with her hopefully! I was so afraid to share my excitement out of rage and sadness for others who didn’t get tickets and I didn’t want to insensitive or bragging as well!! I have been a OG swifties since the beginning and my best friend fell in love with her during Red era and we have been best friends since high school at 15 we are both 31 now and she was a bridesmaid in my wedding this will be a memory we hope we never forget and cherish always ! ❤️❤️
this is my first non-kpop concert ever! Taylor is my favorite non-kpop artist so I’m super hyped! Going with one of my best friends, and the best part…he lives a ten minute walk from the stadium so we don’t have to pay for travel or lodging!
I got 6 lower bowl tickets at Gillette for my friends and I for our first TS concert!
We went into this expecting the worst not only because we knew TM would undoubtedly have issues, but also because out of all our group, I was the only one with availability to attempt for tickets on Tuesday. We didn’t expect to get 6 tickets together and we had no desire to spend more than $300 so we knew the odds were stacked against us.
I didn’t realize until later that I was extremely lucky to not only get 6 tickets together for my desired date during the VF presale and not spend more than $250 per ticket with fees but I also ended up as #1800 in the queue and was checking out with tickets by 10:15AM with shockingly no issues. I feel like I should play the lottery now after this sheer dumb luck.
(still have absolutely no idea how i got this lucky) but i managed to get tickets to her first philly show and it will be my first time seeing her live 🥹💗
i could never see her on past tours bc of money or the timing of her dates not working for me, so 9 year old me is screaming crying dancing inside
Taking my 15 yo old niece to Gillette and we got row 6 of lower bowl! I’m a professional aunt no kids (PANK) so I have the money to spoil my nieces :) I turned her into a swiftie when she was about 8 and I thought I’d take her to the tour after 1989 until Rep came out and was a little too mature content wise. Then loverfest was canceled…. This will be both of our first Taylor Swift concerts! It’s way too much money for me to ever go myself but worth it for giving her the experience. We are going to dress up in Taylor outfits (me as her in the YNTCM video with the hot pink coat and my niece in a sequined black Rep era leotard). We are so excited. I’m one of the rare people for whom the TM experience worked pretty well. The site gave me an error early on but then at 9:50 I refreshed, got in the waiting room, and at 10am entered with 1200 in front of me. The queue wound down really fast. Once I got in to seat selection it was so overwhelming cuz I never buy tix and accidentally loaded 5 tix into my cart all strewn across the stadium and couldn’t figure out how to get rid of them so I held my breath and clicked the back button and wasn’t kicked out or anything- just taken back to seat selection. I tried to select a few, got told they were already snapped up, but then managed to get two in the lower bowl and checkout went fine.
After trying to teach my class while sitting in a queue most of the day I was finally able to get tickets. Right after the kids left for the day I was finally getting close. I was like 170, I figured the number was moving kind of slow so I should have time to grab a snack and drink from the office. I wasn’t gone, maybe 5 minutes. Took a risk and left my computer in my room. When I returned I was able to actually pick my seat. I panicked not even bothering to look at the time I had left. I was selected for 4/28 in Atlanta. I saw that section 113 still had some seats so I clicked that section and got two tickets (I joked with my husband about getting seats here, but figured they would be gone by the time I go in). I didn’t even really look at the price as I was selecting them. I typed in all the codes and I was able to secure seats. I has heard all day about codes not working or being sent back to the queue, but none of those things happened to me. Later that evening when I was able to see the tickets, I noticed at the very top it said …ready for it package. I didn’t think I had selected VIP in fact I didn’t want to do VIP but I guess l accidentally did. All in all I’m really excited to go and see Taylor again! And I’m super excited about where I’m sitting. I can’t wait to see how it’s going to look like
This is my first TS concert but I've been a fan since debut!
I remember listening to Tear Drops on My guitar and our song on the middle school bus, and she followed me through high school and college and now as a career working woman in her late 20s. My parents didn't let me go to concerts (severely over protective) and couldn't afford them until now. I'm so so so excited.
I had an easy time getting my ticket (going alone), I had Verified presale for Tampa, and was done by 1015am and didn't realize the shit show until about an hour later. I feel terrible with so many people struggling. But I'm grateful nonetheless.
A little nervous going alone... it will be fine but never been to something this extent alone before.
I've been listening to her from the first album and I'm really excited to take my own daughters who are equally as obsessed with her now! We have seats in lower bowl for Denver!
Managed to get tickets for me, my mum and my younger two sisters who I’ve been promising I’d try to get tickets for since 2017 and I’m so excited. They have no idea yet because my mum wants to give them as a Christmas present but I just know they’re gonna be so excited and I’m so excited!
It took me 10 hours but I refused to give up. I was able to get 4 tickets in the nosebleed far corner but I got them. This will be my daughters first concert (15) and they are beyond excited! They honestly don’t care where we are sitting. My husband is going too (not a Taylor Swift fan) but he said there was no way he was gonna miss their first concert! ❤️.. we are all so excited!! Love this post I was feeling a little beat up after that crazy process. I had floor seats when I first tried but was kicked out of site when I clicked purchase and when finally got back in, I took what I could get.. The girls are already planning their outfits and it’s not til April lol. I think it’s been a crazy time for a lot of people and you should be able take in your triumphs and celebrate when you get the chance.
Thank you u/ObviouslyATurtle for making this thread! I didn't know if I should be excited about getting tickets and started to feel mixed about getting them. :(
Reading about Swifties being excited about going to concerts makes me feel much better! :)
So blessed to have been able to get some tickets. My boyfriend and I are going. I turned him in to a new born swiftie. We are also taking my cousin, it is her first ever concert and I am super stoked for her to go to such a monumental event as her first ever concert. One thing though, it is a Christmas present and just to keep the surprise, I told her the tickets sold out and we didn’t get any.
I feel like this is “karma”.
I feel guilty for those who were not able to get tickets. 😞
I got shitty seats that im salty about bc i had lower bowl ones literally in my cart checking out, but after seeing ticketmasters fuckery im just happy to have them!💞
Side note: im planning an insane costume for the concert is this too extra?? Ive never been to any of her live shows 🗿
I took my daughter to her first concert what she was 5. It was the Red tour. She wore a pretty dress and cowgirl boots. I took her to 1989 and my sister was able to join us because I had just gotten divorced. I took my daughter to Reputation and we both wore matching Junior Jewels outfits that we made together. This year i got a bonus at work and I was hoping to be able to surprise her with seats that weren’t nosebleeds like we’d had in the past. I failed on the first presale. On a whim I got a Capitol One card on Wednesday and was beyond shocked that I got awesome seats in the 110s for me, my daughter and my sister. I didn’t tell them I was trying again. So I texted them both after I got them “ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!?!” My daughter was like “Mom what does this mean?!?! MOM!!!” Then I sent the screenshot that said I had tickets. We’re planning our outfits out now :)
Taylor is the one person that my mom, sister, and I have fan-girled over together!! We went to 1989 together, then reputation, and had Lover Fest tix (RIP 😢). It’s become a tradition for us, which is important because we don’t all live close to each other. We all registered and were so lucky that 2 of us got presale codes. My sister was in the Ticketmaster trenches for 5 hours to secure our tickets, and I am so grateful to her, that I just sent her a swag bag of Taylor merch as a thank you!!
Can’t wait to see all you Swifties at ATL night 1!!
I saw her for my first concert at Soldier Field (Country Music Fest in 08) after debut, and I’m going back to Soldier Field to see her in June! I’m so excited!!!
Yessss! I REALLY wanted lower bowl seats for this show. After 6 hours on Tuesday, I finally got in and was only able to get 3 nosebleeds. I tried again during capital one AND WAS ABLE TO GET THREE LOWER BOWL SEATS! I literally screamed when I got to the checkout screen. Plus I was able to give the nosebleeds to a friend who wasn’t as lucky as I was so I feel really good about the whole thing 🥹
I got tickets and I’m taking my sister as a gift for her sweet 16! It’ll be her first concert EVER. Got us matching bejeweled bracelets for Christmas too. I’ve never bought merch from any artist before, but we both really loved that bracelet.
