It’s no exaggeration to say that millions of Taylor Swift fans were left heartbroken in June when tickets to her 2024 Australian Eras Tour shows completely sold out in a matter of hours.
And then again in early November when the limited amount of “partially-obstructed view” seats were snapped up even faster.
But devoted fans have one last chance to get their hands on tickets to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour’s Australian shows on Ticketek Marketplace from 10am AEDT on November 24 – here’s what to know.

What is Ticketek Marketplace?
Ticketek Marketplace is an official reselling platform that connects the seller and buyer – and offers protection from scammers for both.
The website states that resale tickets are capped 10 per cent above face value, which helps prevent ticket scalping or sales at ridiculous amounts.
General tickets for the Eras Tour originally ranged from $79 to $379, although some VIP packages originally ranged from $349 to $1249.

“Every ticket exchanged is reissued into the name of the new owner and guarantees fans entry to their event,” the website reads.
The original barcode on tickets is cancelled and Ticketek will re-issue the barcodes to concertgoers closer to the performance dates in February 2024.
“The original ticket will become void to ensure you are the only holder of the ticket. Marketplace is the only place you can trust to verify that the Ticketek ticket is valid to ensure you are guaranteed entry at the time of the event,” Ticketek Marketplace reads.
There have been reports that customers who have purchased tickets from unauthorised resellers including Buy, Sell, Swap pages, Viagogo, eBay and Gumtree will not gain access into the venue.

What to do after you get Taylor Swift tickets
For many fans, getting a concert ticket is only half the battle won.
Given the Bad Blood singer is only performing in two cities, hoards of ‘Swifties’ have already set their sights on the next task – securing hotels and flights to get them there.
The surge in demand (+9400 per cent for some properties!) has seen a host of hotels already fully booked, and flights selling fast.
