Pop icon Taylor Swift is back at Wembley Stadium with her Eras Tour.
Thursday, August 15, 2024, was the first of five dates the Bejewelled singer will be playing in the capital. The second show was on Friday, with the final three of the Europe leg of her tour happening on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday August 17, 19 ad 20.
It’s her second visit on her Eras Tour after playing three consecutive nights at Wembley in June.
Over the five nights, Taylor’s support Paramore are being joined by five new acts to open the show, with a different one each night. Sofia Isella opened on Thursday, Holly Humberstone on Friday, Suki Waterhouse on Saturday, Maisie Peters on Monday and RAYE on Tuesday.
While this is extremely exciting for fans who have already managed to secure tickets, many dedicated Swifties will no doubt be left out. However, there is still a way to get tickets – according to other fans.
Speaking out on Mumsnet, a collection of fanatics explained how they had managed to get tickets for their chosen Eras Tour date on the day of the event.
One of the users, Klippityklopp, claimed Ticketmaster sent a collection of codes to fans, giving them access to buying tickets at the last minute. They wrote: “I got my Ticketmaster code notification last Friday for Edinburgh, I’d already made plans so couldn’t go but did have a look at the availability and there seemed to be lots available starting from just over £80. My friend went on Friday, got a notification for Sunday so went again but I didn’t ask how much she paid for them.”
Hapagirl48 claimed: “My friend kept refreshing Ticketmaster and got Edinburgh last day at 6:45pm for £110 so keep trying!”
User BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop agreed, telling readers: “My pal got a notification on Friday, she didn’t see it until later as it had gone into her spam. We ended up getting £170 front standing tickets at 11am Saturday for the Saturday night. She used the code again to on the Sunday. It was great, we were very close to the stage. Keep an eye on your email once they have erected the stage and reassessed how many people they can get into the stadium.” (sic)
Finally, Sammysquiz commented: “Apparently with Liverpool some people got tickets by calling the venue on the day. I think AXS will be your best bet though, you’ll need a code for Ticketmaster even for resale tickets.”
Ticketmaster’s resale system is still up and running and if any tickets have been released by fans back into the wild through official channels, they will be available on Ticketmaster’s resale network. You can look at the available offerings using the below link:
Otherwise, many fans have been looking into buying resale tickets from third-party websites.
How to buy Taylor Swift tickets for Eras Tour now
The Taylor Swift resale market has exploded over the past few months as desperate fans have resorted to buying and selling tickets to the Eras Tour on second-hand websites.
viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”
Websites such as viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to track down their ideal tickets for the Eras Tour. This means you could grab tickets anywhere from front-standing to seats in the back row.
With that said, they may be a little more expensive than you’re expecting. At the time of writing, some tickets are being priced at £480 for a seated ticket. General admission has been priced at just above £700.
