Minneapolis is soon to become Swiftie-apolis as 500,000 fans are expected to rush to the city. Millions of Swifties go through a stringent process just to see the Grammy singer perform. With the Eras Tour ticket selling in a wink, many fans are left disappointed, additionally, the Ticketmaster is of no help.
Moreover, pop icons including Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Beyonce are accused of the inflation crisis. As the demand for these concert tickets increases the prices are escalating along with the high demand for the restaurants and hotel rooms. And now as the Swifties rush to Minneapolis to sway to Taylor’s music, they are warned by the U.S Bank Stadium.
The Ticket Troubles Travels To Minneapolis
As the artist is ready to Shake it Off in Minneapolis for her The Eras Tour, the fans without tickets are strongly discouraged from crowding outside the concert venue. U.S Bank Stadium issued a warning ahead of Taylor Swift’s concert on Twitter. The statement read, “Fans without tickets to the concert are strongly discouraged from gathering outside the stadium this weekend”.
During The Eras Tour, thousands of fans without tickets have been Taylor-Gating outside the venue hoping to hear the Blank Space artist perform. As the US. Bank Stadium is an enclosed stadium in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, the stadium owners are worried about overcrowding especially the fans without tickets.
This warning during Swift’s Minneapolis concert is issued after millions of fans wait in hours-long queues in extreme heating over two days only to be shut down by Ticketmaster during the November ticket sales. The Ticketmaster also issued a formal apology to their customers through their Twitter account, “We want to apologize to Taylor and all of her fans – especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets. We feel we owe it to everyone to share some information to help explain what happened”.

The ‘Enchantress’ singer is the most favored artist with a humongous fan base. On and again at every event, the singer has shown how much she is protective of her fans. Amidst the ticket fiasco, the Bad Blood singer shared on social media, “There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward.”
She continued, “I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.”
Taylor Swift concluded by saying, “And to those who didn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to all get together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.”
