I had a verified presale code and it’s been a HUGE, frustrating mess. After 8+ hours I managed to snag 3 tickets in Arlington. They’re rafter seats but they’re in front of the stage. I really, really wanted to go with my girls.

We were able to get tickets. Prices on available tickets were ridiculous. The cheaper tickets flew out the shelves in seconds. You could select them , click check out and instantly they had been taken by someone else. Very frustrating for dd’s friends.

DD scored 2 tickets for the first night and 3 for the 2nd show.. which was by accident… she never got confirmation for the two tickets and went ahead and tried for the 2nd show… and ended up getting both
My other Dd who is 14 is going to have a SURPRISE Christmas this year. She will forever love her big sister!
There is a slight chance I’ll be able to go… but I said only if there is an extra spot..

After 7.5 hours I was finally able to get tickets. The whole process was very frustrating. I tried to check out 7 different times and tickets kept disappearing from my cart. Finally ended up with pretty crappy seats for $200 each. Stub Hub is selling tickets in my exact same show and section for $3,200.

I found out at 5pm that DD and friends got tickets. She said it had been a day of mixed emotions. Her friend had a pre-sale verification and DD has a Capitol 1 card in case it was needed tomorrow. They will see T in Nashville.

Managed to get 3 tickets for one of the LA shows. I do have a tip for anyone who's still hoping to get tickets either through the Capital One presale or the general sale. When you get in to select seats, don't waste time trying to click on the little blue seat dots. Choose from the list that populates at the right hand side and when you click on a choice, look at the little graphic of the venue that will show up at the top of the list that shows where the seats are located to decide if they're what you want. Don't waffle because they will be GONE! Good luck!!

Best of luck for anyone trying Capital One tomorrow. I really hope ticketmaster has at least worked out some of the worst of the bugs from today. Spent about 5+ hours in the queue and about 30+ minutes once 3 of us got to the seat selection with multiple sets gone before they could process. Ended up with 6 in lower bowl, so we're happy. I printed out a map which was really helpful when trying to see at least what section I was choosing - it went so so so fast.
I was actually going to suggest the opposite of @misadventures, only because 2 people were choosing from the list and every time they errored out as they were gone before after they added them to their cart but before they could confirm - we're talking 7-8 sets of seats. The one person who chose off the map actually got the seats, but maybe it was a coincidence.
Oh and anything you can do for a decent connection will save you even more irritation - my daughter's dorm wifi stinks and it did not help her frustration!
And definitely don't log into multiple devices! One person was logged into their laptop and at some point logged in with their phone. When they finally got to the front of the line after 5 HOURS they errored out due to the multiple devices.

That was a frustrating process from start to finish. Went into waiting room at 9:30 and at 4:55 I was able to pick seats. Finally around 4:20 I had seats. Every time I picked seats it would say it was securing the seats and eventually got a message saying someone else already got them.
Not exactly the seats I would have picked but after about 15 minutes I was just selecting whatever I could.

I had a presale code and ended up with nothing. 🙁 Started off by looking at the seating map, then just started clicking on best available. I saw the “sorry, another fan has purchased these tickets” about 500 times yesterday. What a mess.
I thought this was supposed to keep the bots and resellers out, but tickets are already on third party sites at astronomical prices. Way to go, Ticketmaster. 😡

She had two laptops, two phones and an Ipad going. She got tickets about 8 hours later and decent ones! I am actually surprised. What's going to be left for the rest of the world after this? I can't imagine much. What a shi*tshow.

She eill try the CapitalOne presale, but she feels as there eill be nothing left bu the time it opens to her. I guess general sales will have two tickets left

My husband sat online all day for us in the queue and we got 4 tickets! I'm taking my 2 high school age nieces (along with my SIL) to their first concert! So excited! They're nosebleeds, but it's fine!

My daughter had the presale code for Seattle and I think it was 8 hours later she got the tickets. What a disaster.

Hours spent on Tuesday and Wednesday with nothing to show for it. Then today they cancel the general sale. The mantra through my head currently...."It is just a concert. It will be ok. It is just a concert. It will be ok. DAMN IT!! DAMN IT!!! It is just a concert. It will be ok."
What a mess. I am so disappointed. I really wanted to make it happen for my DD (13) at either of the Seattle dates. She is just such a great kid, works hard, never complains, always willing to do more than her part and I was imagining what Christmas morning would have been like. I am so happy for those that were able to get tickets that really wanted to go see the show. For those that bought to turn around and resell for obscene amounts, they suck. A lot.

Did you get tix tallgirl ? Can’t believe general sale is cancelled - what a mess! Well, maybe? I didn't get selected for Verified Fan and I got a great spot in the queue for the Capital One presale... with my brand new Capital One card... only to find out that Canadian cardholders were ineligible from the sale. It was a sad day. As soon as the general sale was canceled, like within 10 minutes, I hopped on Stubhub and bought a pair of tickets. I paid about 2.25 times face value and the same tickets now are going for 2-3 times as much as I paid, so I'm glad I pulled the trigger on them (even though I have NEVER paid that much for a ticket before and am still angry that that's what it has come to). But the ticket transfer deadline isn't until 24 hours before the show. I'm not worried about the money because I know Stubhub will give me a refund if the sale falls through, but I am worried about being left without a ticket at all. Does anyone have experience with this? I've heard Stubhub will give you another seat to the show, but what if they are 100% sold out? Would they give me tickets to the following night or to another leg of the tour that is still somewhat close to home, do you think, if my paid-for tickets don't materialize?

Swift must have a master publicity person. The cynic in me says all this brewhaha did what it was supposed to do. EVERYONE wants tickets now and are willing to pay big buck for them..

I actually think she’s genuinely remorseful about the whole thing. While I think she is very motivated to break records, she has always done a lot to engage with her fans, more than most artists.
I wish they’d done the boost thing like they did for the Reputation tour. It seemed a more effective way to ensure that loyal fans got presale access rather than this tour where anyone, scalpers included, could sign up.