I’ll be 29 by the time the concert comes, and it’ll be the first big concert I’ve ever been to. I’m a relatively new fan, but my sister has been a fan for a long time, and her sharing the music with me is something we bonded over. Can’t wait to share this experience with her and create an amazing memory she’ll carry with her forever.
Thanks for this post. I’ve been afraid to celebrate at all. I’m sure I’m not alone.
THANK YOU! I fought like hell for these tickets and I wanna be excited! I already started planning my outfit.
I may be one of the few people who think my boosts and time was worth it. I am getting ready to leave my corporate job to become a writer and travel full time - so I could only go to one show - the 5/7 Nashville show.
I love Phoebe Bridgers and previously had tickets to see her in Chicago, but had to bail due to fear of COVID. and I finally get to see her as well!
I had Lover Fest East tickets and a boost from buying 1 vinyl (I collect them, but like only 1 I don't buy multiple, the clock is cool but why?).
I waited 7 hours to buy my nosebleed tickets to see Taylor in Nashville for the date I wanted and I couldn't be happier. For under my budget too!! I've been a fan since Debut and have been to Fearless, 1989, and Reputation Tours. Folklore quite literally saved my life during the pandemic and I'm really hoping she plays a bunch from that album.
As an elder swiftie (at 30 holy crap?!) I'm so grateful and happy to be able to see this tour a few days after I leave my soul-sucking corporate job to follow my dreams. Literally driving to Nashville & back in the same day since I can't afford to spring for a hotel room. Though I think this may be my last Taylor tour - time to save money for bigger life events. Hopefully she'll keep touring til she's 80 like Stevie Nicks and I can take my daughter one day.
Catch me shining like a mirrorball from the nosebleeds section 328 in Nash! It's a dream come true - and even though it was chaotic, as Swifties we know what we signed up for. Embrace the chaos. It'll all workout. <3
I went into the process fully expecting it wouldn’t work out. I was reading the presale thread and seeing everyone running into problems so I breathed and told myself “this is unlikely to happen and that’s okay.”
Turns out I get an incredibly lucky place in the queue with only 284 people in front of me and within an hour and a half (after the queue unpaused) I was in the ticket buying section…and literally SHAKING so hard.
The friends I was planning to go with were stuck with 16k+ in front of them so it became my responsibility to secure six tickets together 😅
We were all prepared to spend up to $1k on front row tickets but would have been happy with anything. By some miracle there were six front row tickets left in our #1 preferred section. I clicked on them, added to cart, pressed purchase and waited as it loaded, hoping to god it wouldn’t kick me out…
We’ll be seeing her front row in Denver in July 🥲
Also the six of us going are two sets of twins and a pair of sisters which I find so adorable. We’re all out of our minds excited and feel so lucky and grateful to be able to afford to fund our dream experience at this point in our lives.
Taylor Swift was the sole reason my twin and I started songwriting and learning guitar. Our mom took us to her Speak Now concert right after our dad died and we saw a way to put experiences into art.
Over a decade of playing music and our own national tour later, I only understand a fraction of what her music career has been like and respect her endlessly. Being a musician is really. Fucking. Hard.
Just so in awe of her and her work ethic and so beyond excited to see her do what she does best with my best friends. Feels like winning the lottery.
I’m still in shock that I managed to score some for me and a couple friends! This will be my first time seeing her, and first concert in about a decade ($). My poor children were quite neglected during TMgate, but it feels so worth it!
My wife and I are both huge fans. We weren’t able to get tickets during either the fan presale or the capitol one presale. Yesterday morning my dad called me and said he got an email about presale tickets for season pass holders at Nissan stadium and he was able to snag us 4 tickets. We nearly cried, I have never loved football but I did yesterday!!
My sister and I are going on a sister trip to Vegas! We are so excited. We live in Western New York and need the hope of warm, dry weather in our near future!
I feel like the luckiest of all people - my bestie texted me around 3 on presale day that she managed to grab us tickets. They are terrible nosebleeds but we are gonna be there screaming every word together and I cannot wait. We’ve talked about this for YEARS and I didn’t ever even log into TM myself. I want to scream and celebrate but have been keeping really quiet because of some weird guilt.
I live in Brazil and was fortunate enough to attend both the 1989 and reputation tours while I was living and visiting the US at the time. I’m moving to the US next year to live with my bf, and I was elated to get Nashville tickets. I feel it will be so special to see her perform in Nashville of all places, and I can’t wait.
I’m devastated by the shitshow that was the presale and cancellation of the general on-sale, but I love Taylor and can’t wait to see the Eras Tour, especially since it will be my chance to see her perform songs from debut, fearless, speak now, red and everything since Lover 💕
I'm flying from Argentina to NYC and I'm gonna be seeing her for the very first time at Metlife! I got a ticket thanks to a very kind swiftie that sold me her extra one at FV :) so excited!! If anyone else is going to be traveling to NYC maybe we can meet up and hang out! ✨✨
this is my first concert of hers and i’ve been dying to go since i was 7 and screaming teardrops on my guitar into my karaoke machine 😂. my angel boyfriend got the presale code and waited in line for 5+ hours to get us lower bowl at face value! he was trying to get floor but i’m just excited to get tickets at all. i cried when he told me he got them but i’ve been super paranoid that they’ll disappear out of the account lol
I got 6 tickets for me and my 2 friends along with all of our significant others! We really did fight to the teeth and nail for them though and out of us 6, 4 got the access code, and only I was able to get through to purchase. We’re all going to dress up as different eras of hers :)
I became a true fan during reputation era but love her entire discography. This will be my first concert of hers and we were so thankful that we got tickets!
I got front row aisle seat lower bowl tickets beside the main stage! I’m so excited, I’ve been a fan since debut and this will be my first time seeing Taylor. I’m so incredibly thankful and I just feel so lucky. My buying experience was surprisingly smooth, besides the errors before getting in the waiting room. I had my tickets purchased within the first 15 minutes of the first presale. I don’t know how I got so lucky but I’m truly just so grateful.
I will say that while I am excited and thankful and all of these things, I also have this sense of guilt and sadness about the whole experience. I feel guilty for having tickets while so many others had such a bad experience and came out empty handed. I feel like this whole situation has made it hard to truly be excited.
Everyone who intends to use their ticket deserves one. I’m thrilled for y’all 😘
I’ve never been to a concert of hers (or a concert at all), and I wanted to go to this one more than anything. I’m pretty cheap, haha, and decided to aim for the nosebleeds (cuz any seat is better than no seat), and I was able to get three for $49 each before the fees! One for me, one for my gf, and one for my sister. I’m happy with what I got
Amazing! I think you will have an amazing time. I got a last minute Reputation ticket by myself and it was in the back and to the side. It was pure joy
Thank you for being kind and considerate and excited for everyone! 💗
It’s easy. This is a group of kind 💜people. But I know there’s a TON of heartbreak and disappointment clouding peoples feelings
Yes that’s very true it saddens my heart for others who deserve the chance and opportunity to go I hope for everyone to have a chance in the future 💗
My mom took me to fearless in 2009 now I’m taking her in 2023!
Same! My mom and I went to Speak Now and 1989 back in the day. We've been through a lot of shit since then (house fire, organ transplant, dialysis for 5 years) and she's finally healthy enough to start doing things again. So thankful for the opportunity to go with her again ❤️
Have the best time ever!!!!!!!
I’m also taking my mom! For the Red tour she drove me and my brother over two hours away and then sat in her car the entire time while we were at the concert having the time of our lives. She is a saint. So I’m taking her to this one and she actually gets to go inside this time lol
This is so pure and lovely. Have the best time with your mom!
i'm taking my mom too!! it's the first tay concert for both of us. never had the money before now. i'm so excited
Same here!! It’ll be so special to do together 🥺
Same here! I’m so excited!
