After pre-sales? Any luck? Any feelings? Lots of wine?

Omg hi. Yesterday was a fucking nightmare but I did manage to get one single ticket in the nosebleeds for $150 to night 2 in Santa Clara. Hopefully I’ll make a friend or two when I’m there (I’m very introverted and now I’m going alone 🥴). I feel very lucky that I was even able to get it but the whole experience was awful and kind of gave me the ick.

I’m still exhausted from yesterday. Waited in the queue for five hours with most of that with it just paused but finally just as I hit hour five the queue started moving and then I was in. I did manage to get two tickets for Nashville in the mid upper bowl on the side right in front of the center stage.

Alex Ray

I’m so happy you got one but also big ick… the screenshots of people reaching out to Ticketmaster because their boosts weren’t working and ticket master saying there were no boosts and they were “misinformed” hurts my soul. Like as an attorney, I’m sure there’s some clause in whatever deal Taylor has with them that says she can’t disparage them, but the “ick” is a great word for it…

Alex Ray

Omg what Nashville night? My friend snagged me one for Nash thank fuck, because I didn’t get presale (even though I had a boost..) I’m so happy for you! And I bet you’re emotionally and physically exhausted 🤦🏽‍♀️ yesterday was Armageddon.

Alexis Wolfer

Honestly it made me feel stupid to even participate at all. I hated the hyper competitive feeling of it. I would be very interested to hear your attorney thoughts about the whole thing. It just feels weird.

I was so desperate I was about ready to buy $50 nosebleed tickets behind the stage, but I couldn’t even get those! I had presale for Santa Clara night 1 but had no luck. 😞 I’m going to try again when the general sale starts, but I don’t think it’s in the cards for me… we’ll see I guess, I was so excited to get to do something super fun with my cousins! At least I was able to get some Louis Tomlinson tickets, that’s going to be crazy!

I was able to get a vip ticket in lower bowl for Cincinnati yesterday for almost $600 which in and of itself is ridiculous but the whole process was a nightmare. I was literally stuck in the queue for 5 hours and by the time I got in almost everything was gone and I had so much trouble getting my code to work. I feel lucky to have gotten a ticket but I’m so disheartened that everything happened the way it did. And from what I’ve heard capital one presale wasn’t any better

Alex Ray

Yeah I think I’m going to do either a video, or a podcast style stream after I do some more research and see like, how the Ticketmaster Livenation merger affects it all, what decisions Taylor was able to make, etc. It shouldn’t have felt so competitive and that sucks. Like it was the presale… I can’t imagine what the general will be like. Like god I love Taylor Fucking Swift with my whole heart, but when Taylor nation represented that people would have boosts and didn’t, that VIP tickets would START at 99 and absolutely did not, like that’s feeling really gross.

Annie Willow

5/6 yeah I had a boost but that certainly did nothing. I’m so glad that yesterday was a regular day off for me because there’s no way I could have worked during that even though I work from home. I just started with a new team and my new supervisor and I spent half of our meeting this morning asking all about the craziness. Turns out she’s as much of a Swiftie as I am. 🤣

Alex Ray

Omg so happy for your Louis tickets!! And truly, I think when the hype wears off and a bunch of people are left with tickets they didn’t want or plans change, there will be some reasonable resales. That’s my hope for Tampa cause I wasn’t able to get any. That’s such a bummer though I’m so sorry 😞

Emily Bahu

Thank you, I knew it was going to be difficult though because I was trying to get 6 tickets. I hope you’re able to get some tickets as well!

Alexis Wolfer

Would love a video or podcast! I was also supposed to have a “boost” according to a Taylor Nation email but the whole thing felt like a scam. I know she’s already getting back lash and I don’t want to add to that, but it’s just really disappointing considering she’s like arguably the biggest artist in the world right now.

Alex Ray

My friend got our Nashville tickets in cap 1, but I was in queue for 4 hours and never moved an inch. Thank fuck she got it but confirmed, it was no better. My sis got lower bowl for Cinci Too and it was around 600 for a joke of a “VIP” package. I feel exactly the way you do. Lucky and thankful but like guilty and disheartened? Reputation ticket sales went so well so we know it’s possible to make the process smoother..??

