Wife just texted that some of our family who lives 2000 miles away got a pre-sale code and they are coming in town and offered for my wife and daughter to go.


Just a heads up, the presale code guarantees absolutely nothing except that you will be able to log on to the TicketMaster site and be able to look at "current unsold inventory". That inventory may last 2 minutes or maybe just 45 seconds.

There are going to be a lot of people who received a presale code and end up not getting tickets. I highly suggest you tell your family with a presale code that on the day of the presale that once they are out of the Ticketmaster waiting room, to buy whatever tickets they can get as quick as possible. If they start thinking, "I don't like this section" or "let me check if I can release these and find better seats", etc., they will most likely end up not getting tickets.

SOURCE: Watching both my wife and daughter get a presale code for Taylor Swift in Houston and not get tickets because they were not fast enough.

Thanks. They are pretty aware folks so I know they want be booking flights and such based on a pre-sale code email.

I do feel bad for the folks who will get the code and start celebrating with their kids and then end up not getting tickets.

Unpopular opinion: She's pretty good.


I like her VX okay. She basically told her record company to drop dead. Couldn’t stand her as a count-Rey singer.

I liked her better before v she let her political leanings be known.
There’s a difference between assuming she’s a pink lib and knowing for sure.

She annoys me less that Morgan Wallen. He’s gonna need a new liver he’s 50.

Honest question. Would we be better off if we went back to having to go to the pavilion on a certain day to buy tickets?
Used to go to D.H.Holmes in the Plaza to buy tickets in the 1980s. Not many scalpers from Dallas and Seattle there.

Might be the best thing that could happen to them. Spending hundreds on boring, unremarkable music is a poor lesson for those who should develop better tastes in the future.

I liked her country days. I’ve seen her before, but that was before she got political.

I’m ok with seeing liberals, but I don’t like liberals that argue for policies that would persecute religious institutions.



Her dad is supposedly very conservative. But he is also a stock broker from small town Pennsylvania.

In the documentary he tried to talk her out of being political. Clearly becoming political didn’t hurt her bottom line.

I know it sounds edgey to say this. But the theatrics of the show are supposed to be incredible. I’ve never thought she had that great of a voice compared to say, lady Gaga or adell. But Taylor swift is really good at writing catchy lyrics and the show is supposed to be incredible.

You probably won’t go to many concerts then.

Even some of the country singers like Tim McGraw are liberal.

Scalping tickets outside at games and concerts was much better and cheaper then the current debacle.

That’s my thought also. Now you probably have guys in far flung places make huge money a year just doing this stuff from their basement. It’s an area I don’t think has improved with technology. I think it’s made it worse.

I'm not being edgy. It's pop music, forgettable and unremarkable as it's always been.

$1700 a piece? Gat dam, my parents always acted like they were moving mountains to take us to the Shriners’ Circus at the Cajundome when we got free tickets at school.

The Houston presale for the original batch of tickets was a whole different system. They released all the tickets for the whole tour at the same time and crashed the system. These tickets are just for the extra tour dates and are on sale individually by each city. Hopefully they have learned some lessons from the first release

Entire albums? No thanks. Pop is pop. Not terribly interesting.
