Taylor Swift Fans Promise Revolt After Ticketmaster Cancels the Eras Tour’s Public Sale

We finally know what Taylor Swift wrote “The Great War” about. 

After two days of chaotic presales for supposedly verified Swift fans and Capital One cardholders desperate for a shot at seeing the artist’s upcoming Eras Tour, Ticketmaster has come baring more bad news: Due to “extraordinarily high demands” on their site, the general sale planned for November 18 has been canceled. According to the company, which is owned by Live Nation Entertainment, there is “insufficient ticket inventory” to meet the public demand. 

They should have added, “I’m the problem. It’s me.” It might’ve softened the blow a little.

Starting on November 15, many fans who received codes from the Ticketmaster registration lottery were devastated to come away empty-handed after waiting for hours in online queues, only to be left out of the sale or even to make it through but be unable to purchase tickets due to glitches, high-speed purchasers, and severe price gouging (which Ticketmaster gently refers to as “dynamic pricing”). 

A Capital One presale event was scheduled for the same day but was ultimately pushed to the 16th after “unprecedented demand” on Ticketmaster. Despite the switch, Capital One cardholders were met with similar problems the very next day.
