I was put on the waitlist - will I get to buy tickets?

Anyone who pre registered for tickets and wasn’t selected initially, was put on a waitlist and might receive an invitation if more tickets become available.

According to ticketmaster.ie: “Ticket Sales Registration is being used to help fans get tickets for Taylor Swift The Eras Tour in Ireland. This helps us to filter out buyers looking to resell tickets, and instead get them into the hands of fans who want to attend the show.

“Registration does not guarantee access to the sale, or to tickets. We expect there will be more demand than there are tickets available.

“A limited number of fans will get access to the sale, and others will be put on the waitlist. Getting access to the sale doesn’t guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“If you aren’t initially selected, you’ll be placed on the waitlist and may receive an invitation if any further tickets become available.”

If you move off the waiting list, you will receive an email containing your access code details and where to access the relevant on-sale. Your notification may come at any time after ticket sales begin.

When notified, your email will include a link to the on-sale and your unique access code.

How to improve your chances of getting a ticket

Make sure your Ticketmaster account is updated with the exact email address the access code was sent to, and updated with the correct payment information as this will speed up the checkout process.

Check that you know your login details. Log in early before the sale starts.

It's not recommended to use multiple devices or browser tabs. During the US presale, Ticketmaster only allowed one device and one open page per account. Any extras may result in errors, which you definitely don't want.

Decide in advance what seats you want and your budget - prices were confirmed in last weeks presale and range from €86 to an eye-watering €743.62!

Don't refresh your browser as you may lose your place in the queue.

And finally - don't give up! Tickets can become available after the initial sale time as some may have emptied their basket or cancelled their transaction.
