Eras Tour Guide: Here’s How to Become a Verified Taylor Swift Superfan From an Unrecognized Swiftie

Published 10/25/2024, 4:12 AM EDT

Taylor Swift is that unstoppable force of nature whose talent is as much about the skills as it is about the sheer power of her fan army, loyal through every era. Not every fandom rolls out the welcome mat for Swifties, but if one were to ask Swift, she likes to keep them high on a pedestal. However, with the Eras Tour inching closer to its final bow, fans everywhere are in a ticket frenzy, diving headfirst into the verified superfan perks just for one last chance to scream every lyric live. 

While these are just what the Swifties' dreams are made of, here is the inside scoop on how they could make the most of it before Eras Tour calls the curtain.

When Taylor Swift announced a new set of North American Eras Tour dates last year for 2024, fans were brainstorming their all to snag those tickets. However, since the initial on-sale was fraught with frustration from Swifties who could not get their hands on the tickets, Ticketmaster implemented a controlled rollout of on-sales through its Verified Fan program. Unfortunately, the Verified Fan registration program was only accessible till August 5, 2023, making those perks now out of reach.

The time stamp then did not matter as long as the registration was before the window closed. Registered fans were supposed to receive an email on August 8, confirming whether they had been randomly chosen for a sale or placed on a waitlist. The organizers offered Verified Fan On Sales and VIP packages separately. Although selected fans with verified Ticketmaster accounts received a unique access code to purchase tickets within a set window, the high demand for tickets meant that having a code did not guarantee a ticket.

Fans attempting to access the Verified Fan program benefits now see a message reading, “Sorry, tickets are not currently available online.” But for those still hoping to snag tickets, there is one more way to try.

Original tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour sold out long ago for international and domestic dates. All the US show tickets were reportedly sold out via Ticketmaster, while selective host nations opted for different services. However, fans can still find tickets available for resale on websites like StubHub and Vivid Seats, though at an increased rate than the originals. 

StubHub lists UK tickets with a note that terms prohibit resale through unauthorized channels, meaning tickets might not be valid for entry. However, StubHub assures buyers with its FanProtect Guarantee. When Swift’s North American leg of the Eras Tour was inching closer this year, a massive trend of ticket touting took over social media. But since then, the Eras Tour has gotten a crucial update that might help fans steer clear of scams.
