I paid £110 for GA standing which I think is seriously good value for a Paramore support and a 3+ hour set from arguably the biggest pop star on the planet. 

I was pleasantly surprised at how "cheap" general standing is, was fully expecting 150-160.

Yup and if anyone has seen the stage design, light show and pyro they're using, it would also be more understandable.

I'm also gonna guess there will be a 2nd support act, who also has to get paid in some regard. I also paid £110 for GA, which is about £30-40 less than I thought it was going to be, even before Paramore.

Blimey, there'll be more posters off of efests going to see Swiftie next year than there will be going to Glasto

After hearing all these horror stories from the US and assuming dynamic pricing would be in effect, I was worried about paying £150-200 for shite seats. 

[fraybentos1]

170 for front standing was fine by me. It’s a day out and a once in a lifetime thing for me. Obviously Suprefan will be gutted we didn’t all have to pay 500 dollar for shite seats. Pleasantly surprised there was no dynamic pricing

While stadium prices are ridiculous, how many times do you see a Stadium gig? My last one was around 2016. I put little bits of money to the side for this since Eras tour US announced. 

Paramore are playing on this tour and if you wanted to see them on tour recently its £45+. 

Then her show is 3+ hours. Its also the staging, the lighting, the pyro, the dancers. 

Is it ridiculous?? of course but if people are able to justify it for an artist they like, thats also okay. 

One of the most in demand tours ever, a 3 hour set, AND support from Paramore (which really didn’t need to happen at all, it could have any schmo) is good value for the ticket based on the current market imo. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yep honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if the support had been tiny or non-existent. Taylor will have to be on stage for about 19:30 to get the whole show in before the UK’s idea of curfew, so Paramore are gonna be on very early. It’s a great bonus but definitely wasn’t needed to shift any tickets.

No-one tell @balti-pie about the free tickets... 😬

Bleh, they were right up in the gods, sitting at an upper tier of a stadium gig is about as good as watching a live feed of it - good on anyone getting in for £2.75 or whatever it was

I would be very happy if she sneaks Maisie Peters in as another support. Before Paramore were announced she was who I would have had my money on, being very much inspired by Taylor, but more because of being a friend-of-a-friend via Ed.

Liverpool doors are 4pm and Wembley is at 4:45. So not sure if there is time for a second support.

No I reckon Paramore go on at 6-7 then Taylor 7:30/45 ish

[Drinky]

She’s been averaging 3h 20 in the US, so that would mean a stage time of 7.30 on nights with an 11pm curfew and 7pm on Sundays.

That would put Paramore on at 6.15-7pm (they’ve been solid on a 30 mins setup before Taylor) or 5.45-6.30pm on Sundays.

So I reckon there’s a chance of a second support doing 30 mins from 5.15-5.45pm.

That’d be very empty on the weeknight shows. Rather see Paramore do a longer set tbh.

It would seem a bit redundant to book a third support when you’ve already gone for Paramore, for a tour that was effectively sold out before a ticket went on sale. I’d say give Paramore an hour and call it a day. Id be more than happy with an extra support, but I just can’t see the sense.

Does Taylor do 3 hours+ straight too? Pretty impressive if so. 
Nerves have started for our sale tomorrow.

Did anyone who actually purchased the album, not no purchase necessary route, end up on TM?

I did. And it was an absolute breeze compared to most people's experiences with AXS on here by the sounds of it.

Every night. Short breaks for costume changes and setups between eras but it’s 40+ songs to fit in

Ticketmaster for me tomorrow. Sounds like that’s the easier of the 2? Not that I have a choice anyway.

I found axs easy to use but that’s the site I used for Madonna earlier this year. 
 

a lot of people would have already used their codes so it might not be so bad. Anything in top 5000 should land you a chance for standing, top 10000 should get you in by the looks of think.

Nobody can really say which is easier. In theory the numbers are split 50/50 so they should be the same.

TM does at least tell you your position in the queue though, whereas on AXS you've got no idea where you stand until the hope gradually drains away.

I guess it’s a question of how many people used their codes for Wembley and how many have been waiting for Cardiff specifically. I want standing but think I’d be happy with any seating as long as it’s not one of the ones to the side/behind the stage.
Tricky part is I’m in charge of buying for our group and they haven’t really given me a maximum spend other than “not much more than standing costs”. But then if for example I get in for some £150 seats would they really not want me to get them for the sake of £40? Not like I’ll struggle to get rid of whatever I buy if they don’t want them anyway I guess.

The benefit of Cardiff could well be that people have panic bought tickets for less convenient locations already, added with it being the least appealing show due to the day and the location being weird whereby it’s either really not convenient, or if it is convenient you’re still close enough to London to make that trip on a weekend. It might just end up being locals gunning for it.

But technically cant you use your code more than once or has nobody on here done that yet. Or it has not become true public knowledge and then TM would close the loophole. Happened with Madonna when one single paid fan club code got out into the open and it was valid on unlimited purchases so a lot of people got tickets without any issue.

 

If taylor was going to have more support acts they wouldve been announced. The u.s leg had every single support  act on the tour poster before onsales occurred. Although it has been a disservice to not have announced Paramore until just a few days ago. A lot of fans are really upset they dont get a proper euro tour from them now and have to try to get tickets this way and some didnt have codes or verified so theyre left out in the dust.
