Ticketmaster Cancels Sale of Taylor Swift Tickets After Snags
Last night, Taylor Swift gave a concert in Dallas. She performed her song “Shake It Off.” After the show, she called up her fan club, which she had started on Facebok and which she had sold tickets to. The fan club was not happy. Because the tickets were sold under a promotional plan, they were required to send them back to Taylor.
Taylor Swift is back! Earlier today, tickets for Taylor Swift’s concert at the Toyota Center in Dallas were sold at TicketMaster. The tickets were sold at $100 each, with a first-come, first-served ticket policy. After the Dallas concert, Taylor confirmed the tickets on Twitter. Now, she says she’s canceling the sales.
When a fan club takes a stand against what has become the standard practice of ticketing, they stand on the right side of history. Ticketmaster cancelled Taylor Swift’s concert and refunded the customer. It is a victory for Taylor Swift fans everywhere and for fan clubs everywhere.

It’s been seven months since Taylor Swift’s album, Red, was released. At the end of August, Taylor Swift canceled a concert in St. Paul after her fans complained about ticketing. Taylor didn’t give a reason for her cancellation, but she did, for the first time in her entire career, apologize for her music. Taylor went on to say: “Music is not made for everyone. I know I am not perfect. I need you all to be patient with me. I am working hard to make you better. I will never stop loving you.”