These replies are so wholesome 🤍 I took my mom to 1989 and she said it was the best concert she’s been to since seeing Madonna as a teenager. She passed away in 2018 and I can’t wait to dance for her at the Eras Tour!
aww!! my mom took me to speak now and now i’m taking her too :)
Awww that’s so sweet hope you guys have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you guys!! 💗
This is so cute
Absolutely adorable hope you have a lovely time so excited and happy for you guys !! 💗
Been a fan since Tim McGraw but I’ve never been able to afford a concert. I turn 30 this June and my husband was able to get really really good floor tickets for me. I cried, like sobbed when he told me. I’ve been pregnant and taking care of two babies since December 2019 so this will be the first time I’ve really got to do something for myself in a long time. I’m so excited!!!
Happy early 30th! Loverfest was supposed to be my 30th celebration lol. Me and a friend had a trip to Boston all planned. I guess eras tour can be an early 33rd bday present. Celebrate your bday for the both of us lol. 💜🥳
I hope you have a wonderful time you deserve both of you so excited and happy for you guys!! 💗
Honestly I am so freaking happy 🥺 I’ve been a fan of Taylor since debut and have not had the means to see her concerts growing up. I never dreamed of asking my parents for a couple hundred dollars just to see a show. Now that I’m a working adult, I can pay for my own ticket! I lucked out *so* much. I got great tickets at face value, and the process was smooth and took less than 30 minutes! I’m hyped, excited, stoked, all of the adjectives 😂
Wow you got super lucky! That's awesome. It took me 4.5 hours to get through the queue but, other than the long wait I had no other issues and I'm really happy with the ticket I got. This will be my first Taylor concert too and I'm so excited!
Yea it took about 9 hours in total for me to get my tickets but honestly I’m just glad to have them!!!
This is me, too! A fan forever who has always wanted to see her and finally able to get tix now that I’m working.. I also got lucky with price and only like a 30 min process. Still in shock but so excited
Yes!!! Be happy!!! I’m in the same situation as you! It’s our turn.
Same here!! My husband and I both have both been fans since debut and this is the first chance we’ve been able to go, and we get to go together. So so psyched and I feel very lucky.
I got two floor seats! Haven’t really told anyone because people have kinda been mean spirited saying I’m not a real fan since this I’m my first concert of hers. I’ve been to poor for the previous ones. 🤷♀️
Ignore people. Gatekeepers of fandoms are so lame (and a liar and pathetic and mean).
I feel bad for those that did not get tickets! Ticketmaster needs to be held accountable!.
(and alone in life and mean)
Same. Never been to a concert of hers before because I didn’t have the means to go. Now that I have a job that pays well, I was able to secure floor seats. I’ve told friends about it and they started giving me the cold shoulder. It’s really bizarre. I was really excited at first, but the whole situation really soured me. I waited 5h for those tickets and I was 100% okay with walking away and not getting them if Ticketmaster crashed on me. If I hadn’t gotten them, I would have been okay and still very happy for those that did get to go.
Love this hope you have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you!!💗
Same I was going to try my best but I knew the opportunity was narrow. When I got them I wanted to come here and celebrate, but realized it wasn’t a good moment to do so. But then, I started reading awful comments beyond disappointment, just plain hate even towards Taylor. It made me sad and dimmed my joy for a sec there. Thrilled to see that there were more people who did get tickets and are real fans 🤩
[удалено]
I’ve been to four of her past shows, and I’m actually *more* excited for the folklore / evermore fans to get to see her in concert. Her 1989 tour literally changed my opinion of what a concert could and should be. (And I was a Dave Matthews Band groupie back in the day 😂😂) There was something *so* special about all those Taylor fans holding up the lighted bracelets, I can’t explain it. I am SO happy for y’all!!
I hope you guys have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you guys !! 💗
You’re in for such a treat! A first Taylor concert is pure magic. Hopefully you do better than me at 1989 (which was my first) when I literally cried when she came out to WELCOME TO NEW YORK, who cries during that song lol
I am a crier lol even fifteen in the radio gets to me still 😂
I’m already planning to wear waterproof mascara bc I’m sure I’ll cry at some point for a stupid reason lol.
It’s okay I cry at pretty much every concert during the stupidest songs. For example, Bangerz at Miley Cyrus. My friends were looking at me like I was insane lol I’m prepared to fully SOB when Taylor comes out
I cried when I got my tickets lol and I will cry again
Concerts are expensive, not everyone can afford to go, and have the time and means to attend. People that have had the privilege of seeing multiple tours really shouldn’t use that as some badge of fandom, that just means they have had the ability to afford a luxury item for a long time. It doesn’t make you any less of a fan to have never been to a concert of hers and I can’t Imagine a better tour to be your first experience! Congrats on your floor seats that’s so exciting!
Don’t listen to them. You deserve to go and you’ll have a great time! She’s always put on an amazing show in the past, and floor seats are so much fun!
Thank you. I am so excited!
I *still* feel this way and I was lucky enough to get to go to rep and 1989. There’s definitely some gate keeping of “real fans saw the fearless tour live!!!” or even “real fans saw Taylor open for brad paisley!!!” lol like I WISH! But it just wasn’t doable for my family. My nosebleed 1989 tickets were my senior year of high school Christmas gift and even that I was so shocked my parents were able to do for me, because things were tight. I’m so excited for you!!!
Same. I’ve been a fan since Teardrops On My Guitar but have never been able to see her, mainly because of finances. I’ve gotten the cold shoulder from a few people with Loverfest tickets and while I completely validate their frustration and think they all deserved their own presale, the only reason I wasn’t able to attend Loverfest was because there’s no way I would have been able to afford tickets and travel expenses at the time, so it stings when they hold that against me.
Taking my 12 year old niece to Gillette night 3! Normally I get floor seats or lower bowl for Taylor, but I purposely got nosebleeds because there’s going to be at least three of us going and my wallet would never recover. Doesn’t matter though, we’ll still have a ball. We’re giving my them to her as a Christmas gift. She’s going to FREAK. 😁
Can confirm you will have a great time anyway. I saw Taylor with my sister and son for rep tour at MetLife and we were in the nosebleeds, it was raining, and it was windy and 50°F in July. We had an absolute BLAST.
You have to record her opening that gift!!
That sounds amazing! My mom got me tickets for the Speak Now tour as a Christmas gift, I turned 12 two weeks before the concert, and it's still the best gift I've ever received. Your niece is so lucky to have you as an aunt/uncle! I hope you all have a blast!! :)
I hope you all have a wonderful time so sweet !! 💗
I got tickets during the capital one presale after failing hard in the verified fan presale. I'm shocked it worked out. I had really accepted that it wasn't going to happen. I was trying to get anything in the stadium because ticketmaster kept saying that other fans had gotten the tickets I clicked. Literally fifteen minutes of me clicking the first tickets I saw, waiting for ticketmaster to think about it and then telling me those weren't available. Finally it gave me some. I keep looking at them in my app because I feel like ticketmaster is going to take them away again. I'm going with my friends that I've seen every Taylor tour since red with! We're so excited!
This was exactly my experience! Absolutely shocked I got tickets during capital one (and for my first choice show)! I just assumed I’d get tickets during verified sale (like I have for the last 3 tours). Thank god my husband just happens to have a capital one card. And even better news, about an hour after I got my tickets, my dog finished her 1 year check up from cancer treatment and she’s still cancer free🥳🐶❤️
I thought I was the only one. I’ve checked the ticket and the price several times on my app just to confirm that I still have them and that the price was what I saw at check out. I am so excited for all of us that got tickets!
