It should come as no surprise that Taylor Swift is set to bless Singapore with her sweet, sweet Eras Tour in March 2024.
Thanks to a bunch of content already circulating TikTok and Instagram from the US leg of her tour, we know that the Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has a 44-strong set list, split into 10 separate acts and stretching over three whole hours.
The tour itself is a nod to Taylor Swift’s many ‘musical eras’ she’s journeyed through her career so far—if you watched her Netflix documentary Miss Americana, you’ll remember her iconic quote:
“The female artists that I know of have reinvented themselves 20 times more than the male artists. They have to, or else you’re out of a job.”
Whether you’re a fan of T-Swift fan or not, you can’t discount the hype and subsequent domino effect on our culture. The hustle for tickets has been every bit chaotic while some economists have predicted a “TSwift Lift” to inflation as Swifties rush to book hotels and flights.

Okay, if you weren’t one of the lucky ones who secured the bag, listen up. Since Ticketmaster Singapore is the only authorised ticket seller for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour in Singapore and tickets on the website have now sold out, your best bet is to purchase a Marina Bay Sands Taylor Swift package (which includes VIP tickets and hotel stays) or hit up platforms like Carousell and Facebook—but be warned, there are a huge number of scammers posing as resellers so procced with caution.
Although Ticketmaster Singapore cannot guarantee that tickets purchased elsewhere will be legitimate and should be avoided, if you're going to try your luck, here are some red flags to look out for in order to avoid getting scammed:
-
Be wary of those asking for a deposit
This is never a good sign, particularly if it's a non-refundable deposit. -
Do background checks
Check out the sellers history and their reviews on the platform. You can even do a bit of Googling to make sure the are who they say they are. -
Don't fall for fake screenshots
Tickets have not been sent out by Ticketmaster Singapore as yet and will only do so a few weeks before the shows in March 2024. So if someone is sending you screenshots of tickets, they are most likely fake. -
Consider seeing tickets in the flesh
Although you won't be able to do this until the tickets have been sent out closer to the show date, it's a good idea to check them in person so you know they are the real deal. -
Check against resources that fans are putting together
Swifties have been fighting back against scammers and fraudulent transactions with a range of community-led efforts. One in particular involves some 10,000 local and international fans working with a moderator to frequently update a live Google Sheets document. Although the owner of the sheet does not vouch for the authenticity of the entries, it’s a good place to start.
