Taylor Swift fan shares genius seating hack that could score you ‘$1500 premium section seats’ on a budget: ‘No one is going to check’

A Taylor Swift fan has told how she managed to get 10th row seats at the Eras Tour concert, claiming premium tickets that were about 30 rows closer than their original positions.

Attending the Friday night show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Adelaide woman said she and her group of four originally had tickets “quite far back” in row P of section B1.

She shared her experience under the TikTok account @ebboonnyy and said a security guard told her they could sit in any seats that were not occupied during the show.

‘He said, ‘If you find an empty seat in the A section, just take it. I’m not going to tell anyone that nobody cares. Nobody’s going to check.’

Her group ended up sitting in row seven during Sabrina Carpenter’s set, when she opened the concert.

While the seats were originally claimed by ticket holders, she subsequently discovered a completely vacant section in “row nine or 10.”

She also told other Swifties to use the same tactic.

“If you’re confident, go get those damn chairs,” she said.

‘Try your luck, do what you can. Don’t stay where you are because it’s a missed opportunity.’

Despite her positive experiences, she wondered why the highly sought-after seats were left empty.

“We ended up getting into a section that cost $1,200 or $1,500, which is absolutely surreal and kind of disgusting that there was a whole argument going on when people were literally selling their souls and dying for these tickets,” she said.

One commenter theorized that the empty seats may have been purchased by ticket scalpers who couldn’t fill the spots.

“I think maybe the empty seats are tickets that scalpers bought and didn’t sell? “I was in section M21 and there were four empty seats right behind me and then eight empty seats in another row,” they said.

Another TikTok user said she used a similar tactic.

“I went last night and was on the floor in the back. Went all the way to the front and just kept walking…three rows from the stage,” they shared.

Swift will play her final show in Melbourne on Sunday evening before heading to Sydney for four shows on her sold-out tour from February 23 to 26.
