Taylor Swift concert tickets sold out so quickly that the general public missed out entirely.
Ticketmaster, responsible for selling seats to the singer's US tour, canceled the public sale due to "extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory.
" Pre-sales for select groups had already sold over two million tickets. However, Ticketmaster faced criticism when the demand crashed its website.
Nancy Abulmagd, a mother who won a pre-sale lottery, spent hours in a virtual queue attempting to secure seats for her 11-year-old daughter and friends, only to experience repeated website crashes and leave empty-handed.
The ordeal left Nancy feeling deflated and emotionally drained.
Ticketmaster attributed the issues to a "staggering number of bot attacks" and the immense demand for Swift's concerts, as she has been a prominent figure since her debut in 2006.
