Taylor Swift Vs. Ticketmaster Starts Again After More Botched Ticket Sales

The Swifties' ordeal with Ticketmaster has now gone international as the ticket sales giant once again botched a Taylor Swift Eras Tour ticket sale, this time in Europe, where Tay-Tay is scheduled to perform in France next summer.

With the news of Taylor Swift's French performance, French fans queued up on Ticketmaster's website on Tuesday morning. However, many were soon disappointed after the company suddenly paused sales events to several performances in the music star's French stops.

Following this latest debacle, the ticketing company immediately released a statement, saying, "Some of you might encounter problems with the website this morning - we are working on it and will keep you updated."

About an hour later, Ticketmaster paused the ticket sales events for concerts that were scheduled to take place at Paris La Défense Arena, according to CNN. French Swifties quickly bombarded the French Ticketmaster Twitter account demanding answers, with some of them complaining that they had been waiting in queue for hours.

Taylor Swift fans have been frustrated with Ticketmaster since the site first crashed in November. This led to multiple lawsuits against the ticketing giant, with US lawmakers even investigating the company on whether it has a monopoly over ticket sales.

However, the company has already warned fans that there is already an anticipated high demand for tickets to her concerts.

Those who won the lottery were given codes on Monday, and these fans can begin purchasing the tickets on Tuesday. However, much like the initial sales in the US, TicketMaster seems to have botched this one too,

She said that Tay-Tay gifted the entire team with gold tag necklaces engraved with the words "The Eras Tour."
