Are Taylor Swift tickets sold out, how many left and how to get tickets for Sydney Melbourne shows

Millions of Taylor Swift fans spent hours this week trying to get their hands on Eras tour tickets, some of which were successful and others who struggled.

This way you can still get tickets for the Eras tour.

Are Taylor Swift tickets sold out?

General admission tickets for the Sydney dates of Taylor Swift’s Australian Eras tour sold out on Friday.

Only VIP and Hotel + Ticket packages remain for all Sydney shows.

For Melbourne, a possibility to buy general admission tickets will open again at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available through the Ticketek website. Prices range between $79 and $379 or up to $1249 if Swifties want to splurge on a VIP package.

Up to 800,000 hopeful fans were in the online lounge hours before the Sydney general sale went live on Friday – and similar numbers are expected for Melbourne.

How do you get Taylor Swift tickets if you missed it?

If you miss Friday’s general sale, your next option is to try and get a ticket on a resale platform.

The only 100 percent ‘safe’ way to purchase resale tickets for the concerts is through Ticketek’s own site Tmarketplace.

Fans who can no longer come to the show can place their tickets there – but can only charge 10 percent on top of the ticket price.

But some people have posted tickets on alternative sites, trying to make a profit already.

Ticket resale platform Viagogo has reportedly been offering Australia Eras tour tickets for up to double what they should cost fans.

A spokesperson for Viagogo confirmed that the platform does not sell tickets, but is a “marketplace that connects ticket sellers with fans in an open, secure and transparent platform.”

“In response to Victoria declaring the Taylor Swift tour a major event, we have taken appropriate steps to ensure that our platform is in full compliance with federal and state laws in Australia,” the spokesperson said.

It is against the law to resell and advertise tickets for a declared major event for more than 10 percent of the original price.

Individuals can be fined $109,044, while businesses can be fined $545,200.

The resale rules have been revised by event agency Frontier Touring.

“Any ticket for Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour that is offered for resale elsewhere, whether online or offline (including Viagogo, The Ticket Merchant, Tixel, Trade Me, eBay, and Gumtree, or any other unauthorized source, including any secondary websites for ticket sales, and social media) Buy Swap Swell pages), may result in all your orders and tickets being canceled without notice to you and your ticket price being refunded,” the company warned.

How are Taylor Swift tickets issued?

The main thing is to remember ‘the tickets don’t exist yet’ and only the week before the concert.

Ticketek confirmed that people with tickets would have to download the app and wait until February for them to be delivered electronically.

This is an anti-scalping measure.

How many Taylor Swift tickets are left?

Ticketek has not confirmed how many presale tickets were sold on Wednesday or how many are left.

It is estimated that at least 180,000 tickets have become available after it was announced that Taylor would perform an additional show in Sydney and Melbourne.

Sydney’s Accor Stadium has a capacity of 83,500, while the MCG can accommodate a slightly larger number of fans at 100,000.

General sales for shows in Sydney and Melbourne kick off Friday, giving fans another chance to catch the highly anticipated 2024 tour

What are Taylor Swift’s new and additional shows in Australia?

Two additional shows have been added to Taylor Swift’s Australian tour after Ticketek received unprecedented ticket demand.

It was announced that the American pop star would perform a fourth show in Sydney and a third show in Melbourne on Thursday morning.

The additional shows will take place on February 18 at MCG Stadium in Melbourne and February 26 at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

The additional performances will make an additional 180,000 tickets available to the public, which is good news for Swifties who have missed out so far.
