If you’re a die-hard Taylor Swift fan and are desperate to see her live, tickets are still available for as little as £251 each with a ‘free view’ of the stage.
Tickets for the pop sensation’s upcoming Eras Tour concerts are being flogged for over £500 on resale sites, with some even reaching £1,000. The Shake It Off star is gearing up for her highly-anticipated Eras Tour in the UK in June, which will see her grace stages at venues including London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium.
But if you look for tickets in these three places, they all cost more than £500 each. But there are cheaper options.
If you’re willing to travel a little further, Swifties can buy tickets to see Taylor perform in Nanterre, just outside Paris, for just £251 (at the time of writing).
And these tickets are available from Viagogo. The global superstar will take to the stage at Paris La Defense Arena in Nanterre from May 9-12, meaning you’ll get to see the show before fans attend the UK gigs. There are still tickets available for purchase with an unobstructed view of the stage, The Mirror reports.
Traveling to Paris from the UK isn’t too bad. You can get a return bus journey for just £33 from London direct to Paris Bercy Seine bus station – even if it takes you nine hours. From there it’s a direct train in 30 minutes to La Defense Arena in Nanterre. The journey from the UK to Paris is a bit of a hike. But you can snooze the whole trip ready for a night of looping and boogieing to all of Taylor’s hits.
Once you land at Paris Bercy Seine bus station, hop on the metro for around £3 to £5 (a short walk from the station) and travel the half-hour journey to Nanterre-Prefecture train station. Once you arrive, it’s only a six-minute walk to the arena. Then it’s your call whether you stay overnight in Paris to make a mini-break out of it, or hit the bars after the concert and jump on the first bus home to the UK in the morning.
Police have issued advice to “check for correct information about the event, including date, time and location”. They also recommend paying close attention to the seating area or assigned seats. Although not official resellers, Vivid Seats and Viagogo say they have a series of terms and conditions and security protocols in place to protect fans from being scammed.
