Footy star offers fans Taylor Swift tickets with priceless odds, but all is not as it seems
- Sarah Hosking sent Taylor Swift fans into a frenzy
- She said she had four tickets available for the MCG concert
- But not everything was as it seemed
AFLW star Sarah Hosking sparked excitement among Taylor Swift after offering fans the chance to get tickets to the superstar's sold-out show at the MCG.
Swift fans – known as 'Swifties' – are desperately trying to get tickets to the pop star's shows in Australia, with just two months before she lands for the next leg of her global tour.
Unsurprisingly, fans went crazy when Richmond star Hosking posted to her 25,000 followers that she sold four tickets to Swift's performance in Melbourne.
“Selling x4 tickets for Tay Tay,” Hosking wrote.
“Call or text only, no DMs.”

But the offer was too good to be true. The telephone number in the post was not Hosking's but belonged to fellow footy star Ruby Schleicher, who had no tickets to sell.
Schleicher posted a screen capture — with Swift's song Karma in the background — showing the dozens and dozens of messages asking “Sarah” for the tickets.
“Everyone, please stop texting and calling asking for T.Swift tickets!” Schleicher wrote.
“Sarah, you are the worst kind of person. Karma is coming your way very quickly.”
Hosking, who had previously spent time recording a podcast with Schleicher, could only see the funny side of the episode.
'I'm a ****** and I know it. Sorry in advance to everyone,” she wrote.
Hosking and Schleicher aren't the only football stars involved in the Swift frenzy. Collingwood hero Mason Cox has issued an 'apology' to the fan forced to sit behind his 211cm frame at the MCG.

“I would like to sincerely apologize in advance to anyone who still has tickets for the Taylor Swift concert,” said the 211 cm tall, American-born Magpie.
“I know you paid a lot, but I don't care. T Swift is more important.”
Meanwhile, the Hawthorn coach revealed he is under pressure to get tickets for his daughters and shamelessly appealed for help on SEN Radio.
“I think most of my week was trying to get Taylor Swift tickets for my 12-year-old daughters because if I let them down and right now I've had absolutely no luck,” said he.
