More than a million fans will watch Taylor Swift live in the UK now the pop superstar have brought her record breaking Eras Tour to the UK.
The American singer, 34, kicked off her first UK gig in Edinburgh last weekend with more than 219,000 fans shaking it off at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
But thousands of fans have struggled to get their hands of tickets, due to exceptionally high demand.
Fan who missed out on tickets – or had to fork out thousands on resale tickets, have shared their upset saying the tickets were sold to Americans, despite the singer doing 53 shows in the US and only playing 18 cities in Europe.
The singer will go on to play nights in Cardiff and Liverpool as well as eight nights at Wembley – meaning 720,000 fans will attend in London alone.
Taking to social media after the show, fans have said they’re upset at the choice of some attendees to fly to Scotland, given that the singer hasn’t performed in the country in eight years.
Americans have said they struggled to get tickets in their home state, and added that European dates are significantly cheaper due to the strength of the dollar.
