The hours-long Ticketmaster debacle parents endured Tuesday trying to score concert seats left them empty-handed and frustrated — and their kids disappointed.
They were supposed to be birthday presents. They were supposed to be Christmas presents. They were supposed to be the most special of special treats for young fans of Taylor Swift.
Others who did battle on computers eventually scored, some after being kicked out of the online queue numerous times or struggling with error messages. “My 20-year-old said even if you don't get them, I still love you,” Mitchner said, laughing. “It's kind of our thing to do together. I would have been upset. I just tried to be calm."
The 52-date Eras Tour kicks off March 17 in Glendale, Arizona, and wraps up with five shows in Los Angeles ending Aug. 9. It's Swift's first tour since 2018.She lost out trying for her 14-year-old daughter and a friend. The girls were in gym class when tickets went on sale so mom was tasked with the job. The Philadelphia show was going to be a birthday present.
“I never got past 2,000 plus people in line. So finally around 2:30 I gave up. I'm like, forget this, I'm an adult person. I can't sit here all day with Taylor Swift on my phone,” Williams said. “I was complaining to my daughter the whole time. Like, this is for the birds.”
