An open letter to Taylor Swift...
To Taylor Swift, Taylor Nation and Big Machine Records,
I am writing to let you know that I will not be purchasing tickets to the reputation tour. This is a decision I have spent hours thinking about and I a decision I am far from happy about. Iâm 25, work hard, but most importantly in this, I am a massive Taylor Swift fan. I first heard your music in 2006, saw you live for the first time in 2011. Iâve been to 5 shows in 4 countries over the last 11 years. Iâve bought every album on release day, purchased magazines just for interviews with you in them. Iâve sat up to 5am watching award shows, was left speechless when Kanye interrupted at the 2009 VMAs. My point is, Iâm a fan, a real fan, Iâve been here from the start and I have to say this is the first time in 11 years that Iâve been left disappointed by being a fan.
You see my issue isnât with you, or reputation, because it is in fact my favourite album so far. My issue is with the ticket pricing for the tour. Tickets that range from âŹ74.50 right up to âŹ721.65 for Croke park in Dublin. I work a full time job but simply can not afford to spend hundreds of pounds on tickets for one night in a venue that holds 73,500 people. Essentially meaning that I could pay hundreds of pounds to stand so far away from you that Iâm not even able to see you on that stage. Is this fair when the point of Taylor Swift tix was to get tickets into the hands of the true fans? Fans like me? Like hundreds of others who simply can not afford to attend the reputation tour? I know I am not the only person in this situation and Iâm not the only fan who isnât happy about the pricing.
I am writing this to let you know that it is not too late to change your ticketing prices. It isnât too late to get the tickets into the hands of those like me who have been here from day 1, who have supported you through everything. I ask that you reconsider. That you take time to understand that the average working person can not afford that much money to see you live. I am of course not asking for free tickets, but tickets that are reasonably priced. Tickets I can afford.
I have no doubt in my mind that this tour will be just as big and successful as all your previous tours and I deeply regret that I will not be part of it unless ticketing prices are addressed.
 All my love
Hannah
