I Got Last-Minute Taylor Swift Eras Tour Tickets & You Can Too

The great war is not just a Taylor Swift song, but what Swifties have been battling ever since tickets for the Eras Tour went on sale. However, you shouldn’t give up just yet. Instead of shaking it off, there are ways to get last-minute tour tickets. I should know, because I did it.

You’ve likely seen influencers who have been to multiple concerts while checking StubHub for resale tickets, and wondering how they are able to afford everything. With Swift recently kicking off the international leg of her tour, you have to factor in flights and hotel accommodations as well. Being a Swiftie is not cheap, but there are budget-friendly — and even free! — ways to get tickets. You just have to be willing to work for them.

Below, you’ll find all the methods to getting last-minute tickets to the Eras Tour — even some contests that will get you there for free and in style.

I Went The StubHub Route For My Eras Tour Tickets

This may be the more expensive route to secure last-minute Swift tickets, but it is the most accessible. If you’re banking prices going down, don’t! It used to be that you could refresh Ticketmaster or StubHub for resale tickets at a decent price a few hours before a show, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore. Now, you’ll see tickets with partial views and in the worst sections that are still overpriced after a concert has started.

It’s a gamble you may not be willing to play. Instead, set a price range for yourself that you’d be willing to spend on tickets. The week before your show, keep refreshing sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, and even Gametime for resale tickets that are in that range. I set a price I was willing to pay before taxes and fees, and finally found one ticket while randomly checking StubHub right before bed. It can happen at any time of the day, so you have to be ready for it.

If you see something you’re willing to buy, go for it. You don’t want to be wishing you would’ve, could’ve, should’ve bought them once they’re gone. Just be mindful that certain international dates have rules on resale tickets.

Cities with a “lead booker” policy in place means those tickets are non-transferable, and the person who bought them must be present at the gate.

Ticketmaster May Drop Extra Tickets Before The Show, Too

Swifties have bad blood with Ticketmaster after they poorly handled the presale and canceled the general sale for The Eras Tour. During the U.S. leg of the tour, the company was also magically finding last-minute tickets to shows the week of and sometimes an hour after a show started. For anyone who doesn’t mind being glued to their computer and hitting the refresh button nonstop, you may want to keep checking Ticketmaster for spontaneous drops in 2024.

Some Swifties who were selected for verified fan presale have also reported that Ticketmaster has been sending out codes at least two weeks before each show as well for additional tickets. Just remember codes are tied to each Ticketmaster account, so if it wasn’t sent to you, you may not be able to use it.

Swifties on Twitter will let other fans know when Ticketmaster drops extra tickets, so it’s best to follow different accounts and turn on your notifications. One Twitter account that has been really great about keeping Swifties informed is Eras Tour Resell (@ErasTourResell).

You Can Find Fellow Swifties Selling Their Tickets At Face Value

Eras Tour Resell has been doing the lord's work helping Swifties find tickets that aren’t a scam. Through their account, sellers can list extra tickets for The Eras Tour so that other Swifties can buy them instead of scalpers. They make sure to verify their listing, and encourage everyone to buy and sell their tickets for face value. While this is probably the cheapest way to buy last-minute Swift tickets, it is incredibly difficult.

Once a ticket is verified, Eras Tour Resell will tweet out all the information and who to DM to get it. Since their account has become so popular with nearly 231K followers, you have to be ready to jump on each post as soon as it goes up. That means you need to set Twitter notifications and have your phone on you at all times. Even if you are the first person to DM the seller, it’s not a guarantee they’ll pick you. The account also prioritizes tickets for shows that week, so if you’re looking for a concert next month, you probably won’t see it for awhile.

In addition to Swiftie resale accounts, look around Twitter, Craigslist, or even put a call out on your socials for tickets from other fans. Content creator and Swiftie Francis Dominic (@francisdominiic) has been to at least 12 shows already. When asked by one of his followers how he’s able to go to so many, he responded, “Ticketmaster, OfferUp, Twitter, Craigslist, and IG. I exhaust all of my resources.” The only downside to random resellers is you don’t have Eras Tour Resell to verify you’re not getting ripped off.

Lucky Ones Can Enter A Contest For Eras Tour Tickets

The cheapest way to snag last-minute Swift tickets is to win a contest. You’ve probably seen quite a few social media contests where you have to like, follow, and comment on an IG post in order to win tickets. While you may think the odds aren’t in your favor, there is still a chance.

Anna Tegarden (@taylormermaidcat) won tickets to one of Swift’s shows in Tampa, which is how she was able to see all three nights of the Eras Tour in Florida. Tegarden shares with Elite Daily, “I’m constantly entering contests and trying to win tickets. I’ll read the fine print to see if it’s an enter daily contest, or just a one-time entry.” She won her tickets through a radio contest where she had to call into a station after hearing two Swift songs in a row.

Say Hello To London With Unforgettable Travel’s VIP Giveaway

While Swift may be saying “So Long, London” on The Tortured Poets Department, you could be saying hello, thanks to Unforgettable Travel. The company has a Taylor Swift VIP Weekender Giveaway that will get you front row tickets to the Aug. 17 Eras Tour show at Wembley Stadium.

In addition to the two tickets, the winner will receive flights to London, a two-night stay at Savoy Hotel, a guided tour of Swift’s favorite spots, £600 (or roughly $750) of spending money, Eras Tour merch, and dinner at Sketch, one of Tay’s go-to restaurants.

To enter, fill out the form now through March 31. Follow @unforgettabletravelcompany on Instagram and comment on their pinned post for an additional entry. The winner will be announced on April 1, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare for your show in August.

With all these methods, finding a ticket to the Eras Tour is like a part-time job. You have to be willing to work hard, keep your phone with you at all times, and always be on the lookout. If you really want to scream-sing the bridge to “Cruel Summer,” admire Swift twirling in her folklore dress, and be there as she plays your fave song during the surprise acoustic set, let the ticket games begin.
