3 friends who got tickets to all 6 Taylor Swift shows in Singapore said they used spreadsheets, 4 devices, and a network of extended relatives to do it
- Taylor Swift is kicking off her Singapore concert series.
- One Singaporean told CNA she got tickets to all six Swift shows in Singapore.
- She and her friends had to tap into an extended network of relatives to pull it off.
For Nat Jaafar and her two friends, watching Taylor Swift perform in Singapore was a must-do.
The three megafans managed to snag tickets to all six shows of the Southeast Asia leg of the popstar's Eras Tour by getting tactical and using their network, as per their interviews with Channel News Asia.
"I haven't seen her in nine years, and I felt like this is the best time to just go all out," said Jafar.
The group told CNA they used four devices each and reached out to friends, family, and even relatives they are not close to, to increase their chances of getting the sought-after tickets. They even prepared spreadsheets with their desired seating plan.
The friends said they spent about 1,200 Singapore dollars, or $893, per person for the six shows. They bought expensive tickets for the opening night and chose cheaper seats for the other five days, they told CNA.
Two of them requested time off from their full-time jobs for the show days.
"They know how much of a fan I am and were quite understanding about it. Even my bosses were like, 'Oh, she's going for six days!'" Jafaar said of her workplace.
People around the globe have been going to extreme measures to get their hands on Taylor Swift concert tickets. A TikToker in Australia said she accidentally spent $10,000 on concert tickets. Another woman told her best friend she'd be skipping her wedding to attend a Swift concert.
In Singapore, the show is slated to take place on March 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9.
