Due to the Victorian government’s designation of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne tour as a major event, anti-scalping regulations will be in effect to safeguard fans from being taken advantage of.
Taylor Swift revealed last week that her Eras tour will bring her to Melbourne in February of the following year.
The American singer will be performing in Australia for the first time since 2018, thus competition for tickets is expected to be high.
Tickets cannot be marketed or sold for more than 10% more than their original price in accordance with scalping laws.
Individual sellers must disclose the specifics of the ticket and seat location, and those selling ticket bundles must have permission from the event’s organizer.
Depending on how serious the violation was, penalties for non-compliance will range from $925 to $554,760.
Consumer watchdog organization CHOICE requested that the government classify the tour a significant event earlier today in response to allegations that tickets were going for more than $3,000 on unofficial websites.
180,000 spectators are anticipated at the MCG for the performances over the course of the two evenings.
In spite of the pop star’s limited stops in Melbourne and Sydney, interstate admirers are anticipated to flock to Victoria.
The website crashed due to the high demand for the first round of tickets, which were only available to American Express users. These tickets have all been purchased.
