Taylor Swift is heading for the final Eras Tour show tonight (December 8) in Vancouver, Canada, rounding up her almost 19-month-long tour that traversed five continents and 51 cities. Tickets for the Eras Tour sold out rapidly, with fans clamouring for last-minute tickets through resellers.
To address the overwhelming demand, Taylor Swift released 'no view' seats for $16 last month, offering fans a concert-like experience minus the visuals. However, resellers have seized upon this opportunity, jacking up the prices for these audio-only seats to a staggering $1,400. Meanwhile, tickets for other seats are being resold at exorbitant prices, ranging from $889.20 to a whopping $20,000.
In an effort to make more Swifties a part of her extraordinary journey, Swift offered an unconventional deal: $16 tickets for seats with no view of the stage.
Just for the price of a pizza, fans could claim bragging rights for attending one of Swift's final Eras Tour shows, even if they couldn't actually see her perform live.
Some fans who attended the show on a 'no view' ticket took to X to share their experience, and honestly, it doesn't look half the bad it was initially said to be. One fan revealed that they could even see part of the stage, along with a view of several video boards that will show Swift's performance.
The final Eras Tour show in Vancouver has driven resellers to capitalize on the last-minute frenzy. In a staggering markup, the "no-view" tickets, initially priced at a modest $16, are now being listed by resellers for a whopping $1,400.
On a Reddit post dedicated to discussing Swift's audio-only seats, fans shared their experiences of how resellers have been cashing on the rare opportunity.
"Just checked the Gametime app. These are going for $1400 minimum for tomorrow night. I honestly considered grabbing two seats for me and my sister, since we couldn¡¯t afford $2k + tickets for any of the US dates," one user wrote.
"That is if the tickets actually?stayed?16$. They will not lol. Watch them be 500$ as soon as the scalper bots hit. Some entrepreneur should do a swift equivalent of like a bridgerton ball, I bet it would sell gangbusters," another user wrote.
A third commented, "Immediately after they were selling for around $1500. Today ¡°down¡± to about $600."
"People who got these are reeling for $1900 each. My friend¡¯s nephew got a seat but he kept it and attended last night. He¡¯s not a fan but wanted to experience it ¡ªgood for him," wrote another user.
