The surprising ways you can score last minute tickets to the Australian leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour
It’s less than a month before Taylor Swift begins the Australian leg of her Eras tour.
While some Swifties managed to score tickets to one of the dates, many more were left disappointed, but there is still hope with a number of alternative routes to take in the shows.
A new way to watch the show is to work during the show, with some fans going so far as to take casual jobs at the stadiums where Taylor will be playing.
Although these jobs are not easy to find, searching stadium websites and job boards can yield promising results.
Searching the job boards of event, concert and festival crew companies is also a way to find these gigs.

Show crew lists like this offer temporary and casual jobs for numerous shows, including the Eras tour.
Another method has an even lower chance of success, but is worth a try anyway.
Currently there are a few matches offering remaining tickets for the tour.
Each competition has its own entry criteria, and it’s likely that a ton of Swifties will enter for the chance to see their idol, but this cheap gamble may be the best option for some.

Tour organizers are concerned about the 15,000 fans estimated to arrive despite not having tickets to see the pop star’s sold-out shows.
Venues NSW have warned ticketless fanatics to stay away from the stadium to avoid crowd management issues, they reported The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.
A spokesperson said fans who missed out on tickets should not try to “soak up the atmosphere” outside as they probably won’t hear any songs anyway.
Meanwhile, Transport NSW coordinator general Howard Collins said the city is “preparing for the inevitable”.

“What we found at other popular music venues where people can’t get tickets, people just show up to soak up the atmosphere, and you can’t stop them except to manage the crowds,” he said.
“We are not encouraging ticketless fans to attend, but part of our contingency plan takes into account additional people who may be traveling and do not have tickets.”
But despite warnings from the NSW government, businesses are said to be rolling out the welcome mat to all Taylor fans, regardless of whether they have tickets.
Business Sydney director Paul Nicolaou said: “Regardless of their ticket status, Sydney should put up the welcome sign for the Swifties because they will all contribute to our city in some way.”
