I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do. It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships in loyalties and excruciating for me to watch mistakes happen with no recourse.”The 11-time Grammy winner went on to say that she is looking into ways to improve the situation “going forward” and will not “make excuses” for the ticket sales company that is owned by Live Nation Entertainment.
“We asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand, and we were assured they could,” Swift wrote. “It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.”She concluded her message with a note to fans who were unable to secure tickets, writing, “All I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to get all get together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there.
