Ticketmaster cancels public on-sale date for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour due to "extraordinarily high demands"

Today (18 November) tickets for Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour were due to go on general sale, but after fans crashed Ticketmaster earlier in the week during the pre-sale, Ticketmaster has announced that the public on-sale date has been cancelled.

On Twitter, Ticketmaster wrote, "Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow's public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled."

Yesterday (17 November) Liberty Media CEO and Live Nation chairman Greg Maffei responded to Ticketmaster not being able to accommodate a huge number of Taylor Swift fans in The Eras tour presale, revealing that 14 million fans were trying to get tickets. He also revealed they managed to sell more than two million tickets in the pre-sale, and could have filled 900 stadiums with the amount of people trying to access tickets.

Swift announced The Eras tour at the start of the month. Currently, there's only US dates available with support from Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, MUNA, girl in red, Beabadoobee, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams and OWENN. She confirmed at the time that "international dates" will be "announced as soon as we can."
