“8 billion people in the world and every single one of them is ahead of me in the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster queue apparently,” one user wrote.
Ticketmaster has Taylor Swift fans singing “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” on Tuesday as they wait for hours for presale tickets for Swift’s upcoming 2023 Eras Tour, which is set to begin March 18 in Glendale, Arizona, and wrap up on August 5 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Fans all over the nation followed steps prior to Tuesday to be considered “verified fans” in order to get special access codes for purchasing, and on November 15, the presale tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. local venue time.
However, shortly after the start of the sale, an innocent bid for concert tickets turned into an all-out war, as Ticketmaster began experiencing freezes and reported crashes on the website due to “historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to buy tickets for the TaylorSwiftTix Presale,” Ticketmaster wrote in an update on Twitter.
