A writer shares hacks to get last-minute Taylor Swift ‚Eras Tour‘ tickets through Ticketmaster, StubHub, Instagram contests, and Swiftie resale accounts.
Taylor, look what you made me do.
The great war is not just a Taylor Swift song, but what Swifties have been battling ever since tickets for The Eras Tour went on sale. Many fans who were given codes to the verified fan presale on Ticketmaster still weren’t able to snag tickets to the show, which has made the hunt for Eras Tour tickets an almost impossible task. However, you shouldn’t give up just yet. Instead of shaking it off, there are ways to get last-minute Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets. I should know, because I was able to get tickets two days before my show in Las Vegas.
You’ve likely seen influencers who have been to multiple Eras Tour concerts while checking StubHub for resale tickets, and wondering how they are able to afford everything. Right now, many shows have tickets in the last row or restricted views listed for over $500 to $1000. With flights and hotel accommodations in different cities, it looks like fans are likely spending close to $1500 a show. That’s just not possible for budget-friendly Swifties, but there are cheap and even free ways to get tickets. You just have to be willing to work for them.
This may be the more expensive route to secure last-minute Swift tickets, but it is the most accessible. If you’re banking on the idea that tickets will be super cheap the day of the show, don’t! It used to be that you could refresh Ticketmaster or StubHub for resale tickets at a decent price a few hours before the show, but that’s not the case anymore. Now, you’ll see tickets with partial view and in the worst sections that are still overpriced after a concert has started.
It’s a gamble you may not be willing to play. Instead, set a price range for yourself that you’d be willing to spend on tickets. The week before your show, keep refreshing sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, and even Gametime for resale tickets that are in that range. I set a price I was willing to pay before taxes and fees, and finally found one ticket while randomly checking StubHub right before bed. It can happen at any time of the day, so you have to be ready for it.
Also, if you see something you’re willing to buy, just go for it. You don’t want to be wishing you would’ve, could’ve, should’ve bought them once they’re gone.
Swifties have bad blood with Ticketmaster after they poorly handled the presale and canceled the general sale for The Eras Tour. Now, the company is magically finding last-minute tickets to shows the week of and sometimes an hour after a show has started. For anyone who doesn’t mind being glued to their computer and hitting the refresh button nonstop, you may want to keep checking Ticketmaster for these spontaneous drops.