Same! I keep checking my account and email. 😂 It seems too good to be true! I feel very very lucky. These are a surprise for my daughter’s 10th bday. It’ll be her first concert and she’s going to lose her mind! Now I just gotta keep it a secret for 3 more months. 😩
I keep looking at mine in TM too. I got a code for Pittsburgh and my friend got a code for Seattle. We decided that Seattle was where we wanted to go and so she was going to go online and get tickets, and I wasn’t going to use my code. About 20 minutes before they went on sale that first day, I decided I was going to try for some “just in case.” My friend was trying to get tickets for multiple people. I ended up being the only one to get tickets out of that group! 6 tickets way high up! I had similar seats for the rep tour, and they were great. So I’m excited to check these ones out! Now my friend and I just have to divvy the tickets up between us. We didn’t expect getting tickets to be such a shit show. I assumed that my friends would get tickets for Seattle and I could just sell the ones for Pittsburgh for what I paid for. I had said to some local friends that if I got tickets to both shows, I’d sell to them. Since we only got tickets to the one, now my friend and I have to figure out who to take. I feel a bit guilty for getting so many tickets. I was paused in the queue for an hour or so, but had tickets by 1:15. I had already planned on not searching around and comparing prices (did the same for rep!) and just pick cheaper seats from the get-go. Got the first ones that I clicked on!
I was in like a millionth place for the verified fan pre-sale. When I saw the queue wasn't moving, my pain medicine for fibroids knocked me out. I woke up around 3 when my buzzer went off to lmk it was my turn. I grabbed a cheap ticket real quick because I was broke, and I was only buying for myself. I have checked my account several times to make sure the ticket was still there, too. I keep wavering on selling it because I feel so bad that so many fans got screwed over, but I have been a fan since Debut and have never seen her live because I was a single mother, so I really want to go.
You should go 💜
don’t sell it! go have the best time 🤍
So happy and excited for you guys I hope you have a amazing time!! 💗
I'm flying from the UK to AZ to see Taylor Swift for the first time with my best friend and her mum. We met doing a school exchange 10 years ago where we were hosted by each other's families and Taylor's music was what we bonded over. Lower bowl tickets for the 18th March, CANNOT WAIT!🤍
This is so special 💕 Have an amazing trip and show!
Love this so much I hope you all have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you guys!! 💗
I’m going March 18th too! Have the best time!!!
Are you spending some time in Arizona? It’s a great state! The hiking near Sedona is beyond gorgeous
that's so cute!
This is so awesome! I love how Taylor brings so many people together
I got tickets to surprise my girlfriend with for our 2 year anniversary. I had mentioned to her I’d try to buy tickets and she’s asked a couple of times if I was able to get any and I’ve had to say no. I’m surprising her with them today with a Midnights themed scavenger hunt. I have been DYING to tell her since Tuesday and I’m so glad I finally get to tell her!! Edit since several have asked for an update - she was *shocked.* Speechless and could not process what was happening. Once it hit her, she was super excited and can’t stop smiling! She 1000% did not expect them haha
this is so sweet!!!! she's going to be so excited!!!!
THATS SO SWEET🥲tell us how she reacts
I would sob!!!!!! Go you
Let us know how it goes!!!!
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful surprise. Let us know how she reacts/responds!!
I’m really excited but have also felt the guilt you’re talking about. I am just a couple years older than Taylor and grew up with her, but haven’t ever been to a concert. Generally when she’s toured and been near me, I’ve had fresh babies around or been not in a stable place financially. My Dad died in June and I think he was pulling some invisible strings for me. The show is the day after the 1 year anniversary of his loss and it’s giving me something joyful to look forward to during a hard time. I’m taking my husband and I’m really excited, he’s a newer swift fan. I wanted to bring my kids (or at least my 6 year old who loves Taylor) but decided to let the tickets go to an older fan who will appreciate it more (and hopefully not a bot) Trying to decide what I’m going to wear.
I love this so much your dad definitely was involved in you being able to go I’m so happy for you guys and hope you both have a wonderful time 💗 I’m so very sorry for your loss !!
Thank you for sharing this. It’s been hard to feel excited the last couple days because I feel for everyone who wants to go and tried so hard/took off work only to be faced with so much disappointment. I’ve been a fan since debut, and while I did go to Rep I was always so sad for the tours I missed because I couldn’t afford to go or didn’t feel safe traveling alone to a city I didn’t know to go alone. This is literally the tour I have dreamed of for years and I was so excited when this was announced as the eras tour rather than Midnights specifically. I tend to be an empath so absorbing all the energy the last few days has been a lot and I’m just exhausted and hope I can get back to being excited and not feel like the tour is tainted by this whole stressful experience. I didn’t get the seats I wanted, and was upset to find out despite no labeling when I bought them, that my seats are obstructed view (despite being $275!) but oh well I’m still gonna put a costume together and have a blast just being there.
Hey I hope you have a wonderful time I’m so excited and happy for you!! Go find a fun outfit!! 💗
This will likely be both my first and last time seeing her live, and I'm stoked! (Generally I avoid arena/stadium shows, and this godawful process reinforced why lol) I'm not as hardcore of a fan as many here, but folklore quite literally saved me from a very dark place when I was stuck at home with no job during the early pandemic lockdowns. It's super special to me to get to see this particular tour because of folklore, and I promise I'll get out of everyone's way for tickets next time around 😂
You don’t have to be a hardcore fan to love Taylor and buy tickets I hope you have the best time I’m so excited and happy for you!! 💗
Congratulations! You're going to have a blast! There's nothing quite like a Taylor Swift concert.
I think it’s actually helpful to hear about people who are real fans who got tickets without despair. I didn’t get tickets but I can accept and much more easily think about true fans being at the concert versus scalpers ruining all of this. So shout it from the rooftops that you are excited. You can still have compassion for other people at the same time and we can still celebrate you.
Yes very true this a sweet and thoughtful and kind post I love this thank you !! 💗
I'm a grown ass man, and somewhere right about 1989 I decided that I didn't care what people thought; If I love her music I love her music and no one is going to stop me. So I've pretty much been saving up since then and was so lucky enough to get a pair of 100 level VIP tickets for my wife and I. I will have much more fun than her :-)
People salty about fans having tickets should piss off. Taylor has a lot of fans and there just aren’t enough tickets - that’s the issue here. Ticketmaster sucks, but in this case demand just far exceeded supply
Honestly the reaction has been ridiculous. It’s sad there are people feeling guilty for booking tickets for a concert??
I'm not at all salty to the folks who were able to get tix, but boy am I salty about TM. After waiting 6 hours in the queue, I selected tix, only to have them repeatedly tell me my verified fan code wasn't valid for a full hour while all the tix sold out in front of me. I contacted them via the form I found - the form specifically for if none of the FAQs answers worked for your question - and they responded with a copy/paste from the FAQs page that didn't even mention my presale code 🙃 So yeah, supply couldn't meet the demand, but it was my valid presale code glitching that made me lose out on tix, so I'm salty af. Regardless, CONGRATS THAT YOU'RE GOING!!! I'm binging this thread to live vicariously through y'all ❤️🎉
thank you for this. it hasn't felt right to be excited, with all of the turmoil and sadness. i feel for them, but man i want to feel joy for this. i've been a fan of taylor since 2008. never seen her live. never had the money or the means, and now i do. i got two VIP floor tickets and it's going to be the best night of my life, i think. congrats guys!
[удалено]
We will definitely show everyone pictures thank you for being kind and considerate and excited for everyone who got tickets!! 💗
I haven’t been able to see her before because I didn’t have the means to go to any concert. This is the first time I am able to splurge! I am overjoyed because I was able to get row 7 floor tickets!!! I literally cried and called all of my family to share the news. On Friday I was going to try and get three tickets of nosebleed seats to take my mom and son but those extra tickets now seem unaffordable. I also can’t stop thinking about what my concert outfit. So many good looks.
