As Taylor Swift’s US tour enters the resell catalog, die-hard fans speculate deception
Recent reports came in hot that United Airlines has seen a 25% spike in weekend flight demand whenever Taylor Swift takes the stage for her Eras Tour. And with US shows in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis just around the corner, the domestic buzz is also very real. Apparently, 70% of their flights are already booked solid, meaning fans are flocking to these concerts in droves.
With tickets from those same shows being resold left and right, some Swifties are naturally wondering: are these deals legit or just a bait-and-switch? However, with the resellers brandishing the screenshots and screen recordings of the booked tickets, the daze is as real as their concerns.

Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines has jumped on the Swiftie bandwagon, adding 10 extra flights just to keep up with the fan frenzy they saw last year. Since these moves are backed by real stats, it is hard to make amends that all this reselling is 100% legit because who would pass up the chance to see Taylor Swift work her magic? But with ticket scalping being a thing, it is clear there is more than one possibility at play here.
