On behalf of all Canadian Taylor Swift fans, fuck you. I happen to be one of the fortunate few who got tickets to the Eras Tour, but what if I hadn’t been so lucky? I would have been forced to choose between spending $2,000 on a ticket for a seat with an obstructed view, or missing out on the concert of a lifetime.

You gave tickets out to non-local consumers, even though you asked purchasers for their mailing addresses and phone numbers. Isn’t that enough to make sure locals get tickets? I guess not. We’ve all heard the stories of those who got tickets reselling them immediately at ten times the price. I understand Americans want to go because they lost their chance, but let’s remember, that was a byproduct of certain people buying tickets to multiple shows instead of just one. In the future, let’s make use of the fact that you know where people live as well as their ticket history, so that highly sought-after tickets go to those who wouldn’t have had a chance otherwise.

Sincerely,

Canadian Swifties
