With two separate presale events now finished and the general sale sold out – it’s safe to say many Swifties missed out. And it’s nothing to do with you, we promise! Turns out Ticketek’s waiting lounge didn’t queue fans chronologically.
“Everyone in the Ticketek lounge has an equal opportunity to get into the site regardless of when they have arrived,” Adrian Digiacoma, a representative at Ticketek told PEDESTRIAN.TV.

If you missed out on the final flash sale, there’s still hope! In good news to literally everyone, Ticketek has opened their fan-to-fan resale for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour on Ticketek Marketplace.
The sale, which kicked off at 10 a.m. AEDT on Friday, November 24th, will give Swifties who still haven’t got their hands on tickets the opportunity to purchase verified resale tickets from other fans who have purchased their Eras Tour tickets through Ticketek during the prior general sales and now wish to sell their ticket.

Read our full update about her new music – and listen to the tracks! – here.
During her appearance at the Grammys in February 2024, Taylor surprised everyone, announcing a brand new album titled The Tortured Poets Department, which is set to be released on April 19.
Who is Taylor Swift’s support act?
Joining the pop star, at least for the US leg, will be: Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, beabadoobee, Gracie Abrams, GAYLE and OWENN.
Eras will mark Taylor’s first tour in five years, following her 2018 Reputation concert. That year’s highest-grossing music tour by a female artist saw the Getaway Car songstress joined by Charli XCX, Camila Cabello and more.
In Australia, Taylor will be supported by Sabrina Carpenter.
When was Taylor’s last tour?
Taylor was meant to tour again in 2020 with Loverfest, but her plans were thwarted by COVID-19.
“This is an unprecedented pandemic that has changed everyone’s plans and no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the near future,” she said in 2021.
Since 2018 – and the Reputation tour – Taylor has built her discography substantially, releasing four new albums and two re-releases.
New music includes the albums: Lover, Folklore, Evermore and, most recently, Midnights, while the re-releases include Taylor’s Versions of the old records Fearless and Red.
The re-releases also included a slew of previously unheard ‘From The Vault’ tracks, meaning that the 33-year-old has dropped a total of 90 new songs, not including collaborations with HAIM, Big Red Machine, etc.
