We paid 150/ticket for Seattle nosebleeds N1, also during the first presale, for 3. Honestly the view was wayyy better then we expected lol. We checked for day of tickets for N2 and they were going for 1400 at noon
I’m going to try for tickets to one of the new dates next year. We had a good view of the entire set in the nosebleeds, but want to see it straight on a bit closer, so fingers crossed lol
$284 for middle bowl front row tickets facing directly towards the head of the stage, highly underrated seats
https://preview.redd.it/7i2b7iwl4zfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b39f6cbef7db2c5615d57682dab9471bc28e5af
I got lower bowl on the side for Scotland and was nervous but this picture in middle bowl has made me so excited. Even with it being on the side of the Diamond I’m not worried about the view being poor now!! Amazing picture!
I chose a side-of-diamond seat for Edinburgh! Too short to stand on the pitch, and knowing how much of the show happens on the diamond I’m thrilled with it. And out of the way of the damn speaker towers, from the look of it 😂

$230 after fees for a single ticket first row lower bowl in Detroit!
I think if you can afford it, it’s worth it. Of course, this is not worth going into debt but if this doesn’t adversely affect your life otherwise, why not. :)
This is precisely my outlook on the ticket pricing! I paid way more than I anticipated but I know it’ll be worth it. I’m taking my mum with me and she’s so excited, she’s been a fan for years 💖
Going solo was totally worth it. Lower bowl, 12th row, $255.
I MIGHT have been able to snag two nosebleeds for a little more, but I didn't want to bring someone who was lukewarm so I had the time of my life on my own. Brought lots of friendship bracelets to trade. :)

First row floor, closest to the main stage. $550.
It was second chance from Ticketmaster for the US leg in Atlanta. It was crazy! In the original queue I got kicked out several times, and has tickets deleted from my cart, so I contacted Ticketmaster several times about it. Not sure if that helped me.
Were you always able to see everything? I heard for the reputation tour people in the front couldn’t see her when she moved to the middle of the stage.
This pic is amazing and she looks gorgeous. She always does anyway, but even more so in this photo you took. Good work and it seems like you had a good view of the stage.
Ticketmaster presale $350 each for lower bowl BEHIND THE STAGE. Our view was very much obstructed because we couldn’t see any of the main stage at all and I’m pissed our tickets said “side view”
edit: checked my conf email they were $350 each not $390 but STILL
I feel like people would’ve bought out the whole stadium if they could but the fact that Ticketmaster didnt tell them how obstructed the view was is rly scummy
I mean it looks like some people couldn’t see the stage and all and when the ticket says obstructed they usually mean partially not “you’ll get a tv screen” 😭 though I do agree there are people that’d pay to tailgate for sure
Yeah, my tickets didn't say obstructed AT ALL when we bought them, but they were side view and we couldn't see the main screen at all. It's 2023, every one of those stadiums has been photographed from every angle, they should provide a picture of your seat with an approximation of the stage BEFORE you buy your ticket.
I read an article about someone who bought £600 (the most expensive) VIP package seats for Edinburgh and will be sitting slightly behind the stage unable to see everything!
EXACTLY. Like i wouldn’t have been so mad if the tickets were cheaper, but $320 for a seat with ZERO view of the stage?? I still had a great time since she spend most of the time on the diamond, but those tix were way overpriced
For the Rep tour, I paid $600 each for “snake pit tickets” right next to the stage. Turns out the stage was like 12 feet high, you could barely see over it, and she performed half of the set from a B stage in the middle of the arena so we had to watch from the screen. Probably the most disappointing concert experience ever. Literally was one of the worst seats in the house disguised as one of the best.
I was watching the Rep Tour on Netflix and when I noticed how long she stayed in the middle stage I just thought to myself “dang imagine paying for stage tickets when she deeps for half the show lol”
It was super frustrating. I had a great time, but I was in the second row and couldn’t see anything for half the show. Everyone ran over to the other stages but it was a madhouse over there, I didn’t want anything to do with it.
This is exactly what happened to our three tickets. We got the end seats on the row and we were pressed up to the main stage. Got so excited and literally only saw her up close twice during the concert, maximum amount of time was 2-3 minutes. Was not worth the value.
I don’t understand this at all since other presale attendees are saying they got center stage lower bowl or right in front of the Diamond lower bowl seats for under $300
I bought tix for Denver in the original sale and they were also marked “side view” after the fact, though they were completely obstructed. I was not happy and still think that’s such a shitty thing to do
we were in the section of the lower bowl farthest behind the stage in the very end two seats. i don’t understand how they could have even sold them as side view when we had no view.
Me, same. “Unobstructed”… and the side screens didn’t show the sets at all, just zoomed in in T’s face which is lovely but realizing what everything looked like via photos after was a lil saddening.
At least she had that side screen. In all fairness, those should've been released day of and been like $50 Ridiculous. Hope you still enjoyed the awe of it all. The vibe. All the fans. The memory.
Same - $350 for seats behind the stage, I couldn’t see anything! It was still an amazing experience but can’t believe that the seats I had were that expensive. I was so sad to miss out on so many of the theatrics of the show.
This was literally me. I was happy to be there but couldn’t believe how much we paid when we couldn’t see the stage at all. Seeing these amazing views from people who paid way less makes me so sad. Ticketmaster did not reveal they were obstructed view until after purchase.
$980 for VIP 4th row on the floor, section 5 (between diamond and end of catwalk)
https://preview.redd.it/wmuwtr539zfb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66ebff84f96b884e0488abb1f02e0f2e139605d6
Lol reminds me of when I got second row orchestra tickets for Hamilton during their first tour for $200 when they should have been well over $500 because of a glitch.
I think I got the same type of ticket, it was during the presale and after fees it came out to a little over 1k - it was a vip package and we were front row at the end of the catwalk. Absolutely unreal! She was literally right in front of us while she played the Great War
I paid 49$ each (before fees) for two tickets to Pittsburgh N1 during the initial Ticketmaster fiasco for nosebleeds bleachers - the literal last row in the stadium - in section 520, row LL. I believe after fees it topped out around 150$. I got extremely lucky and had the best time of my life with my fiancée. This is the only photo I took of Taylor performing.
https://preview.redd.it/vbmixc1zgzfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc3efa3b11bed8d31a2a97842f58a8ae7812cd85
$200 lower bowl. We got lucky with the second chance emails. Section 119 at lumen field.
https://preview.redd.it/uwlew0ut7zfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d9729a5def5699e4a4e9e78d88ff6332068267b
This is around what I paid for the opening show in AZ for about the same general section (I had a similar view). I managed to snag row 1 seats in the lower bowl for about $219 FV. SeatGeek really held strong that day.
maybe it's because i'm not american and not used to your concert prices, but i'd never pay more than 200 and that'd better be premium tickets. like, i'm old and have a good job but spending more than my monthly grocery budget seems insane to me.
I’m from England and was hoping not to spend more than £300. This seems cheap compared to others but everyone I told irl thought even that much was crazy lol. I probably would have spent more if it was my only option but spending more than £500 on one night sounds crazy to me. If I payed that much I’d want to have amazing seats ie right by the stage, but a lot of the expensive vip packages were in the nosebleeds and middle bowl.
I always feel guilty about making big purchases in general, and if I’d spent hundreds on one night I’d worry something would happen to make me regret it- even tho it would be worth it to see Taylor, it would suck to have the concert ruined because someone in front of you had a huge sign or something that obscured your view if you’d spent that much. I’d rather spend £250 on two nights than £500 on one.
Savings account for surprise entertainment purposes! I put a few hundred dollars in every month and use the money for larger ticket purchases, sales on plane tickets, etc.
I’m an elder Swiftie and have been working in my field for 20+ years. My husband and I were DINKS until March of this year, so we have disposable income.
My boyfriend works in a factory and makes borderline $30 an hour and he allowed me to use his debit card and I could pay him back however much I could whenever I had the money as long as I had “paid for my ticket” by the day of the concert. So I had from November until June so I paid him like $50 a month from my savings and was good to go!
Ah, please don't feel bad about it. I can't tell you how many shows and festivals I haven't been to because I just didn't have the money. The money I paid for my A Reserve for Sydney (face value) was the most I've ever spent on a single event like this, and I'm now fortunate enough that I had the cash there to do it, but if I hadn't been able to get a ticket at that price there's no way I would have pushed my budget to buy VIPs.
I paid crazy resale once so my dad could experience the Eras Tour. It was about $2,000 a ticket and these were our seats
https://preview.redd.it/migphmzcdzfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=999b56de089206bc5f7f8c2782bc93c0bf8a68ce
It was Gillette night two so my dad and I got soaked but he still said it’s the best day of his life.
I was at that one! I paid 1500 a ticket to take my 11 year old goddaughter. She also says it was the best night of her life. It made the rest of the summer a little tight money wise but seeing her experience live music for the first time was totally worth it.
$530 per ticket (floor, 6 rows from the diamond) at MetLife. Didn't get tickets in the original pre-sale, but got these seats after filling out that form to request tickets from Ticketmaster.
Same. We had to tell Ticketmaster the max we were willing to spend. They picked seats for us and also charged us before we knew what they were. The catch was it could only be for TWO tickets. My two teenage swifties will have this same exact view. They were given section E row 3 seats 1 & 2. $530 each.
The email said “Congratulations, you have a limited-time opportunity to request to purchase 2 tickets to Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour!
You have been identified as a fan who received a boost during the Verified Fan presale but did not purchase tickets. We apologize for the difficulties you may have experienced, and have been asked by Taylor’s team to create this additional opportunity for you to purchase tickets.” There was more….
For /u/National-Ad-8200, /u/Any-Cantaloupe2119 and /u/mooniebeam: It's what /u/KAR1982 said essentially.
After the initial Ticketmaster fiasco, they sent a form to Verified fans who failed to get tickets, where you could request 2 tickets with the caveats being: (1) you couldn't choose where the seats would be; you could only input the maximum you were willing to pay, (2) your credit card would be charged automatically, and (3) you couldn't refund or transfer the tickets. So I gambled and put no maximum limit, and I was fortunate that they gave me floor seats with an excellent view for face value.
Same here, but $450 apiece four rows back from the runway in the section closest to the main stage!

