Taylor Swift fans will try just about anything to boost their odds of getting tickets to her Vancouver concerts, including 鈥渕anifesting鈥� visions of pre-sale codes in their email inbox.
Ticketmaster was scheduled to release the codes on Wednesday, granting the opportunity to purchase tickets on Thursday for three shows in December 2024, as part of Swift鈥檚 Eras concert tour.
Ticketmaster said on its website that due to demand, there is no way to provide an opportunity to everyone who wants tickets.
Instead, select fans who register will receive a pre-sale code giving them a chance to buy, although Ticketmaster said it doesn鈥檛 guarantee a seat for the shows at BC Place, which lists its maximum capacity as 54,500.
Shae Harding, of Langley, B.C., said she found her two teenage daughters, Chloe and Cadence, huddled around candles, lucky crystals and Taylor Swift friendship bracelets on Tuesday night, trying to 鈥渕anifest鈥� a pre-sale code.
鈥淭hey had a sign that says 鈥榃e will get Taylor Swift tickets.鈥� They were chanting: 鈥榃e will get a Taylor Swift pre-sale code. We will get Taylor Swift tickets鈥� over and over and over,鈥� said Harding. 鈥淚t was so cute.鈥�
She said when she walked into the room and took a photo, her daughters said: 鈥淢om, you have to believe in it. If you believe in it, it will come true and we will get the tickets,鈥� said Harding.
The Harding teens aren鈥檛 the only ones directing positive thoughts towards an email inbox 鈥� they are part of a 鈥渕anifesting鈥� movement among Taylor Swift fans, all hoping for concert tickets.
Abbey Mariah, who is also hoping for Vancouver tickets, posted a video on TikTok, asking fellow fans to repeat: 鈥淚 am worthy of experiencing the magic of Taylor Swift鈥檚 concert. The universe conspires to bring me to the front row.鈥�
Harding said she unsuccessfully registered for Swift鈥檚 shows in Seattle and Toronto, an experience that left her feeling 鈥渟o bummed.鈥�
It鈥檚 estimated that about 30 million people registered for a chance to buy tickets for Swift鈥檚 six shows in Toronto.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 crazy to me,鈥� said Harding. 鈥淪o, it鈥檚 like winning a lottery because how are your odds?鈥�
This time, Harding had all her daughters鈥� loved ones 鈥� grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and others 鈥� register on their behalf.
鈥淚鈥檓 hoping their manifesting works this time,鈥� said Harding.
