Taylor Swift Eras Tour: UK pre-sale tickets go live today | Ents & Arts News
The first batch of tickets for the UK leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour go on pre-sale today.
Tickets for three shows at BT Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and two of her six shows at Wembley Stadium in London go live for those who registered last month using a special pre-sale code.
Swift fans who participated in the UK pre-order offer for her album Midnights should all have received a code via email.
Pre-sale tickets for the remainder of her UK shows will be released on Tuesday and Wednesday.
There has been a staggered release of the pre-sale tickets in a bid to avoid website crashes as fans rush to secure access to Swift’s UK shows.
However, access to the pre-sale doesn’t guarantee a ticket purchase and each fan is limited in the number of tickets they can buy – capped at four tickets each.
Tickets go on general sale on Monday 17 July.
Swift, 33, will kick off the European leg of her tour in May 2024, playing 13 shows across the UK in total.
She had initially been scheduled to play 10 UK dates, but added three dates earlier this month due to “phenomenal demand”.
Other European stops in her tour include Paris, Stockholm, Amsterdam and Vienna.
Shows in the US sold out almost instantly when they went on sale last year, with fans left battling tech issues after the Ticketmaster website was overwhelmed by demand, resulting in an investigation into their system.
Swift began her Eras Tour in March in Arizona, and will cross five continents performing over 130 shows.
Her sets of more than 40 songs a night, with “secret songs” and special guests, has so far earned her praise from fans and critics alike.
Swift is joined by American band Paramore for the European leg of the tour.

The singer has recently re-recorded the majority of her back catalogue following a dispute with music manager Scooter Braun, who had previously owned and sold the rights to her master recordings.