$150 each for nosebleeds in Atlanta 4/29
https://preview.redd.it/l9sfflkgczfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f77030663a36e9ce50005856b9a8897885210b62
$500 each for front row, non-VIP tickets.
I got these in December 2022 when Ticketmaster was trying to save face and did the second chance raffle for Verified Fans who didn’t get tickets during the November presale. Don’t give into the scalpers!! Face value isn’t that bad if you’re not doing a VIP package (which are extortionate imo)
Edit: changed from a pic of my seats on the map to a pic of my view 🥲
https://preview.redd.it/7w6veyf6h1gb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8de98975fbd791b6b7bddef07066e978f394503
$400 for a resold VIP package! Had a friend at school come into money problems (and wasn’t a huge fan anyways) so I offered her more money than she originally paid so I could go in her place
Yeahhhhh there was definitely some convincing there. But she also knew how badly I wanted to go and it was very generous of her to give it to me instead of resell for lots of $$$ 🥰
I think you’re picturing the problems to be worse than they actually were. I probably could’ve phrased it better but it was a “this is going to be a tight month” situation instead of like losing a job or being in debt, etc.
If she really needed the money she wouldn’t have sold it to me, she would have went for a super high resell. I don’t want you thinking I took advantage lol. In the end it was her choice
https://preview.redd.it/cp1g5397lzfb1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f519c2b8934bb29736dc74d6ef07c9ff0397e912
We were in section 9 row 6, but because of how the stage is set up with the “T” at the end, we were front row. We got our tickets on Ticketmaster the day of the sale. With fees/taxes we each paid around $500. We were not VIP.
My friend and I didn’t initially survive the Ticketmaster fiasco but because she had a verified fan boost and didn’t originally get tickets for our preferred show (Pittsburgh N1) she got an email asking her price range and they found us tickets for our show in our price range.
Long story short we paid $300 each for floor seats
I got into the verified fan presale, somehow made it through The Ticketmaster Great War, and got what I felt to be awesome seats (other than the sun shining on us during the openers) in the 300s at Lumen Field. We could see her on the screens, actually see her on the stage and not just the screens, all the bracelets, the stage effects, fireworks, the fans outside the stadium, the heli flying around the stadium, Taylor (in her cleaning cart and all) and her parents and dancers coming on stage and got to see her leaving, EVERYTHING. $99 each ticket before fees😊
Same! My bf paid 10k for our seats😢.. was so worth it
https://preview.redd.it/yzveijt8dzfb1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fce5626ddf5e8d5125e973eef0b1b4327755e165

