Taylor Swift fans have shared their anxiety as they eagerly await learning if they’ve secured a presale ticket code for the UK and European leg of her Eras tour.
People had to register last month for the opportunity to nab a presale code, a move the pop star has employed after bots targeted her pre-sales in the States.
And on Wednesday, fans are set to learn if they were selected to receive an “on-sale code” or whether they have been placed on a waiting list.
Ticketmaster hasn’t specified when the messages will be sent out, but times will be staggered to ensure their systems don’t get overwhelmed as they did when her tour went on sale across the pond.
The lucky few who get the golden presale code will then receive a purchase link and access code via SMS on Wednesday July 12, the day before tickets go on sale.
But as of 4pm, fans were yet to hear anything, and they took to social media in their droves to share their nervous anticipation.
One fan tweeted bluntly: “Send the emails!!!!”.
“Ticketmaster really do be out here keeping everyone on an edge of a mental breakdown,” another commented.
A third wrote: “This is torture waiting for the ticketmaster email #TaylorSwift #TaylorSwiftErasTour #TheErasTour.”
“Has anyone got a presale code for the UK dates yet?” a fan simply asked.
Last month, the US popstar, 33, finally confirmed UK dates for her Eras tour including four gigs at Wembley Stadium.
The star unveiled dates for concerts as far afield as Mexico, Japan and Spain in the announcement which was posted online.

She will play Wembley on June 21 and 22 next year and again on August 16 and 17 with gigs in Liverpool, Edinburgh, Cardiff and throughout Europe inbetween.
The gap in the dates will fuel speculation that she is being lined up to headline next year’s Glastonbury Festival.
She was originally confirmed to headline the Festival back in 2020 – before it was forced to cancel for two consecutive years due to the Covid pandemic.
The Eras Tour kicked off in March this year and Forbes Magazine estimated it would pull in 1.9 billion dollars (£1.5 billion) in ticket sales and merchandise.
Swift will be supported at the gigs by Sabrina Carpenter.
