Devastation as Irish Taylor Swift fans priced out of tickets

“Way to price your fans out of going to your concert.”

Taylor Swift fans have been left incredibly disappointed after thousands missed out on tickets to the Eras Tour.

Tickets for the ‘All Too Well’ singer’s tour are high in demand but fans were left outraged over the price of tickets for the singer’s Dublin shows.

She is set to play at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium next June with tickets costing as high as €743 for one ticket alone. General tickets were swiped up in less than 16 minutes, which left just VIP packages available for her Dublin shows.

500,000 people reportedly signed up for the ticket sales, but only 150,000 were available, which includes the pre-sale that took place last week.

Only those who pre-registered for the tour can access the general sale today. Sales took place at 11 am and 1 pm this afternoon. Another is due to take place at 3 pm, but fans are feeling defeated over the extortionate prices.

People expressed their outrage on Twitter after failing to get tickets.

One wrote, “Sorry but Ticketmaster charging extortionate prices for VIP Taylor Swift in Dublin only to be sat in the nosebleeds is a joke, taking advantage of people.”

“The Taylor Swift Eras Tour prices are horrific. The cheapest ticket for Dublin was £118,” another said.

One added, “Hearing the prices people have been having to pay for Taylor Swift tickets is genuinely shocking.”

“Don’t care how good the seat or merch is, it could never be worth €700+ for a singular ticket. Way to price your fans out of going to your concert,” another wrote.
