    Do you want to get tickets for the Eras Tour in Indianapolis? there is still hope

    Sakege Posted on

    On Thursday night, Taylor Swift Fans repeatedly clicked the Refresh button on Ticketmaster page in New Orleans for the Eras Tour, hoping to get a spot in line for last-minute concert tickets.

    The organizers of Swifties want tickets sent an alert to your Discord channel when the queue opened.

    As fans crossed their fingers and prayed they wouldn’t be kicked out of line, the final passes to the Caesars Superdome were purchased.

    Last-minute waivers happen at every show. The timing of releases is sporadic, but experts who have been following the tour and surprise releases for more than a year say there are signs that a ticket purge is imminent.

    “Some of the markers we use include the stage,” says Swifties Want Tickets member Abby. The group members withheld their last names for privacy reasons and because they want to ensure that fans access their channel instead of addressing them directly. “The drop is strongly tied to how many additional seats can fit on the floor and what sections they can open to avoid obstructed views.”

    Swifties Want Tickets could be considered the Eras Tour ticket delivery investigators. They have sources inside all the stadiums that send photos when the stages are almost completely set up. This allows the venue to re-evaluate whether it can place more chairs on the floor or sell more seats with obstructed views.

    Although Europe, Asia and Australia had different systems, ticket drops in Miami and New Orleans this month have been similar to those. first year of the Eras Tour when Swift traveled to 20 cities in the United States. And Swifites Want Tickets anticipates the same formula will be used for the latest American shows in Indianapolis.

    “It usually happens the day before the concert,” Abby says. “In Miami, we got live updates from a handful of different people who work at Hard Rock Stadium. They sent us pictures of how the stage setup was going.”

    Miami had some surprise drops. A Wednesday night, a Thursday morning and another before the concert on Friday. Swifties Want Tickets sent out social media alerts on X, Instagram, and Discord. New Orleans also had surprise drops Thursday night and Friday before the show.

    Trying your luck with last minute tickets to surprise a fan

    After the interview Swifties want tickets members after the shows in Miami, I tried to catch the surprise drop on the Thursday before the shows in New Orleans. Around 5 p.m., the group sent out a tweet: “We have received details from our sources saying there will be no drop until at least 5 p.m. CT, but that may change.” I set up alerts for their accounts and waited for the tweet that said, “LET’S GO.” Within seconds, I clicked on Ticketmaster and entered the queue.

    I was 457th in line.

    The number counted down, and within 10 minutes, I was able to choose from a variety of last-minute tickets. I clicked on the first option I saw without really registering where the seat was for fear of being kicked out or losing my spot. The next page showed a $49 bill in restricted view. I closed the seat and, with tax, paid $68.

    Fast forward to Friday night’s show.

    “I tried to get tickets and it didn’t work out,” says Tiffany Bell, 28, a New Orleans resident standing outside the Caesars Superdome in a sparkly silver dress and black boots. “I thought, ‘I’m going to take a trip downtown because the vibes are perfect.'”

    Bell was talking to Amelia Strahan, WWL TV reporter near the west entrance about 20 minutes before Gracie Abrams came on stage when I asked her if she had a ticket. The super fan had never seen the Eras Tour and decided to come to the stadium every night in the hopes of getting a last minute seat from someone who ventured in.

    “Would you like to go to the Eras Tour?” I asked him, and after a moment to process the question, he jumped up shouting, “Yes.”

    Although the ticket I bought had restricted vision, Bell didn’t care. Tears filled her eyes. I couldn’t believe I was going to see the dazzling and in-demand show.

    “I love (Swift), a woman who speaks her mind and stands up for the people she believes in,” Bell says. “We’re lucky at this time in history to have so many famous women willing to stand up for themselves.”

    There’s still hope for Indy shows

    Depending on the stage configuration, there will likely be a last-minute delivery of thousands of tickets to the various shows inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The first drop could occur on Wednesday night. Hopeful fans should follow Swifties Want Tickets. But keep in mind that word has spread about the group. His X account has more than 103,000 followers.

    The group’s main goal is to attract more fans to the show and educate Swifties about the ticketing process.

    “There’s definitely a dynamic where scalpers know more than fans about how to get tickets because it’s their full-time professional job to know everything about how to do it,” says group member Amy. “This is gratifying. People say, ‘Why are you doing it for free?’ And I’m like, ‘because it’s the community I’m in. I love the people I work with and I love being able to give back to other Swifties.'”