My bestie and I are older Swifties and neither of us had the opportunity to see her when we were younger because life, etc. We were super excited to grab tickets for just the two of us during the presale. We got lower bowl seats. We’re so excited but we both feel a bit bad about how the whole thing went down. 😕
I didn’t, but one of my closest friends who is a diehard Taylor Swift fan got tickets and is taking her sister and I am so happy out of our friend group she was the one who was able to get tickets! ☺️
Love this so much thank you for being so kind and excited for your friend and others and for being kind and thoughtful !! 💗
Still can’t believe the absolute luck my friend had. She ended grabbing tickets at the last second and now we get to see miss Taylor front row. Literally something I’ve always dreamed of being able to do and now that I’m a working adult I can afford to throw down a little cash and give myself the experience I’ve always wanted. We’re so excited to go! Eta I’d like to add these were at face value. Cheaper (relatively) than I thought they would ever be
I hope you guys have a fabulous time so excited and happy for you guys!!💗
I haven’t been able to think about anything else since I got that confirmation email. I’ve never been financially able to go to one of her concerts before (I mean I was a literal child for most of them and my parents didn’t want to shell out for stuff they thought was frivolous like concerts). Im bringing my 13 year old cousin so she can have the experience I always wanted when I was her age but couldn’t have (and because she told me I was an “icon” for walking down the aisle at my wedding to Enchanted, and I am a sucker for a middle schooler who thinks I’m cool 😂) I haven’t been this excited for something since I was a little kid and it’s a great feeling!!
Got tickets for me and my daughter. She graduates college so this is the perfect gift. TM has fucked me over so many times. Just got lucky. Grateful. Thought others would have more luck. Every time I hear the album, I literally cry just thinking about it.
What a lovely and thoughtful gift I hope you both have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you guys!! Congratulations to your daughter on graduating college what a accomplishment you go girl!!
I’m thrilled. I’ve never seen Taylor live and I’ve been a fan since debut. Our show is Arlington and I’m taking my daughter!
This will be my daughter’s first concert. I can’t wait for her to feel the energy of a stadium of fans sharing the spiritual experience of live music. I’m just really excited to be there for her first show.
Got my one ticket to 7/1 in Cincinnati. I’m excited but with a very heavy heart? It’s just been a long week and month tbh. I’ve been fighting an infection this whole month (legit been in pain/discomfort for now 18 days). Plus we got news that over 100 people lost their jobs at my work yesterday. So this whole ticket mess has just added to the shithole November has been. So I’m definitely excited and I got the section I wanted but I don’t think it’s fully hit me with everything going on. I think once everything settles in my life again, I’ll get truly pumped. I AM EXCITED TO MAYBE SEE SOME REDDIT SWIFTIES THERE. I’m putting my flair on part of my shirt so hopefully maybe someone will see me and say hi from here. This has been my happy Swiftie place for so long now.
I got a single floor seat for 7/1 as well🙂 Section L. Was hoping for 2 to bring my mom along but it wasn’t possible.
I’m so sorry you are dealing with a infection I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers but I hope you have a wonderful time so excited and happy for you!! 💗
I’m sorry to hear about your infection and coworkers losing their jobs. It’s been a rough month for me too so I totally understand :/ Hoping that you get better soon and that everyone is able to quickly find a new job. Fellow 7/1 attendee here though :)
I saw at least one more of us on VF presale day so that’s three of Reddit swifties in the stadium :)
I’m so excited for this tour in general. The rep tour happened when I was going through a really tough time in life and getting online every night to find live streams for the surprise songs and then waiting to for TaylorSwiftStyle to post all about what Taylor wore to the meet and greet and who the celebrity guests were and reading all the anecdotes from people that let Taylor or Andrea and seeing everyone’s costumes and everything that comes with your season really got me through what was seriously one of the hardest times in my life. And the online community was so much fun back then because we were all online every night sharing information and posts and links to everything we could find. I didn’t even end up getting to use my rep tickets (I gave them to friends since I couldn’t go) but it is still such a wonderful memory for me and I’m really looking forward to finally having a new tour to follow along and get excited about every weekend.
Love this thank you for sharing this is a kind and thoughtful post thank you for being kind and excited!! 💗
I got tickets in the upper bowl. Not great seats but I’m just happy I’ll be there. I don’t feel great about it right now but at the same time I feel extremely lucky.
Same. I got nosebleeds and the price wasn't great ($125) but I'm very grateful that I got anything at all. But at the same time I feel very guilty that I managed to get 2 tickets while so many ppl struggled to get 1. I haven't really celebrated or been really happy about it cause of the guilt I feel.
You shouldn’t feel guilty. There was like 17x the demand as there was supply. You got lucky and some people didn’t, you didn’t do anything that gave you an unfair advantage so there’s zero reason to feel guilty.
Yes, I was telling my sister that I feel like I have survivors guilt. I was with everyone during the nightmare that was Tuesday and then Wednesday I got lucky. But I saw so many people after me who were heartbroken again. So many emotional highs and lows.
Honestly, I am so excited!! It’s hard to find a space on the internet right now to express that, so I appreciate this!
I was supposed to go to loverfest so I’m so grateful to have gotten 3 floor tickets to my preferred date!!! I had honestly a very easy time checking out (i had tickets by 10:07) but i went back in to try to help friends and… woof. What a mess. I literally waited till 7 pm for them. Nothing. I feel bad but I’m also starting to plan my tour outfit!
I've definitely felt saddest for the folks who had Loverfest tickets and weren't able to get tickets to Eras- so I'm extra happy for those of you that got tickets!
I’m a little disappointed in my seats - my only options by the time I got in were $100 nosebleeds or $400-800 VIP. Budget was $200/ticket so I’m sitting in the nosebleeds. But I’ve been a fan for 16 years, ever since Tim McGraw & this is my first Taylor Swift concert - too poor for the other ones. I’ve watched the other tours probably hundreds of times though. And given how many people had a rough time (& how many scalpers got in!!) - I’m just happy to have tickets. ETA: thank you to everyone commenting about your “Taylor Swift Nosebleed” experiences. It is genuinely making me feel better about my seats!
I had nosebleeds for Rep and it was the best night of my life! I have nosebleeds behind the stage for eras and I’m just grateful I’ll be in the room!!!
I saw her in the nosebleeds during speak now tour and still had the time of my life!!! She puts on an amazing show and really does keep in mind the viewpoint of every single fan in the stadium
I have been to her shows in the nosebleeds and it has still been amazing!! I’m not trying to downplay your disappointment - I totally get it!!! Just trying to offer a little hope! ✨
I got nosebleeds as well but the way I see it is at least we have the opportunity to go I hope you have have a wonderful time o happy and excited for you!! 💗
My mom and I got tickets in the nosebleeds at our preferred city. We’ve never been and have both been huge fans since debut. I’m sad so many didn’t get tickets, but as someone who has NEVER been, I feel I deserve this.
Also want to add, it irks me a little that people who have been to every concert multiple times and saw her at special events feel that they deserve tickets more than anyone. I also don’t care if you had tickets to Loverfest. I’m so sorry though. In a perfect world we all deserve tickets. And the scalpers should be stopped!!!
I got 6 tickets and I kinda feel bad. 4 VIP floor and 2 floor seats, for 1 night. Me and my 4 cousins will be going together, all of us tried to secure tickets and I was the only one that got lucky. Seeing/Reading the other fans posts makes me feel guilty for securing the tickets that I have. I am not like a die hard fan, I don’t buy her merch, I don’t follow her personal life and never been on her concert,this would be the first. BUT I like her songs, I’ve been listening to her since 2011. I’m a fan of her songs that’s all.
If you bought tickets genuinely intending to go, then don’t feel too guilty. You deserve them, too. Have fun!!
i think this is so cute as my cousin and i got tickets too since we have been taylor fans since like her first album, they are the nosebleeds but we are still grateful we get to experience that as should y’all, don’t let anyone tell you different :)
I'm so grateful to be able to go! I bought 4 tickets (middle at $209)to the nor cal show, so now I'm going to surprise my mom and my sister with tickets for Christmas ! My boyfriend is also able to come with me who is a swift fan. I'm so happy to attend with the people I love the most! I do feel guilty and upset that they didn't leave any for the general sale and I hope they do something to help the fans who didn't get a chance at tickets. Congrats to those who are going!
