'I made a killing by flogging my Taylor Swift tickets – but now I feel guilty'

Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets have been like gold dust.

Fans had to register their interest before they even went on sale – and when the time came, they instantly sold out. As demand has soared, so have prices.

Some have sacrificed their tickets in return for big wads of cash, but this does come at a cost too. On Mumsnet, one woman shared her guilt after giving up her place at one of the sell-out stadiums.

She wrote: "Like a lot of people, I've been trying and failing to get Taylor Swift tickets for over a year. I had completely given up hope when I got an email this morning to say I was off the wait list... for a venue hundreds of miles away.

She continued: "I decided if I resold the tickets for above face value, I could put that money towards buying a (ridiculously overpriced) ticket for closer to home in August. I didn't take the absolute p**s, but I did advertise them for £100 above face value per ticket. They sold in literally three minutes, as they were the cheapest listed on the resale site by quite a lot."

The mum confessed the act went against "principles" of "reselling for profit". She said: "I've made £200 profit and that won't cover half of what the resale ticket for the concert I want to go to is currently selling for. But I feel absolutely bloody awful about it."
