Aussie TikTok star left red-faced after accidentally spending $10,000 on Taylor Swift tickets

Taylor Swift is set to bring her Eras Tour Down Under in 2024 and tickets have quickly sold out across the country as almost a million fans rushed to snap up seats.

And on Thursday, Aussie influencer Georgia Rose revealed she was left red-faced after accidentally purchasing multiple tickets at once, to the cost of $10,000.

‘If you tried for tickets in the AMEX presale you know it was a crazy morning as the site crashed,’ she said in a TikTok video.

The brunette explained that she had the Amex site open on four different tabs to maximise her chances of scoring tickets – but didn’t count on the sale going through four times.

‘I am a moron. I had four windows open as I was not expecting to get tickets in any of them.’

‘I go through the next steps and then click check out and as the wheel is spinning to process the order I look in the background and it says $10,000.’

She quickly realised she had accidentally purchased eight VIP packages and said her father immediately called her to ask why his credit card had been charged the jaw-dropping sum.

Fortunately, they were not out of pocket as they were able to sell the additional tickets to family members at face value.

Swift will be performing four concerts in Sydney and three in Melbourne next year.

The shows will be the first time the Love Story hitmaker, 33, has performed in Australia since 2018 and tickets to her shows her shows are highly sought after. 

Earlier this week, pre-sale tickets for her first five shows sold out after a record four million users joined a ‘queue’ to get a ticket to see the American superstar.  

The remaining general release tickets went on sale Friday morning, along with two additional shows in Sydney and Melbourne to satiate the overwhelming demand. 

The Victorian shows will be performed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on February 16, 17 and 18.

Swift will then fly to Sydney to perform over four consecutive nights at Accor Stadium on February 23, 24, 25, 26. 

The Pennsylvania native has not announced dates in any other Australian city or New Zealand dates.
