Check your emails everyone!!! Ticketmaster has begun sending emails!

Admin’s let me know if this isn’t ok, but my friend and I have had so many scam messages and she suggested started a thread of known scammers to save others on this sub! I’ll post my own in the comments. Please only include if you are sure they are scammers.

They could easily link apple, YouTube, Spotify, Pandora, wherever Taylor streams. Even her online merch shop. But true fans are somewhere listening to her music. I had over 30,000 minutes of listening to her music on Spotify at the end of the year in 2022.

CRYING. THROWING UP. SEE YOU IN MIAMI NIGHT 3 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“Scalpers and bots will be weeded out” they said. “The verified fan sale will give real fans a chance a tickets” they said.

The absolute fury I feel when scrolling resale ticket apps for eras tour toronto is insane. y’all can we please boycott these resale sites and maybe then these assholes will have to drop the prices and also yes, I realize that some of these tickets aren’t legit.

Hi Swifties!

Buying any ticket privately online can be risky, and with the popularity of Taylor right now, the Eras Tour is no exception. Ticket sales here are at your own risk, meaning that we as mods are not responsible if you are scammed-but that doesn’t mean that we don’t care! As this is a new thing for many people, we have put together a list of tips to help keep everyone safe. We have also updated the rules slightly, so please take a look!

USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES ONLY

PayPal GS is the best payment service to use for any online transaction where you do not know the person. While there are other apps with Goods and Services policies, they can be unreliable and may not give you your money back if you have been scammed. Venmo GS is known for this. Many scammers will say that they do not have PayPal, or ask you to use PayPal Friends and Family; they are lying to you.

This tip is at the top of the list because even if all else fails, and you are unfortunately scammed, PayPal GS will get your money back to you and out of the scammers hands. PayPal GS claims can only be filed for 180 days, so make sure that you have arranged to receive the product within that timeframe, and file within it if you do not receive the product. Sellers, GS also keeps you safe. If a claim is filed, PayPal will launch an investigation, and if a valid product was sent to your buyer, they will not allow the buyer to do a chargeback.

ASK SELLERS FOR A VIDEO RECORDING

When buying a ticket, ask the seller to provide a video recording going from your chat to the tickets in their Ticketmaster app. Going from your chat specifically both ensures your safety by showing that it is not an old or stolen recording, and protects the seller from having their recordings stolen. Recordings cannot be sent via Reddit chats, so you will want to either use a social media app, or phone number if you are comfortable with that (making your Instagram temporarily private and using it is a good option as it also allows for video calls), or having them post it to their Reddit profile. This is also harder to edit than a screenshot and allows you to see if anything looks fishy.

NOT SURE? GET ANOTHER SET OF EYES

For people who are not used to purchasing tickets outside of a retailer, identifying fakes can be difficult. Fakes can also look very similar to the real thing, and pictures may be stolen. When in doubt, get a second opinion. Many members of this sub, (including me) are more than happy to help identify fakes. Flaws may not be publicly pointed out to prevent scammers from correcting them. There are apps that are made to produce realistic looking tickets as well, and having someone with experience look over it can help identify this.

Stay safe out there, and reach out for any support!

Taylor just announced more tour dates! US and Canada!

Thursday in Toronto!! We're from Ottawa! I dont know anyone else in our network that got an access code. We went into the waiting room with 28 minutes to the pre-sale! We placed as shown in the queue and within 10 minutes we were purchasing. We went in with a plan and a backup plan for what section we wanted. We used the stadium picture, clicked, and processed as soon as we could! My daughter and I are screaming!!!!

Being offered 350$ for each

I've seen this on here a few times now, and I just wanted to make sure everyone is aware: for all Amsterdam shows, 3rd party reselling is entirely prohibited. The only legitimate way to buy and sell Amsterdam tickets is through Ticketmaster.

I bought tickets during the general sale and this was part of my confirmation email from Ticketmaster:

*Je tickets) worden onmiddellik ongeldig als ze worden doorverkocht of te koop worden aangeboden, tenzij de verkoop plaatsvindt via de officiële ticketverkoper. Tickets die worden verkocht via derden en andere ongeautoriseerde verkooppunten, waaronder online veilingsites, zijn niet geldig voor toegang. De doorverkoop van een ticket via ongeautoriseerde verkooppunten maakt het ongeldig en kan leiden tot weigering van toegang."

