Taylor Swift fans hoping to secure tickets for her 2024 Eras Tour have been warned fraudsters could take advantage of “phenomenal demand” for the shows.
Fans who registered last week were to have learned on July 5 if they had been randomly selected to receive a highly sought-after pre-sale code giving them access to ticket sales for the US superstar’s UK dates in June, July and August next year. But an email on Wednesday informed them that more shows had been added to the tour due to “phenomenal demand” and that they would learn by midnight on July 14 if they had been selected to access the ticket sale or be placed on a waiting list.
As fan anxiety mounts ahead of the pre-sale, experts have warned consumers that any offers of tickets outside of official routes sent by sellers Ticketmaster and AXS to those who have pre-registered should be avoided. According to Action Fraud, UK consumers lost more than £6.7 million to ticket fraud in 2022.
