Top tips for getting Taylor Swift gig tickets
1. Ensure you register for tickets
In order to have the best shot at getting tickets, you need to register on Taylor’s Ticketmaster site first, where you’ll be able to choose your preferred location. Although, Ticketmaster stress this doesn’t guarantee you a ticket.
You’ll be contacted on July 5 by Ticketmaster letting you know whether you’ve received an “on-sale code” or placed on a waiting list. You only have until 23:59 on June 22 to register.
As well as this, it’s important to get your loved ones to register too. More people registering for tickets may increase your chances of success.
2. Check all relevant pre-sales
This one’s for the fans who pre-ordered her Midnights album - if you did, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll receive a pre-sale code for doing so. Look out for an email notifying you of the pre-sale dates and your opportunity to choose your preferred cities.
As above, this doesn’t guarantee you a ticket, but the dates for UK pre-sale tickets are on July 10, 11 and 12. Ensure you check your spam folder just in case so you don’t miss out!
3. Ensure you have a Ticketmaster account
You want to minimise issues on the day, so ensure everybody trying to secure the tickets has signed up and logged into the platform first. This will allow you to skip a few vital seconds in the process of paying and securing your tickets. It could make all the difference. Also, ensure your payment details are set up too.
4. Never refresh the page
Once you are in the ticket queue, never be tempted to refresh. You may lose all your hard work and get kicked to the back of the very long queue. Being patient and not panicking is key to success.
5. Don’t panic if tickets sell out straight away
Missed the tickets? Be sure to check back on the sites after they say they're sold out. Sometimes ticket payments don't go through, the website crashes and more tickets are still available. Keep checking for roughly two hours after release. You might just be lucky.
Like in the US, there will be a higher-than-usual demand for international tickets, which means additional dates may be added, so don’t panic if you aren’t lucky the first time around.
6. Only purchase from sellers you know and trust
Although it might be tempting to purchase a ticket elsewhere if you weren’t successful on the day, be wary of who you’re buying from and do your research beforehand. Never allow someone to send you a screenshot of a ticket as these are invalid or send payment before receiving the tickets. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
