Still Need Taylor Swift Eras Tour Tickets? Here’s One Way To Get Them
It’s the biggest tour of the year and many have even called it the tour of a lifetime. I’ve been lucky enough to see The Eras Tour twice, in Glendale Arizona, and Atlanta, GA. And truth be told I’d jump at the chance to go again (and could even be tempted enough to shell out big bucks to make that happen). It’s almost impossible to get tickets at this point unless you want to pay a pretty penny. The shows sold out during presale. Most tickets on resale sites are a minimum of $1,000 even day of the shows.
Yes, you could be one of the very lucky ones who are able to secure tickets in a last-minute Ticketmaster drop. But if you didn’t initially register for a code, that won’t happen. And would you even have time to travel? You could get lucky and find someone selling at face value. But that’s like a needle in a haystack. So you want to attend the Taylor Swift Eras Tour but need tickets? We’ve got you covered!

A Mathematical Ranking Of Taylor Swift Eras Tour Surprise Songs By Show
I could talk about the Eras Tour all day every day. I might anyway. And as Taylor herself has admitted on stage, surprise song tracking has become a sport. One I’m fully invested in. So I was curious as to which city had the best surprise songs. And the only way to do that was to go all in and create a mathematical ranking of the Eras Tour surprise songs. So that’s what I did.
The setlist for the tour of the year, Taylor Swift The Eras Tour, consists of 44 songs but when you have a discography as vast as Taylor’s there are still a lot of songs she doesn’t get to sing. That’s why for several tours now Taylor has had the tradition of surprise songs a track that isn’t on the nightly setlist but she sings acoustic. The Eras Tour has two such songs coming near the end of the 3+ hour show. Fans keep track and tune into live streams each night to see what song gets performed. Only once, 3.5 months into the tour has she repeated a song. That was Clean the closing track on Swift’s 2015 album 1989.
So I created a way to mathematically rank the pairings of surprise songs. Here is the scale I used:
- Has The Song(s) Been Sung Live Before (not counting Folklore The Long Pond Studio Session): 0-2 total points
- Was There A Special Guest: 0-1 total points
- Song One: 1-5 total points (this is my personal ranking of how happy I would have been to get the song)
- Song Two: 1-5 total points
- Total: 13 points
Only one night received a perfect score and it’s the one I would have ranked 1st anyway. Below you’ll find an, updated weekly, ranking of the surprise songs sets of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Show dates go from lowest ranked to highest.
