Taylormania has well and truly swept across Sydney in anticipation of her four shows at Accor Stadium (if you’re one of the lucky ones who actually have tickets, here’s everything you need to know in preparation). With the megastar having touched down in the Harbour City on Monday (and visiting one of our favourite restaurants as well as Sydney Zoo twice), and social media and news sites swamped with T-Swizzle content, it’s hard not to feel a sense of FOMO if you couldn’t nab tickets.
By no means are we saying that the odds are in your favour of snagging a pass to the Eras Tour ticket via resale, but it’s not impossible, either… (After all, a brand-new release of first-sale tickets even went up on Ticketek as recently as Thursday, the day before her first Sydney show! Who's to say people who snapped up tickets in a mad rush won't try to resale over the next few days?)
Here’s your guide to the resale marketplace (and how to avoid getting scammed)...
When is Taylor Swift playing in Sydney for the Eras Tour?
Taylor is playing four shows in Sydney at Accor Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park: every night from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.
How do I get Taylor Swift tickets Sydney?
If you missed scoring tickets in the final ticket release that went live at 4pm on Thursday, February 22, your (safest) last chance at grabbing tickets is through resale on the Ticketek Marketplace site.
How do I avoid getting scammed when buying Taylor Swift Sydney resale tickets?
The only official site to purchase resale tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is Ticketek Marketplace. Fair warning – you will most likely get stuck in the waiting lounge for a long time. It seems that half of Sydney is waiting on a last-minute miracle, but hey, it’s worth a shot. You can access the resale site here.
While this is the safest option, there are other ticket resale sites like Ticket Merchant and Tixel. Ticket Merchant strongly warns against purchasing from outlets like Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree. They say to make sure you’re searching sites that have verified payment options like Google Pay and PayPal.
To safeguard yourself, you can also check reviews for the website you’re buying from and, while it’s illegal for ticket resalers to list ticket prices for profit, if the price is too good to be true, then it probably is. Better safe than sorry.
