People are starting to report problems with Ticketmaster DownDetector It starts at 9 a.m. EST and peaks around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. (DownDetector is owned by Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company.) The authorized pre-sale for the Eras Tour began at 10 a.m., and Ticketmaster immediately started buzzing on Twitter. We know very well How difficult is it to secure tickets on Ticketmaster, And Swift has released four albums and re-recorded two since her last tour in 2018, which has put the desire to see her at an all-time high.

Ticketmaster has warned fans that the seating chart for ticket purchases will not reflect availability, and it’s a mystery how after numerous website crashes and ticket brokers jacking up prices a better system hasn’t been put in place.

For the Swifties who weren’t the lucky ones to be chosen for the verified fan pre-show, it was even more painful. When emails from verified fan selections hit inboxes on Monday (November 14), fans flooded the schedule celebrating by getting pre-sale codes or cursing the name of the dastardly website to pass them on.
