Taylor Swift announces '1989 (Taylor's Version)' at Eras Tour show in Los Angeles

Taylor Swift announces '1989 (Taylor's Version)' at Eras Tour show in Los Angeles
Yeah, I took from *** shirt she wore this fan's wildest dreams are coming true. I almost yelled out in the locker room did not do that. I held it back *** little bit, but I was absolutely so shocked and so excited that I got *** code, that code gave her the chance to buy tickets to Taylor Swift's New Toronto shows. It was actually quite stressful on the ticket master site because you click *** ticket, you go to purchase and then boom, it's someone already got the tickets, but she managed to get four spots. I know I want to bring my mom and I know we want to make *** little family trip out of it. And I just have so many friends who want tickets and we're really trying to get them. Other fans were never ever getting back together with *** ticket. So I obviously asked all my friends, all my family um just to like sign up for the presales and different dates since there are six tour dates. But yeah, all of us got waitlisted fans who hit that waitlist could be forced to buy from *** reseller with prices starting in the thousands of dollars. The prices are just way too expensive, way out of my budget. They go like three times the amount as what they should be one way around. That experts say if concert tickets like airline tickets could only be used by the person whose name is on them, you can access the venue only if you have *** ticket and an ID and *** too match. So that system would completely prevent result for profits because there is no way for this third party to slide in. But that could increase costs because everyone's ID would need to be verified. There are still concerts that haven't sold out yet. But if fans haven't already pre registered for their chance to buy, they'll face *** big blank space in their wallet from high reseller prices.
