27 Jun – Some ticket sellers are looking to make a quick buck as US pop star Taylor Swift is set to perform more than 40 shows in 18 cities across Europe this summer.
The singer’s billion-dollar Eras tour has also led to price hikes in the hospitality industry, as “Swifties” from North America flock to Europe, where ticket prices can be up to 80% lower due to strict consumer protection laws.
Thousands of fans struggled to get tickets due to the huge demand, and many were left disappointed as tickets sold out within minutes.
Those who missed out now rely on ticket resale platforms, where prices can be several times the face value, while many countries have regulated secondary market ticket sales to eliminate unfair practices.