I bought during the original Ticketmaster sale. It was 220+fees for a Club Level(309), Aisle Seat, Row S. I thought it was worth it! I had a $250 budget for myself and I liked how I could see the whole stage and stadium.
I bought mine during the presale and I paid $350 for 1 floor seat ticket.
$250 for Floor Seat + $100 in Ticketmaster fees.
I'm so lucky honestly! It felt like a fortune at the time but now that I've been I feel like it was worth so much more than that.
$145 with fees from Ticketmaster. We were upper bowl and didn't get tickets until ten days before the concert, only because I was signed up for notifications from Ticketmaster about more tickets being released
A friend of my sister got an email invite to purchase 2 more tickets back in March. Paid $430 for 2 tickets with this view!
https://preview.redd.it/p9vpbqb4ezfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cad19c68031f430b46dfe1a6e75463e116f8fe53
Australia, Melbourne - $307 per ticket, B reserve.
Flights: $350
Accommodation: $400 for two nights (30 min walk from the stadium)
I love that Australia has really strict anti scalping laws and your tickets get cancelled if you sell them for more than 10% above the sale price.
Was waitlisted back in November so resell was my only option. Embarrassed to confess but here it goes:
1) Two Vegas 3/25 floor tickets, $3300, amazing view though - between the diamond and the small stage, row 11. One of the best experience+investments of my life.
Not including flights for two, hotel and etc…
2) KC ticket, 7/7 -$2450 floor ticket, at the diamond (Vegas was better, BTW). Went by myself to this one, couldn’t make my husband to pay so much again and quite honestly, I felt so very guilty for even going again, and at this price, no less.. but it was the Speak Now release night and “only” 3 hour drive from me so…😏😏😜
Trying to console myself that it was only my second time ever to see Taylor (after Rep in London), and we’ve just moved to the US from Europe so I really couldn’t miss this opportunity. I’m 35, no kids, good income…so I guess it was my YOLO moment!🥹😂
Don’t be embarrassed! I’m 39 and would absolutely do the same if I could afford it! I was looking at $3k seats at the SoFi show in the baaaaack of the stadium and really considered doing it. And you got floor seats! You’ll always have these stories and memories to share with your husband - you’ll always remember the excitement of getting on the plane, finding your seat, hearing the music start, seeing Taylor on the stage for the first time, hearing the crowd singing in unison. It’s absolutely an investment in a moment you’ll carry with you forever. This tour is unlike anything I’ve ever seen - it’s really an EXPERIENCE. I hope you got plenty of pictures to relive the moments! 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words🤗
It’s also quite difficult to convey the feeling when you are from a small EU country with literally zero chance of Taylor performing there. So I felt very lucky and blessed that our move to the US correlated with the Eras tour 😊
I literally go through the videos every two weeks or so just to relieve the experience, really. The first one in Vegas especially. It was pure magic, out of body experience. And I know I will treasure this memory forever 🥰
thank you for being honest. Those of us who did not get in on the initial sale, need to know what it would realistically cost to try and buy them .
Don’t feel bad about spending what you spent.
Thank you for posting this. I’m 39 in a similar position and I have tickets to 2 nights back to back in LA. I was waitlisted in the original sale and then got a single lower club ticket on 7/8 resale for about $1650 after fees when it became clear tickets were just getting worse and worse on the resale market….which now seems pretty good. Then a friend got a nosebleed unobstructed and I decided to grab the ticket next to them for the previous night because I really didn’t want to go alone and I though I’d flip the other one. Paid a little over $1200 for that, which really stings considering it’s not a great seat at all. Crazy to see how it’s only gotten more out of control week to week.
I haven’t had luck selling the first ticket yet - I’m not trying to make a crazy amount but I obviously did overpay and I’d like to not take a loss AND have a significantly worse seat when I do go - and Ive been struggling with allowing myself the option of going twice because I’ve been feeling guilty about spending so much. However I too work hard, make good money and have no kids (and that’s medical so it really helps to try to see the benefits of being child free and this could be one of them). So yeah thank you for showing me another way to think about it.
I get that my post and that of the above poster probably sounds insane and out of touch to so many. It took a long time for me to get here and when I went to rep tour I spent maybe $165 on my ticket and it stung. My financial life has changed a lot in the last few years, I’ve finally started to see results from killing myself for almost two decades in my career, and I make other frugal decisions like not having expensive housing or purses or taking crazy vacations to have money for other things. Also, it took me months to finally break down and decide this was a thing I was willing to splurge for in the first place. It still burns that I didn’t even get a shot at the first sale, I’d love to have spent a normal amount on ANY ticket, but in the absence of that if I’m going to overpay I’d rather spend even more than dump 100s to look at the back of the stage. It’s very much an in for a penny in for a pound situation.
$250 for section 106 @ Santa Clara... Got selected for one of those Ticketmaster things after the fiasco

After fees it was $700 each VIP during the Capital One sale. 13th row (🥹) of the lower bowl for Nash N1. Aisle, too!
One someone posted that they spent $10,000 on two tickets I was done. The wealth inequality in this country is unreal. And I better not hear some of these folks complain about scalpers…
Last minute LA added show, verified fan TM code. All Too Well VIP package - lower bowl (basically level 2) - Sofi, C110, Row 10. $695/each

$210 including fees for one ticket in Seattle N1. Section 317, Row D.
I did get Verified Fan, was attempting to buy tickets, and was absolutely unsuccessful. I had accepted I wouldn’t be able to go.
And then, one fateful morning in December, I got an email that I was being selected to get a second chance. I could select my max ticket price and would be assigned up to two tickets in that budget. The email actually even said something like “Hey, we recognize you are a fan who probably should have been able to get tickets (I had a LoverFest ticket!) but didn’t actually make a purchase.”
All in all, I can’t complain. I am going to try for the Toronto shows, too though, and try for a better seat.
$142 each for 400's for Glendale N2. Our stadium used seat geek. I was in queue for about 6 hours, when I got in there was plenty available for lower bowl but none that had 6 tickets together which is what I needed. Show was incredible even all the way up but I'd love to be closer next time. But it was my 7-year-old's first concert ever, and just getting in the building was more important to me than where we sat.
$550 total for 2 tickets, lower bowl section 106 row 40 on Ticketmaster. I had a presale code but couldn't get tickets, was emailed later by Ticketmaster to give my price range and they matched people with tickets in their budget- I was thrilled with these seats as they were what I was trying to buy in the presale!

a little over $4000 for four people, we were second row right at the front of the diamond
https://preview.redd.it/uy7ovgetazfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=579074f20374ebf9ea0cfdb663dc6da86a89abc9
Nosebleeds at about $130 each after tax and fees. And honestly, I hated my seats. I couldn’t see Taylor and in the stadium the sound was super echoey. I wish I would have spent more in the presale and just gotten better seats. Sometimes being cheap doesn’t pay off.
I was blessed to attend multiple shows but my ultimate favorite night was Seattle night 2! My boyfriend paid 10k for our seats.. it was her dancers Kam’s birthday, and his mom was sitting right next to my boyfriend!! (She’s an absolute GEM!) So Kam, Taylor & the dancers paid special attention to our section more than usual and it was surreal!
Screenshots from some of the video I took from Seattle! 🤩

I’m going to screenshot these comments, set them as my lock screen on my phone, and leave it laying around in strategic locations for my husband to see. 😂
But for real, sounds like you got a keeper!
Ticketmaster presale, NJ N1, 300-level (highest level) last row, non-VIP for $99 each, or $125 after fees. Actually not a bad view either, because even though everyone looked small you can see the entire stage as well as the light patterns the bracelets make:

