The real reason Taylor Swift won’t add any more Australian dates to her Eras Tour – as pre-sale tickets sell out in minutes with Ticketek queues hitting record numbers
Taylor Swift has booked just five shows across Sydney and Melbourne for her Eras Tour next year and some speculate it’s all in the name of good business.
Pre-sale tickets sold out within minutes on Wednesday as millions of fans rushed to nab their seat at the highly anticipated concert slated for February.
Despite Ticketek online queues hitting a record-breaking four million in number, Richard Wilkins said it’d be bad for business if the pop star, 33, added more dates.
‘It’s good for her business to always have people wanting more, you wouldn’t want to have 10 shows and have half of them empty,’ Nine’s Entertainment Editor, 69, said.
‘That’s the modus operandi. It’s a seller’s ticket and she’s in the box seat. She has millions of fans around the world to keep satisfied.’

Ticketek hit an all-time record on Wednesday when four million Swifties jumped into the online queue to book their pre-sale tickets.
Unfortunately, the site informed Sydney fans at around 1.45pm via Twitter that ‘all general Frontier pre-sale tickets for Taylor Swift in Sydney are now sold out’.
They did state that some VIP Packages were still available.
However, fans should not fret as there will still be thousands of tickets available when more go on sale for the general public on Friday at 10am.

‘Make sure you’re prepared with your Ticketek account details and payment info, as there are lots of Swifties that are excited to Shake It Off this summer,’ Ticketek added.
It was a similar story over in Victoria when thousands of Melbourne fans attempted to secure their tickets at 2pm.
The Bad Blood hitmaker’s two shows at the MCG sold out in about 40 minutes.
‘Melbourne Taylor Swift show pre-sale tickets are sold out! Got into Ticketek only to see tickets were not available anymore for either dates!’ one fan tweeted.
