Ticketek’s Taylor Swift Roll Out Was The Worst, Here Are The Best Reactions
If you’ve been waiting for ~one million years~ to purchase Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets for Sydney, you’re not alone. And while we attempt to get our tears under control over the absolute shitshow that Ticketek is, why not revel in our collective Swiftie devastation, through humour?
The popstar broke yet another record this morning, with over 800,000 Aussies joining ‘The Great War’ Ticketek queue, to try and grab some TSwift tickets. She’s playing three nights in Sydney in 2023 at the Accor Stadium, with the total capacity over those shows hitting around 250,000.
Guys, the stats aren’t looking good. The Amex pre-sale already took place on Monday, so a bunch of tickets were snapped up with the VIP packages. So, please join me, as I share all of the funniest tweets about this miserable day, which I’ll remember All Too Well.
The best (but also truly devo) tweets about trying to get Taylor Swift Australia tour tickets:

#ticketek – I hope you’re handing out free therapy after the amount of gaslighting you’re putting us through.

Please release me from this limbo hell if the Sydney presale tickets are already sold out. I need to move on with my life and process this grief. #ticketek

There is a deep dark place reserved in hell for those who thought giving hope in the form of a 10 second timer works better than a numbered queue #ticketek

my toxic trait is scrolling through #Ticketek and laughing at everyone while full well knowing ive been sitting in the lounge for over an hour stress crocheting

Respectfully if you are someone who gets tickets for multiple nights in Australia. There should be a grace period where you don’t tell us, cause the rest of us might be mourning not even getting one night. I don’t wanna hear it lol 🙉
Please & thank u #ticketek— She here (@Shehere10) June 28, 2023

I don’t know about you, but I’m now going to mentally prepare myself for both the Melbourne pre-sale and the general sale on Fri. If you’re in the same situ, I’ll leave you with this poignant Tay lyric about the Ticketek wait: “So it’s gonna be forever or it’s gonna go down in flames.”