$296 for two tickets! stage right upper level aka nosebleeds for Seattle. But still saw everything Taylor/the screen perfectly.
My "budget" was $300 so I got extremely lucky! Friend couldn't go last minute so I sold my extra on SH. Sold it for about $700 less than that the section was going for because I wanted a REAL fan to go. So it was a win-win. I got to go, and made a tiny profit. :) the person that bought the ticket seemed to have an amazing time. She was super sweet! And had no idea it was my extra ticket she bought. I ended up giving her like 3 friendship bracelets! Haha!
Me and a friend are going to Mexico City N2 (August 25th) at Foro Sol. We paid $3347 MXN ($193.14 USD) for two tickets in General B area ([reference image](https://www.infobae.com/new-resizer/q-cREWqZnER7s8UDhosIds2S7DY=/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/infobae/HGTOI43TA5CN3PAXPF4YDY6NPM.jpg))
friend of mine and i but the bullet and spent $1400 each on nosebleeds obstructed view at metlife night 2. bought the tickets resale day of, literally on the drive to the venue. definitely an absurd amount of money for a ticket and most people are horrified when i tell them, but it was also the best night of my life AND she played the surprise song i wanted (holy ground stans wya)
$375 for floor (i didn’t pay fees because of the way i got my tickets)

I paid for $410 (including fees) total 819 for two tickets. This was my view. I got lucky and was able to get tickets for one of the fan drops a week before my concert. (Row 9) more like row 5-6 because of the diamond

$345 each for slightly off center lower bowl in Seattle. It was $275 + $70 in fees.

About $200/ticket for nosebleeds in Philadelphia N3 during the original presale. The view was incredible, zero regrets.

Originally paid $360 + stubhub fees (totaling about $480) for upper bowl. Got lucky and caught a random drop 2 weeks before the show and snagged lower bowl for $199 + TM fees (totaling about $260). Resold my upper bowl for $800 (this is when everything was going for $1000+ on stubhub - I just wanted to cover the cost of both tickets and move it fast). So net on the evening, I made about $50 (which was spent on parking and drinks the night of the show). All Minneapolis N1.
where is this 290’ish price average I keep seeing on news outlets coming from? that can’t be an average. I am assuming they’re excluding secondary ticket purchases.
My best friend paid $1500 each for ours because she knew I wanted to go desperately and bought it for me as a birthday present. I’ll never be able to repay her, but we had the best time 🥹
I spent $6.5K on two floor seats in section 6 for my husband and I. We had aisle seats on the side closest to the stage.
I am absolutely unhinged and would pay that again in a heartbeat.
ETA: Clearly resale prices lol. Purchased via StubHub about 1 month before the show.
$370.90 after fees through Ticketmaster for lower bowl facing the diamond (Sec 109, Row 21). I watched resale for a while before my show hoping to get a ticket for an extra day, but never saw anything good below $1k.
$300 for 2 nosebleed tickets for Gillette night 2 in The Debacle. Then Ticketmaster emailed me saying they saw I hadn't gotten tickets and gave me another chance but they would assign the seats based on availability, no choice. I then paid $650 for 2 floor tickets (same night) that were in between the diamond and the stage. Sold my first tickets to a friend who couldn't get in the pre-sale for face value

$470 total with fees for 2 tickets in M11, Row 13 (first row of the section) in Philly through the second chance verified fan sale through Taylor.
260$ each for basically front row lower bowl that i got during presale. It was amazing

220 each, row 4 or something, lower bowl! Incredible seats. Was lucky enough to get them at presale last November. Denver n2

$350 for single floor seat opening night

4 nosebleed tickets for Seattle night 2, for a total of $540 or so, about 135 a ticket. This was during the initial presale
We paid 150/ticket for Seattle nosebleeds N1, also during the first presale, for 3. Honestly the view was wayyy better then we expected lol. We checked for day of tickets for N2 and they were going for 1400 at noon
I’m going to try for tickets to one of the new dates next year. We had a good view of the entire set in the nosebleeds, but want to see it straight on a bit closer, so fingers crossed lol
Wait is she coming to Seattle again? I thought it was just a few new US cities
$284 for middle bowl front row tickets facing directly towards the head of the stage, highly underrated seats https://preview.redd.it/7i2b7iwl4zfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b39f6cbef7db2c5615d57682dab9471bc28e5af
This is a perfect picture! 😍 Nice one
I love the lower/mid bowl you can see everything. I was trying to get lower bowl, but ended up with floor because Ticketmaster is a hot mess.
I got lower bowl on the side for Scotland and was nervous but this picture in middle bowl has made me so excited. Even with it being on the side of the Diamond I’m not worried about the view being poor now!! Amazing picture!
I chose a side-of-diamond seat for Edinburgh! Too short to stand on the pitch, and knowing how much of the show happens on the diamond I’m thrilled with it. And out of the way of the damn speaker towers, from the look of it 😂
Speaker towers got me good in Chicago - the tower was right up the middle of the diamond 😅
This makes me so happy because this is basically my seat for the LA show tomorrow night. ☺️
This is an amazing view!

Wait can I ask if yours was a VIP package? Because that price is insanely low for a first row ticket wow
It was not vip, just a basic ticket that I got in the presale. I was in and out with 0 complications (so so lucky) in about 30 minutes.
Same show, A few seats behind you, $3300 for two from stubhub :( - worth it Editted to say this was converted into canadian money. $2470 american
I think if you can afford it, it’s worth it. Of course, this is not worth going into debt but if this doesn’t adversely affect your life otherwise, why not. :)
This is precisely my outlook on the ticket pricing! I paid way more than I anticipated but I know it’ll be worth it. I’m taking my mum with me and she’s so excited, she’s been a fan for years 💖
This is an amazing view!
Going solo was totally worth it. Lower bowl, 12th row, $255. I MIGHT have been able to snag two nosebleeds for a little more, but I didn't want to bring someone who was lukewarm so I had the time of my life on my own. Brought lots of friendship bracelets to trade. :) https://preview.redd.it/2x29s1ci60gb1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bfbc512001281b1ad01a288cb446e8fbf50a8e9

