Tickets officially go on sale for Irish fans on Thursday, July 20. This date has been changed from July 13. In addition, some fans who bought their copy of her Midnights album have early access to tickets, which go on sale for those fans today.
Whether you were one of the lucky fans who were selected to receive an access code or not — here’s what you need to know about today and the general sale on July 20.
Yes, but only if you bought the Midnights album from Taylor Swift's website.
For fans with a presale code, tickets for Dublin will go on sale at staggered times today, with tickets for her Friday concert available from 11am, tickets for Saturday available from 1pm and tickets from Sunday available from 3pm.
It is likely the presale will confirm ticket prices for the Dublin concerts, giving fans with general sale access some time to decide what price point they would prefer.
If you have been selected to receive an access code, congratulations! You can expect a purchase link and access code by text the afternoon before tickets go on sale (so, July 19).
According to Ticketmaster, you will receive an email and two SMS messages which will include timing details and a link to where the on sale will occur, along with your unique access code. This code cannot be shared or passed on to anyone else.
Registration worked on a first come first served basis so if you have been placed on the waitlist, there is a chance that may be moved off it when and if more tickets become available. If you do move off the waitlist, you will receive two SMS messages with your access code details and where to access tickets. Be sure to keep your eyes on your phone as this notification may come at any time after the tickets go on sale.
Ticketmaster has advised fans to also keep an eye on their email. If there are SMS delivery issues, you will be emailed your access code details and remember — there is a max limit of four tickets per person.
All those who registered received confirmation of whether they were selected for the on sale or placed on the waitlist for tickets.
Fans who bought the Midnights album in 2022 qualify for a special presale access code which they will receive between Thursday, July 6 and Friday, July 7.
The pre-sale tickets for those who received a pre-sale code will go on sale for Dublin.
Tickets for Friday, June 28 at Dublin's Aviva Stadium go on sale.
Tickets for Saturday, June 29 at Dublin's Aviva Stadium go on sale.
Tickets for Sunday, June 30 at Dublin's Aviva Stadium go on sale.
Other dates that might be worth noting for Ireland-based fans include Swift’s two nights in Edinburgh on June 7, 8 and 9; Liverpool on June 13, 14 and 15 and London’s Wembley Stadium on June 21, 22, 23 and August 16 and 17. Like the Irish dates, if you also registered for these locations, you should have received information on an access code on July 5 also.
Tickets are priced in the pre-sale from €86 to €206 for general seating. General standing is €126, rising to €206 per ticket to stand in the areas directly in front of the stage. Ticket packages start at €371.28 for the We Never Go Out of Style package and up to €743.62 for those availing of the Karma Is My Boyfriend package.
For Taylor Swift's Croke Park concert in 2018, ticket prices ranged from €74.50 to €144. More recently, Harry Styles' Slane Castle gig saw tickets starting at €97, plus booking fees.
The Eras Tour is Swift’s first tour since 2018 and it has been acclaimed for its stellar production.
The concept is all about exploring Swift’s 17 years of music, running through hit after hit from her various “eras”.
Expect an extravaganza of nostalgia, bejeweled costumes and if the US shows are anything to go by — a dive off-stage into a holographic swimming pool.
A five-star review of the tour’s opening night in Glendale, Arizona was described by the Guardian as “indisputably epic”.
