If you wanted to seeTaylor Swifton her upcoming tour, there’s still hope!
AsBillboardreported this week, the ticket company still has 170,000 remaining seats to sell for Swift’s stadium run next year, and it’s hoping to do so in a span of four weeks.

Ticketmaster will useTicketstoday— a ticketing platform made for the Dave Matthews Band’s fan club in the early ’00s — to sell the tickets, in an effort to avoid a website crash or lengthy wait times,Billboardreports.
The company began to send out emails this week to fans who signed up for Verified Fan pre-sale, giving them a deadline of Dec. 23 to submit purchase requests. Swifties are then required to enter their payment information and select a pricing option in lieu of waiting, before a digital lottery takes place if ticket demand is higher than availability.

Of course, demand being high is a likely scenario, as Ticketmaster previously shared that 14 million peopleattempted to buy Swift tickets, when they only intended for 1.5 million during Verified Fan or Capital One presales. Only 2 million successfully snagged seats, and Ticketmaster cancelled general sale.
“Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow’s public on-sale forTaylor Swift| The Eras Tour has been cancelled,” read atweetposted to the official Ticketmaster account on Nov. 17.

On Nov. 18, Swift shared amessageto her fans via her Instagram Story, explaining how she felt following the ticketing confusion.
After senators Amy Klobuchar and Mike Leeannouncedthat a U.S. Senate antitrust panel will hold a hearing “to examine the lack of competition in the ticketing industry,” several Swiftiesfiled a lawsuitagainst Live Nation Entertainment this month.
Swift’s tour kicks off in Glendale, Arizona on March 13, before wrapping on Aug. 9 in Inglewood, California.
