Taylor Swift tickets in Vancouver offering no view of the stage are being resold for over a grand after they were initially released for less than $20.
On Monday, Ticketmaster released extra seats to the pop star’s Vancouver shows next month. However, there was a caveat, the available seats were behind the stage and provided no view of the pop star.
The “no stage view” tickets allows fans to be inside the arena but won‘t be able to see the star herself. The tickets went on sale for $16.50 for her shows on Dec. 6, 7 and 8, and as of Wednesday morning the tickets are already sold out.

“That’s horrible,” one X user said.
“Actually WILD,” another user said.
“It’s infuriating how some people take advantage of this and mark up the reselling price for x1000 the price they paid for. It should be illegal to resell her tickets at that price,” another comment read.
