| How Many People Signed Up For Verified Fan Toronto |
So, how many Swifties threw their names in the hat?
Drumroll please... An estimated 31 MILLION people signed up for the chance to snag tickets to see Taylor Swift rock Toronto during the Eras Tour. THIRTY. ONE. MILLION. That's more people than the entire population of Australia (cue cries from our friends Down Under).
But wait, there's more!
Here's the thing: not everyone who signed up became a Verified Fan. Ticketmaster uses this system to try and reduce the number of bots and scalpers, meaning only a select few get the golden ticket (or should we say, code) to purchase tickets.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
So how many became the chosen ones? Well, that number is under wraps, but based on the US leg of the tour, we're guessing somewhere around 3.5 million people made it to Verified Fan status. Even then, only a fraction of those lucky ducks actually scored a code.
The moral of the story?
Liking Taylor Swift on Facebook probably wasn't enough this time. But hey, at least you can say you participated in the biggest digital concert ticket brawl in Canadian history!
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
P.S. For those of you still clinging to hope (and maybe refreshing your email every five seconds), there's always the resale market. Just be prepared to pay an arm and a leg (and maybe a kidney).
