The exceptional demand for tickets to Taylor Swift concerts all over the world brings a brand-new bill with it against ticket scalpers – at least a Brazilian lawmaker made an effort last week, introducing “the Taylor Swift law” bill as referred. Simone Marquetto, a member of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies representing São Paulo, where Swift will perform three shows, proposed it just after Taylor’s additional dates for “Eras Tour” were announced.
The pop star revealed 42 international tour dates in Europe, Asia and Australia, all of which expand through 2024. Last week she added new shows to her schedule, unveiling an extensive concert lineup that includes two nights in Rio de Janeiro and three in São Paulo, with a total of eight shows across Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina in November. Simone Marquetto has taken a precaution against ticket scalpers ahead of the Eras Tour’s Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo leg – as the bill will criminalize ticket scalping, leading to four years in prison along with fees up to 100 times the original ticket price if passed.
“I have an 11-year-old at home, and this is all they’re talking about at school. I received many requests to do something and decided to present this bill,” she told the Brazilian newspaper Estadão (via NBC).
Marquetto stated that she had obtained the necessary signatures to expedite her bill and would present it alongside the national secretary for consumer protection.
The ticket sales process for the massively popular tour has been enormously controversial the entire way, as Swift’s initial sales process for Eras Tour dates in the fall of 2022 was marred by terrible system meltdowns on Ticketmaster and the complete cancellation of any public general ticket sale. Swift fans have filed lawsuits, and been subject to enormous stress as shows have approached, due to Ticketmaster releasing small batches of held-back tickets throughout the days and weeks as shows approached, creating an ecosystem of eagle-eyed fans on social media alerting others when tickets are dripped out, only to be scooped up almost immediately by fans hoping to attend.
While obtaining and affording tickets for Swift’s shows are still an issue to deal with, demand for them also seems to rise. Just the previous week it was announced that Taylor Swift had set a new attendance record at Acrisure Stadium when 73,117 fans made their way to the Pittsburgh venue, breaking a record previously held by Garth Brooks.