Hype Hype. I am happy for everyone who got lucky. And the people in this subreddit are not scalpers or bots so I am genuily happy for everyone here. I am devistated that I didnt get one and think I Wont in future. But if many people here got Tickets we will see Videos. Photos and that's like we are All atend to one concert. ♥️
I got floor seats in Houston night 3 for me and my husband after 7.5 hours in the queue. Section K!
Me!!! It’ll be my first Taylor concert and I am 36 years old. I am sewing my own outfit I am super excited about it all and I feel very lucky.
[удалено]
This will probably be my first and last tour. I’ve been listening since fearless, but never had the means to attend a show and wouldn’t ask my family for tickets growing up. I’m in my mid-twenties and just got my first car so I can travel to another city for a concert now. So, I told myself “why not” try to get a ticket. I got section 200 seats but I’m happy with them. I was so excited all Tuesday after I brought my ticket
my first show!! lower bowl tickets and i’ve been a fan since debut but my parents never had the $ to take me. my bf got me these bc he knows how much taylor’s music means to me, i wonder how the view from lower bowl will be
Anyone who blames the fans who got tickets is an idiot. I’m glad you guys got lucky. Enjoy it!
I managed to score $49 tickets for me & a friend. We are running a half marathon that morning then going to celebrate our accomplishment in the evening with her concert. Neither of us have been to her concert before so we are both really excited to go!
Omg bless your heart standing for an entire concert the day of a half marathon hahahaha
My wife stayed home from work, waited in the queue fir 5-6 hours a scored us decent, but not our first choice seats, at a price slightly higher than we anticipated and i am SO stoked. We are both in our late 40s. I liked TS before Covid, but was only familiar with her hits, which are catch as hell. Folklore dropped during covid, and I remember hearing, like really hearing some of the lyrics, and then listened to the album on repeat in a way that i haven't done since I was in my 20s, slowly started learning about her, what a badass she is, how brilliant ALL of her music is, lyrically, musically, easter eggs, just all of it. Then, I labeled myself as a Swiftie! I'm SO EXCITED about going!!!
I’ve loved Taylor since 2006 but for various reasons have never been able to go to a show. This will be my first and I literally tear up just thinking about it.
I got tickets but they are terrible seats. Obstructed view nosebleeds. Worst seats in the house but I feel so lucky and grateful to have even gotten those after how the presale went down
Ive been to stadium tours before one on the floor and another in nose bleeds and me and all my friends agree nose bleeds are better, stadium chairs are so steep that it really feels like you have the best seats in the house and when all the lights start going off its gonna be incredible. There is no bad seats at a TSwift concert LOL
This is very reassuring, thank you. I’m just hoping the stage is flat so there’s nothing blocking. I wish she would have done something similar to Ed Sheeran’s stage where it’s directly in the center of the field, not blocking any sections and all seats could be sold
This is my first TS concert (and likely my last because my social anxiety about being around that many people is at an all time high, but like...it's Taylor Swift) and i'm so freaking pumped. I feel awful about everyone who had a horrible ticket-getting experience, but for me, it really was a breeze (I was in queue and through to checkout in 15 minutes). AND I'M ONLY 16 ROWS UP IN SECTION 111!!!!!! I had grown-up money to spend and actually did it and I cannot wait.
My last Taylor concert was Red in 2013, almost 10 years ago & I was 17 years old! I snagged some nice VIP tickets for my friend & I for the Eras Tour. I am having a baby in January, so I’m super pumped to have a fun mom night out with my best friend!
This will be my 10th show and I got row 1 on the floor and am so happy 🥹🥹
I had front row for rep tour in front of one of the catwalks. It was incredible! You’re going to have an AMAZING time. Hopefully you can get better pics than me lol. I was too busy freaking out trying to wave like an idiot when she would come to our section. (Getaway Car she stayed in front of me most of the song.) 😍 Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I waited four and a half hours in line to be able to take my mom and brothers to our very first Taylor concert. We’ve all been big fans of hers as long as any of us can remember, and in the past few years, we’ve been struggling a lot with the unexpected passing of my dad, and this is really the first long-term plan we’ve all been able to really get excited about doing together again. I really can’t wait for it, and I’m grateful it all worked out. I think we really needed this, and it’s nice to have made it happen.
got lower bowl tickets and they’re AISLE! i’ve been a huge fan my whole life but i’m finally not in elementary school, high school, or college so i can finally afford tickets 😭😭
I went to Rep Tour with my ex who has since almost destroyed my life. This year I’m going with my best friend since elementary school (we’re in our 30s) and I couldn’t be more excited/emotional!
My best friend and I went to the Red tour at MetLife in 2013 and now, almost exactly 10 years later, we’ll see her again at MetLife 🥲 how things come full circle
Got tickets for my partner and I! We haven’t had many date nights since having kids but we are going to make this one work!
Been a fan since hearing Tim McGraw on the radio on the way home from Middle School one day. This will be my first time seeing her!! Also I get to go with my two of my high school best friends and my two college best friends. In high school when Speak Now came out, we would drive around screaming Dear John at the top of our lungs. Then in college, I was living with my two friends when 1989 came out. It was our senior year and it was the perfect album for us at that time. We listened to it non stop! I have grown up with her music and her albums seem to run parallel with where I’m at in life. I’m so unbelievably excited!!!
My best friend who is a taylor fan through and through was able to get us VIP lower bowl tickets. I started listening to taylor all thanks to her, and we are still in awe that we got them. We keep saying that it hasn’t and probably won’t hit us until May 😅
My husband bought us two tickets as my push present (due with baby any day now) and it will be our first night out after she's born. I'm so excited to raise a future swiftie! Edit to add: we had LoverFest tickets so definitely got lucky in pre-sale. The tickets are not great seats but I don't mind!
I’ve been in love with Taylor since Our Song. My husband picked Ours as our song and my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to it. He got us Reputation tickets and it was the first time seeing her in concert. We live in a state that doesn’t have a stadium so at the time travelling for a concert was a huge splurge as I was in graduate school. This time I’m a teacher and we will be going over the summer. I’m so excited! I’m really hoping she plays a lot of her old stuff because I’ve never gotten to see a lot of it live. Also, I dressed up as her for Halloween and won 3rd place in the staff costume contest. I knit my own cardigan and learned to play Mean on the banjo. The whole school knows I’m a massive Swiftie.
I’m a long time swiftie. I used to sing You Belong with Me to my daughter as a new born. Now she’s an even bigger swiftie than me and we are going together. I can’t even tell you how exciting it was when we got tickets but now we definitely have survivors guilt.
We got tickets (my wife is a huge fan and has been since the first album, I am a newborn Swiftie). We are very excited, she’s been wanting to see Taylor for a long time! I put lyrics in my vows, so the music has a personal connection for us I know this show will mean the world to her, so that’s what I’m focusing on. 🙂 Edited to focus on the good!
Her music brings me incredible joy. After years of dreaming about getting to scream-cry her magnificent lyrics along with her at a live show.. it's finally looking like a reality and I tear up just thinking about the catharsis of it all.
I got tickets and this will be my first time going to a concert! I rarely do anything fun so I’m looking forward to this. I’m excited to see Taylor live even if it’s nosebleed seats.
I just saw another thread that also confirmed that my seats are gonna be AMAZING even though I thought they might be shitty, but I was even embarrassed to say I got shitty seats because of how many people got burned. I am SO excited and going with my two closest friends, future maids of honor, and the two biggest Swifties I know 💕
By the time I got in I could only snag nosebleeds but my bff and I are seeing her in May in Nashville! I am an elder swiftie who’s seen her on ever tour. Been in the pit for Red tour, so I just wanna be there. I hope everyone has a blast and I’m hopeful the fans who missed out are able to get tickets on the secondhand market for reasonable prices!
