A spokesperson for Accor Stadium has denied new Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets are being released after fans went into a frenzy on Thursday.
It was reported Accor Stadium would soon be selling category A and suite package tickets for the singer’s sold-out shows in Australia next year.
The news, featuring details of how fans could get their hands on tickets, was also shared on the Accor Stadium official website, but was seemingly pulled by management.
The spokesperson told 9Honey on Thursday: “We [Accor Stadium] have not announced any new tickets, nor do we know of any new tickets being released.”

It had been reported fans would have to purchase the tickets through reward points from Accor.
The website – now showing an error message – stated that general tickets would cost fans 12,000 rewards points. The sale was going to take place on October 3.
It comes after Swift announced she’s bringing her sold-out Eras Tour to cinemas.

The American singer, 33, made the huge announcement on Instagram last week and received almost six million likes on the post alone.
Fans will get a glimpse at touring life for Swift from October 13.
However, unfortunately for Aussie Swifties, it seems the theatre experience is only coming to screens in North America.
“The Eras Tour has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far and I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon,” Swift wrote in her announcement.
“Starting Oct 13th you’ll be able to experience the concert film in theaters in North America! Tickets are on sale now.
“Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged.”
Plenty of Aussie Swifties were left heartbroken in June when tickets to the Eras Tour completely sold out in a matter of hours.
A reported four million people were in the virtual queue to nab tickets and half a billion bots were kicked out of the queue by Ticketek.
Even with two pre-sales, a general sale, and added tour dates, millions of Australian Taylor Swift fans missed out on a chance to attend one of Swift’s concerts.
Some even lined up in Penrith at the Ticketek office in a bid to nab tickets, which they described as ‘ironic’ as it’s ”easier than buying them online”.
Devoted fans also have another chance to get their hands on Swift tickets through Ticketek Marketplace. The official resale date has not yet been shared after being rescheduled.
Swift, 33, is set to tour Australia in February and will play shows in both Sydney and Melbourne.
The website states that resale tickets are capped 10 per cent above face value, which helps prevent ticket scalping or sales at ridiculous amounts.
General tickets for the Eras Tour ranged from $79 to $379, although some VIP packages ranged from $349 – $1249.
When tickets went up for general sale two months ago, some fans were left delighted at nabbing a ticket, while others were up in arms.
For many fans, getting a concert ticket is only half the battle won.
Given the Bad Blood singer is only performing in two cities, hoards of ‘Swifties’ have already set their sights on the next task – securing hotels and flights to get them there.
The surge in demand (+9400 per cent for some properties!) has seen a host of hotels already fully booked, and flights selling fast. Read more about the huge uptick in demand at 9Honey Travel.
The issue of getting tickets has made one thing abundantly clear: Aussies bloody love Taylor Swift. And, as a resurfaced interview from 2014 proves, that love is reciprocal.
Nova has dug up an interview it did with the pop icon when she was Down Under promoting her 1989 album, and in it, she declares Australia one of her “favourite places to be”.
“There’s such amazing crowds and such amazing fans that I just want to thank them for making this a place that I come, and I feel very at ease here, very at home, because I feel like they understand what I’m trying to do,” she told the radio station.
In the US, a number of stars and even Swift’s celebrity friends have attended her concerts, including the likes of Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Laura Dern.
Swift, known for hits including Lover and Love Story, is playing 50 dates on her US tour and 50 dates internationally.
