South Florida hosts Taylor Swift this weekend, and ticket prices are skyrocketing

MIAMI GARDENS, Florida. — The final leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour begins Friday in South Florida.

The tour’s “Electric Touch” has “enchanted” Swifties and got them ready to see “Sparks Fly” in Miami Gardens for three nights this weekend.

Ticket prices are very high as fans try to get the coveted Hard Rock Stadium tickets.

6 p.m. report:

Demi Espinosa is one of those very lucky fans.

“I’m super excited!” she said. “That’s all I was thinking about!”

Espinosa was born with a rare heart condition, has had 13 surgeries (that’s Swift’s favorite number) and says Swift’s music helped her get through.

“Their music was so powerful. The only time I was doing physical therapy was listening to Taylor Swift,” she said.

Snagging these tickets has given Swifties quite a “cruel summer” and there has been some “bad blood” between Ticketmaster and fans as their website stated that no tickets were available.

Fans never thought it would be so difficult to get tickets and they can’t “shake it off”, making the situation a “delicate” one and causing people to look for tickets elsewhere. Scammers are aware of this and are spreading “bad karma”.

Additionally, tickets are selling for far more than their value and are being resold on StubHub and Seat Geek. The cheapest tickets start at $1,275 for Friday’s show, and the price only skyrockets from there.

Espinosa said that seeing Swift was a true blessing and that her “wildest dream” had come true.

“Peace and love, Taylor Swift. I love you,” she said, blowing a kiss.

Local 10 News reached out to Ticketmaster regarding the scams.

They responded with the following statement:

“Fraudsters are looking for new fraudsters across all industries and tickets will always be a target because they are so valuable. That’s why Ticketmaster continues to invest in new security improvements to keep fans safe.”