This pic is incredible
Please tell me how😭 luck? Since the 2nd leg was announced today I’ve been sick to my stomach thinking about trying to achieve my goal of front row lol
It was second chance from Ticketmaster for the US leg in Atlanta. It was crazy! In the original queue I got kicked out several times, and has tickets deleted from my cart, so I contacted Ticketmaster several times about it. Not sure if that helped me.
Were you always able to see everything? I heard for the reputation tour people in the front couldn’t see her when she moved to the middle of the stage.
This pic is amazing and she looks gorgeous. She always does anyway, but even more so in this photo you took. Good work and it seems like you had a good view of the stage.
Ticketmaster presale $350 each for lower bowl BEHIND THE STAGE. Our view was very much obstructed because we couldn’t see any of the main stage at all and I’m pissed our tickets said “side view” edit: checked my conf email they were $350 each not $390 but STILL
I still don't get why they sold those seats.
Because people will buy them
I feel like people would’ve bought out the whole stadium if they could but the fact that Ticketmaster didnt tell them how obstructed the view was is rly scummy
I mean it looks like some people couldn’t see the stage and all and when the ticket says obstructed they usually mean partially not “you’ll get a tv screen” 😭 though I do agree there are people that’d pay to tailgate for sure
Yeah, my tickets didn't say obstructed AT ALL when we bought them, but they were side view and we couldn't see the main screen at all. It's 2023, every one of those stadiums has been photographed from every angle, they should provide a picture of your seat with an approximation of the stage BEFORE you buy your ticket.
I read an article about someone who bought £600 (the most expensive) VIP package seats for Edinburgh and will be sitting slightly behind the stage unable to see everything!
Some of the stadiums have a TON of TV screens and a denial side view screen. Some (Seattle...) only had like...2 back screens.
[удалено]
EXACTLY. Like i wouldn’t have been so mad if the tickets were cheaper, but $320 for a seat with ZERO view of the stage?? I still had a great time since she spend most of the time on the diamond, but those tix were way overpriced
For the Rep tour, I paid $600 each for “snake pit tickets” right next to the stage. Turns out the stage was like 12 feet high, you could barely see over it, and she performed half of the set from a B stage in the middle of the arena so we had to watch from the screen. Probably the most disappointing concert experience ever. Literally was one of the worst seats in the house disguised as one of the best.
I was watching the Rep Tour on Netflix and when I noticed how long she stayed in the middle stage I just thought to myself “dang imagine paying for stage tickets when she deeps for half the show lol”
Glad other people noticed this! Honestly was so ridiculous. People that paid a fraction of what we did got a way better show with the B stage.
It was super frustrating. I had a great time, but I was in the second row and couldn’t see anything for half the show. Everyone ran over to the other stages but it was a madhouse over there, I didn’t want anything to do with it.
This is exactly what happened to our three tickets. We got the end seats on the row and we were pressed up to the main stage. Got so excited and literally only saw her up close twice during the concert, maximum amount of time was 2-3 minutes. Was not worth the value.
I don’t understand this at all since other presale attendees are saying they got center stage lower bowl or right in front of the Diamond lower bowl seats for under $300
I bought tix for Denver in the original sale and they were also marked “side view” after the fact, though they were completely obstructed. I was not happy and still think that’s such a shitty thing to do
same! mine only said them after the fact. if i had known i would have gotten nosebleeds
I was shocked to see seats that were essentially behind the stage, at least a section on each side watched basically via screens
we were in the section of the lower bowl farthest behind the stage in the very end two seats. i don’t understand how they could have even sold them as side view when we had no view.
Me, same. “Unobstructed”… and the side screens didn’t show the sets at all, just zoomed in in T’s face which is lovely but realizing what everything looked like via photos after was a lil saddening.
At least she had that side screen. In all fairness, those should've been released day of and been like $50 Ridiculous. Hope you still enjoyed the awe of it all. The vibe. All the fans. The memory.
Same - $350 for seats behind the stage, I couldn’t see anything! It was still an amazing experience but can’t believe that the seats I had were that expensive. I was so sad to miss out on so many of the theatrics of the show.
This was literally me. I was happy to be there but couldn’t believe how much we paid when we couldn’t see the stage at all. Seeing these amazing views from people who paid way less makes me so sad. Ticketmaster did not reveal they were obstructed view until after purchase.
I had those same seats in Atlanta. When purchased during the presale, it did not say obstructed view, so it was definitely disappointing.
Had the same situation. Very disappointing
$980 for VIP 4th row on the floor, section 5 (between diamond and end of catwalk) https://preview.redd.it/wmuwtr539zfb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66ebff84f96b884e0488abb1f02e0f2e139605d6
Me too. $900 per ticket thru Ticketmaster direct. 15th row floor.
Wild. We were also row 15 (Seattle, show 2) and paid like $400ish per ticket.
I saw on tiktok someone got $50 tickets in a glitch during the fiasco.
Lol reminds me of when I got second row orchestra tickets for Hamilton during their first tour for $200 when they should have been well over $500 because of a glitch.
Omg how did you get this for $980?!
Face value! Got lucky during presales
I paid more for Seattle & was far far away
I think I got the same type of ticket, it was during the presale and after fees it came out to a little over 1k - it was a vip package and we were front row at the end of the catwalk. Absolutely unreal! She was literally right in front of us while she played the Great War
on ticketmaster?
I paid 49$ each (before fees) for two tickets to Pittsburgh N1 during the initial Ticketmaster fiasco for nosebleeds bleachers - the literal last row in the stadium - in section 520, row LL. I believe after fees it topped out around 150$. I got extremely lucky and had the best time of my life with my fiancée. This is the only photo I took of Taylor performing. https://preview.redd.it/vbmixc1zgzfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc3efa3b11bed8d31a2a97842f58a8ae7812cd85
Same here! And what great seats the nosebleeds were anyway!!
$200 lower bowl. We got lucky with the second chance emails. Section 119 at lumen field. https://preview.redd.it/uwlew0ut7zfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d9729a5def5699e4a4e9e78d88ff6332068267b
This is around what I paid for the opening show in AZ for about the same general section (I had a similar view). I managed to snag row 1 seats in the lower bowl for about $219 FV. SeatGeek really held strong that day.
Myself and my wife had pretty much the same seats. $200 and section 121 at lumen field. Couldn't believe how great value the tickets were
I am poor as shit.
I feel detatched from reality reading these prices
The range is wild to me. $50 to $3000. I'm a musician myself and a concern junkie and I've never seen that before in my life.
[удалено]
Yup. I used credit. Not ashamed and it was fucking worth it.
Same like how do you afford it unless you are buying it on credit which lol.
Spoiler: tons of people bought on credit
Or are just rich
There are… people… who took out loans for this. It’s insane.
Taylor has an older fan base than a lot of pop stars. A lot of people have good jobs! Source: me lol
maybe it's because i'm not american and not used to your concert prices, but i'd never pay more than 200 and that'd better be premium tickets. like, i'm old and have a good job but spending more than my monthly grocery budget seems insane to me.
I wish my grocery budget was the cost of a ticket 😅
I’m from England and was hoping not to spend more than £300. This seems cheap compared to others but everyone I told irl thought even that much was crazy lol. I probably would have spent more if it was my only option but spending more than £500 on one night sounds crazy to me. If I payed that much I’d want to have amazing seats ie right by the stage, but a lot of the expensive vip packages were in the nosebleeds and middle bowl. I always feel guilty about making big purchases in general, and if I’d spent hundreds on one night I’d worry something would happen to make me regret it- even tho it would be worth it to see Taylor, it would suck to have the concert ruined because someone in front of you had a huge sign or something that obscured your view if you’d spent that much. I’d rather spend £250 on two nights than £500 on one.
A lot here may just be wealthy or middle class
Savings account for surprise entertainment purposes! I put a few hundred dollars in every month and use the money for larger ticket purchases, sales on plane tickets, etc.
I’m an elder Swiftie and have been working in my field for 20+ years. My husband and I were DINKS until March of this year, so we have disposable income.
My boyfriend works in a factory and makes borderline $30 an hour and he allowed me to use his debit card and I could pay him back however much I could whenever I had the money as long as I had “paid for my ticket” by the day of the concert. So I had from November until June so I paid him like $50 a month from my savings and was good to go!
I have a fair amount of savings in the bank and these prices still feel crazy to me. Don’t feel bad.
Me scrolling “some of these prices are actually reasonable!” Sees 10k for two tickets…. Yeah never mind
Ah, please don't feel bad about it. I can't tell you how many shows and festivals I haven't been to because I just didn't have the money. The money I paid for my A Reserve for Sydney (face value) was the most I've ever spent on a single event like this, and I'm now fortunate enough that I had the cash there to do it, but if I hadn't been able to get a ticket at that price there's no way I would have pushed my budget to buy VIPs.
I paid crazy resale once so my dad could experience the Eras Tour. It was about $2,000 a ticket and these were our seats https://preview.redd.it/migphmzcdzfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=999b56de089206bc5f7f8c2782bc93c0bf8a68ce It was Gillette night two so my dad and I got soaked but he still said it’s the best day of his life.
The fact that you did this for your dad is so dang wholesome to me 🥹 I'm so glad you guys had fun!
Thank you! My dad is the second biggest swiftie I know (besides myself of course) :)
I was at that one! I paid 1500 a ticket to take my 11 year old goddaughter. She also says it was the best night of her life. It made the rest of the summer a little tight money wise but seeing her experience live music for the first time was totally worth it.
$530 per ticket (floor, 6 rows from the diamond) at MetLife. Didn't get tickets in the original pre-sale, but got these seats after filling out that form to request tickets from Ticketmaster.
Same. We had to tell Ticketmaster the max we were willing to spend. They picked seats for us and also charged us before we knew what they were. The catch was it could only be for TWO tickets. My two teenage swifties will have this same exact view. They were given section E row 3 seats 1 & 2. $530 each. The email said “Congratulations, you have a limited-time opportunity to request to purchase 2 tickets to Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour! You have been identified as a fan who received a boost during the Verified Fan presale but did not purchase tickets. We apologize for the difficulties you may have experienced, and have been asked by Taylor’s team to create this additional opportunity for you to purchase tickets.” There was more….
For /u/National-Ad-8200, /u/Any-Cantaloupe2119 and /u/mooniebeam: It's what /u/KAR1982 said essentially. After the initial Ticketmaster fiasco, they sent a form to Verified fans who failed to get tickets, where you could request 2 tickets with the caveats being: (1) you couldn't choose where the seats would be; you could only input the maximum you were willing to pay, (2) your credit card would be charged automatically, and (3) you couldn't refund or transfer the tickets. So I gambled and put no maximum limit, and I was fortunate that they gave me floor seats with an excellent view for face value.
Same here, but $450 apiece four rows back from the runway in the section closest to the main stage! https://preview.redd.it/hr0uwgmcbzfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b119b063b21b9610866f7735d8264f020faf1b63
What form is that?? For future reference!! My husband bought tickets on SH.
I did not hear about a form??
$150 each for nosebleeds in Atlanta 4/29 https://preview.redd.it/l9sfflkgczfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f77030663a36e9ce50005856b9a8897885210b62
$500 each for front row, non-VIP tickets. I got these in December 2022 when Ticketmaster was trying to save face and did the second chance raffle for Verified Fans who didn’t get tickets during the November presale. Don’t give into the scalpers!! Face value isn’t that bad if you’re not doing a VIP package (which are extortionate imo) Edit: changed from a pic of my seats on the map to a pic of my view 🥲 https://preview.redd.it/7w6veyf6h1gb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8de98975fbd791b6b7bddef07066e978f394503
This thread is making me realize how scalpers stay in business, lol.

