Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ is her first in five years, and it kicks off March 16th at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Last November, fans were disappointed and outraged when her Ticketmaster servers at the distributor couldn’t keep up with the demand for tickets for the tour.
For the initial release of the ticket, Ticketmaster ran a “verified fan” pre-sale for those who successfully applied for a code for early access to the ticket. However, Ticketmaster.com crashed at the start of his presale on November 15, 2022, leaving fans waiting in line for virtual tickets for hours.
“Tomorrow’s Taylor Swift General Sale | Eras Tour has been canceled due to extremely high demand for our ticketing system and not enough ticket stock left to meet that demand.” Ticketmaster shared in a tweet at the time.
In response, Swift expressed her disappointment in a post on her Instagram story on Nov. 18, sharing her desire to make things right with her fans.
“Good. Needless to say, I am very protective of my fans,” she wrote at the time. It’s just unbearable to watch failures happen without help.There are many reasons why people have had trouble getting tickets and I’m trying to understand how this situation can be improved. I’ve asked many times if they can handle this kind of request, so I’m not going to make excuses for anyone.
