More tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras tour have dropped just days before the superstar kicks off her Australian concerts and they’re some of the cheapest tickets yet.
The news couldn’t come at a better time after Swift made headlines yesterday when she appeared at the Super Bowl to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce win.
Frontier Touring announced on Tuesday morning that limited tickets, including restricted view tickets at $65.90, will go on sale this afternoon.

Additional tickets for Swift’s sold-out Melbourne shows will go on sale at 2pm AEDT on Tuesday, February 13.
Extra tickets for her Sydney dates will be available to purchase from 4pm AEDT on Tuesday, February 13, until allocations are exhausted.
All tickets can be purchased from taylorswift.ticketek.com.au.
Frontier Touring has not confirmed how many extra tickets will be available for each show, nor did it detail exactly what types of tickets will be available.
But for millions of Aussie Swifties who missed out on Eras Tour tickets when they went on sale last year, snagging a $65.90 restricted view seat will be like winning the lottery.

More than 4 million fans tried to buy tickets to the Eras Tour when they first went on sale in June 2023, breaking an Australian record in the process.
Less than half of them actually managed to snag a seat at the concerts at Accor Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), leaving millions of fans disappointed.
In response to the unprecedented demand, Frontier Touring released a round of extra tickets for the first time in November 2023.

Some 100,000 additional tickets for seats with “partially obstructed views” went on sale for just $79.99, with tickets for the Sydney show selling out in just 82 minutes.
Now Frontier Touring are doing it again and tickets to the shows are expected to sell out just as fast.
Many fans who didn’t get tickets last year have turned to ticket resales websites and online marketplaces in the hopes of securing a last-minute seat ahead of Swift’s shows, which kick off in Melbourne on Friday.
But experts have warned that Taylor Swift ticket scams are on the rise as her Eras Tour dates get closer and it’s costing Aussies thousands of dollars.

“This has been particularly prevalent in NSW and Victoria. We have received reports of tickets being sold on social media where accounts have been compromised by scammers,” a spokesperson for Scamwatch recently told 9honey.
They warned Swifties to be vigilant and avoid purchasing tickets outside of the official Ticketek Fan to Fan Marketplace, where Ticketek oversees legitimate ticket resales.
