Taylor Swift Vancouver Eras Tour $16.50 'No View' Tickets Listed For Thousands on Resale Sites
The tickets went on sale for $16.50 CAD ahead of Taylor Swift's three dates in Vancouver, closing out the behemoth Eras Tour from December 6-8, but tickets were immediately scooped up by resellers and put on StubHub at a markup of 150%.

West Coast Swifties are trying to get last-minute tickets as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour heads to Vancouver — but resellers are beating them to the punch.
With demand sky-high for the final shows on the massively popular Eras Tour, Taylor Swift released a batch of unique 'no view' tickets (which offer fans a view of the screens beside the stage but not the stage itself) for her three upcoming Vancouver dates this week at just $16.50 per ticket.
As Swifties rushed to Ticketmaster to wait in large queues for the chance to hear (but not see) their favourite star, resellers were scooping up the cheap tickets.
Before they knew it, the Ticketmaster drop had ended and many of the 'no view' tickets were now on StubHub — for thousands of dollars.
Swifties took to social media to express their dismay.
Some lucky fans did manage to score the no view tickets. But the massive resale markups of $16.50 tickets are another indicator of just how hard it is for actual Taylor Swift fans to get into the Eras Tour.
Many fans have gone through several rounds of attempts at securing tickets through Ticketmaster or ticket giveaways, spending hours waiting in queues and scouring social media for ticket tips.
A representative for StubHub told The Globe and Mail that the company doesn't set the resale prices.
For fans, though, there's still likely to be a lot of bad blood with resale sites, which operate under a business model that allows for astronomical prices.
Meanwhile, Vancouver is preparing for its Taylor Swift era, altering a local sign to read: Swiftcouver.
The Eras Tour concludes in Vancouver with three performances December 6-8, 2024.
