Early access was granted to fans who pre-ordered the artist’s most recent album, Midnights; tickets for London and Edinburgh went on sale at 11:00 BST.A wait of more than 40,000 individuals was started online, and none of the significant issues that plagued Swift’s US sale occurred.
However, several visitors said they were turned away after getting to the head of the line.
One person posted on Twitter, “I was first in line for Taylor Swift tickets and Ticketmaster kicked me out for literally no reason.” “There goes my chance at getting tickets.”
Gavin Newlands, an MP for the Scottish National Party, claimed that he experienced a similar outcome when attempting to buy tickets for his daughter.
He wrote, “Just as I got in, you kicked me out with a mistake.” “I’m back in line at around 18,000, with no hope of getting a ticket. Super.”
Those who made it discovered that tickets ranged in price from £58 to £194. Standing room only tickets at the front of the show cost £172.25, while general admission tickets cost £110.
There were also VIP packages available, which ranged in price from £196 to £662 and included early entrance as well as bonus products.
Millions of people have registered to attend Swift’s 13 shows in the UK this summer, which will be among the most popular events the nation has ever seen. These will be the pop star’s first performances since 2018.
The number of signups is unknown, but according to estimates, it is comparable to Australia, where four million people signed up for a chance to win one of 450,000 tickets.
The fortunate fans who were victorious on Monday were ecstatic. I’m completely crying in my room,” Zoe tweeted.
Singer Grace Davies continued, “Housemate Lucy got Taylor Swift tickets, so everything is now fine and there is no tension in the living quarters.”
On Monday afternoon, more pre-sales looked to go without a hitch. Fans celebrated their accomplishment by paraphrasing a Swift song: “We survived the great war.”
The fan pre-sales, however, are only a practice run for the general sale, which happens the following week. The likelihood of disappointment will rise as there are more tickets available and more individuals vying for them.
