Dad pays £16k for daughter to see Taylor Swift after concert ticket disaster

A dad forked out a whopping $21,000 (£16,000) on Taylor Swift concert tickets for his daughter and her friends after their original tickets reportedly failed to turn up. When the pop star's Era's tour was announced last year, Anthony Silva rushed to purchase four tickets as a Christmas gift to his 19-year-old daughter Katlyn.

The tickets meant mega fan Kaylyn and her pals would be able to see their favourite singer on May 19 at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, USA. Altogether, the generous gift via ticket resale company StubHub set Anthony back $1,800 (£1,444).

However, disaster struck when the father was left empty-handed just days before the concert as he claims StubHub emailed him to say the tickets were never delivered and replacement seats weren’t available. Anthony says the company also offered him a full $1,800 refund.
