Panic Selling: Taylor Swift Fans Ditch London Shows Amid Security Fears
Send us your feedback to audioarticles@vaarta.com
Following a recent terror scare at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Vienna, supporters are now auctioning their tickets for the forthcoming London events. Authorities discovered a terror plan targeted at the Vienna concert, which was supposed to bring 65,000 people inside the stadium and another 30,000 outside, hence it was suddenly canceled. The accused meant, apparently, "to kill as many people as possible."
Following this news, tickets for Swift's London events flood ticket resale websites like Viagogo, with prices ranging from £500 to a shockingly £5,000. For the often sold-out events, even Ticketmaster has witnessed an increase in the accessible tickets.
One fan posted on social media expressing their worries and that they had to postpone their London trip because of safety concerns. Another shared these worries, hoping for more security but considering calling off their weekend plans despite the large outlay of funds.
Notwithstanding the Vienna cancellation, London Mayor Sadiq Khan reassured the public that the city will continue to host the five planned shows from August 15th to 20th. Two adolescents were arrested, therefore calling off the Vienna gigs; later on, a third suspect was arrested. The primary suspect, a 19-year-old, had apparently committed allegiance to the Islamic State, and bomb-making supplies turned up in his house.
Swift, who has before voiced worries about the safety of her supporters after the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, has not yet spoken on the latest events. While some supporters are choosing not to go, others are resolved to show up since they think security will be considerably more restricted today. Emphasizing the need of experiencing life to the utmost despite all the challenges, one fan urged others not to let fear control their behavior.
