Tickets for Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour 2024 in Australia are on sale.
But fans panicked when American Express’s advance booking site crashed just moments before Sydney ticketing went live.
The website was shut down around 9:30 a.m., half an hour before ticket sales started, as the problem prevented fans from acquiring or purchasing tickets.
‘We’re sorry. We are currently having technical difficulties. “We are working to bring our services back online,” the site reads.

And since Swift only performs in Australia’s two largest cities, expect tickets to sell out quickly as fans travel from other states to see the legendary singer’s performance.
Fans will have to shell out between $79.90 and $379.90 to see the Fearless star live in concert.
Additionally, VIP packages start at $349.90 and go all the way up to a whopping $1249.90 for the It’s Been A Long Time Coming package.
This package includes an A Reserve ticket, four Taylor Swift prints, a tote bag, merchandise, souvenirs and a VIP tour laminate/matching lanyard.
Swift’s acclaimed Eras Tour is quickly becoming one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time, having grossed over $1 billion.
The legendary singer performs a 44-song setlist that includes both new and old hits for three hours.
As the name suggests, fans can expect them to pay tribute to their various musical ‘epochs’ in an extravagant show where no expense is spared.
The Eras Tour started in March and is expected to end on August 9th.
The US trekking route has drawn large crowds and celebrities including Miles Teller, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lawrence, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes.