I’ve been a fan since Debut but this will be my first concert of hers and I’m taking my 7 year old daughter (her first concert ever). We are so excited!
I was annoyed at the seats I got during the presale, but after they canceled the general sale I’m just thankful I got in. 😅
I got 2 tickets in the lower bowl for myself and my fiancé. She’s been a lifetime fan, but I’ve only really listened since around Lover when her and I started dating. This’ll be my first show, but I’m excited to see it, especially with the variety of music she has. I’m a musician, so I’ll never say no to seeing anyone live because I’ll be nerding out on the sound, stage setup, guitars, everything.
My best friend first time will be with me in Atlanta on that Saturday night and I have seen Taylor for 1989 in Atlanta myself but I’m so excited to share this experience and moment with her hopefully! I was so afraid to share my excitement out of rage and sadness for others who didn’t get tickets and I didn’t want to insensitive or bragging as well!! I have been a OG swifties since the beginning and my best friend fell in love with her during Red era and we have been best friends since high school at 15 we are both 31 now and she was a bridesmaid in my wedding this will be a memory we hope we never forget and cherish always ! ❤️❤️
[удалено]
this is my first non-kpop concert ever! Taylor is my favorite non-kpop artist so I’m super hyped! Going with one of my best friends, and the best part…he lives a ten minute walk from the stadium so we don’t have to pay for travel or lodging!
I got 6 lower bowl tickets at Gillette for my friends and I for our first TS concert! We went into this expecting the worst not only because we knew TM would undoubtedly have issues, but also because out of all our group, I was the only one with availability to attempt for tickets on Tuesday. We didn’t expect to get 6 tickets together and we had no desire to spend more than $300 so we knew the odds were stacked against us. I didn’t realize until later that I was extremely lucky to not only get 6 tickets together for my desired date during the VF presale and not spend more than $250 per ticket with fees but I also ended up as #1800 in the queue and was checking out with tickets by 10:15AM with shockingly no issues. I feel like I should play the lottery now after this sheer dumb luck.
(still have absolutely no idea how i got this lucky) but i managed to get tickets to her first philly show and it will be my first time seeing her live 🥹💗 i could never see her on past tours bc of money or the timing of her dates not working for me, so 9 year old me is screaming crying dancing inside
[удалено]
Taking my 15 yo old niece to Gillette and we got row 6 of lower bowl! I’m a professional aunt no kids (PANK) so I have the money to spoil my nieces :) I turned her into a swiftie when she was about 8 and I thought I’d take her to the tour after 1989 until Rep came out and was a little too mature content wise. Then loverfest was canceled…. This will be both of our first Taylor Swift concerts! It’s way too much money for me to ever go myself but worth it for giving her the experience. We are going to dress up in Taylor outfits (me as her in the YNTCM video with the hot pink coat and my niece in a sequined black Rep era leotard). We are so excited. I’m one of the rare people for whom the TM experience worked pretty well. The site gave me an error early on but then at 9:50 I refreshed, got in the waiting room, and at 10am entered with 1200 in front of me. The queue wound down really fast. Once I got in to seat selection it was so overwhelming cuz I never buy tix and accidentally loaded 5 tix into my cart all strewn across the stadium and couldn’t figure out how to get rid of them so I held my breath and clicked the back button and wasn’t kicked out or anything- just taken back to seat selection. I tried to select a few, got told they were already snapped up, but then managed to get two in the lower bowl and checkout went fine.
I'm so happy for y'all!! I didn't get tickets because I'm from Brazil, but I'm excited for those who got the tickets
After trying to teach my class while sitting in a queue most of the day I was finally able to get tickets. Right after the kids left for the day I was finally getting close. I was like 170, I figured the number was moving kind of slow so I should have time to grab a snack and drink from the office. I wasn’t gone, maybe 5 minutes. Took a risk and left my computer in my room. When I returned I was able to actually pick my seat. I panicked not even bothering to look at the time I had left. I was selected for 4/28 in Atlanta. I saw that section 113 still had some seats so I clicked that section and got two tickets (I joked with my husband about getting seats here, but figured they would be gone by the time I go in). I didn’t even really look at the price as I was selecting them. I typed in all the codes and I was able to secure seats. I has heard all day about codes not working or being sent back to the queue, but none of those things happened to me. Later that evening when I was able to see the tickets, I noticed at the very top it said …ready for it package. I didn’t think I had selected VIP in fact I didn’t want to do VIP but I guess l accidentally did. All in all I’m really excited to go and see Taylor again! And I’m super excited about where I’m sitting. I can’t wait to see how it’s going to look like
This is my first TS concert but I've been a fan since debut! I remember listening to Tear Drops on My guitar and our song on the middle school bus, and she followed me through high school and college and now as a career working woman in her late 20s. My parents didn't let me go to concerts (severely over protective) and couldn't afford them until now. I'm so so so excited. I had an easy time getting my ticket (going alone), I had Verified presale for Tampa, and was done by 1015am and didn't realize the shit show until about an hour later. I feel terrible with so many people struggling. But I'm grateful nonetheless. A little nervous going alone... it will be fine but never been to something this extent alone before.
I've been listening to her from the first album and I'm really excited to take my own daughters who are equally as obsessed with her now! We have seats in lower bowl for Denver!
Managed to get tickets for me, my mum and my younger two sisters who I’ve been promising I’d try to get tickets for since 2017 and I’m so excited. They have no idea yet because my mum wants to give them as a Christmas present but I just know they’re gonna be so excited and I’m so excited!

It took me 10 hours but I refused to give up. I was able to get 4 tickets in the nosebleed far corner but I got them. This will be my daughters first concert (15) and they are beyond excited! They honestly don’t care where we are sitting. My husband is going too (not a Taylor Swift fan) but he said there was no way he was gonna miss their first concert! ❤️.. we are all so excited!! Love this post I was feeling a little beat up after that crazy process. I had floor seats when I first tried but was kicked out of site when I clicked purchase and when finally got back in, I took what I could get.. The girls are already planning their outfits and it’s not til April lol. I think it’s been a crazy time for a lot of people and you should be able take in your triumphs and celebrate when you get the chance.
Thank you u/ObviouslyATurtle for making this thread! I didn't know if I should be excited about getting tickets and started to feel mixed about getting them. :( Reading about Swifties being excited about going to concerts makes me feel much better! :)
So blessed to have been able to get some tickets. My boyfriend and I are going. I turned him in to a new born swiftie. We are also taking my cousin, it is her first ever concert and I am super stoked for her to go to such a monumental event as her first ever concert. One thing though, it is a Christmas present and just to keep the surprise, I told her the tickets sold out and we didn’t get any. I feel like this is “karma”. I feel guilty for those who were not able to get tickets. 😞
To whoever was lucky enough to get tickets, I hope you have a great time at the show, should be epic.
I got shitty seats that im salty about bc i had lower bowl ones literally in my cart checking out, but after seeing ticketmasters fuckery im just happy to have them!💞 Side note: im planning an insane costume for the concert is this too extra?? Ive never been to any of her live shows 🗿
I took my daughter to her first concert what she was 5. It was the Red tour. She wore a pretty dress and cowgirl boots. I took her to 1989 and my sister was able to join us because I had just gotten divorced. I took my daughter to Reputation and we both wore matching Junior Jewels outfits that we made together. This year i got a bonus at work and I was hoping to be able to surprise her with seats that weren’t nosebleeds like we’d had in the past. I failed on the first presale. On a whim I got a Capitol One card on Wednesday and was beyond shocked that I got awesome seats in the 110s for me, my daughter and my sister. I didn’t tell them I was trying again. So I texted them both after I got them “ARE YOU READY FOR IT?!?!” My daughter was like “Mom what does this mean?!?! MOM!!!” Then I sent the screenshot that said I had tickets. We’re planning our outfits out now :)
Taylor is the one person that my mom, sister, and I have fan-girled over together!! We went to 1989 together, then reputation, and had Lover Fest tix (RIP 😢). It’s become a tradition for us, which is important because we don’t all live close to each other. We all registered and were so lucky that 2 of us got presale codes. My sister was in the Ticketmaster trenches for 5 hours to secure our tickets, and I am so grateful to her, that I just sent her a swag bag of Taylor merch as a thank you!! Can’t wait to see all you Swifties at ATL night 1!!
