Swifties

Forums:

It is funny to see mainstream media get all outraged because of the Ticketmaster experience for the Taylor Swift tour. AOC has said they need to be broken up.

Saw that!   Maybe Swifties will start their own PAC.

TayTay oughtta be more evolved than using those guys anymore 

From today's Houston Chronicle.....

A new car? A luxury vacation for the family? Or a ticket to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour?

Those are the decisions you'll have to make if you take up some of the resale offers currently available for Swift's upcoming Houston show.

Stub Hub, the popular resale site, has tons of tickets already on sale. The top price for Houston? $33,750 for one ticket in Section H, Row 1 at NRG Stadium. You read that correctly.

By comparison, the "ULTIMATE FRONT ROW PACKAGE" is a relative bargain at $18,000 each.

Yikes

 

94 Grand a Piece For Up Front Tickets in Vegas.

Sounds lucrative, thinking about vending on TS tour.

Ice cold Sammies, $200.00 each, 3 for $500.00.

 

Sounds like she's due for performing a free concert in a park somewhere.

Billboard predicts that Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” to become the #1 highest grossing female touring artist in history dethroning Madonna’s record stating $591M from US dates alone.

“When Taylor Swift sells the remaining 170,000 tickets for her 52-date Eras tour later this month, the U.S. trek will have generated $591 million in sales, Billboard estimates. The average ticket price is $215, according to concert business sources.

This total will make Swift the highest-grossing female touring artist of all time, according to the Billboard Boxscore chart, topping current title holder Madonna whose Sticky & Sweet Tour (of 2008 and 2009) currently holds the No. 1 slot with a gross of $407 million.

Swift's U.S. tour will also put her in fourth place on the all-time Top Tours chart, which is currently led by Ed Sheeran, whose 2017-2019 Divide shows grossed a total of $776.2 million.”

A swiftie was what we used to call when someone came up behind you and grabbed your balls!

Thought the Swifties were the guys who tubed John Kerry's presidential candidacy 

This is what I think of when I think of Swifties: "The thermostat is set too high," said Tom heatedly.

A Tom Swifty is a play on words taking the form of a quotation ascribed to Tom and followed by an adverb, as described on this site:

"These ticket prices are way too high !" said Tom swiftly.

Can someone get me a ticket for tyler Childers and Charley Crockett?

The Swifties are camping out, not for tickets, for merchandise, 3 shows this weekend in Philly>>>

Taylor Swift fans wait in long lines for new merchandise ahead of Eras Tour at Lincoln Financial Field.  "I've been here since 2 a.m., so we got what we wanted," said one fan. Thursday was all about "Style" as fans waited in line for hours for new merchandise.  Some even camped out overnight. 

 "This is nothing compared to what I had to do to get tickets. That was the worst day of my life but I got them,"

The "Store" is on site in the parking lot of the stadium.

is there a taper section? 

I guess with cell phones the taper section is everywhere. I wonder if some people sneak in good mics and recorders.

Do people smoke weed at the Swift show? Or is it just soccer moms eating edibles (since they are driving carpool.)

 

Schuman complained by direct message to StubHub saying, "We aren't even guaranteed to get tickets. How do you tell a 13-year-old that?"

StubHub replied, "Regrettably, we are required to follow our policies...the section you purchased has gone up three times what you paid. We can't issue replacements. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee tickets."

"They said they have no control,'' Schuman said. ...it's the seller. It's coming from the seller"

My daughters and granddaughters and all their little friends are Swifties. They have  done lots of strategies to procure tickets in various cities of the nation.

Back when I was their age we had to camp out all night in front of the record store, only to learn in the morning that New Year's Eve was already sold out. 

Later, we had to buy money orders and fill out file cards and self addressed stamped envelopes, and maybe a few weeks further along the envelope would come back with an uncashed money order, or maybe the Grateful Dead tickets that we craved.

 

Did ya see all the folks Tay-gating? Imagine showing up without a ticket to just dance in the parking lot.

Time to break out the Kind Veggie Burrito bus and make some $$$$$$$.

Maybe some ice cold frosty balloons too?  Filled with oxygen?

^^^^"They said they have no control,'' Schuman said. ...it's the seller. It's coming from the seller"^^^^

This story Roarshock posted has a happy ending tho as it sounds like StubHub stepped up and got this family the tickets desired w/o any additional cost:

"An hour and a half (after contacting ABC7), I got a phone call from StubHub,'' Schuman recalled. "They were gonna help me out."

StubHub came through with four seats in a section similar to their good seats nearer the stage -- for no extra cost."

 

I got lucky and am taking my 11 year old daughter to the Santa Clara gig on 7/29.

"im the problem" or whatever the title, is clever, honest, and cool

>During the second night of Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour mini-residency at Lincoln Financial Field, the singer interrupted “Bad Blood” — a song literally about righting someone else’s wrongs — to chastise security guards who were allegedly getting too rough with a fan.

It all went down in the blink of a chorus on Saturday night, according to one video that’s been viewed more than 6 million times on Twitter: When a group of security guards at the Linc were allegedly harassing a group of female fans for touching the barricade, Swift paused the song to address them.

“She’s fine. She wasn’t doing anything,” Swift said in between bars. “Hey! Stop!”...

..the security guard was escorted off the premises after the comments.

 

 

 

>> Pretty cool that she told the Philly security guards to leave her fans alone.. <<

 

Agreed. Philly cops/security are goons.

That said, did you notice she was both singing the song AND yelling at security simultaneously. I'm not saying she isn't singing (the mic was live) but there's a very produced of her lead vocals being fed into the mix as she sings. I doubt her fans care.
