Canadians slam Ticketmaster for "horrible experience" with Taylor Swift presale
Many Canadian Taylor Swift fans got a rude awakening during Wednesday’s Ticketmaster presale.
The presale began at 11 am for fans who could secure a Verified Fan code. Unfortunately, it looks like many Swifties in Canada were put on the waitlist.
Many were left in the dust during the sale and took to social media to voice their frustrations about Ticketmaster’s system.
“Would like to thank @Ticketmasterfor the horrible experience trying to get Taylor Swift
@taylorswift13 tickets for Toronto,” tweeted one fan. “After multiple times having tickets in cart and not being able to get the payment to process before time expired, they are now gone. Thanks a lot!”

At least that Swiftie got in the presale. Others never even got off the waitlist, and tickets are already being resold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Many questioned why Canadian fans seemed to struggle to emerge from what some Swifties have dubbed “The Great War” successful.
having a 416 number and getting waitlisted for Toronto… Ticketmaster is our biggest opp

Provinces should be guaranteed a number of Taylor Swift Toronto tickets, like the provision of Senate seats in Parliament, to ensure weāre all represented.

Others are even blaming non-Canadian Swifties for their loss.
The gluttonous Americans ruined the Taylor Swift Eras Tour Toronto wait list for everyone in Canada š
Yāall are literally the worst! Stay in your own country!

Last week, the “Cruel Summer” singer finally announced her Canadian Eras Tour dates.
It was met with disappointment from the rest of Canada, who didn’t love that all six shows are only in Toronto.
Since then, Swifties have tried to hilariously deter fans from other countries from copping tickets to the only shows in Canada.
Even before today’s presale, unofficial sites were selling Swift tickets for outrageous prices.
