Hi peas, I feel weird putting this out there but finally decided it can't hurt. I have a daughter who is desperate to get her hands on one of the Eras Tour blue crewneck sweatshirts. We won't be seeing Taylor Swift until July and we're attending an out of town show on Night 2. These sweatshirts are selling like hotcakes and as of right now, there are none available at the Night 2 shows because whatever shirts are allocated per city are selling out on Night 1. If anyone is going to Eras, will already be standing in a horrendous merch line anyway, and would be willing to pick one of these up for me and ship it to me, I would be forever grateful. I will of course pay for it and cover the shipping. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm in Canada - I know some people aren't comfortable shipping internationally. If you've read this far, thank you.  I thought it was bad enough trying to get tickets to this tour - I didn't think it would be a fiasco trying to get merch, too. |

Good luck. We went to night 1 in Vegas, got to the stadium close to doors opening, stood in the merch line for an hour, and that one was long gone (it was what my DD wanted also). Some of the merch you can order online but that one isn’t there. Best of luck!

Sorry, I know I can't help get one, but have you tried a notice/communication to Taylor Swift? She is very fan oriented. Put he a bit on the spot. She/they have time and means to order enough sweatshirts to clothe every girl in the country.
Good luck!

Some of the merch you can order online but that one isn’t there. Best of luck! My DD got in the merch line at 11 am for that evening’s concert (merch truck opens at noon on concert days). The merch line was 3 1/2 hours long. Lots of people were purchasing many multiples. DD said they are now putting limits on quantities (no more than 10 items, and no more than 2 of a single item per person). I guess some girl showed up at the merch line with a an empty suitcase and filled it up with those sweatshirts. If you do the early merch line, you’ll definitely have a good chance. |

You can go to the merch line before you go to the concert. It will be outside the stadium. The merch line here started at 8am Thursday (first concert was Friday) and you didn’t have to show tickets or anything to get in it.
So, I would suggest going the morning of the day of the merch opens in your area.

PSA: "Cure" any clothing items you buy by putting parchment over the text/image and hitting it with an iron. Lots of folks have reported quality issues after the first wash, and the theory is that they cranked out so much so fast that they didn't cure the screenprinting long enough. www.teenvogue.com/story/taylor-swift-eras-tour-merch-fading |

Thanks everyone who’s weighed in with help/suggestions. Unfortunately we’re going to the Saturday Cincinnati show, and we’re driving 5 hours to get there. So I can’t get into the merch line early to try for it. And weirdly enough, the online store has almost all tour merch… except this particular shirt. I’ve seen a number of knockoff shirts in Etsy shops but they don’t have the same distressed look to them and won’t cut it for my teen. I do live closer to Detroit and am considering trying to get into that merch line if I can arrange some time off work to be there and don’t need to use my June flex day for another purpose - but I’ll only do that if there are credible reports that the merch is available, and I won’t camp out for it. All of this and the logo will probably wash out after one wearing, if I don’t take precautions like SockMonkey suggested. SMH. |

I bet you can find her purchases on eBay for 10-15 times what she paid. Grrr! |

I honestly can't ask anyone to line up who isn't already going to be there for their own merch. But it's so nice of you to offer, thank you! |

Well damn, I had no idea the merch lines are going to be so terrible! If you don't find anyone bump this in July, we're going Day 1 and I have no doubt I'll be in line with my daughter.

And I'll also insane and beyond ridiculous that the one sweatshirt went rival - the hoodie is very similar and available online. It's just TikTok creating demand for something that isn't even that unique.
