Taylor Swift tour coming to Miami
What to know about tickets, the tour and what Swifties are talking about.

Taylor Swift Eras Tour has been sold out for more than a year since tickets went on sale via Ticketmaster. The final leg of Swift’s Eras begins with a three night run at Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 18-20.
But secondary market sites StubHub and SeatGeek have resell tickets available for Miami’s three nights. They aren’t cheap.
Feeling lucky? Venerable South Florida radio station Y-100 (WHYI 100.7 FM) has a “be caller 10” call-in contest. Listeners could win a Taylor Swift prize bundle and that includes a grand prize chance at tickets for the opening night show. Some of us haven’t been this excited to listen to Y-100 with a phone nearby since it went on the air in 1973 by playing Seals & Crofts’ hit “Diamond Girl.”
Taylor Swift Eras Tour — Miami 2024, a private Facebook group with 21,000 members, aims to put Swift fans together, help in obtaining tickets through peer-to-peer sales, and build a community around the Miami October shows.
“The administrators of the group created a specific verification process for tickets that they require every seller to go through,” publicist Jared Sparrell said in an email to the Miami Herald. “They have instructions for sellers to verify their tickets and match them with buyers in their group. Since they have conducted a similar matchmaking process with previous Taylor Swift concerts, they know what to look for and do not tolerate scams.”
Scammers claim to have tickets, too, and many good people have had their social media accounts, such as Facebook, hacked by impostors. These fraudsters claim to be selling tickets at a good price using your name.
Beware. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably not true. And don’t look to Facebook to protect you by taking down fraudulent posts. You stood a better chance at scoring Swift tickets in the Ticketmaster lottery last year than you do getting Facebook to take down fraudulent posts.

If you didn’t get a ticket last year when Ticketmaster’s lottery opened here’s what StubHub and SeatGeek are showing as of Oct. 15 for available tickets. Both sites say tickets sold there are verified as legit. StubHub touts its security measures, like a FanProtect Guarantee that backs each purchase and claims to have accessible customer service should there be an issue. But keep in mind, these sites have fees that are added on at the end that will bump the prices up.