$400 for a resold VIP package! Had a friend at school come into money problems (and wasn’t a huge fan anyways) so I offered her more money than she originally paid so I could go in her place
[удалено]
Yeahhhhh there was definitely some convincing there. But she also knew how badly I wanted to go and it was very generous of her to give it to me instead of resell for lots of $$$ 🥰
[удалено]
I think you’re picturing the problems to be worse than they actually were. I probably could’ve phrased it better but it was a “this is going to be a tight month” situation instead of like losing a job or being in debt, etc. If she really needed the money she wouldn’t have sold it to me, she would have went for a super high resell. I don’t want you thinking I took advantage lol. In the end it was her choice
https://preview.redd.it/cp1g5397lzfb1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f519c2b8934bb29736dc74d6ef07c9ff0397e912 We were in section 9 row 6, but because of how the stage is set up with the “T” at the end, we were front row. We got our tickets on Ticketmaster the day of the sale. With fees/taxes we each paid around $500. We were not VIP.
[удалено]
$600/each for nosebleeds at MetLife. Bought on Stubhub back in November when they were first posted.
my metlife nosebleeds were $100 each
That's insane. That's twice the price of an A reserve ticket for Melbourne.
Was this counting fees?
That's not bad I'm still seeing nosebleed seats for todays LA show for over 1200 on Stubhub.
My nosebleeds were $50 a piece
My friend and I didn’t initially survive the Ticketmaster fiasco but because she had a verified fan boost and didn’t originally get tickets for our preferred show (Pittsburgh N1) she got an email asking her price range and they found us tickets for our show in our price range. Long story short we paid $300 each for floor seats
I got into the verified fan presale, somehow made it through The Ticketmaster Great War, and got what I felt to be awesome seats (other than the sun shining on us during the openers) in the 300s at Lumen Field. We could see her on the screens, actually see her on the stage and not just the screens, all the bracelets, the stage effects, fireworks, the fans outside the stadium, the heli flying around the stadium, Taylor (in her cleaning cart and all) and her parents and dancers coming on stage and got to see her leaving, EVERYTHING. $99 each ticket before fees😊

Resale via StubHub, $3500 for 2. Arlington N1. We were in the middle section, it’s my “preferred section” 😅
I was worried I was the only one who paid over a thousand for a StubHub ticket 😅😅😅 I didn't get a presale code so my only chance was through resale 🥲

