Taylor Swift Concert Tickets

[jwright]

I have been sucked into the Swiftie world.  A group of seven of my friends and I all pre-registered for presale on Taylor tickets in 2023.  We each selected locations that appealed to us and wanted to make it a girls trip to whereever we ended up securing the tickets.  Turns out, of the seven, I am the only one who got a pre-sale code and I'm signed up to try for tickets in Nashville.

The sale starts in an hour and I'm nervous!  Anyone else getting tickets today?  


ETA: This is very out of touch with my normal concert going experience; the last concerts I have seen include Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan and Turnpike Troubadours.  Seeing Taylor Swift will definitely be an experience.

Trying to. I was ready at 9:30 to get in the waiting room and it took a good 15 mins for it to actually let me. I kept getting errors. Ticketmaster is the worst. They gave out the damn link and codes so they should know exactly how many people are going to be on - make sure your site can handle it! I finally got in but further back in queue than I probably would have been.

I went to see her on her last tour and it was not quite this crazy. But it definitely was a great show!

Good luck! Can you share your code with a friend? There is usually a limit on the number of tix you can buy - around 4 or so. So you may not be able to get enough for everyone.

I'm not in to TS, like, at all, but my DD expressed an interest in going. I'm going to try to see if I can make some magic happen at 2pm when the Capital One Pre-Sale starts, but I'm not holding out hope. I did win tickets on the radio the last time she toured, but ended up selling them. I'm thinking my luck has probably already been used up at this point.

I have friends trying hard - one is 2500 back in line or something as of a few minutes ago. I saw her 1989 concert and it was great, but I’m funky feeling inspired to see this one

All of this. I’m in the queue, but there are STILL 2000+ people ahead of me and I’m really annoyed. I’m looking at Philadelphia tix.

Thanks!  I'm going to buy the maximum 6 and hope for the best.  If we can get any, we'll probably bring other friends and split into groups with some buying tickets on the secondary market.

Is the queue based on when you logged on? Or is it associated with your code?

I got put on a wait-list but my friend's daughter got a code she doesn't need so I'm using it. Not sure how early I need to log on (I'm west coast so I have a few hours).

ETA she just sent me the email that says I can log on 30 minutes early.

Jim is waiting in the verified presale now. I'll log on with capital one later if he isn't successful. My parents are getting the tickets for H for Xmas. I am going too, but only because he wants to. I'm sure it'll be fun though.

[brooke77]

I didn’t get selected for pre-sale. My BFF did and is trying to get tickets. I have a feeling that we will be out-priced by the time she gets in.

We go to a ton of concerts but most are relatively small. We've never even been to heinz/acrisure for anything. We did see Tool and Smashing Pumpkins at PPG Paints Arena(NHL.)

[wildrice]

I posted in the randoms, but I did not get a code and I'm kind of heartbroken about it. I know that makes me sounds like a teen lol. I saw her Reputation tour and it was seriously the best show I've ever been to. Plus I was looking forward to a girls trip - one of the girls I haven't seen in over 4 years.

Good luck to those who got codes! If anyone ends up with an extra ticket for Philly keep me in mind

[jwright]

I'm 30 minutes from presale and am getting all kinds of error messages from both the Ticketmaster website and app. I can't even login on the website; I logged in on the app but can't search for the tickets.

This is stressful!

My husband is also getting error messages from Ticketmaster when he tried from work; I thought a different internet connection would be helpful.  How are you all getting into the waiting room?

[litebright]

Moving steadily up through the queue. Been waiting for about 30 minutes now and more than halfway through the line, from what it looks like. No crashes or anything so far.

This is a whole new experience for me. I did the verified pre-sale thing and did get a code, so now I've got my fingers crossed that I can actually buy tickets. My 12YO, 14YO and I will do a road trip to go see her in Philly if I am able to land the tickets.

[expectantsteelerfan]

I posted in the randoms that my bff and I are trying to get tickets and she was selected for the presale. The site crashed trying to get in the waiting room, but we made it in. We've been in the que since 10, and we've moved a good but, but it still says there's 2000+ people ahead of us, so no idea what kind of tickets will be left once we actually get in or how long this will take or what the price range will be. Still feeling all the things.

Depending on what I can get for 5/14 in Philly, I’ll let you know! I’m still waiting at 2000+, but I’m more than halfway across the screen in “line”.

[dancingirl21]

Good luck to all! I love T. Swift but I’m not even trying for tickets. I hope you all get them and can tell us how amazing the show is!

[gummybear]

We got tickets for D1 and two of her friends. She’s going to be over the moon. She’s been a fan forever.

ETA: This was through Capitol One and we got tickets for Philadelphia. H said it was $600 all in for center tier one row up (but very far from stage)

[lilypad1126]

I'm in the waiting room, just waiting for the sale to open for my venue in 9 minutes. we'll see how this goes. My mom wants to go with me, which is helpful b/c our budget for tickets is higher than my H's would be, so we have a slightly better chance of getting tickets. I'm still not holding my breath, ha.

[redheadk]

My page refreshed 15 seconds before 10am (sale time) to say I’m in the queue and that the page will automatically refresh when it’s my turn.

I didn’t get on earlier… should I have? I have things to do and it said 10am.

Annoyed.

Also, my venue uses SeatGeek. I wonder if that changes the process any?

I’m really hopeful this doesn’t take hours, either way.

Is no one else getting Error 503 first byte timeout message?  I have been getting it constantly on my phone and laptop, and now my husbands computer for 45 minutes

My venue is through SeatGeek so not sure if that changes things. I’m just sitting here in line, it’s auto refreshing but doesn’t seem to be moving up. But I’m not going to hit refresh myself!

Everyone I know trying for the Nashville show says the site is down. Swifties crashed the server

That makes me feel better; I thought it might have been my local internet; confirmed with three other people now that they are not getting in. 

[mala]

If it wasn't so crazy to get tickets I'd probably try. I didn't think I'd like "pop" Taylor, but I'm loving her few albums.

I got a bunch of 505 errors trying to get in the waiting room for my show. I kept trying and it finally let me in.

However I think they’re having more issues now. My queue has been stuck in same place. On Twitter seems like everyone is complaining their queue’s are stuck. And people complaining that they aren’t able to check out with their codes so probably why the queue isn’t moving. Omg I literally do not understand how they can’t handle this when they knew exactly how many propels to expect.

Unfortunately, this is going to be one of the hardest locations to score tickets. It’s her home town and this is the “it” city. Fingers crossed you get in and get some tickets.

[lilypad1126]

I now have a message that says the queue is temporarily paused but DO NOT HIT REFRESH! So, I guess I'm just going to keep monitoring that tab. Sigh.

Trying to for Denver
It took me several tries to even update my cc info

And yet they will still charge $30 per ticket for their service. I haaaate Ticketmaster
