Taylor Swift fans across Ireland are counting down the hours until tickets for her record-breaking Eras Tour go on sale.
The US superstar recently announced the European and UK leg of the show, which includes three dates in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 28, 29 and 30 next year.
With tickets expected to be like gold dust, Ticketmaster asked those interested in attending to pre-register and only a limited number of people received an access code for the sale.
Other Swifties in Ireland and the UK who bought the star’s Midnights album between August 29 and October 27, 2022 qualify for a special presale, which kicked off this week.
