Affordable tickets snapped up, resold at sky-high prices
Taylor Swift’s decision to release $16 “no-view” tickets for her final Eras Tour shows in Vancouver sparked initial excitement among fans. The seats, positioned behind the stage, offered the chance to hear the live performance without seeing the spectacle. However, fans’ joy quickly turned to outrage as scalpers scooped up the tickets, listing them on resale sites for as much as $2,349.
Fans react with frustration
Swifties took to social media to vent, with one writing, “Scalpers got everything. These tickets are now priced ridiculously.” Others lamented missing out despite queuing online, only to see hundreds of tickets reappear on resale platforms within hours.
Excited fans still cherish the opportunity
Despite the backlash, many fans expressed excitement about attending the show even without a view. “I’d do anything to buy $16 tickets,” one wrote, while another said, “I just want to be there to hear those final surprise songs live.”
Fake tickets leave Canadian family heartbroken
Meanwhile, a family in Ottawa was left devastated after discovering the 28 tickets they purchased for $15,600 USD were fake. The group, which had been eagerly planning their trip for over a year, was forced to cancel their once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Resale policies under scrutiny
Fans have called for stricter regulations to prevent scalpers from exploiting ticket sales. As Swift’s record-breaking tour approaches its conclusion, the debate over fair access to tickets continues to intensify.