Yesterday was a nightmare and I’ve heard the capital one pre-sale wasn’t much better this morning. It’s rumored that tm switched the boosted and non-boosted by “accident” so anyone who had a boosts were put further back in the queue. Many also noticed that after they “fixed” things yesterday is when all the floor seats suddenly became vip packages. I managed to get a ticket for 4/28 and 4/30 in Atlanta, but the excitement is overshadowed by the number of swifties I know where all of this failed them. We’re supposed to be hyping each other up, planning our outfits and group meet ups, and celebrating that we’ll be seeing Taylor again, not feeling completely deflated.

Alexis Wolfer

If you end up getting tix for Santa Clara night 2, let me know! I’ll be there alone 🙃

Jaclyn Dimmick

I heard, although I’m not sure if it’s true but considering how Ticketmaster runs things it wouldn’t surprise me, that the rep boost system worked so well that so few scalpers got tickets so now Ticketmaster won’t let anymore use that system anymore. It makes all the statements they make about trying to fight bots absolutely laughable

Emily Bahu

Yeah, I’ll update you guys if I get anything! Definitely wouldn’t mind making a new friend, god knows I need some. 🙃

Cat M

Yesterday was a nightmare for me! I had tickets in my cart three times before I got kicked out and sent to the back of the line and nothing was left before I got back in. But today I got super lucky when they put everyone in the queue and got two tickets at the show I wanted! And they aren't floor, cause I don't have that type of budget. But they are really good seats! So I'll be at the May 21 show with my best friend!

Cat M

I would be really interested in that too cause the whole thing felt so gross!

Tracy Lu

I messed up, and I didn’t get in with the presale tickets. Looking at things now I’m probably not going to get a ticket 😔

Cat M

Do you live close enough to a venue to buy from their box office? Cause that might work if you call them

Jordan Belanger

I am SO thankful the process went smooth for me (aside from having to wait 5 hours for west coast pre-sale to open back up). But once it did I was in the queue and checked out with 2ND ROW tickets in under 30 minutes and I only paid $550 each after fees. I feel horrible about what other swifties are going through right now but I am also so so excited to see Taylor live as I haven’t seen her since I was 12 years old in 2010!! This experience is going to be a true dream come true.

Alex Ray

Yeah same, like is it her fault, probably not. Was there a non-disparagement clause, probably. Could she cancel the resales and have them only be sold at face value tho? We shall see

Alex Ray

Dude I, my sister, my friends, no one worked Taylor single handedly killed productivity lol

Alexis Wolfer

I’m assuming you saw the general sale cancellation announcement….

Alex Ray

Yeah I mean it worked, and that’s why Ticketmaster said fuck it

Alex Ray

The whole vibe has been killed for sure :/ I’m so glad you got some, but yeah I feel the same as you, how many bots and scalpers got them and it was totally preventable?

Alex Ray

God I’m sorry 😞😞😞 I hope Taylor takes the same approach Ed does and gives everyone another shot once the hype wears off

Alex Ray

I’m so excited for you!!!! I haven’t seen her since 1989 so I’m feeling that 😘 I’m so glad it went well for you and those are such good seats!

Alex Ray

Maybe they’ll cancel the resales and set them to be sold at face value… Ed did it and I really hope they follow suit

Alex Ray

Yep my sister called me losing her god damn mind. They have totally fucked this up. I hope it’s cause they’re cancelling resales and doing another round of verified

Alexis Wolfer

Idk how the logistics of that would work but I did read that Eric Church (? dunno who that is) did something like that and was able to identify scalper tickets.

Alex Ray

Yep I literally just saw that tweet. He cancelled like 10k tickets

loveAmandaGrace

There was a guy on twitter bragging about being able to skip the queue for multiple cities and is now going to be able to “put my daughters through college.” It’s all just sad, you know?
