Swifties impatiently waiting to get their hands on tickets to Taylor Swift's upcoming Eras tour may have to wait a little longer. Although presale tickets to certain shows were available as planned Tuesday, Ticketmaster was forced to delay several phases of its presale rollout due to a "historically unprecedented demand" for tickets.
Ticketmaster announced that the Capitol One presale is being rescheduled from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday, and ticket sales to West Coast shows, which were due to start at 10 a.m. local time, were delayed several hours as millions headed to the website to try to secure tickets, the seller said.
In order to access the presale tickets, people had to register with Ticketmaster last week. But the process was selective — not all fans who signed up got access to the presale. Those who were selected received a code Monday night, which they had to enter to access the presale that started at 10 a.m. local time Tuesday.

Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
