As fans gear up to buy tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras tour, many are worried they won't be able to afford a ticket to sing and dance along with their favorite performer.

And they're not blaming Swift for the high prices. Their vitriol is focused on Ticketmaster, the nation's largest ticket company.