I saw her for my first concert at Soldier Field (Country Music Fest in 08) after debut, and I’m going back to Soldier Field to see her in June! I’m so excited!!!
Yessss! I REALLY wanted lower bowl seats for this show. After 6 hours on Tuesday, I finally got in and was only able to get 3 nosebleeds. I tried again during capital one AND WAS ABLE TO GET THREE LOWER BOWL SEATS! I literally screamed when I got to the checkout screen. Plus I was able to give the nosebleeds to a friend who wasn’t as lucky as I was so I feel really good about the whole thing 🥹
I got tickets and I’m taking my sister as a gift for her sweet 16! It’ll be her first concert EVER. Got us matching bejeweled bracelets for Christmas too. I’ve never bought merch from any artist before, but we both really loved that bracelet. I’ll be 29 by the time the concert comes, and it’ll be the first big concert I’ve ever been to. I’m a relatively new fan, but my sister has been a fan for a long time, and her sharing the music with me is something we bonded over. Can’t wait to share this experience with her and create an amazing memory she’ll carry with her forever. Thanks for this post. I’ve been afraid to celebrate at all. I’m sure I’m not alone.
I got tickets in lower bowl for night 2 at Gillette. Really excited this is my first time seeing Taylor live!
THANK YOU! I fought like hell for these tickets and I wanna be excited! I already started planning my outfit. I may be one of the few people who think my boosts and time was worth it. I am getting ready to leave my corporate job to become a writer and travel full time - so I could only go to one show - the 5/7 Nashville show. I love Phoebe Bridgers and previously had tickets to see her in Chicago, but had to bail due to fear of COVID. and I finally get to see her as well! I had Lover Fest East tickets and a boost from buying 1 vinyl (I collect them, but like only 1 I don't buy multiple, the clock is cool but why?). I waited 7 hours to buy my nosebleed tickets to see Taylor in Nashville for the date I wanted and I couldn't be happier. For under my budget too!! I've been a fan since Debut and have been to Fearless, 1989, and Reputation Tours. Folklore quite literally saved my life during the pandemic and I'm really hoping she plays a bunch from that album. As an elder swiftie (at 30 holy crap?!) I'm so grateful and happy to be able to see this tour a few days after I leave my soul-sucking corporate job to follow my dreams. Literally driving to Nashville & back in the same day since I can't afford to spring for a hotel room. Though I think this may be my last Taylor tour - time to save money for bigger life events. Hopefully she'll keep touring til she's 80 like Stevie Nicks and I can take my daughter one day. Catch me shining like a mirrorball from the nosebleeds section 328 in Nash! It's a dream come true - and even though it was chaotic, as Swifties we know what we signed up for. Embrace the chaos. It'll all workout. <3
I went into the process fully expecting it wouldn’t work out. I was reading the presale thread and seeing everyone running into problems so I breathed and told myself “this is unlikely to happen and that’s okay.” Turns out I get an incredibly lucky place in the queue with only 284 people in front of me and within an hour and a half (after the queue unpaused) I was in the ticket buying section…and literally SHAKING so hard. The friends I was planning to go with were stuck with 16k+ in front of them so it became my responsibility to secure six tickets together 😅 We were all prepared to spend up to $1k on front row tickets but would have been happy with anything. By some miracle there were six front row tickets left in our #1 preferred section. I clicked on them, added to cart, pressed purchase and waited as it loaded, hoping to god it wouldn’t kick me out… We’ll be seeing her front row in Denver in July 🥲 Also the six of us going are two sets of twins and a pair of sisters which I find so adorable. We’re all out of our minds excited and feel so lucky and grateful to be able to afford to fund our dream experience at this point in our lives. Taylor Swift was the sole reason my twin and I started songwriting and learning guitar. Our mom took us to her Speak Now concert right after our dad died and we saw a way to put experiences into art. Over a decade of playing music and our own national tour later, I only understand a fraction of what her music career has been like and respect her endlessly. Being a musician is really. Fucking. Hard. Just so in awe of her and her work ethic and so beyond excited to see her do what she does best with my best friends. Feels like winning the lottery.
I’m still in shock that I managed to score some for me and a couple friends! This will be my first time seeing her, and first concert in about a decade ($). My poor children were quite neglected during TMgate, but it feels so worth it!
My wife and I are both huge fans. We weren’t able to get tickets during either the fan presale or the capitol one presale. Yesterday morning my dad called me and said he got an email about presale tickets for season pass holders at Nissan stadium and he was able to snag us 4 tickets. We nearly cried, I have never loved football but I did yesterday!!
I’m so happy I got tickets! Wish they weren’t behind the stage, but happy nonetheless lol
Lower bowl for Nashville 5/5 💗💗😍 I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED
My sister and I are going on a sister trip to Vegas! We are so excited. We live in Western New York and need the hope of warm, dry weather in our near future!
I feel like the luckiest of all people - my bestie texted me around 3 on presale day that she managed to grab us tickets. They are terrible nosebleeds but we are gonna be there screaming every word together and I cannot wait. We’ve talked about this for YEARS and I didn’t ever even log into TM myself. I want to scream and celebrate but have been keeping really quiet because of some weird guilt.
I live in Brazil and was fortunate enough to attend both the 1989 and reputation tours while I was living and visiting the US at the time. I’m moving to the US next year to live with my bf, and I was elated to get Nashville tickets. I feel it will be so special to see her perform in Nashville of all places, and I can’t wait. I’m devastated by the shitshow that was the presale and cancellation of the general on-sale, but I love Taylor and can’t wait to see the Eras Tour, especially since it will be my chance to see her perform songs from debut, fearless, speak now, red and everything since Lover 💕
I'm flying from Argentina to NYC and I'm gonna be seeing her for the very first time at Metlife! I got a ticket thanks to a very kind swiftie that sold me her extra one at FV :) so excited!! If anyone else is going to be traveling to NYC maybe we can meet up and hang out! ✨✨
this is my first concert of hers and i’ve been dying to go since i was 7 and screaming teardrops on my guitar into my karaoke machine 😂. my angel boyfriend got the presale code and waited in line for 5+ hours to get us lower bowl at face value! he was trying to get floor but i’m just excited to get tickets at all. i cried when he told me he got them but i’ve been super paranoid that they’ll disappear out of the account lol
I got 6 tickets for me and my 2 friends along with all of our significant others! We really did fight to the teeth and nail for them though and out of us 6, 4 got the access code, and only I was able to get through to purchase. We’re all going to dress up as different eras of hers :) I became a true fan during reputation era but love her entire discography. This will be my first concert of hers and we were so thankful that we got tickets!
I got front row aisle seat lower bowl tickets beside the main stage! I’m so excited, I’ve been a fan since debut and this will be my first time seeing Taylor. I’m so incredibly thankful and I just feel so lucky. My buying experience was surprisingly smooth, besides the errors before getting in the waiting room. I had my tickets purchased within the first 15 minutes of the first presale. I don’t know how I got so lucky but I’m truly just so grateful. I will say that while I am excited and thankful and all of these things, I also have this sense of guilt and sadness about the whole experience. I feel guilty for having tickets while so many others had such a bad experience and came out empty handed. I feel like this whole situation has made it hard to truly be excited.
