The concert ticket provider Ticketmaster has stopped the advance sale for the US stadium tour of superstar Taylor Swift (32).
“Due to exceptionally high demand on the ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet demand, tomorrow’s public advance ticket sale for Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour has been cancelled,” the company said on Twitter on Thursday.
The sale of tour tickets had already caused a stir this week. As the industry journal “Variety” and the “New York Times” reported, the servers for registered fans collapsed at the start of sales on Tuesday. Fans had to wait hours to get a ticket. Ticketmaster itself spoke on Twitter on Tuesday of a “historically unprecedented” demand, millions of fans would have wanted to get a ticket. Hundreds of thousands of tickets have been sold.
Swift announced the tour in early November. The tour, entitled “The Eras Tour”, is to combine her previous ten studio albums, the musician announced. “A journey through the musical epochs of my career (in the past and present)” is planned. To mark the announcement, Swift shared a colorful graphic showing images of her from all of these eras, from country album Taylor Swift (2006) to recent pop concept album Midnights. It was not initially known when “The Eras Tour” would come to Europe.
