Taylor Swift fans needed to register in advance if they wanted a chance of buying tickets for The Eras Tour in Dublin. Anyone who registered will get an email today, July 5, confirming whether they will get a code or are on a waitlist.
Thousands of Taylor Swift fans across Ireland will find out today whether or not they will get an opportunity to buy tickets for her Eras Tour.
The US superstar added a surprise third concert date for her shows in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium – and will now be performing on June 28, 29 and 30 next summer.
Taylor, 33, is currently playing to sell-out stadiums across America, with such demand for tickets that US Ticketmaster’s website crashed, leading to the cancellation of the country's public on-sale.
Ticketmaster Ireland confirmed that tickets will not be going on general sale. Fans were asked to register in advance if they wanted a chance of buying tickets, and that registration window ended at midnight on Friday, June 23.

Only a limited number of fans will get an access code to the sale. Anyone not selected initially, will be put on a waitlist and might receive an invitation if more tickets become available.
Anyone who registered will receive an email today, July 5. The emails, which have already dropped in some fan’s inboxes, confirm whether they have received an 'on-sale code' or if they have been placed on a waiting list.
Lucky fans who do indeed get that magic email today, will be given information on what to do next.
That email reads: “You’ve been selected to participate in the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour ticket sale, powered by Ticketmaster for the following show(s):