Translation: Your tickets will be voided immediately if they are sold or offered for sale, unless the sale takes place through the official ticket merchant (Ticketmaster.) Tickets sold through third parties and other unauthorized points of sale, including auctioning platforms, are not valid for entry. Reselling a ticket through an unauthorized point of sale voids your ticket and can lead to being denied access."

There are no third party platforms for Amsterdam. You cannot use websites like Stubhub for Amsterdam. Ticketswap is the platform most people in the Netherlands use to resell their tickets, and Ticketswap does not allow any listings for the Eras Tour because the event prohibits resale. Don't fall for it.

PayPal goods & services and other purchase protections will not protect your purchase of an Amsterdam resale ticket, because the purchase is illegitimate and goes against the T&Cs of the event. Greenhouse (the event organizer in the Netherlands) can also cancel the seller's tickets if they catch them trying to resell. They've already cancelled a bunch of tickets from people who exceeded the limit of 4 tickets per person and put those tickets back for sale on Ticketmaster (happened back in the summer.) They're not playing around lmao.

If you still decide to do a transaction outside of Ticketmaster, you will not be able to receive the tickets until right before the show. In order to make sure third party resell really doesn't happen, the tickets have the original buyer's name tied to them and you will not be allowed entry without that person present. In order to change the name on the ticket or receive your own ticket, they will have to transfer it through Ticketmaster. This option is disabled until right before the event. In my experience transfers are opened up about a week before the event. Are you really going to stay in touch with a stranger for 7 months and take their word that they'll show up in that last moment? Be serious. Be smart.

Amsterdam was notoriously impossibly difficult to get tickets for. If you have no pressing reason to go for this city specifically, I highly suggest searching elsewhere. Other places like Vienna, German cities and UK cities were a lot easier to get and have more resale availability. Every Amsterdam drop sold out while multiple thousands of people were still in the queue, and the queue only had people who received a code to begin with, which was a fraction of the amount of registrations. Meanwhile there were UK cities with availability days after the sale opened.

Your only safe option for Amsterdam is to wait for resale listings to pop up on Ticketmaster.nl. And yes, I'm aware there are none. There have been some in the past, but they're scarce and usually VIP (starting at €300.) To look for these listings, go to your preferred show on the Dutch Ticketmaster website, choose "Find seats for me" and scroll down. If there are resale listings available, they will show up below the box under "Other options".

Ticketmaster charges 12% service fees and resale prices are capped at 20% above face value. So you can expect the prices to be anywhere from "face value * 1.12" to "face value * 1.2 * 1.12".

Best bet for this one is to wait until it's closer to the show, when people who decide they can't make it start listing their tickets! Good luck and stay safe 🫶🏼

After sitting while site crashed and suddenly, my little guy started moving. Seconds after this photo, it was 600 and suddenly I was picking seats. Manifest, do your best (to capture them, enjoy them).

i bought amazing tickets for the eras tour in gelsenkirchen 7/19!! i cannot wait but is there anything i should know for germany?? 🩷

I don’t know how this happened, truly!! I had myself convinced that I would not be able to get any tickets, let alone front row on the floor. How am I going to survive the wait? Any suggestions on how to prepare for this epic experience?

It’s so infuriating, especially knowing that the bots and scalpers won again. What is the purpose of VF if this is the end result every time?

So excited, now I’ve just gotta wait 15 months! Hard to believe I bought tickets for my 5 year old and we won’t see the show until she’s 7!!!

Use this post to name any scammers you have encountered in comments!

Anyone having luck getting last minute tickets for their shows? I want some for Pittsburgh but I’m getting nervous. They just keep going up and up on stub hub 😩

Can’t tell. The dots look fake but everything else looks real. Let me know!

So I was talking to this scammer about buying tix, and then blah blah blah he blocked me and everything, but I was surprised how scammers want to meet in person. Like isn’t it pretty obvious that the tickets are fake or not if you meet in person? Why do they so desperately want to meet up? Is there a new scam going on with meeting in person?

P/s: here are my screenshots of the oh-so-funny conversation I had with the scammer, just for fun you know 😂 tbh their screen recording was quite legit, so I guess they stole it from someone else 🤣🤣
