So yesterday was the big day for Taylor Swift fans who were planning to buy pre-sale tickets with their Capital One credit cards. The sale was actually moved from Tuesday to Wednesday based on traffic overwhelming the system from the verified fan pre-sale.
I was so ready for the sale. I made sure my credit card was already loaded into my Ticketmaster and SeatGeek accounts (SeatGreek was assigned to the Dallas venue). At 1:45, I got onto the pre-sale website and waited to refresh just before 2:00.
I got into the queue right away, and I was hopeful. Unfortunately, about 50 minutes later, my screen refreshed with a message that said the Capital One pre-sale was sold out. I was so disappointed.
So, I will be back online tomorrow morning to try for the public sale. Taylor Swift has 3 shows in Dallas, and the stadium holds 90k people. Surely I’ve got a chance. My daughter would be so thrilled with this as a Christmas present.
Did anyone else have luck with the Capital One pre-sale for Taylor Swift tickets?

No dice here either… I got in queue for both Santa Clara shows and both failed for me… 🙁
@Elena Sorry 🙁
Got through the 2000 person waiting room after maybe a half hour, let into the site for Philly tickets. Saw multiple sections with tickets available, put in the first six digits of my Venture X card…….card not valid. Quick google search found the first 6 digits Cap One uses in US on Visas, allowed me to shop……but after adding tickets to cart got errors trying to check out. Reading the online news, Ticketmaster failed to handle either presale well. Guess we save the $1,000 we would have spent for 5 face value mid-level tickets…..
@Brian I’m sorry 🙁
We were all set for tha Capital One pre-sale but discovered that the verified fans (my daughter registered in advance) were able to purchased first. So we abandoned the Capital One option and ended up with 7th row seats. And one ecstatic daughter!
Hopefully you can nab some seats on the public sale. Good luck!
@Denise Yay! That’s awesome!!
