The American singer-songwriter continues to fill stadiums as she takes her ‘Eras’ tour around the globe throughout 2024. Remaining summer dates are scheduled in London before she returns to north America for shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis, culminating with appearances in Toronto and Vancouver in Canada at the end of the year. If you’re keen to attend a Taylor Swift concert over the coming months, but tickets are sold out for your preferred dates, then we’ve picked out two great online resources offering resale tickets.
Viagogo
Viagogo are a renowned peer-to-peer ticket resale and exchange platform. The website is easy to use and if you book more than one seated ticket for an event, the seats are guaranteed to be alongside each other, so you won’t be separated from the people you’re attending with. Tickets can be issued electronically to be stored on your phone or printed at home. During our search for tickets for upcoming concert dates, we found a wide selection on offer, with prices starting at around $450 for a single ticket for a date in London in August. However, tickets for dates later down the line were significantly steeper- often more than double. For concert-goers arriving in their own car, there’s a ‘parking’ tab next to the ‘tickets’ tab that lets you purchase off-site parking near the venue. Buyers should be aware of add-on costs, including having to pay 20%-30% of the total ticket price in fees.
StubHub International
Another well-established peer-to-peer ticket exchange service, StubHub International allow you to buy resale tickets for entertainment events across the globe. As with Viagogo, sellers can price tickets as they choose, but usefully the website lets you view the face value cost of each ticket so you can compare it against the asking price. Buyers can request for tickets to be delivered physically, as print-at-home, or directly to your mobile as e-tickets. When we searched for ticket availability, we found similar prices to Viagogo, starting at around $585 for approaching dates in London and substantially higher for dates across the pond later in the year. Additional fees for service, delivery and VAT tended to be around $100 per ticket, but to avoid you getting caught out, there’s a slider that lets you see the full cost before you book. StubHub also include a FanProtect Guarantee scheme with every purchase that helps you secure a refund if anything goes wrong with your tickets.
