Swifties are known for being some of the most die-hard fans out there, but for one superfan, the payout from selling their Eras Tour ticket was so big that they couldn’t turn down the opportunity.
In fact, with the money from their ticket resale they managed to pay off their college tuition!
The buildup to The Eras Tour was huge, as it marks Swift’s first time on the road since 2018. Considering the star has released 7 whole albums since then, it’s no surprise that Swifties had to battle in the great war of Ticketmaster in order to get their hands on those precious tickets.
However, thus far, Swift proved her complete and utter commitment to putting her best foot forward. The show lasts for over 3 hours, with the setlist clocking in at a mammoth forty-four songs, including 2 acoustic surprise songs that change every night.
The tour showcases Taylor Swift’s remarkable evolution from a young country artist to a global pop sensation.
Spanning her entire career, the concert features songs from all 10 of her albums. For those who have followed the star from the very start of her now illustrious music career, it’s a once in a lifetime experience to see parts from her entire discography live on stage.
So, it’s understandable that tickets for the show are red hot, and fans are prepared to do anything to be in the same room as the star.
However, for one superfan Swiftie, the money from selling their ticket proved to be life-changing.
Isaac Jarman shared his story on TikTok, where he revealed that he sold his fourth-row tickets for a hefty sum of $14,000. The resale price was so high in fact that he even managed to pay off his college tuition.
“I hope you enjoy the show so much,” he said, thanking the person who bought it for having ‘literally paid for my college tuition’.
“I wish I could be there but also 14k is pretty nice too,” he added.
However, the move has divided other fans, who think that selling his ticket on for such a high price is not in the spirit of being a Swiftie.
“Turns out the scalpers we’ve been talking about this whole time were people our age,” one person wrote.
A second said: “It’s basically limiting [tickets] to people with an insane amount of disposable income.”
“For 14k me and Taylor better be hanging out all day,” a third commented.
In a follow-up video, Jarman hit out at the criticism.
“There are so many people getting mad at me for selling my tickets,” he said.
“But I feel like if you had tickets and somebody offered you a stack of $14,000 to not go. Like you wouldn’t go. That’s so many hours of work equivalent to that.”
He went on to explain that he was already seeing the tour in Denver with seats high up in the nosebleeds, and so wasn’t too upset to sell his seats on the floor.
