    Nosebleeds for my date were more expensive than my lower bowl for Taylor

    I have heard that requiring credit card u purchased with doesn't stop all scalpers but surely it cuts down on it a lot? Idk is there anything that will totally eliminate them? Aside from everyone stop buying scalped tickets

    Definitely cuts down a ton. They can only sell the tickets if they get the purchaser to meet up with them physically at the box office an hour or so before the show

    Is there a reason more artists don't do that? I guess it may be difficult if ur buying tickets as a gift but other than that it seems like a good plan

    In Italy they legit print your name on tickets and I had to have my passport with me to verify identity to get into the soccer stadium. Could be a method that helps cut down too

    First time I saw it implemented was for Lana Del Rey at a 1k cap venue and it took like an hour to get all those people in so I imagine it would be much harder at 20k cap arenas, sadly

    I've also seen will call only shows but with that and the credit card thing too I guess you're fucked if you can't make the show

    When I saw modest mouse all they had to do was scan something and it was super quick! But I guess that would be a pain if there's a zillion times the people lol

    Ooooh I’m stupid, I thought we were talking about will call only shows oops

    Yeah you’re right, it should be easy to implement that

    Most special/small/exclusive shows around here require to be will call only, with original credit card

    I might be? idk what I'm talking about haha. Either way I'm a cheapo and could not shell out a ton for a ticket unless it was once in a lifetime.

    For Taylor, especially this tour, you KNOW that a huge percentage of sales are gifts for other people, if this tour required credit card and/or will call, it would really fuck up basically everything, it's just not realistic

    I wish someone bought me concert tickets as a gift :tear:

    Instead I always buy them for other people begging them to come with me lol

    yeah definitely a lot of parents buying the tickets and dropping their kids off at the show

    That's not the only way. They will also buy tickets online using Visa gift cards and then mail the gift card to the purchaser. This happens wayyy more than meeting the purchaser at the venue.

    haha. “A great song can make the worst singer in the world a star”. That's very great advice...to one of the biggest stars in the world.

    If he doesn't like her music/album, that's cool, but I really don't even understand his point. I guess he's saying she has no substance?

    After trying (but not succeeding) at buying Elton John tickets today, I have a newfound appreciation for Taylor's system. It was sooo nice to be able to just log in and take my time selecting tickets. I signed up for Elton's verified fan stuff, but got wait listed, and getting actual tickets was impossible. The boosting was annoying, but I'd do it again if it means getting tickets at a reasonable price in good seats.
