What is Ticketmaster Verified Fans, and can you use it for Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets?

Taylor Swift is coming back to London next summer, with six dates at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of The Eras Tour.

The Nashville singer is in town from June 21-23 and then August 15-17 as part of the European leg of the 146-show world tour.

Tickets sold out almost instantly when they went on sale in July, before resale tickets were also fought over when those went on sale earlier this month.

Ticketmaster has deployed its Verified Fans service for several of its high-profile concerts in recent years, including The Eras tour. This is how it works.

How does Verified Fans work?

Ticketmaster’s Verified Fans was set up to offer a service to fans that tries to eliminate ticket scalping.

It works in three stages:

1. Registering with Ticketmaster

The first step is to put your name forward to become a verified fan. You need to say you are interested in going to the event.

2. Receiving a unique purchasing code

Cross your fingers. And, if you are successful, Ticketmaster will send you a purchase link and unique code between 12 and 24 hours before the presale.

3. Buy 

You then have a window to buy your tickets in the presale. “It’s a simple and safe purchase process, where you’ll get priority access to great tickets,” Ticketmaster has said.

These stages have now come, caused headaches, been loved and loathed, and gone for anyone looking to get tickets for Swift in London or the rest of the UK. Now the lucky few (thousand) have got in; they can prepare for a night to remember at one of the following concerts.

Swift fans will now be able to see their tickets in their Ticketmaster accounts.
