If you missed out on the general sales but want to bag yourself a last-minute ticket to Taylor Swift’s show in Edinburgh tonight, it could set you back a whopping £4,000.
Not to fear, however, as it is currently possible to land yourself a ticket for as little as £271 – if you settle for a somewhat restricted view.
We’ve checked resale giant Viagogo for the latest prices, accurate as of 10.30am.
As is often the case with popular tours listed on resale sites, many of the tickets are sold individually – so if you’re happy to go alone tonight, you’re more likely to get a ticket.
For context, a ticket at general sale cost somewhere between £80-£160 depending on where you sit/stand.
As it stands, the cheapest seat with an unrestricted view of the stage is currently up for sale at £323.
Just one ticket is up for £271, but has a “restricted view”.
Bringing a crowd
If you’re looking to take someone with you, the cheapest pair of tickets without any restricted view will cost you a combined £1,706.
However, if you’re happy with a restricted or limited view, you can pay the cheaper price of £538 for the pair (£269 each).
You can buy up to four tickets in the same area for £303 each (£1,212 together) for a restricted view, or £555 each (£2,220 together) for an unobstructed view of the stage.
Getting closer to the action
Standing tickets are much sought after given their proximity to the stage.
As alluded to at the top of this post, one frankly optimistic reseller has listed four general admission tickets for a staggering £4,256 each (in the “floor” section shown in the map below).
However, you can get even closer – with one ticket remaining in the separate section to the left of the stage at £651 and another to the right at £559.
A word of caution
Ticket resale sites, including Viagogo, have previously been accused of “ripping off” consumers amid concerns customers could be turned away at venues because of restrictions on some resold tickets.
The company was told in 2019 that it was required to make a number of changes to the way it collects and presents information about tickets on its site.
It has since pledged to be compliant with UK watchdogs and now offers a “100% order guarantee [which] covers both buyers and sellers”.
If you’re happy paying over the odds for last-minute tickets, make sure you’re buying through a site with such a guarantee and always beware of scams!