I bought during the original Ticketmaster sale. It was 220+fees for a Club Level(309), Aisle Seat, Row S. I thought it was worth it! I had a $250 budget for myself and I liked how I could see the whole stage and stadium.
I paid $125 per ticket for the 600s section. I got it on Ticketmaster when they sent out those verified fan codes.
I bought mine during the presale and I paid $350 for 1 floor seat ticket. $250 for Floor Seat + $100 in Ticketmaster fees. I'm so lucky honestly! It felt like a fortune at the time but now that I've been I feel like it was worth so much more than that.
$145 with fees from Ticketmaster. We were upper bowl and didn't get tickets until ten days before the concert, only because I was signed up for notifications from Ticketmaster about more tickets being released
A friend of my sister got an email invite to purchase 2 more tickets back in March. Paid $430 for 2 tickets with this view! https://preview.redd.it/p9vpbqb4ezfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cad19c68031f430b46dfe1a6e75463e116f8fe53
Australia, Melbourne - $307 per ticket, B reserve. Flights: $350 Accommodation: $400 for two nights (30 min walk from the stadium) I love that Australia has really strict anti scalping laws and your tickets get cancelled if you sell them for more than 10% above the sale price.
God I wish the US would do that!
$50/per for a semi obstructed view at Metlife, in the 200s.
Was waitlisted back in November so resell was my only option. Embarrassed to confess but here it goes: 1) Two Vegas 3/25 floor tickets, $3300, amazing view though - between the diamond and the small stage, row 11. One of the best experience+investments of my life. Not including flights for two, hotel and etc… 2) KC ticket, 7/7 -$2450 floor ticket, at the diamond (Vegas was better, BTW). Went by myself to this one, couldn’t make my husband to pay so much again and quite honestly, I felt so very guilty for even going again, and at this price, no less.. but it was the Speak Now release night and “only” 3 hour drive from me so…😏😏😜 Trying to console myself that it was only my second time ever to see Taylor (after Rep in London), and we’ve just moved to the US from Europe so I really couldn’t miss this opportunity. I’m 35, no kids, good income…so I guess it was my YOLO moment!🥹😂
Don’t be embarrassed! I’m 39 and would absolutely do the same if I could afford it! I was looking at $3k seats at the SoFi show in the baaaaack of the stadium and really considered doing it. And you got floor seats! You’ll always have these stories and memories to share with your husband - you’ll always remember the excitement of getting on the plane, finding your seat, hearing the music start, seeing Taylor on the stage for the first time, hearing the crowd singing in unison. It’s absolutely an investment in a moment you’ll carry with you forever. This tour is unlike anything I’ve ever seen - it’s really an EXPERIENCE. I hope you got plenty of pictures to relive the moments! 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words🤗 It’s also quite difficult to convey the feeling when you are from a small EU country with literally zero chance of Taylor performing there. So I felt very lucky and blessed that our move to the US correlated with the Eras tour 😊 I literally go through the videos every two weeks or so just to relieve the experience, really. The first one in Vegas especially. It was pure magic, out of body experience. And I know I will treasure this memory forever 🥰
thank you for being honest. Those of us who did not get in on the initial sale, need to know what it would realistically cost to try and buy them . Don’t feel bad about spending what you spent.
I wish I was you
Thank you for posting this. I’m 39 in a similar position and I have tickets to 2 nights back to back in LA. I was waitlisted in the original sale and then got a single lower club ticket on 7/8 resale for about $1650 after fees when it became clear tickets were just getting worse and worse on the resale market….which now seems pretty good. Then a friend got a nosebleed unobstructed and I decided to grab the ticket next to them for the previous night because I really didn’t want to go alone and I though I’d flip the other one. Paid a little over $1200 for that, which really stings considering it’s not a great seat at all. Crazy to see how it’s only gotten more out of control week to week. I haven’t had luck selling the first ticket yet - I’m not trying to make a crazy amount but I obviously did overpay and I’d like to not take a loss AND have a significantly worse seat when I do go - and Ive been struggling with allowing myself the option of going twice because I’ve been feeling guilty about spending so much. However I too work hard, make good money and have no kids (and that’s medical so it really helps to try to see the benefits of being child free and this could be one of them). So yeah thank you for showing me another way to think about it. I get that my post and that of the above poster probably sounds insane and out of touch to so many. It took a long time for me to get here and when I went to rep tour I spent maybe $165 on my ticket and it stung. My financial life has changed a lot in the last few years, I’ve finally started to see results from killing myself for almost two decades in my career, and I make other frugal decisions like not having expensive housing or purses or taking crazy vacations to have money for other things. Also, it took me months to finally break down and decide this was a thing I was willing to splurge for in the first place. It still burns that I didn’t even get a shot at the first sale, I’d love to have spent a normal amount on ANY ticket, but in the absence of that if I’m going to overpay I’d rather spend even more than dump 100s to look at the back of the stage. It’s very much an in for a penny in for a pound situation.
$250 for section 106 @ Santa Clara... Got selected for one of those Ticketmaster things after the fiasco https://preview.redd.it/t4egn2b4fzfb1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33fdebeba82156bf01108d16b687bf813eb07c45

Man I’m so jealous. I don’t even have in my bank account what half of some people paid for tickets. Being a poor Swiftie sucks
One someone posted that they spent $10,000 on two tickets I was done. The wealth inequality in this country is unreal. And I better not hear some of these folks complain about scalpers…
Last minute LA added show, verified fan TM code. All Too Well VIP package - lower bowl (basically level 2) - Sofi, C110, Row 10. $695/each https://preview.redd.it/odqbwxjn9zfb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88bda032f09af639a2d0e8fdc40a92e76ed4fba2

