Taylor Swift releases $16 tickets with ‘no view’ for final Eras tour show but fans are left FURIOUS as scalpers snap them up to sell for over $1,000

Taylor Swift has released a new batch of $16 tickets with ‘no view’ for her final three shows in Vancouver next month.

The singer is wrapping up her Eras tour in the city and the new tickets seated behind the stage have been put on sale much to the delight of fans.

Despite the fact there is no view of the stage, fans were undeterred as they penned: ‘Imagine paying $15 for a seat with no view and still hearing the best concert of your life’.

However, ticket scalpers have already snapped up the tickets and are reselling them for over $1,000.

Taking to Twitter to vent their frustrations, Swifties were furious to find tickets were being resold for as much as $1,638.

Furious they penned: ‘scalpers got everything’; ‘They should ban reselling tickets. These are now priced ridiculous’.

‘hey f*** anyone who bought $15 behind-the-stage taylor swift tickets for vancouver and are now reselling them for over a thousand dollars i hope you choke’;

‘They got snatched and listed on resale sites already. I was in the queue and I got booted out saying online sales were done. StubHub last night had around 200 tickets listed for resale and that number has doubled in the last hour.’;

‘How are $16 Taylor Swift tickets with ZERO view of the stage/screens allowed to be resold for $700++++I just want to go once’;

‘but now people are reselling them for thousands of dollars again so what’s the point’; ‘And so many are already on stubhub for $1k’.

One fan even found tickets being resold for as much as $2,349 each as they wrote: ‘Glad more people could get tickets just to post them immediately for $2500. I was 43rd in queue when tickets sold out.’

While fans will only be able to listen to the show and not see the full spectacle, Swifties were delighted by the idea.

The excited fans wrote: ‘I’d do anything to buy $16 eras tickets idc if I can’t see a thing’;

‘We’re going! I don not care if we can’t see the stage, great price and I just want to be there for closing night hear those final surprise songs live’.

Another begged: ‘Can someone please help me get a ticket’ and another asked: ‘they couldn’t have done this earlier in the tour’.

It comes after a Canadian family were left distraught last week after buying fake Taylor Swift tickets which cost them $15,600 USD.

Ottawa mom Mel Keogh purchased 28 tickets for a group of Swiftie family members who had been excited to experience the Toronto Eras Tour show on November 23.

She used an independent ticket broker, which she did not name but said she had used before, that turned out to be a scam.

‘To break it to the girls that we weren’t going – was horrendous,’ Keogh told CTV News Ottawa while fighting back tears.

Keogh said her family, including her super-fan daughter Jordan, 15, were devastated by the news after spending weeks making bracelets and choosing outfits.

‘(It’s) all we’ve been talking about for over a year,’ Mel told CTV News.

‘They were absolutely ecstatic. My daughter, I can speak to her specifically, knows every Taylor Swift song, every word, every album, every era, everything.’

Keogh said she booked the tickets in August thinking they were the real deal.

Her group of 28 teamed up with four neighbours, spending $788 CAD on each ticket, or $561.89 in USD.

Keogh’s family made a total loss of $22,000 CAD ($15, 687 USD), while her neighbours lost around $3,000 CAD ($2,139 USD).

They planned out a magical evening for Swift’s last Toronto show, including booking limousines and hotels for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Mel’s sister-in-law Patricia Keogh said she had used the independent ticket broker before for several concerts and sporting events.

She said everything seemed legitimate during the buying process – as they received confirmation codes and seat numbers by email and she felt they had done their research.

‘It’s gone, it’s all gone,’ Patricia Keogh told CTV News.

‘(It is) really upsetting that we let our family down,’ she added. ‘How could we have not seen this? How did we get duped? We’re smart people.’
