Taylor Swift Ticket Nightmare
GettyThe Taylor Swift ticket nightmare has left Massachusetts fans - especially moms! - with Bad Blood.
They can't decide if Ticketmaster or Swift herself is the Anti-Hero.
Tickets for the Grammy-winning pop star's Eras tour went on presale this morning at 10 a.m.
Swift is playing Gillette Stadium May 19, 20, and 21, 2023.
But as soon as the clocked turned 10:01, fans experienced Ticketmaster TORTURE.
Something fans know All Too Well.
From DKNation.com:
Ticketmaster’s verified fan presale for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is going about as badly as it possibly could — a crashing website that wouldn’t allow fans to log in, messages saying that accounts weren’t connected to a verified code when they were, and a paused queue that lasted nearly three hours are just some of the struggles that the site is facing today.
I was one of the moms who were desperately trying to get tickets.
Of course, I THOUGHT I was a verified fan. But I guess I wasn't.
(It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me.)
TAYLOR! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!
I signed on as my husband, as me, as a Capital One customer. Then I was waitlisted.
At 10:15, I gave up. A few minutes later,I was angry, frustrated and desperate.
I couldn't Shake it Off.
So, I turned to Facebook.
"ABOUT TO SELL MY SOUL FOR TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS. Anyone else? And these presale offerings are LIES!"
The response was "I am so stressed," wrote Karen, a mom.
"In the same boat, mom of three girls," replied Kelley.
"Prices are outrageous. Plus pay for parking? That right there is GREED," wrote Jan.
Some people got through and were waiting in a queue 2000 people deep.
Others were about the buy tickets...then Ticketmaster crashed.
"I got a presale code, sat in the Ticketmaster queue, go into tickets, nothing would load in my cardand then it crashed and kicked me back into the queue," Stephanie lamented.
Some succeeded. Karen got six tickets for Sunday. Ryan got his. Even BOB'S DAUGHTER GOT THEM.
You can, too. If you want to pay 5 GRAND per ticket. Thanks StubHub!
And the Capitol One presale has also been pushed back until Wednesday at 2 p.m. local venue time for all shows, and Ticketmaster ensured customers that “all codes and links sent via text will still work at that time.”
Cancel that Zoom meeting with your boss!
Here are some reactions on Twitter, because, if you can't get something accomplished, the only thing to do is complain ONLINE!

Revere Woman: Taylor Swift Canceled My Wedding
Ok, we need to shake it off. Sorry I couldn't resist. That's a strange headline: Taylor Swift Canceled My Wedding? Taylor herself is waking up this morning reading this saying: "what the, is this? My tour is cancelling hotel rooms?"
Taylor Controversies
Being an iconic superstar comes with it's challenges. (Trust me, I know) Taylor has had her share of under the microscope challenges. Subsequently, her climate-change activism was challenged when a report surfaced reporting that she is the NUMBER ONE most traveled celebrity using a fuel guzzling private jet.
Taylor Swift Canceled My Wedding
The latest controversy broke today. According to WCVB, this story has become local:
One bride-to-be says her plans have been derailed, after her block of guest rooms at a hotel within walking distance to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough was suddenly canceled, the same day Taylor Swift announced her concert tour dates which included the stadium nearby.
For months, Christina Leonard has been planning her May 2023 wedding to Carmine.
Now, to be fair, technically, this is not Taylor's fault. The local hotel has some explaining to do, and I'm glad that WCVB is reporting this.
So, Taylor Swift is known for doing good things. Maybe she can use her massive influence to right this wrong and ask the hotel to reinstate Christina's hotel RESERVATION.
UPDATE Friday Afternoon (11/4): Christina just messaged us to say that the hotel has given her the rooms back.
Across the country, fans are asking why is Taylor's concert tour conflicting with my wedding date?
