Ticketmaster faced the wrath of furious Taylor Swift fans on Thursday after an apparent technical glitch prevented them from purchasing tickets, resulting in hundreds of empty seats at Wembley Stadium.
The pop superstar is back in London for five more UK shows as his mammoth The Eras tour finally reaches its finish line, some 15 months after it launched at State Park Stadium in Arizona.
On X, formerly Twitter, when Swift, 34, returned to Wembley on August 15, fans revealed alarmingly large blocks of empty seats that would normally be occupied by devoted Swifties.
And concert provider Ticketmaster was found to be at fault for the apparent fiasco after a technical error resulted in fans not receiving the code needed to purchase tickets.
Others claimed they were sent invalid codes that also prevented them from purchasing much-coveted tickets to what will be the final UK shows of Swift’s current tour.

Sharing a photo of the empty seats on social media, one disgruntled attendee wrote: “Empty seats cause Ticketmaster to block tickets with codes.”
Posting a similar photo, a second added: “Not all of these seats are empty because no one had a code to buy tickets. This is so painful.” (sic)
Photographs taken later in the evening revealed a noticeably fuller Wembley, with X users sensibly claiming that the earlier photographs were taken before everyone had taken their seats.
