Sad Swifties: Many Vancouver Taylor Swift fans miss out on Ticketmaster presale code

There are a lot of disappointed Taylor Swift fans around Metro Vancouver tonight after being waitlisted by Ticketmaster.

On Wednesday afternoon, Ticketmaster started sending out presale codes for the first show in Vancouver to randomly selected fans with authenticated registrations.

A few of the lucky ones received a unique code that allows them to enter the sale, however registration doesn’t guarantee everyone tickets.

And a quick glance at social media shows a lot of fans did not get the email they were hoping for.

Yeah, I’m not the least bit surprised. 😒 waitlisted.

My toxic trait is that I joined a lottery to try to give a billionaire hundreds of dollars but then I complain about the cost of green leaf lettuce.

Did you hit on the T-Swift ticket lottery? You can rub it in tonight at Personas for Smarty Pints Trivia. 7PM at the Grand Villa. pic.twitter.com/pBF9Mvv8vh

Woof. Only 1/10 of our T Swift crew got a chance at tickets. We need to start treating Taylor Swift tickets like a home and not speculative investments.

One person on Tiktok wasn’t quite sure why she was waitlisted, especially as she lives in the city where the concert will be taking place.

Not one of my 32 email addresses got an access code to buy a Taylor Swift Vancouver ticket. Sorry kid. Would you settle for Leanne Rimes??? pic.twitter.com/KdVdf3CHYq

Others hoped someone who did end up with a code would want to share if they weren’t planning to use.

Verified Fan Codes for Taylor Swift’s “THE ERAS TOUR” Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) have been SENT OUT!

– 👀If you got selected and are not planning to use your code, please DM ME to help get tickets for other SWIFTIES who have not attended a show yet! 🫶🫶

If you didn’t get presale codes to the first show, don’t give up hope of seeing Taylor Swift in Vancouver just yet.

Fans who have been waitlisted for the first show might still have a chance to buy tickets again for the second and third shows, similar to what they did in Toronto in terms of handling each concert fairly separately.

The concert ticket sale times are as follows:

• Friday, December 6, 2024 – Sale begins at 11 am
• Saturday, December 7, 2024 – Sale begins at 1 pm
• Sunday, December 8, 2024 – Sale begins at 3 pm
