There was no Blank Space to be found.
A Taylor Swift fan has spoken out after rocking up to the singer’s sold-out Eras Tour in Melbourne, Australia last month only to find her $800 ticket had virtually no view of the stage.
The self-proclaimed Swiftie revealed that her view was obstructed by a massive tent “tower” at the 100,000-seat-strong Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Taking to TikTok, the fan revealed that other attendees who traveled from Sydney were left in tears over the view — or lack thereof — after forking over hundreds of dollars to see the pop star’s show.
After raising the issue with workers at the venue, she claims they kept “getting passed on” to other staffers at the gig.
In fact, the fans ended up missing the first few songs from the 3-hour show but eventually managed to find a staffer who helped them out with tickets to seats on the other side of the stadium.
“We missed more of the concert as we raced around to the new seats, and while we made the best of things, it definitely impacted our experience,” she said in the video.

What’s more, the fan claims that staffers had asked her to hand out the remaining tickets to other disappointed fans.
Elsewhere, a fan found themself in a similar predicament after forking out $800 for VIP tickets, only to find out that the stage was completely obstructed by a crew and sound mix tent.
“POV: You pay $800 per ticket for VIP Taylor Swift tickets and you can’t see the stage,” she wrote in a TikTok video. “Ticktek pls explain.”
The fan later revealed she and her sister were moved to a different spot where they finally had a good view of the stage.
“They moved us to another restricted area but thankfully better than our original view,” she wrote on social media. “Took an hour of talking to 5 different supervisors, but we could see the stage which was all that mattered. Didn’t think paying for VIP would get us restricted seats.”
Swift wraps up her Singapore concerts on March 9 and will resume her global sold-out tour in Paris on May 9.
