Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: tickets for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour went on sale, and things went poorly on Ticketmaster, causing major headaches and a suspended sale.
Ticketmaster France was the victim of the Swiftie internet hug of death this time, collapsing in similar fashion to its North American counterpart last fall when the current run of shows went up for grabs.
“Some of you may be having issues with the site this morning – we are working on it and will let you know.” An hour into the sale started, with reportedly no movement in the queue, the company announced it was suspending both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. sales.
“The Taylor Swift sale | The 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Eras Tour for Paris La Défense Arena has been put on hold. We will keep you posted with a new on-sale time as soon as possible. All codes not already used will remain valid,” Ticketmaster tweeted.
Last fall, Ticketmaster fell under significant fire after the disaster of the original Taylor Swift Eras Tour sales process, prompting an angry response from the singer herself, and leading to a hearing in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee for Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
Notably, despite claims that the entire run was sold out during that initial sale, it has become glaringly obvious that a huge percentage of tickets to each show were held back by promoters, and have since been dripped on to the market for each show, up to and including after the show has begun. It is all a part of the “slow ticketing” process, designed to heighten consumer perception that an event is sold out, in order to keep prices from collapsing (as they famously did during Swift’s Reputation tour).
It is unclear what Ticketmaster France will do in the wake of this latest failure, or if it will impact other international sales for the global phenomenon that is The Eras Tour, which is reportedly raking in nearly $15 million per show based on Pollstar data.
