Breaking news:Taylor Swift Fans Benefit After Major Announcement..read more

Taylor Swift fans got some good news this week that might help them better afford tickets the next time the pop sensation goes on tour.

Tickets for Swift’s Eras Tour were infamously difficult to get and were exorbitantly expensive on the secondary market, with resale prices hitting tens of thousands of dollars, sparking backlash against Ticketmaster, the country’s biggest ticketing website and concert promoter.

The ticket prices
were such a high-profile issue that Swift herself actually issued a statement on social media in which she seemingly criticized Ticketmaster for the handling of the tickets.

Well. It goes without saying that I’m extremely protective of my fans. We’ve been doing this for decades together and over the years, I’ve brought so many elements of my career in house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do,” Swift wrote on her Instagram story back in November of 2022. “It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse

“Well. It goes without saying that I’m extremely protective of my fans. We’ve been doing this for decades together and over the years, I’ve brought so many elements of my career in house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do,” Swift wrote on her Instagram story back in November of 2022. “It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse.

“There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward. I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.

And to those who didn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to all get together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.”
