The first pre-sale offering of “VIP packages” for the Australian leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour – available only to American Express cardholders and worth more than $1,000 in some cases – have sold out, hours after they went on sale on Monday.

The Amex ticket site crashed half an hour before some presale packages for the Sydney shows of the February 2024 tour went live for cardholders at 10am on Monday. Melbourne packages were available later in the day and presale and general sale tickets are due to become available later in the week.
