Due to what they called “historically unprecedented demand,” Ticketmaster postponed some Taylor Swift pre-sales.
Scheduled to launch her ‘Eras Tour’ in 2023, the first set of tickets went live on Tuesday (11.15), with the surge of demand causing the company’s website to crash.
In a formal statement written on Ticketmaster’s official Twitter account, the online sales giant stated:
“There has been historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to buy tickets for the TaylorSwiftTix Presale.” “Hundreds of thousands of tickets have been sold. If you have already secured tickets, you are all set.” “If you are currently in a queue, please hang tight – queues are moving and we are working to get fans through as quickly as possible.” “West Coast onsales for Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Santa Clara and Seattle originally scheduled for 10 a.m. PT will now be taking place at 3 p.m. PT. Queues will open 30 minutes prior.”
Rescheduled for Wednesday (16.11.22) at 2pm “local venue time”, Ticketmaster delayed the Capital One sale with all previous codes and links still valid, adding “Thank you for your patience as we continue managing this huge demand.”
With 52 shows already booked throughout the United States, Taylor’s tour will be her biggest American run to date.
Keen to get back on the road and reconnect with her Swifties, the 32-year-old superstar singer/songwriter’s last trek was 2018’s ‘Reputation Stadium Tour.’
