Taylor Swift surprisingly announces two additional concerts in Gelsenkirchen for her “The Eras Tour”. The tickets for this are in great demand.
For true Swifties, the news must have felt like the announcement of a second Christmas: like Taylor Swift (33) and the ticket provider Eventim announced yesterday, July 6, that “due to the overwhelming demand” for the singer’s current “The Eras Tour” there will be two additional dates in Germany.
Additional concerts in Gelsenkirchen on July 17 and 19, 2024
Originally, only three concerts on German soil – in Hamburg, Munich and Gelsenkirchen – were scheduled for the European leg of the tour next year. After an additional concert was announced in Hamburg and Munich on July 5, Gelsenkirchen is now following suit. The pop singer will honor the Ruhr metropolis with a total of three guest performances. In addition to the original date of July 18, 2024, there will now be an additional concert in the Veltins Arena on July 17 and 19, 2024.
Extra tickets only to applicants who have already registered
However, fans who decide spontaneously to visit the additional concerts will get nothing if they have not already gone through the “application process” for the previously planned dates. To do this, the candidates had to register on the Eventim website by June 23, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. The tickets were then sold According to Eventim “to randomly selected registered persons on a ‘first come, first served’ basis”. In the next step, those chosen at random received a code and a date for the final advance ticket sale by e-mail and then had to hope to actually get hold of one of the tickets.
This means that only Swift fans who are already registered and who previously didn’t get anything get another chance to be able to purchase a concert ticket for their favorite star. The corresponding e-mails from the ticket provider with individual access codes will be sent to the applicants between July 5th and 11th.
First international tour after the Corona pandemic
“The Eras Tour”, which started on March 17, 2023 in the USA, is Taylor Swift’s first international tour after the corona pandemic. According to the current status, the pop and country star will give a total of 131 concerts during his concert marathon, 48 of them in European cities.
