Waitlisted for Toronto. One last hope is my Canadian friend whom I was going to go with is an Avion Rewards member so he has his name in for us in that pre-sale.

I've spoken to like 50 people and one person I know got a code for Toronto. And none of them knew anyone else who got a code. This is insane, really wish there was more transparency in how people got selected.

I was waitlisted for Toronto too, but I also registered for the Avion members sale, so fingers crossed I get a code for that.

I also got waitlisted for Toronto. A friend got a code though so I'm hoping to get a ticket from her.

I got a code for Toronto for 11/15. Feeling lucky after seeing so many people get waitlisted. Hoping I can grab some tickets today!

I got a presale code for Miami but wasnβt able to get any tickets. Ticketmaster was just as messy as it was for the first leg. So heads up to anyone who got a presale code. Be ready for round 2.

Apparently 31 million accounts registered for the Toronto shows. π The entire country has a population of 38 million.

I think it's apparent that 1. a lot of Americans were trying for tickets as well 2. people are signing up to resell tickets for huge profit margins, seeing as Swifties are willing to pay $1000+ for nosebleeds I got a presale code for Miami but wasnβt able to get any tickets. Ticketmaster was just as messy as it was for the first leg. So heads up to anyone who got a presale code. Be ready for round 2. wonder if they'll do what they did for the first leg, giving opportunities to people who got codes but didn't score tickets to "request" a pair. that's how I ended up with my original tickets. there was a plan to have a "general sale" that time, so they had some inventory to spare.

I know she got clocked for the Reputation system but that was clearly the best way to ensure tickets actually go to fans. This current system is not "Verified Fans" it's "Random People Verified with a Phone Number."

This current system is not "Verified Fans" it's "Random People Verified with a Phone Number." at least for the first US leg they gave priority to people who ordered Midnights on her website. was anything like that in place for this round? I HATE Verified Fan. like why the fuck did I get waitlisted for BeyoncΓ© π but it worked out fine for me for Doja Cat & Taylor Swift tickets, at least.

I've pre-ordered all of her vinyls off her store (since folklore) + Eras Tour merch (well, one sweater, but still) and got wait listed, so. I've never had success with verified fan. I was wait listed for Olivia Rodrigo, Doja, Beyonce, and now Taylor. Thank god my friend got tickets for NJ so I was able to see the show there, I'd be actually devastated right now otherwise.

I think they also use factors such as the age of ticketmaster account, past ticket purchases , and history of ticket transfers to try to guess whether or not you are a bot or reseller. And if your account is flagged as suspicious you won't get verified fan no matter how boosts you got. Also I think everyone who bought something on her store got the same boost . It didn't matter how much you bought.

It didn't matter how much you bought. my account is over a decade old, have bought tickets to countless shows over the years including previous Taylor shows (but not Eras on my account) and have never resold a ticket so what now π₯² I truly think this round was fully randomized and there was no rhyme or reason to it, beyond standard spam filtering. The two people I know who got codes: neither have ever purchased anything from her store and both have resold before. I asked, lol.

Iβm so upset. A friend of mine just managed to get tix and good for him but heβs very corporate world/business man so heβs essentially the definition of privilege so of course heβd be the one to get tix over anyone else I know. π
Apparently thereβs a presale for 22/11 and 23/11 tomorrow. Is that basically a continuation of the initial sign-up list? Will they be pulling people from the current waitlist for those? Idg how this whole thing works.

They staggered the presale windows throughout the week, so each show had different windows. People for every show already got their codes, yeah. It's not looking good for waitlist folks as the two people I know who got codes said there was barely any seats left when they bought their tickets. One of them had to buy VIP as that's all that was left. But if the shows you signed up for were 22/11 or 23/11, tomorrow is when you'd find out if you're moving off the wait list. I still think she will announce 2 more shows (at least) and hopefully they just pull from the wait list for those.

I signed up for 21 and 22. I wonder if I should change that 21 to 23. I think I can? Iβm afraid to rock the boat with my waitlist info and risk being flagged for removal or something.

The demand is incredible. I do hope we eventually get a full tour film because I'd love to see the show in HD.

I don't think you can change the dates you signed up for. I think one was able to change up until the initial deadline to get on the waitlist in the first place, but once the deadline to sign-up passed, the choices are locked.

Gross that people have seen her multiple times complaining about being waitlisted on social media. I HAVE YET TO SEE HER. TM needs to be sued into the ground about their handling of these codes. How is it that people get codes that have already seen her while we are left out in the cold???!
Mess.
