Swifties, get ready.
Yesterday, it was announced there would be a limited number of tickets available for purchase to Taylor Swift‘s previously sold out Australian leg of the Eras Tour, and today fans are anxiously preparing for battle.
Since March, Australian fans have tuned in to grainy live streams and watched TikTok after TikTok of Swift’s US leg of the tour, patiently waiting for it to finally be our turn.

It wasn’t until June that the pop superstar announced that she would be bringing her highly-anticipated show Down Under, and it was then that chaos ensued.
Swift announced that the Eras Tour would visit only two cities in Australia, Melbourne and Sydney.
During the exclusive American Express presale on June 26, Swifties swarmed to the AmEx site with such ferocity the whole website crashed.
Just a few days later, throughout the Frontier Touring presale and the general public sale, fans were tormented by the site of the Ticketek waiting room plaguing their screen for hours.

There were less than 700,000 seats available for the Australian leg of the tour, and more than four million people trying to snag, at the very least, one – meaning those brave enough to enter the Ticketek queue were facing very slim odds.
Thankfully, for those who missed out, Frontier Touring has announced more tickets are being released today (November 11).
Tickets will be available to all seven of her Sydney and Melbourne shows, but they will be ‘obstructed view’ seats.
According to the Ticketek website, with partially-obstructed view tickets “you may not be able to see the entirety of the stage from your seat.”
However: “In some instances, side screens will be visible from these seats to help enhance the view.”
Going off of images from previous shows taken from ‘obstructed view’ seating, it seems as though you’ll still be able to see the majority of the runway and will hopefully have a screen to help you out for the rest – and hey, any seat is better than no seat, right?
According to Ticketek, the prices will be as follows:
Melbourne
D Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $199.90E Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $159.90F Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $119.90G Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $79.90
Sydney
C Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $239.90F Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $119.90G Reserve Side View – Partially Obstructed – $79.90
But getting these tickets won’t be easy, the demand is going to be high, and the supply is going to be much lower than the original sale.
Swifties, it’s time to set up your devices, get your finances in order, and prepare yourself to sit in that waiting room one more time.
Tickets to both shows will be available via Ticketek, Sydney shows will come on sale at 10am AEDT and Melbourne will be available from 4pm AEDT.
So to those preparing – good luck, we’ll see you on the other side.
