Taylor Swift sends fans into a frenzy as final Eras tour tickets go on sale

General admission tickets for the Sydney dates of Taylor Swift‘s Australian Eras tour sold out in two hours on Friday, after two pre-sales broke the internet earlier in the week.

Only VIP and Hotel + Ticket Packages remain across all Sydney shows. 

Frontier touring made the announcement around midday on Twitter, writing: ‘A-G Reserve now allocation exhausted. VIP and Hotel + Ticket Packages remain across all Sydney shows!’

While thousands of Aussie fans queued up online for tickets on Friday morning, others decided to camp outside of Ticketek offices ‘because it’s easier than buying them online.’ 

The Speak Now songstress was forced to add the extra dates after millions of eager fans missed out on tickets during pre-sale.

Swift announced a third Melbourne show at the MCG on February 18 next year and a fourth Sydney concert at Accor Stadium on February 26 as part of The Eras Tour. 

Tickets for her Sydney shows went on sale at 10am on Friday, while Melbournians will have to fight it out for a ticket at 2pm. 

The Grammy award-winning star will become the first artist since Madonna to perform three consecutive concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when she takes the stage in February next year, and the first ever to play a fourth straight show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

The new gigs are in addition to the existing Melbourne concerts on February 16 and 17 and Sydney shows on February 23, 24, 25.

On Friday, frantic fans took to social media to tweet Ticketek and beg for seats to one of the shows.

‘This is becoming an obsession. I feel like a stalker!’ wrote one fan.

‘I’m going to start playing each of Taylor Swifts albums and see how long it takes,’ wrote another.

‘Guys I’m at work serving customer please make sure I get tickets straight away please I’m begging you,’ pleaded another.

One cash-strapped fan wrote, ‘How much are bookings/service fees per ticket? Need to make sure enough in account?’ 

Other fans camped outside the Ticketek offices in a bid to beat the online queues.

‘Still 3 hours until the box office opens, but the vibes are immaculate,’ Swift superfan Bec Sammut said in a viral TikTok video as she waited outside in the dead of winter.

‘Camping overnight at the Ticketek office for Taylor Swift tickets because that’s legitimately easier than getting them online,’ she wrote. 

It comes after thousands of Aussie Swifties had a meltdown when they tried to score a seat to her concerts next year during Frontier’s Touring second pre-sale via Ticketek earlier this week.

Plenty of lucky Swifties successfully secured tickets, but many claimed the Ticketek app crashed and they could not get through to the purchasing page.  

‘This was unexpected. Please try again,’ a message read.  

At one point there was a record-breaking 800,000 fans nervously waiting in the queue, with some waiting over 15 minutes to get through to the next page.

A Ticketek spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia the app was up and running, but fans experiencing difficulty most likely don’t have the latest updated version.

Swifties can also access tickets through the Ticketek website.
