Taylor Swift fans who hadn’t yet snagged a ticket for the Australian leg of her Eras Tour saw their hopes and dreams come true on Tuesday, but there’s a problem.
Frontier Touring reopened ticket sales on Tuesday with “limited” numbers available for the pop superstar’s shows in Melbourne and Sydney, but warned fans will have a “restricted” view of the stage.
Just days before their first show at the MCG on Friday, Swifties can pay $65.90 for the newly released restricted view sets.
“Anticipation is at a fever pitch as Australia prepares for the start of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour,” a Frontier spokesperson said in a statement.
“With the show set up now underway, it has been confirmed that limited tickets can be put on sale, including restricted viewing tickets for $65.90.”
Fans of Taylor Swift, 34, (pictured) had all their hopes and dreams come true on Tuesday when ticket sales resumed for the Australian leg of her Eras Tour, but there’s a problem.
These coveted tickets will go on sale on Tuesday at 2pm AEDT for all Melbourne concerts and at 4pm AEDT for all Sydney concerts.
Even though the seats were not ideal, fans of Taylor Swift, 34, showed in November that they were willing to buy any ticket to get closer to their idol.
One Swiftie revealed last year what an “obstructed view” entrance looks like on the Eras Tour, sharing an image from one of the singer’s previous US concerts with X.

The photo showed seats high up in the stadium from two different angles, with limited visibility of the stage but large screens capturing the action.
One X user responded: “I’ll take it,” followed by crying emojis.
Another claimed: ‘(Taylor) spends most of the show on the catwalk so it’s still worth it!’
Taylor Swift’s Sydney shows were reported to have sold out in 82 minutes just days before on November 10.

A limited number of tickets became available at 10am AEDT and attracted what was speculated to be millions of enthusiastic fans vying for fewer than 100,000 “partially obstructed” view seats at the time.
At 10:25am AEDT only single seats were available and at 11:01am it was announced that the February 24 show in Sydney had sold out, followed by the February 23 show minutes later .
At 11:22 am, it was reported that all tickets were sold out. Limited “partially obstructed view” seating tickets for Taylor’s Melbourne shows went on sale at 4pm AEDT and sold out within an hour.
