Taylor Swift fever rippled right through Australia last week with the sale of her Eras Tour tickets, and one lucky Diggers Rest fan had the best day after securing two VIP packages.
Diggers Rest resident, swiftie, and musician Chelsea Mifsud knew all too well how hard it would be to get tickets, yet after six hours of waiting in the queue on three devices she secured her golden ticket.
“I had a bad feeling going in because I knew how many die-hard fans there would be, and how hard it would be to get tickets,” Chelsea said.
“A lot of people were saying ‘I don’t think you’re going to get tickets’ … and I was also worried about the system crashing.
“When I got the tickets I ran into the room crying.”
While this was a love story for Chelsea, fans across the country were left with a blank space after more than four million users tried to get presale tickets on Wednesday, June 28.
Chelsea credited her luck to manifesting the tickets, and said she cannot stop giggling from excitement.
She has also told her partner, who she is going with, to learn at least three songs, because they ‘never go out of style’.
“I’ve manifested this … I’ve been praying about it, thinking about it, listening to Taylor Swift songs … I’ve never been so obsessed with Taylor Swift.
“I’m stressed out with university at the moment but I keep giggling in class … because I’m so excited.
“The whole atmosphere, it feels like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the golden ticket, and I’ve got my golden ticket.”
Following the presale frenzy, the tour announced one extra show in each Melbourne and Sydney, and unlucky fans who missed out will have to shake it off.
