Because she's spreading out over two nights this time -- and concert ticket sales in general are down -- we thought we would have a good chance landing tickets to one of Taylor Swift's June 14-15 dates at Xcel Energy Center this morning, using the fanclub presale access code that went out via email yesterday. We were wrong. We used the code (TS7002) on two different computers trying for two tickets to either of the shows starting right at 10 a.m. We got stuck in the annoying "waiting window" for 15-plus minutes in each case, and each time it came back with a "sorry, no matches" message when the wait was finally over. We tried again, and same thing. The code was essentially useless then. Granted, all that was required to receive it was signing up for Swift's chipper email list, so no doubt plenty of other fans (and uncles with Taylor-loving preteen neices) were attempting to use it today, too. We'll try again with the codeless general on-sale Friday at 10 a.m. ... or wait, make that 11 a.m. Snooze you lose.
Did any of you other Taylor followers get tickets with the access code today? How about you scalpers: Are you going to clean up on this one, too?