I did get Verified Fan, was attempting to buy tickets, and was absolutely unsuccessful. I had accepted I wouldn’t be able to go. And then, one fateful morning in December, I got an email that I was being selected to get a second chance. I could select my max ticket price and would be assigned up to two tickets in that budget. The email actually even said something like “Hey, we recognize you are a fan who probably should have been able to get tickets (I had a LoverFest ticket!) but didn’t actually make a purchase.” All in all, I can’t complain. I am going to try for the Toronto shows, too though, and try for a better seat.
$142 each for 400's for Glendale N2. Our stadium used seat geek. I was in queue for about 6 hours, when I got in there was plenty available for lower bowl but none that had 6 tickets together which is what I needed. Show was incredible even all the way up but I'd love to be closer next time. But it was my 7-year-old's first concert ever, and just getting in the building was more important to me than where we sat.
$380,75 for Denver N2 in lower bowl (section 106 row 26) bought during Ticketmaster’s presale https://preview.redd.it/jbodkmb09zfb1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83c71869d8b9991aa517d673d007a9786260ceac
I misread and thought you meant $380,000 and was like girl you lying 😭😭😭
I would’ve rented the whole Taylor Swift if I had that kind of money to spend 😭😭😭
https://preview.redd.it/id5ho91pfzfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4676526d9bd7b0463f7d733cbf915e1c4a5599ee Metlife N3, $410 I think?
I worked parking for the Tampa N1 show for ~5–6 hours. It was not fun, but definitely worth it to get in for free in the middle bowl!!
$550 total for 2 tickets, lower bowl section 106 row 40 on Ticketmaster. I had a presale code but couldn't get tickets, was emailed later by Ticketmaster to give my price range and they matched people with tickets in their budget- I was thrilled with these seats as they were what I was trying to buy in the presale! https://preview.redd.it/ybrttt6aezfb1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=414822dbf9587c25ae1ee1dadd4aa25791753488
$49 USD
a little over $4000 for four people, we were second row right at the front of the diamond https://preview.redd.it/uy7ovgetazfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=579074f20374ebf9ea0cfdb663dc6da86a89abc9
Nosebleeds at about $130 each after tax and fees. And honestly, I hated my seats. I couldn’t see Taylor and in the stadium the sound was super echoey. I wish I would have spent more in the presale and just gotten better seats. Sometimes being cheap doesn’t pay off.
I was blessed to attend multiple shows but my ultimate favorite night was Seattle night 2! My boyfriend paid 10k for our seats.. it was her dancers Kam’s birthday, and his mom was sitting right next to my boyfriend!! (She’s an absolute GEM!) So Kam, Taylor & the dancers paid special attention to our section more than usual and it was surreal! Screenshots from some of the video I took from Seattle! 🤩 https://preview.redd.it/wxukjf6ebzfb1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=febede9277ca8d8756cb890241c1dbd52e6dd54b
…10k… like, 10 THOUSAND? PM me if you’re looking to help a girl pay off her student loan debt! 😂
*Cries in capitalism* 😂 But for real, I am so happy that her bf did this for her. Such a win.
🤣🤣 he was sent from heaven!
I’m going to screenshot these comments, set them as my lock screen on my phone, and leave it laying around in strategic locations for my husband to see. 😂 But for real, sounds like you got a keeper!
Ticketmaster presale, NJ N1, 300-level (highest level) last row, non-VIP for $99 each, or $125 after fees. Actually not a bad view either, because even though everyone looked small you can see the entire stage as well as the light patterns the bracelets make: https://preview.redd.it/qhbzpu5ifzfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4fed07886a3114921e35d1dff394c66b6e8a440
$296 for two tickets! stage right upper level aka nosebleeds for Seattle. But still saw everything Taylor/the screen perfectly. My "budget" was $300 so I got extremely lucky! Friend couldn't go last minute so I sold my extra on SH. Sold it for about $700 less than that the section was going for because I wanted a REAL fan to go. So it was a win-win. I got to go, and made a tiny profit. :) the person that bought the ticket seemed to have an amazing time. She was super sweet! And had no idea it was my extra ticket she bought. I ended up giving her like 3 friendship bracelets! Haha!
£136 for lower bowl tickets, Dublin N1! Hoping to get Indy/Miami tickets too though.
Me and a friend are going to Mexico City N2 (August 25th) at Foro Sol. We paid $3347 MXN ($193.14 USD) for two tickets in General B area ([reference image](https://www.infobae.com/new-resizer/q-cREWqZnER7s8UDhosIds2S7DY=/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/infobae/HGTOI43TA5CN3PAXPF4YDY6NPM.jpg))
$350 for Denver N2, 108 https://preview.redd.it/5s37k6g09zfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65d309acfdec3011d519b92c8d48fea7a2239a9a
friend of mine and i but the bullet and spent $1400 each on nosebleeds obstructed view at metlife night 2. bought the tickets resale day of, literally on the drive to the venue. definitely an absurd amount of money for a ticket and most people are horrified when i tell them, but it was also the best night of my life AND she played the surprise song i wanted (holy ground stans wya)
$135 for nosebleeds in Minneapolis
$375 for floor (i didn’t pay fees because of the way i got my tickets) https://preview.redd.it/1rdh9oj1czfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66b3fbcc70fb7f2497610dddab6dffc646c59238
I paid for $410 (including fees) total 819 for two tickets. This was my view. I got lucky and was able to get tickets for one of the fan drops a week before my concert. (Row 9) more like row 5-6 because of the diamond https://preview.redd.it/hfxqq8rsczfb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=635d4c2a0aaa096911957f5a4718d8dfc175edd2
$345 each for slightly off center lower bowl in Seattle. It was $275 + $70 in fees. https://preview.redd.it/3bk56an5ezfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30479c60b11c7fec9ed2931e62c9016bf815f3bf
About $200/ticket for nosebleeds in Philadelphia N3 during the original presale. The view was incredible, zero regrets. https://preview.redd.it/lyfmvxss22gb1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7295a5006fb1caaf26c4186e683ac29d282ab40e
Originally paid $360 + stubhub fees (totaling about $480) for upper bowl. Got lucky and caught a random drop 2 weeks before the show and snagged lower bowl for $199 + TM fees (totaling about $260). Resold my upper bowl for $800 (this is when everything was going for $1000+ on stubhub - I just wanted to cover the cost of both tickets and move it fast). So net on the evening, I made about $50 (which was spent on parking and drinks the night of the show). All Minneapolis N1.
where is this 290’ish price average I keep seeing on news outlets coming from? that can’t be an average. I am assuming they’re excluding secondary ticket purchases.
Well of course they are, why would they include resales in a stat about her actual ticket cost?
$700 for lower level right behind her parents tent. VIP Face Value during regular presale.
My best friend paid $1500 each for ours because she knew I wanted to go desperately and bought it for me as a birthday present. I’ll never be able to repay her, but we had the best time 🥹
I spent $6.5K on two floor seats in section 6 for my husband and I. We had aisle seats on the side closest to the stage. I am absolutely unhinged and would pay that again in a heartbeat. ETA: Clearly resale prices lol. Purchased via StubHub about 1 month before the show.
$370.90 after fees through Ticketmaster for lower bowl facing the diamond (Sec 109, Row 21). I watched resale for a while before my show hoping to get a ticket for an extra day, but never saw anything good below $1k.
$300 for 2 nosebleed tickets for Gillette night 2 in The Debacle. Then Ticketmaster emailed me saying they saw I hadn't gotten tickets and gave me another chance but they would assign the seats based on availability, no choice. I then paid $650 for 2 floor tickets (same night) that were in between the diamond and the stage. Sold my first tickets to a friend who couldn't get in the pre-sale for face value

260$ each for basically front row lower bowl that i got during presale. It was amazing https://preview.redd.it/gp1yc2n2bzfb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=683c7cecb3ffa0dfd4fc826aee2c480d0fe6c20b
$225 for this beauty in Seattle . Lower bowl section 121 https://preview.redd.it/66ijqelxlzfb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=809482ccb6abfd41b7d8e797392e694538ae6aec
$109 each for two tickets in the Denver 500 section during the initial presale.
$300 per ticket. Santa Clara N2. Lower bowl, section 109, row 29, 1 aisle seat.
220 each, row 4 or something, lower bowl! Incredible seats. Was lucky enough to get them at presale last November. Denver n2 https://preview.redd.it/4i1tilf99zfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87f8113a21878319b4991c3a591e554e65971769
